Questions people ask before they buy
What is a good Christmas gift for son under $50?
Dash Mini Waffle Maker, Exploding Kittens, Carhartt Knit Cuffed Beanie are the under-$50 picks on this list, in price order.
What do you get son who already has everything?
If money is no object, Nintendo Switch 2: The new Switch. Bigger screen, plays the old games, and the one box under the tree that ends the discussion. It is the most expensive pick on this list at $499, which usually means it is the one nobody has bought for themselves.
When is the last day to order for Christmas?
Standard shipping cutoffs for Christmas delivery usually fall around December 18. Prime-eligible items on this list generally arrive within two days, so the realistic last call is December 21; order earlier for anything shipped by a small merchant.
