Amazon trucks are common sights on U.S. roads throughout the year, but even more so during the holidays. It seems Santa has traded in his reindeer and sleigh for thousands upon thousands of these bluish-gray vans with the arrow-shaped smile. While it would be impossible to list every single thing occupying space inside these delivery trucks, we do know some of the most popular gifts on Amazon this year. (Online shopping is expected to reach $221.8 billion this holiday season. Check out the full story here.)
24/7 Wall St. consulted Amazon’s “Most Gifted” page to compile this list of the 31 most popular gifts on Amazon. The online retailer lists 36 different gift categories on this page. The “Digital Educational Resources” category contained no gifts at the time of publication. Three of the gifts listed below occupied the top spot in multiple categories. Amazon’s “Most Gifted” page is updated daily.
The gifts on this list range from around $5 to $225, with many costing around $20 to $30. There will almost certainly be some items on this list that can help you finish your last-minute shopping, whatever your budget.
