For many of us, this holiday means seeing loved ones we may not have seen in a while and spending long-awaited quality time with the people close to us. But since the stakes are higher, so is the stress. In such unpredictable times, however, you can count on one thing: Delivery could take forever.
With global delivery delays slowing down every element of production and transport of products, the past months have made slower delivery speeds almost guaranteed. With delays adding a sting to the already high-pressure holiday shopping season, you might be tempted to just put it off one more week.
That’s why it’s more important than ever to start your shopping early. This year, even Black Friday might be too late if you want to get your home and gifts ready for the holiday season without having to scramble at the last minute.
Not to worry! The Amazon Pay Holiday Guide is coming to the rescue. Launching on 8 November, our annual series brings together more than 100 merchants across four shopping categories, two pop-up shops, and a fantastic selection of gift lists.
Bring the joy back to holiday shopping by removing every potential obstacle from the equation. With our selection of merchants, you can easily find the best products for all your needs this season — from winter essentials to Secret Santa ideas from brands you already love, as well as small merchants waiting for you to discover and support.
Winter essentials
As you prepare for the upcoming winter season, you’ll need to stock up on winter essentials to get you through the cold months ahead. The Amazon Pay Holiday Guide will help you find everything you need to keep cosy inside or explore the great outdoors with the perfect gear.

Shop small
The holiday season is also the ideal time to help small businesses by shopping small. But don’t sacrifice quality or convenience — find a selection of ideas to make sure you shop small and gift big.
Let the Amazon Pay Holiday Guide introduce you to merchants that make unique gifts for every person on your list. To make the tiny tots even cuter, gift them a minimalist set from My Little Monkey.

We can’t guarantee your little one will stay still for photos, but we can guarantee they’ll look precious in all your holiday photos.
Get your own glow for the upcoming influx of photo ops by stepping up your skin-care routine. Swap out your old skin care for the natural, effective products from Crush N Mix. Formulated without all the filler ingredients and toxins found in traditional products, their handmade, ethically produced skin solutions slow down the ageing process.
