Although it may seem like you have time, with the shipping delays brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, many people started their holiday shopping early this year and some of the most popular gifts are already sold out at some retailers. Plus, some of these hot products will ship after Christmas, which isn’t helping anyone.But the product experts at Reviewed are here to help. We’ve narrowed down some of the top 10 most sought-after and sold-out gifts this year and found the retailers where a trickle of the inventory still remains—and will ship before Christmas. We also suggest trying out curbside pickup at select retailers, if you’re really in a pinch. From the iconic Revlon hair dryer brush to the ever-popular Apple AirPods, here’s where you can still get this year’s most popular gifts.Need help finding products? Sign up for our weekly newsletter.

They earned our pick as the best truly wireless earphones because Apple somehow managed to make the already amazing AirPods even better. They’ve been fitted with better sound, have incredible noise cancellation and are finally water-resistant. They’ve been coming in and out of stock for the past few weeks, so if you want to get them, we suggest ordering them from Amazon ASAP. The same goes for the original AirPods, which we still think are a great, more affordable option.2. Echo Dot (3rd Gen) The Echo Dot (3rd Gen) went on super-sale during Black Friday, meaning the inventory on these entry-level smart speakers is very limited at Amazon and will definitely arrive after Christmas if you order from there. We still think it’s a great choice, especially if you don’t like the orb appearance of the 4th-generation Dot and want something even cheaper. You can still get it at Best Buy on time for the low price of $25.Get the Echo Dot (3rd Gen) at Best Buy for $24.993. Barefoot Dreams Throw BlanketThis year, everyone is obsessed with the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw Blanket—even Chrissy Teigen and The Kardashians. We even got the chance to snuggle up with it and found that it’s as soft and cozy as everyone says it is. Because of this, it’s impossible to find right now, but you’ll see select colors filter in and out of Nordstrom. That means you should check back often and add to cart ASAP as soon as you find the one you’re looking for.4. Kindle PaperwhiteAny avid reader (or anyone who wants to get into reading) will appreciate the Kindle Paperwhite. It’s the best e-reader we’ve ever tested for its superior e-ink screen and that it offers a seemingly unlimited library at your fingertips. Plus, it’s waterproof. It might arrive after Christmas if you order it from Amazon, which is why we recommend ordering it from Target instead.Get the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite at Target for $99.995. Revlon One Step Hair DryerWith more than 100,000 reviews on Amazon, the Revlon One Step Hair Dry and Volumizer might be the most popular product of 2020—and pretty much anyone who dries their hair wants it. It only costs $45, but after testing it, we found that it turned our tester’s wavy curly hair pin straight in less than 30 minutes. It’s that good. While it’s not technically sold out on Amazon, it will arrive after Christmas. But you can still find it ready to ship at Target.Get the Revlon One Step Hair Dry and Volumizer at Target for $45.596. Dyson Hot + CoolBetween wildfires and trying to make our homes more comfortable, air purifiers have been hotter than ever this year—specifically the Dyson Hot + Cool Cryptomic. Not only is it our favorite upgraded air purifier, but it also functions as a space heater and a fan, meaning your giftee will get a ton of use out of it. Plus, it’s probably the prettiest air purifier on the market. It’s been sold out at Dyson, but you can still find a similar model at Best Buy.Get the Dyson HP04 Pure Hot + Cool at Best Buy for $549.997. Sugarfina CandySugarfina candy is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it’s also super popular because it tastes like your favorite drinks (hello, bourbon, rosé, and champagne!) without the bubbles. The most popular candies are now sold out at Nordstrom, but you can find them at Bloomingdale’s right now.8. Staub Dutch OvenBread making was one of the hottest activities in quarantine, and to make an excellent loaf you need a Dutch oven. Plus, you can make the best roasts and stews in one, too. After testing the best Dutch ovens on the market, we found that the Staub 5.5-Quart Round Cocotte outperformed the coveted Le Creuset one. We were shocked, too. The Staub is hard to find right now—especially in the color you want—but it’s still available in a few different hues at Williams Sonoma.Get the Staub 5.5-Quart Round Cocotte at Williams Sonoma for $279.959. Canada Goose JacketAlbeit pricey, Canda Goose jackets are extremely warm and completely worth the money. Many people who live in cold climates are already snatching them up, making them extremely hard to find in some colors and sizes at retailers like Nordstrom. You can find the most color and size options in the Rosemont Arctic Tech Coat at Nordstrom and the Shelburne Down Parka at Bloomingdale’s10. Nintendo SwitchGaming consoles are always hard to find close to the holidays, especially if you’re looking for the Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5, which are both nearly impossible to find in stores. But you can still get your favorite gamer a Nintendo Switch and give them some new entertainment this winter, though you have to look in the right places as it’s hard to find at Amazon and Best Buy. But you can still ship it in time for Christmas if you shop at Target.Get the Nintendo Switch at Target for $299.99Get expert shopping advice delivered to your phone.
