Now that we’re officially in the second half of December, time is running out to check everyone off of your holiday shopping list. Since there are only a handful of days left to find the perfect gifts and ensure they arrive in time, I’m turning to Amazon to take care of my last-minute shopping, and I’m not alone. Model and influencer Olivia Culpo recently chatted with Byrdie about the gifts she’s buying from the mega-retailer, as well as the beauty and home essentials she would recommend to those who are stumped on what to gift this year—starting at just $13.
“I feel like everybody could use a gift card to Amazon so that you really can shop everything,” Culpo told me. “It also has specific lists that could help point you in the right direction for someone that is picky, like the top 100 gifts, hosting must-haves, and the most-loved gifts—I find those to be really helpful.”
Not only is it easy to find everything you need, but thanks to the fast shipping options (including one-day and same-day delivery for Prime members), you can skip the stress and enjoy the holiday parties, sweet treats, and family time in peace.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Any good gift guide in 2024 should include the ultimate crowd-pleasing stocking stuffer: the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. Not only is this deeply nourishing lip balm a TikTok-viral mainstay, but it has the stamp of approval from beauty editors and celebrities like Bella Hadid, Charli XCX, and Sydney Sweeney. It’s no surprise that Culpo is a fan, as well, citing it as one of the products she always has in her bag. “[It’s] such a good winter must-have, because we’re all a little drier.”
Ugg Classic Mini II Boots
As for a gift that will work for anyone on your list, “you can’t go wrong with Uggs,” Culpo told Byrdie. “Uggs are just such a good universal gift.” The Classic Mini II Boots are a timeless style available in a range of gorgeous colors, from neutral sand to sky blue. Culpo also recommends Ugg’s cozy slippers, such as this trendy platform style.
Hey Dewy Wellness Humidifier
$100 at Amazon
“A beauty hack that people don’t always think of for this time of year is just a simple humidifier,” said Culpo. “It really does make such a difference in your quality of sleep and your skin with your room not being so dry.” On sale for less than $100, the Hey Dewy Wellness Humidifier is an affordable, easy-to-clean option in a minimalistic design and convenient small size. It’s a great option for a skincare enthusiast, or just someone who wants to make their living space more comfortable during the dry winter months.
CosRx Snail Mucin 96% Power Face Serum
$20 at Amazon
Culpo named this best-selling snail mucin serum as one of the unsexy (but effective) beauty products in her rotation. This Amazon beauty favorite, which Emily Ratajkowski has also used, delivers that coveted glass skin effect for just $20. With more than 60,000 five-star shopper ratings, you’ll earn major points with your skincare-obsessed bestie by gifting this dewy serum.
Slip Contour Silk Sleep Mask
Give the gift of beauty sleep (literally) with this luxe silk sleep mask Culpo relies on during long travel days. “I’m kind of picky—I only like the Slip silk sleep masks,” she said. “They’re just the best. The ones with the eye craters, so you don’t have to wake up with really flat eyelashes.” This is the perfect gift for the jetsetter in your life—or just someone who takes their lash game very seriously.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
$18 at Amazon
One of Culpo’s go-tos, the iconic Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz pencil is another reliable beauty stocking stuffer and you can snag it for less than $20 on Amazon if you add it to your cart ASAP. “I’m always an Anastasia girl,” the model told Byrdie. “She’s just the queen of brows in my book.”
Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Overnight Mask
“During this time of year, I find myself using a lot more overnight masks,” Culpo shared. One of her recommendations, the Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Overnight Mask, has been bought by a staggering 50,000 Amazon shoppers in the past month. It supports collagen production and improves skin elasticity for a plump, youthful complexion. Plus, it’s super budget-friendly at just $19.
Vintage Glass Coffee Mugs Set
The Miss Universe winner also had tons of amazing gift ideas for the home, including this value set of six glass coffee mugs with bamboo tops and spoons. Culpo prefers to use these elegant mugs to make overnight oats, but they can also be used for coffee, tea, smoothies, and more. In other words, they’d be a chic, functional addition to any kitchen cabinet.
Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer
$300 at Amazon
Culpo recently treated herself to the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer during Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale, and now she’s planning to gift one to her sister for the holidays. On sale for 25% off, this multi-use convection oven doubles as an air fryer and has tons of additional functions like bake, broil, and roast, so your kitchen-savvy loved one can try all of the recipes they’ve been bookmarking on Instagram. And you don’t just have to take Culpo’s word for it—this versatile appliance has more than 9000 five-star ratings.
Keenray Towel Warmer
Finally, if you’re in search of a gift for the recipient who already has everything, Culpo has a brilliant, unconventional suggestion—a towel warmer. “You don’t know that you would want [a towel warmer] and then you get it and you’re like, ‘Wow, this is so nice to have in the winter,’” she explained. “It’s so cozy.”
