The 26 best Christmas gifts that'll arrive by December 25

A cleaning product for Father's Day? Hear me out: This top-selling slime is a year-round Yahoo reader favorite, and it's selling like crazy right now. It's not just any ol' goo — he can press it into cup holders, air vents and other hard-to-reach areas, then peel it away to remove crumbs, dust and other unwanted debris.

These dermatologist-tested eye masks are a treat for anyone who's into self care (or wants to be into self care). They banish under-eye circles, lines and puffiness, and they feel nice and cool while they're on.

Selena Gomez is a big fan of Our Place, so it's no wonder that the brand's small-but-mighty oven made this year's Google Holiday 100 (and not to mention, a spot on our list of the best air fryers!). This space-saving beauty can air fry, bake, roast, toast, reheat and broil , plus it comes with four accessories — a nonstick sheet pan, air fryer basket, wire rack and crumb tray — to help you get the job done. As of now, Spice (the one shown here) is the only color that'll arrive in time, but if you prefer one of the other shades, just let the recipient know that it'll show up at their door a couple of days late. 

Because Dad loves a problem solver. This set of gooseneck lights magnetically attaches to any grill — Traeger, Weber, you name it — so your favorite grill master can actually see what's on the grates. The best part? He can set them up immediately since batteries are included — a rare feat in the gifting world!

Your stepmom had a full life before you entered the picture. With an annual Storyworth subscription, she’ll have a platform to share it with you (and anyone else who cares to listen). Each week she'll answer new questions about her past, present and future, and her answers will be printed in a hardcover book for all to read.

Nothing's going to stop your guy from doing whatever he wants to do — nope, not even winter's darkest, coldest days. Snag this light-up beanie to keep him safe and snuggly warm when he runs, walks the dog, takes out the trash or goes on a late-night trip to the supermarket. He'll get eight hours of light on a single charge.

Eye strain's got nothin' on this cult-favorite massager. They can use the remote to toggle between different compression, vibration and heat levels to soothe dry, tired eyes. Want a truly spa-worthy experience? Connect your phone via Bluetooth to play the calming music of your choice.

More than 20,000 Amazon shoppers picked up this futuristic-looking mask in the past month, including one who called it the "very thing you didn't know you needed." "Having my eyes massaged is nice, but the massage this device gives my temples is like HEAVEN! I even created a jazz playlist to listen to while getting the massage," they wrote.

Sure, candle warmers really made waves after being featured on the 2023 Google Holiday 100 List, but I'm here to tell you this craze isn't going anywhere anytime soon. While this isn't the exact model on their list, this chic glass lamp is an Amazon bestseller with all the bells and whistles, including a timer, dimmable light and remote control. 

This hand-slapping card game is fun for the whole family. One by one, players put down a card and say "Taco," "Cat," "Goat," "Cheese and "Pizza" in order. If the word matches the card, the last person to slap their hands down has to pick up all the cards. The first player to run out of cards wins.

I've only played it with other adults and, let's just say, it really brings out everyone's competitive spirit (and that's putting it lightly). Tons of Amazon shoppers, however, can vouch that it's suitable for all ages. "My family loves family game night and we have seven kiddos, ages 17 down to 7. We have only a few games on our game shelf that all of the kids unanimously agree on, and TCGCP is one of them," one reviewer raved.

Keep all of their reading essentials — their reading glasses, go-to coffee mug, phone, you name it — within arm's reach. When they need to get up (ugh, responsibilities!), they can rest their book on the triangle portion to hold their spot.

Why? Because one picture is never enough. Upload photos or videos directly from your phone (or theirs) to this Wi-Fi-powered frame through the accompanying app or by sending them to the dedicated email address. It has free, unlimited storage, so they can look back on as many moments as they wish, plus they can invite family and friends to add new memories to the rotation. And if you're giving it to your grandma, grandpa or another loved one who's hesitant about tech, you can set it up in advance so their only task is to turn it on and enjoy the show. 

Aura's pricier model, The Walden, topped Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida's list of the best digital picture frames, but this budget-friendly pick has all the same bells and whistles. The main difference is that this one's about 5 inches smaller — but that's a small price to pay, especially since you can get it for 20% off right now. 

Let me speak from experience: I never knew just how much a self-heating mug could revolutionize my morning coffee routine until the Ember came into my life. Just brew your drink, then set your ideal temperature (somewhere between 120-145°F) and sip for hours without catching a chill. Don't want to take my word for it? Broida said it's the best heated coffee mug and the household appliance he'd be most likely to save in a fire, which is quite the endorsement.

Ember mugs are selling fast, so color options are few and far between. Right now, copper and white are your best bet if you want 'em to arrive in time. 

Because quality time is the best Christmas gift you can give. Instead of picking something on their behalf, let them choose from over 13,000 activities across 100+ countries in Tinggly's catalog. The world is their oyster: They can go with any experience worth the full price of the voucher, from skip-the-line tickets for the whole family at international hot spots to food tours much closer to home. 

Make 2025 the year that they actually do the dang thing — and by that I mean check some destinations off their bucket list. With this pass, they'll get free entry for themselves and everyone else in their car at all of our national parks for a whole year from the month of purchase. 

How's his nightstand looking these days? If it's overrun with gadgets and gizmos, then follow Broida's lead and get this "one charger to rule them all." This sleek stand made Broida's list of the best tech gadgets because it "provides bedside homes for your AirPods, iPhone and Apple Watch, all charged wirelessly and magnetically via a single, unobtrusive power cord." It comes in white and black, but spring for the latter if you want an earlier arrival. 

Raise a glass to his favorite city, whether it's his current home or a place he lived way back when. Pair it with his liquor of choice or pick up a trio of glasses to represent his past, present and future. 

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so sign him up for this monthly subscription to make him feel the love for months on end. With each box, he'll get up to a dozen sweet and salty snacks from a different country from around the world. You pick the first destination, then Universal Yums takes it from there. 

Gold hoop earrings are trendier than ever — so much so that they made this year's Google Holiday 100 list. My rec: These chunky hoops for just $14, which can be worn solo or stacked for maximum impact.

Paid for by Walmart

Now, she'll be able to make a fast and easy brew when she needs it most. "I filled it halfway and the water was boiling in forty seconds. I didn't even have the tea bag out of the envelope yet," one rave reviewer wrote. This brewtiful kettle isn't just for tea drinkers, though: The angled, no-spill spout allows for a controlled pour, which is a perfect for pour-over coffee. Go with sage green or black if you want it by Christmas.

Forget flowers. This may look like any ol' tabletop tree — that is, until you get a closer look and whiff. She can use it strictly as decor during the festive season, then repot it into something more evergreen (get it?) and keep it in her kitchen for easy access while she cooks. Pay an extra $10 to make sure it's delivered on Christmas Eve.

Giving acne products as gifts is usually a hard no for me, but pimple patches are now seen as a badge of honor of sorts. Inside this cheery case, they'll find 32 star-shaped patches that are just as cute as they are effective. The yellow ones are best for surface-level pimples, but you can spring for the blue to tackle deeper, clogged pores (or better yet, give 'em one of each). 

The only thing better than watching your Amazon order arrive is seeing your little one scoot around on their own toddler-size delivery van. Made for ages two and up, this ride-on car also comes with three mini Amazon boxes and three wooden toys that the driver can deliver to happy customers (ahem, you). Place your orders, stat: This all-new release topped Amazon's 2024 Toys We Love List and will likely sell out before Santa takes flight. 

Another reusable water bottle? Hear me out on this one. Unlike the trendy tumblers on the market, this Amazon bestseller is virtually spill-proof, with our Deputy Editor Izabella Zaydenburg gushing that "it can be flipped upside down without leaking." It also comes in dozens of cute colors (that even your hard-to-please teen would approve of), has a built-in straw and keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours. 

This hand-slapping card game is fun for the whole family. One by one, players put down a card and say "Taco," "Cat," "Goat," "Cheese and "Pizza" in order. If the word matches the card, the last person to slap their hands down has to pick up all the cards. The first player to run out of cards wins.
