Calling All Procrastinators: These Are the 28 Best Birthday Gifts on Amazon

I have a confession: I buy almost all of my last-minute birthday gifts on Amazon. And when shipping times range from mere hours to overnight on average, why wouldn't I? As you know, long gone are the days when Amazon's inventory consisted of just books and CDs. Now we can find anything our hearts desire from a wide range of categories, and that includes birthday gifts for everyone in our lives.
I don't know about you, but I've been shopping for one birthday gift after another lately and am always searching for gift guides that aren't holiday-centric. So I made one myself, and everything on it is from Amazon. From travel accessories to beauty products to home items and everything in between, I think you'll find something that'll please your intended recipient (or you'll find a slew of things for your own Amazon cart like I did—oops). So without further ado, keep scrolling for my carefully curated Amazon birthday gift guide.
