I'm Yahoo's gifting expert, so take it from me: These are the ultimate Christmas gift ideas for all the men, women, kids and teens in your life.

Win Christmas with these crowd-pleasers, starting at just $10 — from a monthly snack subscription to a brand-new Lego release.

The most wonderful — er, stressful — time of the year is here. And since Christmas shipping deadlines are as soon as tomorrow (!), there's no time like the present to buy the remaining gifts on your shopping list. Feeling a bit tapped out? You've come to the right place because it's literally my job to identify the best gift ideas across the internet — and the Christmas gifts below are, dare I say, the best of the best.

Sure, we're down to the wire, but who says you can't find great gifts at the last minute? Not me, that's who. I've compiled a list of Christmas gift ideas that range in price (starting under $25), sentiment level and delivery times (because, ya know, you waited until the eleventh hour). Eyeing something unexpected for your mom or dad who seemingly has it all? Forget the Jelly of the Month Club nonsense and go with a smart bird feeder or Storyworth subscription that will inspire more shared moments in the year to come. What about a Christmas gift for your, um, very particular tween or teen? Tap into the trends and get them something from Laneige or Owala (or give 'em one of each to show that you know what's up).

Grouped by the recipient for easier shopping, scroll through this curated Christmas gift guide to find the perfect present for everyone on your list — from men and women of all ages to the kids that they're raising and all the loved ones in between. And if you're on stocking duty this year, take a look at this list of stocking stuffer ideas, along with options specifically for men and women (once you sort out their bigger presents, of course).

Anyone who has a car could put this goo to good use. Press it into any hard-to-reach spots — cupholders, air vents, the steering wheel, you name it — and peel back years of dust, dirt and grime. Snag a few tubs (they're under $10 each!) and stick them in your loved one's stockings!

The next time your globe-trotter hits the skies, they can plug this Bluetooth adapter into the airplane seat's audio jack to pair their AirPods (or any wireless headphones) with ease — and they can sync up their seatmate's earbuds. Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida called it a "genius gadget" in his review, writing that it "worked flawlessly, pairing easily with my AirPods Pro and remembering that connection from one session to the next."

A bunch of Lego's holiday releases are long gone (yep, including that Christmas tree), but this zero-maintenance stunner is still in stock. Their creativity will blossom as they turn 608 pieces into this realistic-looking poinsettia, complete with posable foliage and a woven basket base. It's best suited for ages 18 and up, but younger builders can give it a whirl (with some backup, of course).

Break up into teams (anywhere from 2 to twelve people) and see if you're on the same — wait for it — wavelength. One by one, teammates will give a clue (like gelato) and the rest of the team will put their heads together to decide where it falls on the spectrum (hot or cold). The closer you are, the more points you get!

At what point do we all become novice birdwatchers? I don't know (yet), but what I do know is that smart bird feeders are one of the most sought-after Christmas gifts this year. This Amazon bestseller captures photos and videos of all the action, plus it sends notifications when a new feathered friend makes a pit stop.

Selena Gomez is a big fan of Our Place, so it's no wonder that the brand's small-but-mighty oven made this year's Google Holiday 100 (and not to mention, a spot on our list of the best air fryers!). This space-saving beauty can air fry, bake, roast, toast, reheat and broil , plus it comes with four accessories — a nonstick sheet pan, air fryer basket, wire rack and crumb tray — to help you get the job done.

Let me speak from experience: I never knew just how much a self-heating mug could revolutionize my morning coffee routine until the Ember came into my life. Just brew your drink, then set your ideal temperature (somewhere between 120-145°F) and sip for hours without catching a chill. Don't want to take my word for it? Broida said it's the best heated coffee mug and the household appliance he'd be most likely to save in a fire, which is quite the endorsement.

There's more than meets the eye with this duffel. This compact carry-on pulls double duty since it has a built-in garment bag for a suit or stack of dress shirts. "It offers enough room as a duffel (even with the suit in the garment section) to fit a week's worth of clothes," Managing Editor Scott Simone raved in our roundup of the best luggage. (FWIW, I gave one to my boyfriend last year and it's now his go-to travel bag.)

Sure, candle warmers really made waves after being featured on the 2023 Google Holiday 100 List, but I'm here to tell you this craze isn't going anywhere anytime soon. While this isn't the exact model on their list, this farmhouse-style lamp is an Amazon bestseller with all the bells and whistles, including a timer, dimmable light and remote control. "Makes the house smell great with no smoke fumes or flames," one glowing reviewer wrote, adding that it fits larger vessels like the "Bath and Body Works 3-wick candles no problem."

Gold hoop earrings are trendier than ever — so much so that they made this year's Google Holiday 100 list. My rec: These chunky hoops for just $14, which can be worn solo or stacked for maximum impact.

Now, she'll be able to make a fast and easy brew when she needs it most. "I filled it halfway and the water was boiling in forty seconds. I didn't even have the tea bag out of the envelope yet," one rave reviewer wrote. This brewtiful kettle isn't just for tea drinkers, though: The angled, no-spill spout allows for a controlled pour, which is a perfect for pour-over coffee.

She's got a cashmere scarf or two, but what about cashmere-lined gloves? Yep, talk about the epitome of quiet luxury. Elevate her winter gear with black or chocolate brown leather gloves lined with a quality cashmere that Quince claims is three times as warm as wool.

Forget flowers. This may look like any ol' tabletop tree — that is, until you get a closer look and whiff. She can use it strictly as decor during the festive season, then repot it into something more evergreen (get it?) and keep it in her kitchen for easy access while she cooks.

Readers, crafters and tinkerers will put this hands-free neck light to good use. They can switch between three different color temperatures and brightness modes until they've got it just right. More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers picked it up last month, with one writing that they originally bought it "so I could crochet at night when my husband wanted the room dark for TV" but found it especially useful to "have on hand in case there's a storm when you lose electricity."

They say a picture's worth a thousand words, but what about 40,000+ of 'em? Priceless.

Get things started by uploading some of your favorite memories to the Frameo companion app, then tell your parents that they can have their family and friends follow suit.

Eye strain's got nothin' on this cult-favorite massager. Toggle between different compression, vibration and heat levels to soothe dry, tired eyes. Want a truly spa-worthy experience?

When they finally peel themselves away, they can rest their read on the triangle portion to hold their spot.

Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, but with a seasonal spin. One five-star reviewer said this hand-slapping card was fun for all ages, writing that "ages 8-76 played and laughed our foolish heads off." Need a refresher on the rules? One by one, players put down a card and say "Santa," "Cookie," "Elf," "Candy" or "Snowman in order. If the word matches the card, the last person to slap their hands down has to pick up all the cards. The first player to run out of cards wins.

Giving acne products as gifts is usually a hard no for me, but pimple patches are now seen as a badge of honor of sorts. Inside this cheery case, they'll find 32 star-shaped patches that are just as cute as they are effective. The yellow ones are best for surface-level pimples, but you can spring for the blue to tackle deeper, clogged pores (or better yet, give 'em one of each).

Laneige has a hold over the tweens and teens, so lean in by gifting your beauty lover this holly jolly duo.

Made for ages two and up, this ride-on car also comes with three mini Amazon boxes and three wooden toys that the driver can deliver to happy customers (ahem, you). Place your orders, stat: This all-new release topped Amazon's 2024 Toys We Love List and will likely sell out before Santa takes flight.

Another reusable water bottle? Hear me out on this one. Unlike the trendy tumblers on the market, this Amazon bestseller is virtually spill-proof, with our Deputy Editor Izabella Zaydenburg gushing that "it can be flipped upside down without leaking." It also comes in dozens of cute colors (that even your hard-to-please teen would approve of), has a built-in straw and keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours.
