Friday is the last day to take advantage of Amazon Prime’s free 2-day shipping, so the pressure is on if you’re still not done with your holiday shopping. We scoured Amazon to find the six best deals available that can make fantastic gifts for your loved ones to help you finish your holiday shopping. It turns out there are some pretty great discounts on awesome products we love.
1. A portable charger for all your devices
Having a backup battery on hand can save a lot of stress for anyone who spends a lot of time on their phone (so, you know, everyone). This particular portable charger is a favorite among our editors not only because it can charge up to three devices at once, but it can charge a single device as many as six times before you need to recharge it. And we haven’t seen it on sale for this low in well over two years.

2. An espresso maker anyone can use
Espressos and lattes are the kinds of drinks most people only enjoy when they stop by a coffee shop. Espresso makers tend to be expensive, and pulling a perfect shot is an art form best left to baristas—until now. Your coffee-obsessed loved one will be thrilled to try out the Nespresso Essenza Mini Espresso Machine. It uses coffee “capsules” much like a Keurig, but it tastes worlds—no, galaxies—better. Until this month, the price had never dropped below $100 for this machine, and today's deal is the lowest price we’ve ever seen. Pick up a variety pack of capsules for $35 to keep your loved one caffeinated for the next month, too.

3. A wireless charger for your friend with the new iPhone
Anyone on your list who has a smartphone with wireless charging (Samsung Galaxy S8, Note 8, or iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X) is sure to love the convenience of a wireless charger. Even if they’ve already got one, there’s always a great place to have another. Maybe they’ll set it up on their desk at work or keep it on the side table next to their favorite chair. Either way, this RAVPower Qi charger can handle fast-charging, and can even be used with older phones with Qi covers.

4. The best e-reader for book lovers
We’ve tested every one of Amazon’s Kindles a few times, and each time, the Paperwhite comes out on top. It offers the perfect blend of features, functionality, and affordability, especially when it’s on sale. We love the clean white pages that can be adjusted to suit reading in daylight or in bed, and if your recipient has Amazon Prime, they can take advantage of the Kindle Lending Library to read thousands of books for free.

5. The best affordable bagless vacuum
If you know someone who’d love to get a new vacuum on Christmas morning, look no further than this Bissell. It’s the best affordable bagless vacuum we’ve ever tested, and it won our 2017 Best of Year award. Not only is there no hassle of emptying and cleaning out bags, but it’s one of the quietest and lightest bagless vacuum you can find.

6. A new Xbox with a free game
What’s better than getting a new gaming console? If you’re not into video games, probably a lot. But if you are, it’s the ultimate gift. Right now, Amazon’s offering a 500GB Xbox One S console with a few extra bells and whistles for nearly a third off the original price. Your loved one will be able to start racing right away with the included Forza Horizon 3 game download and the Hot Wheels expansion. They’ll even get a one-month Xbox Game Pass and a week trial of Xbox Live Gold. The Xbox doubles as a Blu-ray player, and even works with 4K TVs!
