Last-Minute Shipping
Have you been so busy that you barely can comprehend the fact that the Christmas countdown has reached crisis level? Apple understands the last-minute shopping panic that can plague anyone, and has you covered: on December 23rd, the company is gifting people with free overnight shipping. That means even the tardiest of shoppers can have beautifully wrapped Apple items under the tree in time for Santa. And for those who are doomed to end up on the mall on Christmas Eve, there's always free in-store pick-up.
Apple Watch
It was one of the hottest and most in-demand tech products of the year (and helped revive waning interest in timepieces for a whole generation), but some put off purchasing this pricey item. Now you can gift it to your loved ones with this sweet deal.

This subscription service is Apple's newest attempt to change the music industry via streaming; it's also a fantastic gift for any music lover (and way cooler than a gift card). Members get full access to the exhaustive iTunes library, unlimited skips on all their Apple devices, and even personally curated music recommendations.
Beats By Dre
These headphones are hard to beat, and unfortunately pretty pricey most of the time. But Amazon has marked them down by a whopping $80 for the holiday season; if you have Prime shipping, the presents under the tree just might be music to your loved ones' ears.

Considered one of the best (if not the best) on the market, these headphones will allow the world-weary traveler to listen to their favorite tunes or just block out the noise and get some much-needed sleep.
