It's holiday crunch time people. If you're still gift shopping, you better get on it. We're inching closer and closer to still being able to order something online and have it arrive before Christmas Eve—unless you want to be stuck fighting people in-stores. Thankfully, there's still some time and Amazon has some Amazing deals on products that make great gifts, too. As part of their 12 Days of Deals, today's theme is "kitchen," so we found plenty of products that are perfect for the home chef as well as some tech and home deals.

A KitchenAid stand mixer is probably one of the best gadgets you can put on your counter. They're gorgeous and are the best stand mixers for all of your baking needs. So when we find a sale on one, we naturally flip out. Right now, you can get an Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer with a spiralizer attachment in Aqua Sky, Contour Silver, and Empire Red for just $250, which is $30 cheaper than getting the mixer alone.

Plus, the five-blade spiralizer is one of our favorite KitchenAid attachments because it makes amazing zoodles as well as peel, core, and slice all your fruits and veggies.

Give the gift of quick cooking.

Whether your loved one loves cooking or hates cooking, you should get them an Instant Pot. It makes cooking a breeze for those of us who are short on time and allows the home chef to try some new recipes. People love this thing because it's a pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker, and more, and right now you can get the 3-quart Instant Pot Ultra for its lowest price ever. It's the perfect size for someone cooking for one and has extra features like altitude adjustment, cooking indicator, and a steam release reset button.

If that's too small for you, the 8-quart Instant Pot Duo is also on sale for $100, which is the perfect size for families and big batches of food.

4. A classic Keurig for the coffee lover

A Keurig is perfect for anyone who wants a quick cup of joe or seriously don't know how to brew a pot of coffee (guilty is charged). It may not be the best tasting cup of coffee, but it gets the job done early in the morning. The Keurig K55 is one of the best pod coffee makers we've ever tested because it's simple to use, has a large water reservoir, and is relatively inexpensive. Right now you can get it for its lowest price on Amazon. You can also get it with a bundle of 40 coffee pods for just $10 more.

5. The best affordable pillows we've ever tested

Sweet dreams.
Sweet dreams.

Those pillows you've had since college are probably disgusting. They're one of those items that you never think about washing, meaning they're loaded with filth, dirt, grime, and drool. Gross. If you're looking for a replacement without having to spend too much, you might want to check out these ones from Sleep Restoration. Not only are they the best affordable pillows we've ever tested, but they're also down to the one of the lowest price we've ever seen. Warning: they will ship after Christmas, but we still think it's worth it for this great price.

Get the Sleep Restoration Bed Pillow 2-Pack for $30.99 (Save $4)
