Black Friday is almost here, but you don’t have to wait till then to start shopping. We’ve found the best holiday gifts on Amazon to kick the season off right. Best of all, most of our finds are under $100. We think that’s something to be merry about.

How do I order Christmas gifts on Amazon?

Ordering Christmas gifts on Amazon is super easy. In fact, it’s like ordering anything from the retailer. Simply find the item you want, add to your cart, and then checkout. Simple, right?

We will say that the sooner you purchase your holiday gifts, the better. Unfortunately, shipping delays and product shortages tend to be part of the holiday shopping experience, so it’s also better to get an early jump on things.

If you’re still getting your list together or prefer waiting till closer to the holiday to grab items, consider becoming an Amazon Prime Member. One of the perks of being a Prime Member is same day, one day, and two day shipping. Membership is $139 a year, which is roughly $11 per month, pre-tax. There’s a 30-day free trial to see how you like it. Personally speaking, once you starting receiving orders in a day or two, it’s really hard to accept anything else.

What are the 5 gifts of Christmas?

The five gifts of Christmas is a template for holiday shopping to help families save money. It follows the rule that each person on your list can only receive five gifts, one per the following categories:

  • Something the person wants
  • Something the person needs
  • Something to wear
  • A book
  • An experience and/or something to do

Obviously, this is more of a game or personal challenge, and you’re not breaking any holiday rules of etiquette to follow it. However, if present shopping (regardless of what holiday it’s for) overwhelms you, selecting items from one of the five categories can be helpful. Here are some suggestions:

Something to read: Go-to-Dinners: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook

It’s only $20.98, filled with gorgeous food photography and deliciously simple recipes that culinary newbies and experts will love flipping through.

Something someone wants: Ruko U11S Drone ($229.99)

Help a loved one indulge their artistic aspirations. Along with just being fun, the drone has a 90-degree adjustable 4K camera to take amazing videos from above.

Something to wear: Amazon Essential Cotton Pajama Set (starting at $19.05)

Everyone needs a new pair of PJs, and this set from Amazon is under $20! They come in several different colors, and are made from a blend of cotton, modal, and elastane.

Something someone needs: hum by Colgate Smart Battery Toothbrush Kit ($27.41)

Everyone should be switching out their toothbrush for a new one every three months, and the electric variety are better than manual. What we like about the one from hum is that it has a timer to keep you brushing for the right amount of time. The brush vibrations are also customizable, so if you have sensitive gums, you can adjust the pulse strength.

Something to do: Gotrax LIL CUB Hoverboard For Kids ($109.99)

This is one of the best holiday gifts on Amazon for children, ages 6 to 12. It has self-balancing controls for stability, front LED lights to light the path, and goes up to 2.5 miles on a single charge. More importantly, it keeps kids active (and gives you a break).
