Amazon devices and other great gifts with delivery by Christmas

By

There are just three days until Christmas, but you don’t have to restrict your shopping to local stores to buy gifts in time for the holiday. Amazon adds new deals to its Last-Minute Deals campaign daily. If Amazon has full confidence in its ability to deliver to your home in time, the words “Arrive before Christmas” are printed in green letters a few lines below the product price. Whether you’re searching for great bargains or looking for perfect presents, Amazon has loads of great gifts ready for shipment to arrive before Christmas. Don’t delay long if you decide to buy one of these products, however, because a deal that’s available for pre-Christmas arrival when we check early in the day may not be available as the day goes on.

Amazon product pages indicate whether delivery is possible before Christmas. Because Amazon knows your address when you log on to the site, shipping availability will likely vary depending on your location and is proximity to the nearest distribution center that has a specific product in stock. There is no such thing as absolute with delivery services, but the estimates are a big help. If an item is not going to be in stock till a date after Christmas, the pages include that information, which is a big help. When we selected the products listed lower in this article, for example, delivery before  December 25 was a required criterion.

You can find excellent deals on 4K TVs, Apple Watches, Fitbits, Garmin smartwatches, and Bose products. There are still high-quality headphones from Sony, Bang & Olufsen, and Bose, Roomba and Ecovacs robotic vacuums, Instant Pots, and Nespresso coffee makers available for a timely delivery.

Amazon dropped several new deals leading up to and beyond Christmas. Until today, December 22, for example,

DeWalt Tools

have special savings.  Also through today, Amazon has a last-minute discount on

Noot NP20T Bluetooth Earbuds.

.

Amazon continues to offer excellent discounts on its owned-brand products, including such as Echo, Kindle, Fire, Ring Video Doorbells, and Ring and Blink security cameras. There are still good deals on most Amazon Echo smart home devices such as the Echo and Echo Dot, Echo Shows, Fire TVs, Fire Tablets, and Kindle e-readers. Be on the lookout for exclusive deals on Amazon device bundles with unprecedented savings. We also continue to see new sales on third-party Alexa-compatible devices, including video doorbells, smart security cameras, speakers, lights, robot vacuums, and other appliances.

If you start your shopping on Amazon’s

Last-Minute Deals page

, you can search by category, which is a significant time-saver if you know the type of gift but not the specific brand or model — you might as well look at the deals first. That same page is a good starting point to check out the day’s lightning deals, short-term, limited-quantity sales, and exclusive bundles. We’ll update this page with the very best deals in the categories we monitor.

Some prices are a tick higher than during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but there are still tons of killer discounts.

Some of the best deals are on Amazon Echo devices, but you can also find excellent deals on Apple Watch Series 3, 4, and 5, iPads, iPhones, Fitbits, Sonos speakers, Instant Pots, 4K TVs, and more. Selected Amazon devices from categories such as Echo Dots, Fire TV sticks, and Ring lights and cameras are all available during the extended holiday sale.

What the iPhone SE really needs to stand out
woman riding the bus watching the iPhone SE.

Apple unveiled the refreshed iPhone SE last week. In all truth, though, “refresh” is a pretty strong word. Apple replaced the A13 chip in the 2020 iPhone SE with the latest A15, the same found in the iPhone 13 series. The new model also comes with 5G, a bigger battery, and "the toughest glass in a smartphone." That last one is typical Apple lingo for being vague and hard to verify.

On paper, those are some sizable updates. And yet, the new iPhone SE feels underwhelming. That’s because, despite all of these improvements, the iPhone SE just looks like an older phone. That’s because it is. The iPhone SE line has always come in an older chassis. Part of this is likely to keep costs down by repurposing unused models, and it creates a clear distinction between the “cheap” and “premium” iPhone models.

Amazon Echo vs. Apple HomePod: Which has better speakers?
The Amazon Echo 4 on a counter.

If you haven't jumped into the smart speaker pool, it’s probably because it’s a tough decision. Choosing a smart speaker isn't just about picking a model with the best sound quality or the color that matches your living room. Smart speakers also have major smart home control properties and can play nicely with some music services, streaming TV channels (if you opt for a speaker with a screen), or home security systems.

A smart speaker opens the door for expanding your smart home portal. Since most of us won’t buy a smart home speaker to work with a Ring Video Doorbell and another to manage Apple’s HomeKit via your iPhone, you'll want to choose carefully. For a lot of buyers, that comes down to a choice between Apple HomePod or Amazon Echo (and if you're short on space it might just be HomePod Mini versus Echo Dot).
