Amazon has been *hot* with all the awesome deals on Christmas gifts but you’ll want to make sure that you don’t end up with extra shipping charges by waiting till the last minute. We’ve got the rundown on all the shipping deadlines from Amazon.com.
Amazon Shipping Deadlines:

Amazon Gift Cards – You can print these anytime or email them to the recipient for a last-minute or forgotten gift.
*These shipping deadlines are based on items that are sold directly from Amazon or fulfilled by Amazon, but I would always confirm on your order what the shipping date will be before your submit your order, so you don’t run into any surprises and have to get a last-minute gift to cover for your gift not arriving on time.
