Christmas may be fast approaching, but holiday shoppers who have yet tick off every name on their list need not fret as there is still enough time — even if the shopping is done online. Amazon is offering a "Procrastinator's Delight" special wherein all orders made through its Prime Now service until midnight on Dec. 24 will be delivered in just one to two hours. With this in mind, a lot of last-minute gift ideas can still be found on the online retailer's website.
"Hamilton," for example, was the most popular Broadway musical this year. Why not gift a music lover the "Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" audio CD priced at $18.99 for Christmas? It won't even matter if the recipient has seen the musical or not because the music from Lin-Manuel Miranda continues to be entertaining whether you've never heard it before or if you've been singing along hundreds of times.
Meanwhile, shoppers can't go wrong with giving gamers a copy of the most popular video titles released in the last couple of months. Some suggestions are open world titles like "Final Fantasy XV" ($39.99) and "Dead Rising 4" ($39.98) and the action-adventure game "The Last Guardian" ($59.49).
The Kindle Fire 7-inch ($39.99) is also a great gift to give this Christmas without having to break the bank. The tablet features a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor and 8 GB of internal storage which can be expanded to 200 GB via a microSD card. It comes with the Alexa cloud-based voice service and provides up to seven hours of battery life.
A lot of people will be focusing on their health after indulging on delectable treats this holiday season. Why not get the ultimate exercise companion — the Fitbit Charge 2 ($116.96)? The fitness wristband is able to track one's heartbeat and activities each day. It also provides better understanding of one's fitness level and sleeping patterns.
