Apple iPad (10th Generation)

This 10th-generation iPad isn’t the newest and most exciting of the lineup, but for $300 you’ll get a capable, durable machine for playing or working on with a large 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. It’s also one of the only ones available in actually fun colors like pink and yellow.

JBL Go 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

JBL speakers are popular and this mini Go 3 is one of our stocking stuffer recommendations for its price, sound quality, and portability. It’s also waterproof, so pool parties (or winter night hot tub soaks) can still have a soundtrack.

Amazon Echo Dot

Amazon’s Echo Dot voice assistant is one of our favorite affordable smart home items. It offers the ease of controlling other smart devices, listening to music, and asking questions all with just your voice and there’s no camera attached the way there is in smart displays. The cute kid version with parental controls is also on sale.

Travel smart and pack more with these Bagsmart Compression Packing Cubes. This six-piece set is perfect for organizing while saving luggage space with a clever extra zipper that compresses your items. The lightweight fabric won’t add bulk to your bag, making it a must-have for frequent travelers or those planning long trips.

Alpha Grillers Instant Read Meat Thermometer

For years, I ate dry chicken because I was scared of undercooking it. Finally, I bought a meat thermometer and now all my meals are delicious. Every kitchen needs one and the Alpha Grillers model is compact, easy to read, and has a temperature chart printed directly on it so you never have to Google safe cooking temperatures again.

Turn any gathering into a fondue party with the Nostalgia electric fondue pot set, a standout shared in our guide to useful gifts for people who love to cook. You can adjust the temperature and enjoy everything from gooey chocolate desserts to savory cheese dips—an entertaining essential for holiday hosting.

Our Place 4-Piece Cookware Set

Our Place cookware is a gorgeous addition to any aesthetically-minded chef’s kitchen. But the brand is pricey, so it’s best to take advantage of sales events like Black Friday to get ahold of a pan or two. If you can, grab this four-piece set which includes the Always Pan 2.0, Mini Always Pan 2.0, Perfect Pot, and Mini Perfect Pot 2.0, plus a steamer basket, two Beachwood spatulas, and two spoons.

GoPure Tighten & Lift Neck Cream

GoPure makes several great skincare products all discounted right now, but its Tighten & Lift Neck Cream is a fan favorite. With a blend of hydrating and tightening ingredients like cupuacu butter, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, and caffeine, it promises fewer lines in a month, with even more dramatic results by week eight. This price is for a one-time purchase, but you can get an even bigger discount if you set up a subscription.

GoPure Power Trio Serum Set

Another from GoPure, this trio lets you try three of its serums at nearly half price. The Dramatically Dewy Serum is packed with hyaluronic acid to hydrate skin; the vitamin C Brighten & Even Serum reduces dark spots and hyperpigmentation; and the Firm & Lift Serum uses retinol and bakuchiol to reduce fine lines and texture.

Flewd Bath Soaks Holiday Bundle

Flewd’s bath soaks are packed with magnesium, promising to soothe muscles, relieve stress, and give you better sleep — we could all probably use that this time of year. The company says the magnesium used is smaller than what you’d find in a typical bag of Epsom salts, so it absorbs better for maximum power. This holiday bundle comes with 12 bags, or you can purchase one, three, or four at a time.

Everlane The Renew Transit Fanny Pack

Fanny packs are back, and the Renew Transit Fanny Pack from Everlane is proof they’re better than ever. Highlighted in our list of favorite fanny packs, its minimalist design pairs effortlessly with any outfit. This stylish, functional accessory is perfect for hands-free errands, travel, or everyday wear.

Bombas Sunday Slipper

Treat your feet (or someone else’s) to the most supportive slippers, the Bombas Sunday Slippers. These ultra-soft slippers boast maximum fluff with plush Sherpa inside and out for unparalleled comfort. Designed with a slightly raised back heel for a secure, stay-on fit, they’re easy to slip on but so comfy you won’t want to take them off.
