You did your best! You bought your dad the immersion circulator he's been coveting and your mom the chic cutting board made of post-consumer material she's been not-so-subtly hinting about and your brother the fancy Japanese knife that'll make him feel like he's on an episode of whatever the cooking Netflix special du jour is. And...oh no! You forgot that your family—despite the fact that the children are all adults who do not have children of their own yet—still stuffs stockings for one another, inexplicably! If you need last minute stocking stuffers, or are just looking for a few small last-minute gifts for the people you forgot on your list, like your step-cousin's fiancé or whatever, here are some things you can order express from Father Christmas Jeff Bezos himself, and have delivered to your door in the next 48 hours, in plenty of time for Christmas and Hanukkah. You're welcome!

Japanese Butter Knife

This butter knife is pure genius: its sharp, scalloped and perforated edges can shave your cold fridge butter into thin, quick-to-melt ribbons ready for a piece of bread, or toast, or pancakes. For people who don’t keep a butter crock out on the counter, it’s a lifesaver.
