Is it just Us or does the month of December just breeze by? It feels like just yesterday we were enjoying turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie — and getting our Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping on.

No matter how hard we try, there are always a few last-minute gifts we need to buy before the holidays arrive. Since we can’t exactly rely on Santa to bring our gifts down the chimney for us, that means there’s limited time left to scoop up gifts for our loved ones.

We do most of our shopping online so that also means there’s only a bit of time left to ensure gifts are delivered before it’s time to unwrap them. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with all the shipping deadlines to make sure you have enough time to expertly wrap all of your presents.

It also happens to be Free Shipping Day, too! Countless retailers are participating in the annual tradition by waiving shipping fees or lowering the minimum required to ship items for free for 24 hours. So be sure to take advantage of this deal for orders placed on Dec. 14. There are also plenty of sales going on, too!

Plus, if you need some extra help finding the perfect gift for that special someone, we included a few options to make the last-minute gift search easier. Warning: some of these gifts make perfect treat yourself presents, too!

Happy shopping!
