I've searched high and low to find the best last-minute Christmas gifts that'll arrive before Santa — and the picks below are the cream of the crop.

And no, you won't find any gift cards or digital subscriptions on this list. There's more than enough time to order something and wrap it up before Dec. 25. Most of these Christmas gifts will arrive in two or three days with Amazon Prime, but select finds from retailers like Kate Spade Outlet and Sephora may take upwards of a week to show up at your door. Either way, they'll all make it with days to spare!

I know time is of the essence, so I'll get right to the good stuff. Need another stocking stuffer for your tween or teen?

This gooseneck tablet holder is a no-brainer if their iPad is always attached to their hip. Check out these thoughtful last-minute Christmas gift ideas and so much more down below.

How well do you know your friends and family? This game will put that very question to the test. Present a question to the group and guess what everyone else jotted down on their notepad — if your answer is in the majority, you win cow tokens. If, say, your answers don't match up, then you're stuck with the pink cow, which prevents you from winning the game.

Anyone who drives (or, ya know, rides in the passenger seat) can put this magical goo to good use.

"This stuff is fun and super satisfying," one five-star fan raved. "The interior looks like we took our car to get detailed after using this!"

Get two Christmas gifts for the price of one. This set comes with two individually boxed slow cookers, plus a pair of limited-edition Scrub Mommy sponges — one for each gift. Keep in mind that the slow cookers are on the smaller side (2 quarts each), so they're better suited for someone who lives alone or cooks for two.

He doesn't go anywhere without his iPad and, well, his body is starting to feel the effects. He can clamp this gooseneck tablet holder just about anywhere — his bed frame, desk, bathtub, kitchen island, you name it — so he can see the screen without craning his neck.

Chances are, he just throws his AirTags into his wallet and calls it a day. Now, he can stick the tracker in one of these sleek holders and slip it into any card slot.
