Our very own holiday-shopping doyenne, Gifting Editor Amanda Garrity, has plenty of great suggestions, including this fun option, which is down to its all-time lowest price.
She says, “A bunch of Lego’s holiday releases are long gone … but this zero-maintenance stunner is still in stock. Their creativity will blossom as they turn 608 pieces into this realistic-looking poinsettia, complete with posable foliage and a woven basket base. It’s best suited for ages 18 and up, but younger builders can give it a whirl (with some backup, of course).”

Garrity says, “The next time your globe-trotter hits the skies, they can plug this Bluetooth adapter into the airplane seat’s audio jack to pair their AirPods (or any wireless headphones) with ease — and they can sync up their seatmate’s earbuds. Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida called it a ‘genius gadget’ in his review, writing that it ‘worked flawlessly, pairing easily with my AirPods Pro and remembering that connection from one session to the next.'”
It’s on rare sale for its lowest price all year, so grab one for yourself while you’re at it.

These No. 1 bestsellers are like socks for your faucets, acting as insulators to help prevent your pipes from freezing — every homeowner’s nightmare. This is as low as we’ve ever seen this pair on sale for, and, unsurprisingly, over 20,000 were purchased in the past month.

Best Amazon kitchen deals
Our home editor, Jessica Dodell-Feder, named this the best Keurig coffee maker out of all of the models she tested, calling it “a reliable Keurig that delivers everything you’d want from a single-cup coffee maker and more.”
She adds, “It makes four cup sizes (8, 10 and 12 ounces, and a 2-ounce shot), the buttons are clear and intuitive and it offers an ‘over ice’ option that automatically adjusts brew temperature for less-watery iced coffee. Plus, it comes with a bonus for anyone who likes lattes, cappuccinos and other espresso-style drinks: an excellent standalone milk frother.”
It’s only dipped lower than its current price by a few dollars, and doesn’t often go on sale, so you’ll want to grab it while it’s nearly 30% off.

We’re in the thick of holiday baking season, and at 4.5 quarts, this top-seller can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time (though it won’t take up much room in your kitchen). It’ll give your arms a break by doing all of the mixing, and you can let it run while you prep other ingredients.
This is the brand I (Britt) use in my own home kitchen, and it comes with a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun.
This is as low as it’s been since April, so scoop it up while you can save $80!

When Oprah says she likes something, we know it’s gonna be good — so it’s no surprise that this No. 1 bestselling jacket (aka “The Amazon Coat”) has acquired a massive fan base.
It graced the media queen’s Favorite Things list in 2019 and features a fleece-lined hood, cozy down filling and about a zillion pockets for storing small essentials. It’s also much more chic than many puffer coats, and at over 40% off, it’s within a few bucks of its best price in years.
(FYI, select colors and sizes might arrive after Christmas.)
Raise your hand if you love waiting at baggage claim. Anybody? That’s what we thought — and that’s why we want to share this deal on a wildly popular 21-inch carry-on. Grab one before your next getaway.
More than 4,000 have been purchased in the past month alone, likely due to this suitcase’s ample pockets, expansive design and smooth 360-degree wheels. Snag it while it’s marked down by nearly 40%.
These sneakers are just what the doctor (or a suitably accredited medical professional) ordered. We’re talking about nurses, who routinely work extra long shifts and barely get to sit down. They love to brag about how Cloudfoams have saved their feet. You can walk … and walk and walk.
They’re also a favorite among restaurant servers who punish their feet all night long. They support your feet with memory foam cushioning, and when things get messy, their textile upper wipes clean easily, making them even more practical. And Adidas at a discount is always a good thing.
Just one of these brass beauties looks like it would cost more than this entire set, which recently would have set you back over $100. Included are a stunning round watch, chain bracelet, enameled bangle and crystal-laden bangle.
You can stack ’em or wear ’em individually — either way, you’ll be donning some next-level arm candy. The price just dropped to a new 2024 low (nearly 75% off).

Fast food crumbs taking over your ride? Fear not — it’s this super-strong handvac to the rescue, according to Dodell-Feder, who tested it out.
“Like many DeWalt tools, this cordless vacuum cleaner is reliable and powerful,” she says. “I was surprised at how easy it was to maneuver considering its exceptionally strong suction.”
When Dodell-Feder tested this vacuum, it was a pricey $179 — now, at 45% off, it’s down to just about its best price of the year. Oh, and you can snag batteries and a charger for nearly 60% off as well.

You’re not gonna need a bigger boat — er, shopping cart — for this Shark because it weighs less than 4 pounds. You’re getting a sleek stick vac and handheld in one, meaning it’s equally useful for zapping up dust from your floor as it is for cleaning furniture, stairs and even the interior of your car.
