Procrastinators, you're in luck. Amazon is making it easier than ever to complete your holiday shopping online. The e-comm giant is now labeling Amazon Christmas gifts that can arrive in time for the holidays. This makes it easier to shop for gifts as you'll instantly know if the item you're buying meets any shipping deadlines. 

Amazon has even launched a same-day delivery gift guide with items that are all guaranteed to arrive before the holidays. Prime members get free same-day shipping; otherwise, non-members pay a flat fee of $9.99 per order. Remember, same-day delivery is available in 90 U.S. metro areas including New York, San Francisco, Dallas, St. Louis, and more. (You can check if your town has same-day delivery via this Amazon link).

    Thanks for the tip on the air fryer, but I suggest people buy it from Target. There's no Amazon shipping that guarantees it by Christmas but I got the same price and free shipping with delivery 12/16 on Target.
