It’s that time of year again, folks! The Christmas lights are up, the smell of fresh cut pine trees is in the air, and the stores are packed with people rushing around trying to find that perfect gift for someone special. The only problem with that is that literally thousands of other last-minute shoppers are trying to buy the same things from the same stores… at the same time!
This is why Amazon is a rock star among online super sellers, because they have just about everything you could think of, and you never even have to think about stepping foot inside a crazy, packed out store. Couple that with their insanely fast shipping times, which is free if you’re an Amazon Prime member, and you’re in Christmas shopping heaven. They are basically the Costco of online shopping.
This is particularly helpful if you have no idea of what to get that special someone, or even that not-so-special someone. Not to worry, though. If you need to find a good gag-gift for your work’s White Elephant party, or something practical for your brother-in-law, Amazon will have you covered.
All of the perks for the socially anxious procrastinators aside, the absolute best thing about Amazon is their super low prices. They are pretty fairly priced year round on most items, but you can save BIG time with all of the cyber deals going on right now, and have it at your doorstep (or your loved ones) tomorrow. Do yourself and your wallet a favor this year and check out this list of the 50 best gift ideas on Amazon for under $25.

The use of essential oils in our day to day lives has seen a sharp increase in popularity over the last decade or so, and for good reason. Aromatherapy has been proven to work wonders on people’s moods, memory, and physical bodies with the right application. What many people don’t know is that how you diffuse your oils is just as important as which ones you’re inhaling. Standard diffusers use heat to warm up the essential oils to create the steam that we inhale. Unfortunately, heat can also break the medicinal properties of these oils down and render them less effective. That is what makes this ultrasonic essential oil diffuser such a fantastic gift because it disburses the essential oils into the air via a cold mist, keeping the oils intact, and it comes with 3 different misting settings to satisfy every user!
