Like many of us, you probably lose your perception of time around the holiday gifting season. Between the stress of travel plans, nonstop work, and the impending new year, it's easy to wake up on Christmas Eve and realize you're woefully unprepared — or, at least, you forgot a gift for that one friend who sends you presents every year. But are there even any good unique presents with next-day delivery during peak holiday rush time?
Thankfully, yes: In the golden age of online shopping, it's easier than ever to hunt for presents with a 24-hour time crunch. Amazon Prime offers famously fast shipping, but some of our other favorite shops will get the goods straight to your doorstep within a day or two. Several others offer immediate in-store pickup. If you're willing to brave the weather and hectic crowds, you can also save on shipping. We scoped out the best next-day delivery retailers, and with last-minute gifts as cute as these, no one will be able to tell you weren't meticulously planning your presents for weeks. Promise.
