If you are in need of a last-minute gift idea for a friend or loved one, Amazon is the go-to place. Here are five features that will help you out.
On any given day, Amazon is usually a reliable online shopping platform that offers a well-rounded catalog of products that cover a wide variety of categories. Pricing for most items are generally competitive and may even be cheaper compared to other retail websites. If you happen to have an Amazon Prime subscription, you can enjoy a slew of perks, including free two-day shipping, which could be crucial in a last-minute gift-shopping situation.
Amazon’s search function is usually all you’ll need to find whatever item you may be looking for — just type in a few keywords, and you’ll immediately be fed relevant results. If you prefer, you can also browse through the platform’s many built-in lists and categories in case you’re purchasing something specific. However, if you’re on a mission to shop for a specific occasion or someone in particular and are having trouble coming up with potential prospects for presents, you can explore the app’s many features designed to give you the best shopping suggestions and deals. Below are a few of Amazon’s product recommendation features that you should try using ASAP, especially now that the end-of-the-year holiday season is fast approaching.Take advantage of the Amazon Gift Finder
When you visit Amazon’s Gift Finder while logged into your account, you should see recommendations on this page that are primarily based on previous browsing activity, giving priority to items that are currently discounted or available as a limited time deal. If you’re a Prime member, you can fine-tune suggestions even further by choosing your preferred delivery option, which may include same-day or overnight. You can also enable the Deals filter to only show you items that are on sale, or pick one of the price range filters to isolate things that are within your specific budget.
The Gift Finder page — which may also appear as Gift Shop — also lets you shop according to occasion, gift recipient, or interest. So whether you’re shopping for a baby shower or wedding present, are buying something for a teen or a significant other, or are purchasing a gift for a book or plant-loving acquaintance, Amazon’s Gift page should provide you with enough options to choose from.The Holiday Shop
Similar to Amazon’s general gift finder, Amazon’s The Holiday Shop features suggestions and deals based on what Amazon customers usually shop for during the holiday season. It typically covers huge shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday all the way up to Christmas.
