The holidays are full of surprises. Whether they come in the form of fun, festive bites (see our best holiday recipes of all time for some inspo), unexpected guests or last-minute family movie nights, 'tis the season to stay on your toes. But, IMO, there's no better surprise than a *huge* holiday sale, like the one happening at Amazon RN. Let's just say the retailer came to *sleigh* this season. Not only is it offering steep savings on editor-approved items (including the Dyson Airwrap), but it's filled to the brim with last-minute gifts that are guaranteed to arrive on time. So, if you still have a few people to check off your list before the big day, head to Amazon to shop and save big on products across all categories, from beauty to tech.

Don't know where to start? As usual, I scrolled through hundreds of pages to bring you 30 of the best deals you won't want to miss. Whether you're shopping for yourself or someone else, you'll want to snag must-haves like the Apple AirPods Pro 2 and Litfun suede mini boots (which are just as comfy and cute as Uggs). That said, I hope you're ready to channel your inner Kris Kringle.

I'd be surprised if you're not familiar with this hot-ticket item. It's racked up *billions* of views and counting on TikTok, which tells me it's still one of the best hair tools you can buy today. And it's all thanks to its innovative Coanda airflow technology, which effortlessly wraps your strands around the barrel without using extreme heat, so you can pull off salon-quality blowouts in less than 20 minutes. No, seriously, PureWow's former beauty director tested the viral hair tool herself and found it to be incredibly efficient when curling her hair, plus the results lasted longer compared to other hair tools. And since it comes with several attachments that can tackle many hair types and concerns, it's a fabulous buy for anyone hoping to banish frizz, amp up the volume or simply save time on styling.

I'm not ashamed to admit that my Apple AirPods go with me everywhere—to the grocery store, to the office, to the bathroom...you get the picture. So I don't doubt for a second that you'll love them as much as I do, especially now that they come with new features aimed at preserving hearing health, including a hearing aid mode. And while I speak from experience when I say that their high-quality sound and noise-cancellation mode can't be beat, here's why one Amazon reviewer is obsessed: "I have mild hearing loss, enough that I use hearing aids daily. I am on Zoom calls often and need to use earbuds. I had a hard time until I [had] these. They work as hearing aids...meaning they amplify Zoom calls to your needs." Yup, I told you they're good.

This new Kindle Paperwhite is the ultimate gift for bookworms. Not only is it designed to store all their books, but they can also highlight and save passages, look up definitions, translate words and adjust the text size to their liking. That said, this lightweight device will have them ditching paperback books in no time, especially once they find out that it's glare-free *and* waterproof. Even resident reader (and assistant commerce editor) Natalie LaBarbera thinks it's worth every penny: "I like that I can have hundreds of books at my fingers (which especially comes in handy on long travel days)...Plus, the battery life lasts so long, even when I'm constantly using it."

4. Our Place Wonder Oven 

Our Place

Whether you hate spending hours in the kitchen or just don't want to dirty a ton of pots and pans just to cook up a meal for one, meet your dream appliance. One PureWow editor put this 6-in-1 air fryer toaster oven to the test, and while she says that there's much to love about it, from its compact footprint to its adorable design, she was impressed mainly by the fact that it really can do it all. With six modes—air fry, bake, roast, toast, reheat and broil—it can go from roasting a 4.5-pound chicken to perfection to baking a small batch of delicious melt-in-your-mouth cookies. As if it couldn't get any better than that, it also has multilevel shelving that allows you to cook double the amount of food at one time. Honestly, you (or your giftee) may never turn on the big oven again.

Why should you treat yourself to this cordless vacuum that sucks up dust and pet hair like a pro? The real question is, why would you not? With two cleaning modes and four accessories that you can use to tidy up your floors, sofas and mattresses in one run, its versatility is seriously unmatched. It also boasts a powerful suction and filtration system that supposedly traps 99.9 percent of particles, while its Motorbar cleaner head is designed to instantly detangle pet hair. Now, what could be better than the gift of a cleaner home? I'll wait, but not for long because this Dyson vacuum rarely goes on sale.

An Apple Watch is guaranteed to impress anyone on your list with all its bells and whistles, which include sleep monitoring, exercise analysis and crash detection, a feature that one former PureWow editor called a literal "life-saver." In addition to being swim-proof (so rest assured your giftee can track their laps), you should know that the battery lasts up to 18 hours and allows users to send texts, take calls and use Apple Pay all from their wrist. TL;DR? This smart accessory is a great way to ensure your person stays connected and prepared for anything while they're out and about.

All I want for Christmas is the viral Bissell Little Green machine, which has helped thousands of buyers tackle everything from filthy sofas to crumb-filled carpets, making their upholstery look practically brand new. Even PureWow editors are obsessed with this portable wonder and consider it a must-have—especially if you have pets, kids or a particularly messy roommate to clean up after. And despite its lightweight and compact design, it holds 48 ounces of cleaning fluid at a time, so you can soak and suction everything from cat pee stains around the house to itty bits of food in the crevices of your car in one fell swoop. So, run, don't walk to score it on sale for under $85!

Packed with 1,000 watts of power, this compact and portable steamer heats up faster than you can say "wrinkles begone!" No, seriously, I'm talking in as little as 30 seconds. That said, I think you'll love its leakproof design since it means you can steam vertically *and* horizontally to your heart's content without worrying about water splashing on your clothes and bedding. And if you end up loving it so much you can't stand being without it on vacation? Kate Kesselman from PureWow's social team is happy to confirm that it folds up effortlessly to fit in luggage. Needless to say, that's what makes it a perfect gift for a jet-setter who wants to look put-together at all times.

To cut to the chase: These A lister-approved under-eye masks are infused with hyaluronic acid, glycerinamino acids and sea moss, all of which have proven benefits, from energizing and rejuvenating to seriously hydrating skin. But do they live up to the hype? According to PureWow Beauty & Cultures Editor Chelsea Candelario, who tested the viral product, they really do. "I feel more energized (like the name suggests), and the area looks brighter than ever. I appreciate how they reduce my dark circles and maintain moisture. I also love how Grace & Stella offers a variety of pack options to choose from, and honestly, the price is pretty reasonable," she shared in her review. So, if I were you, I'd stock up on this 48-pack.

Wanna streamline your morning routine in 2025? Then, you'll want to add this newest Echo device to your nightstand. Way more than just a zhuzhed-up alarm clock, the compact masterpiece displays the time and can wake you up *gently* in the AM. But that's not all. Thanks to Alexa compatibility, you can ask about the weather, control your home's other smart devices and even set personalized routines that kick into gear automatically each day. It also doubles as a speaker, so you can play your favorite songs and podcasts with crisp, vibrant sound. In other words, this device will be a game-changer for you in 2025.

Just slip one of these babies into your suitcase, purse or whatever else you're afraid to lose, and you'll have peace of mind knowing its last location with the help of Bluetooth technology. Yes, you read that right. If your important possession ever goes missing (say your luggage, your house keys or even your pet), these AirTags will help you locate it right from your phone. According to PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida, setting them up is super easy, so you can even gift this four-pack to someone who doesn't have a ton of tech knowledge.

This Icons Poinsettia building set has racked up millions of views on TikTok, and I can see why. Simply put, adults love putting it together as much as they love showing it off on their coffee table for the holiday season. But you don't have to just take my word for it. One reviewer raves, "Me and my girlfriend built this, and I got it so I could give her flowers that would never die, and I was surprised to see how much you could adjust the leaves and flowers...It’s not too big nor too small, so it’s just about the perfect size." BTW, this set contains 608 pieces, and once it's all built out, it clocks in at over 8 inches high, 8.5 inches wide and 6.5 inches deep, so you really can make it your centerpiece this Christmas.

For football fans, this ugly Christmas sweater might just be the most beautiful gift ever. There's a design for every NFL team, so you can cheer on everyone from the Green Bay Packers to the Kansas City Chiefs (ahem, the team that Taylor Swift's BF Travis Kelce plays for) in festive style. But is it comfy? Buyers swear the acrylic blend is warm and soft, so don't be surprised if you (or your sports-fanatic giftee) end up wearing it on repeat well after football season.

Did you know that Jennifer Aniston adds Vital Proteins collagen peptide powder to her morning coffees and smoothies to support her hair, skin, nails *and* joints? Well, if you didn't, now you do, and I can't think of a better time to stock up now that it's on sale. The flavorless powder is packed with protein and hydrolyzed collagen peptides, which can help make your skin look brighter and your hair feel stronger. Buyers also can't stop talking about how it has helped them get better sleep, so it's a win on all fronts.

When it comes to this viral serum made from, yes, snail mucin, buyers say the instant dewy and plumping effect it gives their skin is reason enough to stock up. "I'm not kidding. I had to touch my face to make sure it wasn't just sitting on my skin like a donut glaze. I was astonished by [my] dewy, glowing face in the mirror," one reviewer writes. If that doesn't convince you to spring for a couple of bottles for your friend group, maybe the fact that snail mucin has been shown to improve wrinkles, skin elasticity and dermal density will do the trick.

If you or someone on your list is traveling for the holidays, you should definitely consider scooping up this lightweight Samsonite carry-on for a discount. It meets most airline requirements to fit in the overhead and features a TSA lock to keep everything secured throughout your travels. Plus, it has a full-zip interior divider to help you stay organized, as well as 360-degree spinner wheels, which allow you to move quickly for that last boarding call. In other words, as one reviewer says, "This luggage is the bomb." Oh, and did I mention the 10-year warranty?

Style meets substance in this modern cookware set featuring all the pieces every home cook needs. Fashioned from granite for prime durability and nonstick cooking, the pieces clean up easily and cook evenly, per one reviewer who also raves that "being able to place the handle wherever you want makes pouring super easy!" This 11-piece bundle includes 8- and 10-inch frying pans, 2- and 3-quart saucepans and a 4-quart sauté pan as well as two fridge storage lids, two silicone lids and two removable handles to take the vessels straight from the oven to the dinner table. Yep, they're oven-safe, too, y'all!

Everyone you know owns a Fire TV stick and for good reason. This clever device lets you browse through Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and more with the touch of a button—or a voice command to Alexa (meaning you can skip the typing or scrolling to instantly pull up your favorite shows). Why else do you think it's accumulated more than 416,000 5-star reviews and received a stamp of approval from PureWow Associate Editor Sydney Mesiter for its impressively crisp picture, fast app launching and easy setup?

So you love Ugg's classic boot designs but not the brand's hefty prices. I feel you, and that's why I'm putting you on to Litfun, a cozy footwear brand that's a touch more affordable (and on sale!). Right now, I'm eyeing this particularly popular short suede style. They feature a super soft plush lining, so you can expect them to be just as warm, comfy and wonderful to walk in this winter. 

A holiday party just isn't a holiday party without pumping tunes, am I right? That's why you *must* snag this compact, portable (and waterproof!) speaker to get things turned up wherever you go. Despite its small size (weighing in at under a pound), the device packs quite the powerful punch when it comes to volume and sound quality, plus it won't die on you in the middle of the party—a single charge gives you up to *five* hours of playtime, per the brand! Oh, and since it's Bluetooth-enabled, anyone can control it from their phone, so you can sit back and relax while your friends take turns playing their favorite Christmas songs. Time to get the party started!

Charcuterie boards are nice to have on hand, especially during the holiday season when you've got hungry guests. This eco-friendly option is made from beautiful bamboo that's easy to clean, according to buyers. However, you'll be most impressed with the slide-out tray filled with four stainless steel cheese tools. It also comes with a wine opener, slate labels and markers, so you can pop open your favorite rosé and set up your new board with savory and sweet treats to perfection.

The Peloton experience is just as fun and motivating as a group cycling class but comes with the added benefit of being able to sweat your butt off in the comfort of your own home. Other perks include easy-to-use delta-compatible pedals, a resistance knob to push yourself, a two-channel and rear-facing stereo speaker system to blast your workout classes (of which there are thousands), a ten-point touchscreen to get in the zone with the help of famous instructors and a built-in microphone to actively participate in virtual classes. So, if you've got New Year's fitness resolutions (or are shopping for someone who does), look no further than this iconic bike!

It's about time you bought a Vitamix if you haven't already. Buyers and PureWow editors swear you won't regret it since it makes chopping and blending a breeze with ten variable speeds and durable stainless-steel blades. The 48-ounce container also comes in handy for tackling large batches of smoothies, soups and more. "[It's] one hell of an engine and easy to operate. I would buy again at this price tag," one Amazon reviewer adds. And lest I forget to mention the pulse feature, which will be of great assistance when you feel like making heartier recipes. Meanwhile, its powerful 2Hp motor helps the blades chop through tougher ingredients like whole carrots and nuts. Like I said, it's about time you scooped one up.

If the little one in your life is having a stuffed animal phase, adding this large plush toy to your cart should be a no-brainer. It's available in many cutesy designs—from a red frilled-neck lizard to a pink donut with sprinkles—all generously sized at 14 inches tall. Kids love bringing them on car rides and spreading them all over the bed, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to scoop up more than one. After all, they're really as squishable as they look.

You don't need to be a dental hygienist to swoon over this sleek cordless Waterpik. I love that it uses water pressure to painlessly remove plaque (up to 99.9 percent of it, per the brand) from hard-to-reach areas in my mouth (yes, I have one). So, if you hate flossing as much as I do, you may like this method better. Since it's battery-powered, it's also really easy to travel with (it even comes with a travel bag and tip case to store everything). Most importantly, though, the American Dental Association (ADA) gives it a thumbs up, so you know you'll be making your dentist proud after every cleaning. Need one more reason to smile? The fact that you can save some dough on it now should do it.

While you can't buy them a personal barista for Christmas, this satisfyingly slim Keurig is probably the next best thing. Just hear me out: The compact coffee maker can serve 6- to 12-ounce cups of Joe at lightning speed, so they don't have to wait for their hot brew in the morning—just put in a K-Cup pod of choice, choose the cup size and she'll start brewing straight into their mug like a pro. The machine also automatically shuts itself off 90 seconds after their last brew to help them save energy.

If your goal is to get organized in the New Year, it wouldn't be a bad idea to snag this BPA-free plastic container set now while it's on sale. It comes with 14 food storage vessels and covers that have a 4-hinge locking system, along with labels to keep them conveniently marked and organized. Spotting your go-to snacks and keeping the pantry tidy has never been easier!

One customer shares, "This was a great investment for me. I learned a lot about where my ancestors originated, and I learned a lot about what various diseases I am at risk of developing in the future." I think that's priceless, but I'll gladly take the *major* discount on the kit, which includes a premium membership to the service. Wondering how it works? It's actually quite simple. All you have to do is gather a saliva sample to send in for free testing and register your account online. In about five to six weeks, you'll be able to read up on everything they find out from your DNA. You'll even have the chance to connect with other relatives who’ve taken the test, which can be a fun thing for you and your family to do together this holiday season.

Reese Witherspoon featured this LED reading light in her gift guide last year, and it's a must for the reader in your life. Allow me to explain: Not only does it sit comfortably around the neck, but it also has *three* light colors and six brightness levels, so they can easily read in dimly lit places (finally!). Better yet, it has bendable arms for optimal versatility. "I tried this neck lamp for the first time and was super impressed. The lights are very bright, I love how I can change the warmth and it makes it so much easier to see what I'm working on!" one reviewer raves. "I also love how sturdy but comfortable it feels when it's on my neck." Don't forget to pick them up a new book to go with it!

Gift your favorite home cook something they'll get a ton of use out of, like this vegetable chopper that's incredibly satisfying to use, according to the more than 83,000 reviewers who've given it a 5-star rating. "Straight out of the box, a little wash and I was chopping [veggies] like a pro...I was concerned if it could chop root vegetables, [but a potato] went through like a hot knife through butter," writes one buyer. No, really, it's super easy to use; just push whole vegetables, spices or fruits through one of the four blades and collect the contents from the container. I think it has all the makings of a kitchen must-have—and I'm sure your giftee will agree.
