At a lot of merchants, today is one of the last days to place orders that will arrive for Christmas — so don’t dillydally if you still need to cross some folks off your holiday shopping list. Fortunately, there’s lots of things on sale that’ll make good gifts (and I’ve rounded up even more of them here). But below, I’ve got a drum set for toddlers, a travel-size trio of Supergoop sunscreens, and a Kindle for doodlers. Plus, if you still need a look for New Year’s Eve, Reformation is having an extremely rare sale-on-sale.

From $11

This two-by-three-foot floor puzzle will delight your preschooler. And if dinosaurs aren’t their jam, there are a few more designs (for a few dollars more), including a fairy-tale castle and a construction site.

Strategist writer Lauren Ro says this teeny drum set is a hit with her 1-year-old and 4-year-old. There are different presets and built-in activities you can do, and “the best part about it is that it’s quite compact — just 12 inches across — and very easy to put away,” she says.

If you don’t have centralized heating, here’s an inexpensive addition to keep your holiday guests toasty.

And a deeply discounted Dyson vacuum to clean up before (and after) their arrival.

For the sibling who loves to annotate their books, our best Kindle for notetakers is on sale. Our tech writer says the Kindle Scribe allows him to “drop a sticky note with handwritten text” right over any paragraph or sentence.

Yes, you still need to wear sunscreen during winter — and you can’t go wrong with this dermatologist-favorite sunscreen from Supergoop. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t clog pores, and leaves no white cast.

Tuck this travel-size set into your pickleball-loving mom’s stocking.

A nice gift for the dog parent who just moved into their new place.

Reformation’s sale just got even better, because all on-sale items are an additional 15 percent off with the code EXTRA15. This half-zip sweatshirt is nearly half-off and would make an excellent present for the polished older sister.

Pair this velvet top with your favorite pair of jeans for a simple but nice-looking New Year’s Eve outfit.

From $178

It’s rare to find Reformation pants for under $100, so don’t dillydally on these.
