If you weren't aware, today is one of the last days to order from retailers that have standard shipping. If you're still searching for the perfect gift for someone on your list, you're truly running out of time if you don't want to A) pay way too much for expedited delivery and hope for the best or B) rely on Amazon Prime (if you're a Prime Member) to get your package delivered on time.
But there are a couple retailers that can get you your gift before the holiday, and we've rounded up some of the best things you can get shipped out to you ASAP, without breaking the bank on shipping costs.
Give the gift of a warm winter with something that the giftee will use to stave off the cold. With Uniqlo's free shipping, you'll be able to get anything they have in time if you order by today. I recommend one of their new, on-trend fleeces or their very affordable cashmere sweaters.
Know a wine drinker that only has a crappy twist corkscrew? Blow their mind and get them a fancy Le Creuset corkscrew that uses the simplest of machines (a lever) to easily open a bottle.
