Christmas is less than one week away, which means if you still haven't started shopping for gifts, you need to get on it and fast. Many retailers' Christmas shipping deadlines have passed, but there are still some brands that can get gifts to you or your giftees home before Christmas. With that said, we rounded up the best stocking stuffers that you can get online, last minute. All of the products listed below will arrive before Christmas (input your zipcode before purchase to confirm), will fit in stockings and make for memorable gifts for your loved ones.

If you're still unsure of what to get someone for Christmas, make a safe bet and get them a gift card. Amazon is one of the best gift cards to get someone because the site truly has everything.

What we really like about Amazon's gift cards is that even though it is a digital retailer, they still offer physical gift cards packaged in fun and seasonal holiday tins. What's more, the tin is free with purchase and the gift card will never expire.

Gone are the days of having to carry your phone in hand to listen to music on the go. The JBL Clip 3 is a hands-free, Bluetooth listening device that can conveniently be attached to your bag, backpack, belt loop and more. It can handle 10 hours of play time in one charge and is very waterproof (the brand says it can survive after being immersed in water). It also comes in fun colors and patterns, including camouflage, red, pink, green and more.

The JBL Clip 3 boasts a 4.7-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer said it has "great sounds for a small speaker," adding "We bring this out with us anytime we go paddle boarding. It has great sound quality and the bluetooth distance is great. Waterproof quality is great, have not had any issues after two years of use with it."

The JBL Clip 3 is currently on sale for 20% off, reduced to $40 from the original price of $50.

The Apple Watch Series 9 is the latest addition to the Apple Watch lineup, excluding the recently launched Apple Watch Ultra 2. It's subject to ban on Dec. 25, 2023, meaning you won't be able to buy a new Apple Watch 9 after Christmas. (All the features of the watch will still work just fine after.)

This smartwatch offers a wide range of features to support virtually every aspect of your daily life. Packed with advanced functionalities such as heart monitoring, crash detection, and many more, it comes in a sleek and compact design that makes it a worthwhile upgrade from the previous model. 

Moreover, it boasts impressive health-tracking capabilities, including electrical heart sensors for ECG, blood oxygen sensing, and a body temperature sensor. Women can also utilize the smartwatch to track their menstrual cycles. 

It seamlessly integrates with your new iPhone, enabling you to make calls, send texts, access your favorite apps, and much more.

Right now, you can get the Apple Watch Series 9 starting at $329 for the 41mm size at Walmart and Amazon.

The larger 45mm Apple Watch 9 is available starting at $359 at Amazon and Walmart. It's a good choice for those with larger wrists.
