Early Cyber Monday Sales, Black Friday Leftovers, and the Rest of Saturday's Best Deals

PublishedNovember 25, 2017

The Saturday between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is low-key one of our favorite deal days of the year. Things might seem fairly calm, but a bunch of early Cyber Monday deals are starting to pop up, and many of the best Black Friday deals are still alive for procrastinators.

The best stuff we know about is below, and we’ll keep updating this post today as we find more. It’s the biggest deals week of the year, so follow us on Twitter and Facebook, join our Kinja Deals Community group, and sign up for our Kinja Deals messenger bot for the latest updates!

Trackrs are similar to Tiles, in that they’re little dongles that use Bluetooth to help you find your keys, wallet, dog, luggage, or anything else you’ve misplaced, but with one key difference: You can change the coin cell battery yourself. Tile does have a discount program to buy new trackers once they die after a year, but Trackrs will still be cheaper in the long run, and today, they’re cheaper up-front too: Get eight of them for just $70!

AmazonBasics mounts are among the cheapest ways to hang your (brand new?) TV to the wall, and three different options are on sale today. Of particular note is the low-profile mount, which uses a bunch of tiny nails to hold almost any TV in place without finding a stud.

Their more traditional mounts are also on sale, including one that lets you easily tilt the TV up and down, though they will require a stud.

The ultimate gift for the person who has everything is 20% off today.

Power Practical’s Sparkr is a 400 lumen flashlight, an LED camping lantern, and a badass plasma lighter all rolled into one. I suspect you’re most interested in the third item on that list, so let’s dive in:

Just press one button, and an electric arc forms on the backside of of the flashlight that can light small items on fire, even in the wind. This spark is created with the same battery that powers the light, so unlike a traditional lighter, there’s no butane required. That makes it handy for camping, backyard s’mores nights, or just lighting candles around the house. Plus, it’s just cool as hell, nobody denies this.

The GoPro Hero5 Session is about as small as an action cam can possibly be, and yet it shoots gorgeous 4K/30 footage, and is as rugged as they come. It normally sells for $299, but Amazon’s marked that down by $50 today, and they’ll throw in a 16GB microSD card and a headstrap mount too.

If you want the touchscreen control of the full-sized Hero5, it’s currently bundled with a $50 Amazon gift card.

Of course, the GoPro HERO6 just came out, but unless you really need to capture 4K/60 footage, it’s probably not worth the price premium compared to these deals.

Amazon’s first-party gadgets are always hot commodities come the holidays, and all of their Black Friday deals (that we know of) are available now.

Echoes

Amazon’s breakthrough Echo smart speaker has spawned an entire family of products, and a whole bunch of them are down to all-time low prices for Black Friday, including a $20 discount on the brand new flagship Echo, a $30 discount on the smart home-ready Echo Plus, and a whopping $50 discount on the touchscreen Echo Show.

Home Theater

The full-size (and 4K-compatible) Fire TV isn’t discounted, but the compact and very capable Fire TV Stick is impulse-priced at $25.

Tablets

Amazon’s tablet deals continue to defy belief, with the Fire 7 checking in at $30 for Black Friday, the Fire HD 8 available for $50, and the Fire HD 10 priced at $100, all all-time lows. The 7" Fire tablet would be a fine gift for a kid that’s not too picky, by the 8" model is definitely worth the extra $20 for 50% more battery life, twice the built-in storage, and a better screen. The 1200p Fire HD 10 would be a great portable TV for anyone, regardless of age.

Kindles

The two entry level Kindles are both $30 off, with additional savings available on Kids and Essentials bundles. Our advice - get the Paperwhite. The extra $40 is well worth a screen that’s twice as sharp, and includes a backlight. If you don’t mind buying a refurb, you can also get the Kindle Voyage, complete with an ambient light sensor and pressure-sensitive page-turning bezels, for $120.

Cloud Cam

Amazon only came out with the Cloud Cam about a month ago, but that won’t stop them from offering a $20 discount.

Dash Buttons

Amazon’s entire selection of Dash buttons is 50% off, bringing them all down to $2.50. The first time you use them though, you’ll still get a $5 account credit, so you actually stand to (sort of) make money here.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year...to buy Sonos stuff. A bunch of the high-end audio gear is on sale for Black Friday, including the first ever discount on the Alexa-equipped Sonos One, $50 off the still-great PLAY:1 and PLAY:3, and $100 savings on the PLAYBAR and PLAYBASE.

Nest’s iconic thermostats don’t go on sale often, and sizable discounts their other products are even rarer still, so Black Friday really is the best time of year to join the ecosystem, or expand your collection. Save $50 on the third generation Nest Learning Thermostat, $20 on the Protetct smoke detector (both the battery and wired versions), $50 on the outdoor Nest Cam, or $60 on the indoor one.

Black Friday’s here to brighten your day with an array of Philips Hue smart lighting deals.

In my opinion, the Hue White starter kit for $60 is a better way to get started than the more popular color bulbs. Most people won’t turn their living room various shades of blue, but everyone can benefit from regular light bulbs that you can control with your phone or your voice. This kit gets you four bulbs and a Bridge, which can support up to 50 Hue products.

If you really do want the classic Hue colorful bulbs, they’re on sale for $32 each, which is about as cheap as they ever get.

Hue can also accent your molding, or go under your kitchen cabinets with the Hue LightStrip Plus, which has never been this cheap before.

Sony’s WH1000XM2s put the noise-canceling headphone world on notice when they were released earlier this year, and now, you can get them at a discount for the first time ever. They’re still an investment at $298, but if you spend any significant amount of time in planes, trains, or just a noisy office, they’ll probably be the best thing you buy this year.

, though its battery only lasts 20 hours compared to 30 on the new one, and its noise-cancelling engine and sound quality aren’t quite as good.

If these are out of your price range, Sony’s extra bass noise canceling cans are also on sale for $123. They won’s sound nearly as good, and don’t have all the advanced features of the 1000XM2s, but that’s still a great deal.

Don’t need noise cancelation at all? Sony’s standard wireless over-ears and on-ears are on sale for Black Friday too.

If price has been the barrier to entry keeping you from better audio, here’s the first opportunity since Prime Day to grab Status Audio’s CB-1s for their lowest price ever, $55, beating the previous best deals by $8.

Status is a direct-to-consumer headphone company, building great cans in proven form factors without the markup that comes with popular brands. In fact, there’s no branding here whatsoever.

The CB-1s are extremely comfortable out of the box, more so (for me) than the ATH-M50X, MDR7506, SR60e, or V-MODA Crossfade Wireless, just to name a few off the top of my head (ha!).

The CB-1s have a (relatively) flat frequency response that’s great for listening to a variety of music or audio/video editing, with a wide sound stage in a closed back design. I get good isolation/seal with the updated pads. The inclusion of two detachable cables- coiled and straight, is also generous and welcome. Even better that they smartly attach with a twist lock.

We know from five years of Kinja Deals that great over-ear, closed back headphones for under $60 is no joke. Depending on what you’ve shelled out for in the past, they might even blow away your much more expensive pairs.

The Greenco G Pen Elite was already one of the best vaporizers for the money at its usual $150, but for Black Friday, you can get it for an all-time low $85 with promo code KINJA-BFCM.

Of, for just $66 with the same code, you can also opt for the smaller G Pen Pro, which should perform similarly, but with a smaller chamber capacity and less precise temperature adjustment. Either way, these deals aren’t available for long, so get in before they go up in a puff of smoke.

From Gizmodo’s review:

“Pleasant” has come to define much of my time with the Grenco G Pen Elite. It charges quickly via USB and has battery life that last for days of regular use. It also feels great in my tiny hands and fits easily in a coat pocket or a purse. The thing that takes it from “perfectly pleasant” to near outstanding is the price. It’s just $170. That’s damn cheap compared to it’s competitors. The Firefly 2 costs $329.95 and the Crafty retails for $339. Sure those products heat via convection instead of roasting a ceramic chamber, they’re much easier to pull on, and the clouds they produce are enough to fishbowl someone sitting with you, but for nearly half the price the Grenco G Pen Elite is a fantastic deal.

The Roku Streaming Stick+ packs more features than you’d ever think was possible in such a small dongle. You get 4K, HDR, advanced Wi-Fi, a voice remote, basically anything else you could want in a larger streaming box. It’s only about a month old, but you can already get it for $48 for Black Friday, a ~$20 discount.

Yesterday’s big SanDisk sale is expired, but a few items remain at or near their all-time low prices for Black Friday, including some microSD cards that’ll work with your new action cam or Nintendo Switch.

An SSD is the best upgrade you can give your older computer, and Samsung’s 850 EVO line is the most popular one there is. A worldwide NAND shortage has reversed the previously inexorable downward price trend on these things over the past year or so, but today on Amazon, the 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB models are all down to the best prices of the year.

LG’s OLED TVs seem to have cornered the high-end market this year, and four different models are down to their lowest prices ever on Amazon right now, in anticipation of Black Friday. Choose from 55" or 65", and between the B7A and C7 line. The picture quality between the two will be identical (i.e. completely stunning), but the C7 has a higher quality industrial design and onboard Dolby Atmos audio processing.

In their continued effort to become the place you get literally everything you could ever need, Amazon now makes (pretty nice looking) home decor. Rivet and Stone & Beam feature modern styles, and the 15% off includes furniture, pillows, art, lighting, and more. The discount is applied at checkout, though a couple pieces in the collections have additional coupons attached that you don’t want to miss. This was one of the deals Amazon promised for Cyber Monday, so you can shop now and beat the virtual crowds.

For one day only, Amazon’s offering all-time low prices on insulated pint glasses and steampunky pressurized growlers from GrowlerWerks, which it should go without saying would make great gifts for any beer lover. Cheers!

Hands down, Nespresso is the easiest way to make decent espresso at home. Their space-saving Inissia model is down to an all-time low $60 right now, even lower than it was on Black Friday.

The Breville Smart Oven is our readers’ favorite toaster oven, and the 650XL model is one of my personal favorite possessions. If I would normally cook something in the oven, I’ll try everything in my power to make it fit into the Breville instead, which usually isn’t hard, because it can fit a lot.

It’s worth every penny at its usual $180, so you’d be making a terrible mistake to miss it at $110.

Using a fraction of the oil than its deep frying counterparts, this $110 original Philips Airfryer claims to be a healthier cooking method for all of your favorite fried foods. Hey, every little bit helps at this time of year.

This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this model. So if you’re going to eat french fries, they might as well be made in this.

If you still haven’t upgraded your morning routine with a life-changing wake-up light, the top-of-the-line model is within $1 of the best price we’ve ever seen on Amazon.

The high-end HF3520 comes packed with five different wake-up sounds, an FM radio, the ability to set two different alarms, and a color-shifting light that accurately mimics the gradually shifting light you’d see during a real sunrise. I’ve been using a cheaper model for years, and I miss is desperately whenever I travel.

Tri-ply cookware, which blends the durability of stainless steel with the even and rapid heating of aluminum, is a great investment for any at-home chef, and you can own a full set today for under $200.

$120 gets you three T-Fal frying pans, three sauce pans, a dutch oven, and a steamer insert, which is basically every pan you need for the vast majority of dishes. That’s the best price Amazon’s listed all year, and a great gift idea.

Your car often tries to tell you something, but without an OBD2 scanner, most can only communicate in the primitive language of check engine lights. Today only on Amazon, a bunch of code readers from LaunchDirect are on sale, including some for as low as $25. The more expensive models in the sale will record readings while you rev the engine, or can be updated online, but for the vast majority of people, the $25 model would make a great stocking stuffer.

There are two types of people in this world - people who love bean bag chairs, and people that are lying to themselves. CordaRoy’s unique Chenille chair actually unfolds into either a full or queen sized mattress for your guests too, so it’s a double threat. Both sizes are on sale today for about $100 less than usual, in multiple colors, so treat yourself.

The Dyson V6 cordless vacuum is ideal for cleaning rugs, hardwood floors, car seats, ceilings, shelves...pretty much anything really, and you can get a the Animal version on Amazon today for $249, about $100-$125 less than usual. Compared to the standard V6, this model has 75% more brush head power to lift pet hair and other debris out of carpets and furniture.

I bought this thing a few months ago because I bought a dark couch, and was horrified to find out how much pet hair it collected. It’s a good vacuum. A very good vacuum.

If only the best will do, the even more powerful Dyson V8 Absolute is also on sale for an all-time low $450 as well.

Two things can make your outdoor space more welcoming, string lights and a fire pit. We almost always have a deal on the former, but the latter are usually a little harder to find. At $39, this AmazonBasics fire pit hasn’t been this cheap since May and it folds up for easy storage.

Anova dominates the sales charts, but in many ways (raw heating power, looks, size, software quality), the Joule sous-vide circulator is actually the superior product, and Amazon’s running an unprecedented $30 discount on it for Black Friday

The Joule White is actually a new model of the Joule, swapping the original’s stainless steel top and base with white plastic to match the rest of the unit. Otherwise, it’s exactly the same as the Joule White/Stainless, and usually retails for $20 less at $179. Today’s Black Friday sale though is a great chance to save a bit more.

The steel version is also $30 off, but at $169, there’s really no reason to buy it over the white model, unless the white sells out.

The Anova circulator is on sale for $119, and it might be the right choice for you. I’d encourage you to read the Lifehacker showdown post to help decide.

If you don’t have any idea what I’m talking about or why you might want to buy this, Lifehacker has a great sous-vide explainer here. Spoiler alert: It’s incredibly simple, and the results are fantastic.

Ring Video Doorbell | $99 | Amazon

Ring’s video doorbell lets you see who’s at the front door, even if you’re halfway across the world, and you can outfit your porch with one for an all-time low $100. That’s down from its usual $180. Every Ring doorbell can be powered via its internal battery, or wired directly to your home, so you don’t have to choose.

You don’t need a yard, or even any gardening skills to grow your own food at home; you just need one of these countertop gardens. These fully-integrated, soil-free indoor gardens can grow herbs, vegetables, and salad greens up to five times faster than regular soil, and they’re all on sale for Black Friday.

First up, Click and Grow makes beautifully-design gardens that create the perfect environment that your plants need to thrive. With sensors that tell the Click and Grow when to turn the LED lights on, you simply fill the container with water once a month and the Click and Grow (and the plants themselves) does the rest of the work. They have two options on sale today, a 3-plant size garden for 40%, or $60, and a 9-plant size garden at 30% off or $140.

Amazon also has a countertop garden on sale, the AeroGarden Harvest. Very similar to the Click and Grows, you simply pop in the seed pods, some water, occasionally add nutrients, and it does the rest. This AeroGarden has accommodations for six plants so its a good middle ground between the two Click and Grows. It normally sells for $140 and is down to only $100 today.

The Click and Grow sale only lasts through the weekend and the AeroGarden can change in price at all time, so harvest these deals now. They make great gifts.

It’s FINALLY that time of year where it’s socially acceptable to have a Christmas tree up in your house. If you’re in the market for a new artificial one, Amazon is discounting a bunch of trees made by National Tree. These are top-of-the-line trees that look convincingly real and come in a variety of tree species. Most of these are at or very near their all-time low prices so get yourself one of these and go ahead and blast that Christmas music.

Keurigs and drip coffee makers are convenient, sure, but the coffee they produce can’t hold a candle to what you’ll get from these discounted gadgets.

First up, the legendary Aerobie Aeropress is down to $254, an extremely rare discount from its usual $30. Even at full price, it’s easily the cheapest and easiest way to make terrific coffee, and it would make a great gift for any coffee lover. It also has one of history’s all-time great product videos.

While you’re at it, we highly recommend picking up a reusable stainless steel filter to go with your new toy. It’s only $9, and it’ll pay for itself over time.

If, like me, you prefer the smoothness and concentration of cold brew, OXO’s Cold Brew maker is also $10 off today, down to $40. Just add coffee, add water, and walk away. You can read Shane’s review of it on Gear, and also see a video of how it works.

When compared to traditional blenders, stick blenders are 1,000x easier to clean. You can skip the blender work bowl and just place this stick blender in whatever container you were already using to make your sauce, smoothie, or whatever else needs to be pureed. That means less dishes, and more time to do whatever else you need to do.

This Cuisinart Smart Stick Blender is just $25 today, which is the lowest price its been since July.

If your tires are about due for a replacement, Discount Tire Direct is offering up to $100 in Visa gift card rebates (in addition to any manufacturer rebates) when you order four new tires, plus an additional $100 if you order wheels as well, plus an extra $60 on each if you use a Discount Tire credit card. Just enter your make and model, click the options to see tires on promotion, and you’ll see the rebate amount (either $25, $75, or $100) on the right hand side.

While not nearly as ubiquitous as Nest’s Learning Thermostats, Ecobee’s smart thermostats one-up the competition by pairing with wireless remote sensors that you can place elsewhere in your house, giving the thermostat a more accurate picture of your home’s overall temperature.

The new Ecobee4 is especially notable in that it doesn’t just work with Google Assistant and Alexa...it actually is a fully-featured Alexa device, just like an Echo Dot that lives on your wall. It’s rarely been discounted from its usual $250 since it launched earlier this year, but today on Amazon, you can get it (plus a remote sensor) for an all-time low $199.

In case you didn’t notice, we really like Chase’s Ultimate Rewards program. Back in 2015, Chase offered an incredible 10% back on Amazon purchases over the holidays- a promotion we’ve been longing for ever since that’s finally returned, with Best Buy and Walmart as the partner retailers this time.

Of course, you’ll need a Chase card to take advantage of this offer, but it doesn’t need to be a premium one. The high-end Chase Sapphire Reserve and the no-fee Freedom and Freedom Unlimited are all eligible. These are all must-own cards anyway, so if you don’t already have one, this deal is a great pot sweetener to stack with both your Black Friday/Cyber Monday savings and your sign-up bonuses.

Walmart’s half of the promotion runs through Dec. 14, with a max applicable spend of $325, while Best Buy’s goes all the way to Christmas Eve with a ceiling of $400. You can use Chase Pay to check out online to take advantage of the Walmart offer, but with Best Buy you’ll have to... go to a store.

If you want to get a head start on your New Year’s resolution, Amazon’s running a big one-day sale on Bowflex fitness equipment today, including an adjustable 90 pound dumbbell, TreadClimbers, and even a full home gym for just $300. Head over to Amazon to see all of the deals, but just remember that these prices are only available today, or until swoled out.

Look, it’s now officially the holiday season, and that means it’s gonna get cold. If you’re in the market for a new down jacket to keep the temperatures from ruining your day, Amazon is discounting a couple styles (plus a vest) of Columbia’s Flash Forward Jacket. Today only, you can pick up a down piece that will last you through a couple seasons for a lot less.

Note: As with most Amazon clothing, colors and sizes effect the pricing, so just pay attention.

After going dark on Black Friday to “opt outside,” REI is back with up to 40% off during their Cyber Week sale. REI carries literally everything you could need to enjoy the outdoors, and with these major discounts, you can outfit yourself in new gear for a lot less. The North Face, Columbia, Sorel, Patagonia, and more brands you know and love are included.

Work off the 17 pounds of turkey you ate this week, or get a head start on resolutions, with this Amazon activewear Gold Box. Leggings, shorts, outerwear, layering pieces, and more are marked down from brands like Adidas, PUMA, Columbia, Under Armour and more. And, maybe pair it with the massive Bowflex Gold Box happening as well.

ECCO has been around since the ‘60s but the timeless, comfortable styles of their men’s and women’s shoes are what’s on display today. Amazon’s Gold Box has ECCO men’s dress shoes, loafers, and sneakers, and women’s boots and sneakers, for as low as $54. Trust me, these things will last, but this 24-hour sale will not.

While we see individual deals on foam rollers, yoga mats, and resistance bands from time to time, they’re all on sale today in Amazon’s Gold Box, plus a whole lot more.

The sale includes a bunch products from WODFitters, including the stuff mentioned above, plus less frequently discounted gear like a calf-stretching board, a peanut massager, kinesiology tape, and more. Just remember that these prices are only available today, and the best stuff could sell out early.

The Philips Norelco OneBlade is the shaver of choice for every guy on our staff, and Amazon’s offering an unprecedented 50% discount on it for Black Friday.

If you aren’t familiar with this thing yet, Shane shared his thoughts about it on Lifehacker Gear:

I’m pretty blown away by the Philips OneBlade. I was expecting a deconstructed electric razor or a souped up Gillette Power-style situation, but the OneBlade is more like the next evolution of beard trimmers.
The OneBlade can be used to get a close shave, edge, or trim down to your preferred length. It’s also washable and rechargeable, and the replaceable blades that last an estimated four months are already available on Subscribe and Save.
The OneBlade can be used in the shower or over the sink, with or without shaving cream or oil. To be clear, this is not going to give you a straight razor-close shave, but it’s going to get you 99.5% of the way there in no time and with no irritation.

The OneBlade usually sells for $35, and occasionally sees modest discounts to $25-$35, but $17 blows away every previous promotion. I paid full price for it back in March of this year (I’m still on my original blade, for the record), and have zero regrets.

Zappos is basically a one-stop shoe destination already, but right now, they’re having an actual sale, something they haven’t done in years. It’s ending on Saturday, so you’d better hurry and grab discounted shoes and apparel from Columbia, Sam Edelman, Frye, SOREL, Asics, Nike, The North Face, Hunter and more for men and women. And, if you’re part of their rewards program, get free expedited shipping on the over 70,000 items on sale.

In a twist of fate, Nordstrom Rack is having a clearance sale for Black Friday that’s even better than Clear the Rack. Starting today and going through Monday, you can get an additional 30% off Nordstrom Rack’s entire sale section, which is chock full of designer clothing in all styles.

Uniqlo’s affordability is sometimes thwarted by the shipping costs, so when there’s free shipping, you know it’s a big deal. But with Black Friday sales upon us, they’re marking down outwear, denim, HEATTECH, socks, sweaters, basically everything for the fall, and there’s free shipping. Is there such thing as a Thanksgiving miracle?

GAP launched their 50% off deal Wednesday, and now Banana Republic has followed suit with Old Navy at a respectable 40% off. Right now, pick up 50% off everything full-price at BR or head over to Old Navy and grab 40% off your entire order. Plus, GAP’s sale is still happening and you can take advantage of all three sales at once, with one checkout. What a time to be alive.

ThinkGeek is helping the nerds in your life get ready for the holidays. Score up to 75% off of a ton of products and apparel during their Black Friday Sale. There are seriously hundreds of items to choose from, which means every corner of geekdom is covered by this sale.

You voted Indochino your favorite custom clothing company by a wide margin, and this week you can dress yourself in a bunch of different suits for all-time low prices of $289-$329 with promo code KINJA17.

You do not have to go through the measurement and customization process to lock in this discount. You can checkout now and submit later, which makes it very easy to gift a suit.

Having a suit that fits perfectly is great, but the little details Indochino lets you customize, from your jacket lapels to pocket flaps to accent stiching around your buttons, are where things get fun.

How It Works

Measure and customize from home...

Follow the directions on Indochino’s site to submit your measurements and customize your suit. Once the suit arrives, if anything doesn’t fit quite right, Indochino will provide directions for your local tailor, along with a $75 credit to cover their work. If for whatever reason your tailor cannot resolve the issues, Indochino will remake your suit. Shipping and return shipping are free.

If you live near a showroom...

Purchase your suit online with our discount and take your receipt/account info into an Indochino showroom. They’ll do your measurements, walk you through your customization options, and have your suit delivered to the showroom. Return once it arrives for any final alterations if they’re needed.

Those who already have a closet full of suits may want to opt for something more interesting like the Slate Blue Plaid Suit, while the rest of us should go for something versatile.

Let us know what you’ll be wearing to your next event (or day at the office) in the comments.

Kindle Unlimited is basically Netflix for ebooks and audiobooks, and Amazon’s offering a very rare discount on the service today. You’ll save 33% off the $10/month regular price when you buy one year, or 40% when you purchase two. If you love to read, this should pay for itself, and it would also make a great holiday gift for the bookworm in your life.

For the first time since Prime Day, Amazon’s offering a sitewide discount on all physical books they sell; save $5 on any order of $20 or more with code GIFTBOOK17.

Just like previous, similar deals, this deal excludes Kindle titles and audiobooks, but if there are any commemorative coffee table-type books or collector’s editions that you’ve been eyeing, this is a great opportunity. Just choose carefully; you can only use the code once per Amazon account.

You can buy multiple books to meet the $20 threshold, but here are a few $20+ suggestions to get you started. Again, this works on any physical book Amazon sells (shipped and sold by Amazon directly), so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a use for it. Let us know in the comments what you got!

Need the perfect gift for the pretentious music lover in your life? How about BOGO 50% off vinyl records? This seems to apply sitewide on Amazon for any vinyl shipped and sold by Amazon.com directly, so just find two albums, stick them in your cart, and enjoy the discount.

Need some inspiration? Our readers voted on their must-own albums a few months ago, and let me tell you, people had opinions.

Any kind of remote controlled vehicle makes for an awesome holiday gift for kids, and that’s especially true now that inexpensive (and pretty good!) drones are a thing. Today only on Amazon, you can choose from a bunch of drones, an RC car, and even a remote controlled boat, all for great low prices. Some of the drones even have cameras!

Whether you’re re-upping your own subscription or giving them out as gifts, both PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold are on sale for Black Friday.

The PlayStation Plus deal has been available for a few days, and is pretty straightforward: A year for $40. Buy it.

The Xbox Live deal isn’t quite as good, but paying $50 now sure beats paying $60 once your membership unexpectedly expires.

Persona 5 [PS4 Digital] | $30 | Amazon

Like RPGs? Own a PS4? Buy Persona 5 for $30.

Black Friday’s PlayStation VR bundles promised to be the best deals yet on the excellent virtual reality system, and two of them are live now.

$299 gets you the headset, the camera, and Gran Turismo Sport, or add $50 to get a pair of Move controllers and Skyrim.

$92 is a really good price for the Blue Yeti USB microphone, one of the most popular computer mics out there. And today, that price also includes a copy of the brand new Assassin’s Creed Origins, so you’ll have something to occupy yourself when you aren’t recording America’s next hit podcast.

If this bundle sells out, or you just really don’t want the game, the mic by itself is also on sale for $89 in multiple colors, which is a great price.

If you’re looking to grab an Xbox One S this holiday season, Microsoft has a ton of selection, and great incentives. Pretty much every console bundle is discounted by $50, with prices starting at a paltry $189, plus you get to pick an extra game of your choice, albeit from a fairly uninspiring selection.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus only just came out (and it’s really good unless you think Nazis are very fine people), but you can already get it for $25.

Need to get caught up? The Wolfenstein 2-pack (which includes Wolfenstein: The New Order and the standalone add-on The Old Blood) is just $15 for PS4 and Xbox One.

If you haven’t picked up Destiny 2 yet, it’s back in stock on Amazon for $30 right now. It was briefly available for $27 earlier in the week, but I doubt we’ll see that again.

Whether you already own a game console, or you’re buying a new one today, it never hurts to grab some extra controllers for under $40. The Xbox One S gamepad is on sale for $40 in both black and white, while the DualShock 4 is $38 in a whole array of colors.

If you still haven’t picked up a copy of Final Fantasy XV (and you definitely should), Amazon’s marked PS4 digital copies down to $20 today, and physical Xbox One discs to $19, the best prices we’ve seen so far.

The Humble Monthly subscription plan delivers you a selection of new games (to keep!) every month, gives you 10% off everything in the Humble Store, and donates 5% of each month’s proceeds to charity. If you prefer to play your games on PC, it might just be the best deal in gaming.

For a limited time, if you prepay for a full year at $11 per month, they’ll throw in a $20 Humble Store gift card that you can spend on pretty much any game that you’d find on Steam. Can’t argue with that.
