Amazon last-minute gifts seen on TODAY
Need a stocking stuffer for someone who deserves some self-care? Shower steamers are a historic hit, turning your routine shower into a spa-like experience. Simply pop one of these pucks into the corner of the shower, let it steam up and breathe deep to reap the aromatherapy benefits. Then, to keep the relaxation going, throw on one of these warming eye masks and enjoy gentle heat for up to 30 minutes.
For the handyman (or woman!) on your list, these flashlight gloves are a Shop TODAY favorite. The hands-free hack lets you see what you’re doing in low light situations, whether you’re working on a DIY project, camping or going on a walk in the evening. Batteries included!
Editor’s note: Our original pick is now expected to arrive after Christmas, so we found a similar option to shop, below:
Channel your inner rockstar for under $30! For any kids or karaoke lovers in your life, this microphone works wirelessly with Bluetooth from up to 33 feet away, so you can queue up a song and get to crooning.

Don’t skip the beauty gift sets this season! These luxurious kits from Sol de Janeiro are a great deal and will be a hit with everyone from tweens to mature women. The travel-friendly trios smell incredible and each include a viral body firming cream, body wash (which previously won in the Shop TODAY Beauty Awards!) and a fragrance mist — all for just $34.
Coach has made a major comeback over the last year, and right now you can score a card case from the "it" brand on Amazon for just $50. They have four card slots plus a zip pocket and come in timeless colors. Brach says they're perfect for when you want to slim down from your usual bulky wallet, like when you're going out for an occasion, to a stadium for a concert or game or on vacation.
This cream by Charlotte Tilbury is not only an editor favorite, but it’s a celebrity favorite too. It contains ingredients like vitamin C and E, hyaluronic acid and peptides to keep your skin hydrated. Commerce editor and producer Julie Rivevuto interviewed Charlotte Tilbury herself years ago and says, "She told me that she originally created this Magic Cream to use on models backstage at fashion week to create the perfect glowing skin.”
Brach says this is a super neat nostalgic gift for anyone who was a gamer in the '90s or loves Legos. The 421-piece set allows you to actually build your very own Game Boy, with a lenticular screen and display stand. When it's put together, it's almost an exact replica of the original Game Boy model first released in 1989.
A great suitcase can take you far, and this one from an editor-loved brand is great for long and short travel. “I took 36 flights this year and used them to test out travel gear,” Ricevuto says. “Away continues to be one of my go-to brands!”
