Holiday shopping isn’t always easy — it’s tough picking out something for everyone on your Christmas list! From the teen who has everything to your notoriously tough-to-shop-for dad, finding just the right thing to please your loved ones can be a real challenge. This year, however, an unexpected hero has emerged to make your holiday shopping a total breeze: one miss Mariah Carey!
The 49-year-old songbird — aka the “Queen of Christmas” — took time out from prepping for her All I Want for Christmas tour (kicking off November 22) to create a fool-proof gift guide from the thousands of items available on Amazon in honor of the 25th anniversary of her famous 1994 Merry Christmas album.
“I picked some holiday must-haves for my Amazon gift guide!” she wrote on Twitter.

While we’d expect nothing less than the best-of-the-best from Carey, her list of holiday essentials is truly awe-inspiring. The singer thought of everything! There are giant stuffed giraffes ($83.99, Amazon) and kites ($19.95, Amazon) for the kids, tea sets ($34.99, Amazon) and stone diffusers ($119, Amazon) for those who deserve a little R&R (we’re looking at you, Mom!), and, of course, several picks for the music lovers in your life — karaoke, anyone? ($219.95, Amazon). The chanteuse even chose a few items for your four-legged family members, including a bone ($99, Amazon) that will move on its own for owner-free playtime!
If you’re cringing at the thought of how much hand-selected presents by a glam celeb like Carey might run you, fear not — the star’s product selections range in price from $16.43 to $315, so they’re sure to fit within any budget you may be working with.
We don’t know abut you, but we’re thoroughly impressed. Keep scrolling to shop Mariah’s picks for the best Amazon finds around and discover how you can cater them to every person you need to shop for this holiday season!
