It’s a tale as old as time: You start your holiday shopping on Black Friday and swear this will be the year you finally get all of your gifts wrapped and under the tree by mid-December. Then, somehow Christmas is next week and you’re nowhere near done stocking up on presents. And because it’s 2020, there’s an extra twinge of panic this year, thanks to pandemic-related shipping delays.

But thankfully, Amazon is here for all of your last-minute shopping needs (per usual). The retail giant just announced that its Prime members will be able to shop over 10 million items eligible for free one-day delivery through December 23. Yup, that means they’ll arrive by Christmas Eve. Should you happen to procrastinate until December 24, you can shop millions of items eligible for free same-day delivery on purchases of $35 or more. In other words, Christmas is saved. Here, five gifts that are guaranteed to arrive in time for the big day.
