Christmas shopping can easily turn in to a second job during the holiday season. Instead of feeling the comfort and joy of the season, you're just stressed out. From friends to family and co-workers, there are so many people you may want to gift. And so little time!

Between work, family and other priorities and parties, finding time to shop before December 25th can be ridiculously tough. Plus, it's always a challenge to find exactly what you're looking for in one place. (And, who wants to battle all those crowds and packed parking lots on Christmas Eve?!) But you know where you can do all your shopping in one stop from the comfort of your couch at any time? Amazon. (Praise hands!)

Before you go into meltdown mode, remember the beauty that is Amazon Prime, specifically. It's filled with last-minute Christmas gift ideas for literally everyone on your list. Seriously, Amazon has every present you can think of and chances are, it can get to your house in just two days. (Which is one of Amazon Prime's biggest perks). So if you end up forgetting someone you didn't have on your list, or just tend to procrastinate your Christmas shopping until the last minute, shopping on Amazon is a pretty fool-proof way to buy gifts for everyone.

It's a no-brainer way to get all your Christmas shopping done. So, without wasting another second, here are our picks for the 45 best last-minute Christmas gifts for all your friends and family:

8. For the fitness lover: At-Home Workout Pack

Nothing says "I've been thinking about your present for months," more than personalized stationery, right?! That's what your mom/cousin/aunt might think, but in reality, you placed that order mere days ago. Expect a thank you card instead of a text this year—after all, you deserve it.

35. For new parents: "Best Gift Ever" Onesie

They're going to take a million pics of their little one's first holiday anyway, so you might as well make sure the kid's dressed to the nines, right? (Especially since you'll likely be seeing allll those pics on social media...)


36. For the cat lover: Cat-tastic Makeup Bag

37. For the new homeowner: Echo Dot

This may just be the perfect last-minute gift because it totally doesn't seem like one (I mean, you ordered this weeks ago, right?).
