Done shopping? Or did you just remember a friend or neighbor who deserves a thoughtful gift this holiday season?

Whatever your holiday shopping situation, Amazon’s “12 Days of Deals” can help you find something for everyone. Among today’s top deals are gifts for golfers, pet owners, crafters, cooks and musicians.

Plus, everything we’ve highlighted here gets at least four stars from reviewers, and many items are 50 percent off or more. Be sure to compare prices with other sites on the web, though, so you know you’re getting the best bargain.

Don’t forget, if you’re not getting cash back every time you shop online, you’re leaving money on the table. A cash-back site like Ebates makes it easy. Just provide an email address, and you can get up to 40 percent cash back for shopping at more than 2,500 retailers. Learn more here.
