If you haven't started your holiday shopping, it's time to get on it. You only have a few weeks to find all the gifts that will cement your status as the best gift-giver in history.
OK, maybe that's too much pressure. Still, Cyber Week is an excellent time to snag gifts for everyone on your list at great prices — in many cases, the lowest prices of the year.
If you're still asking yourself "What do I want for Christmas?" you're in the right place. Whether you're searching for gadgets, games, home goods, or toys (or if you're not sure what you're looking for yet), here are 15 on-sale gift ideas anyone would be excited to unwrap.
You can even gift them to yourself. We won't tell.
The Kleenex of e-readers
Sure, there are other good ereaders out there, but the Kindle is still the most iconic. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has double the storage of the standard Paperwhite, making it ideal for readers with large digital libraries.
A TikTok-famous kitchen appliance
Isn't it so beautiful that we live in a world where appliances can go viral? The Ninja Creami lets you make your own ice cream (and smoothie bowls, gelato, and sorbet) at home with the press of a button. A word of caution: In her review of the Ninja Creami, Mashable's Samantha Mangino noted that it's best suited for meal preppers since it requires some freeze-ahead time.
Wicked's source material
Is your giftee obsessed with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in Wicked? Gift them the book that inspired the original musical (which the movie is based on). At Walmart, it's 50% off — prime stocking-stuffer material for the theater kid in your life.
Furbies, but smaller than usual
Doesn't get much better than this. (They play music.)
The Dyson Airwrap's superior rival
We've long maintained that the Shark FlexStyle edges out the Dyson Airwrap in terms of quality and price — and now, it's even cheaper. Help your loved one tame their locks with the tool Mashable's Bethany Allard calls "beyond... a gold-standard dupe."
A Dyson Supersonic dupe
If you're working with a smaller gift budget, the Dreame Gleam hairdryer is a sleek, serviceable dupe for the iconic Dyson Supersonic. According to Allard (who uses the tool herself), it "sticks to the basics," but it still makes a great gift for someone wanting to upgrade from the old Revlon they've used since middle school.
Supremely comfy headphones
Bose's QuietComfort headphones are some of the most dependable out there: They're comfortable and plush, deliver top-notch audio, and have an impressive battery life. (Plus, look at that "Chilled Lilac" color — pretty!) A pair would make a lovely gift for a frequent flier or commuter train rider.
"Impressive in every way" earbuds
If they're more of an earbuds person, Bose is also the way to go. Mashable contributor Timothy Beck Werth is a big fan of the Mashable Choice Bose QuietComfort Ultra Noise-Canceling Earbuds (he went so far as to say he was "in love"), noting their impeccable noise cancellation, long battery life, and comfort in his review.
Our pick for the best MacBook for most people
Ooh, OK, so you're ready to drop some cash on gifts this year? We have just the thing. Apple's M3 MacBook Air is $200 off for Cyber Week. While it's not the $844 deal we saw earlier in the week, it's still a discount on the latest model. Mashable tech editor Kimberly Gedeon admires its "zippy performance" and satisfyingly click-clacky keyboard.
A classic Amazon smart speaker
If they've always dreamed of conversing with Alexa in their own home, opt for the latest Echo Dot model. They can use it in the kitchen to set timers, in the living room to listen to music, or in their bedroom to set (and snooze) their alarm — whatever their heart desires.
Reusable storage bag
Stasher bags are a godsend for the environmentally conscious cook. They're dishwasher-safe, can be used in the microwave, and (in my experience) hold up exceptionally well long-term. This 104-ounce workhorse is 42% off for Cyber Week. And no, it's not a boring gift as long as you give it to the right person.
A miracle pet hair remover
The Chom Chom may not look like much, but gifting it to a pet owner pretty much guarantees you a 1000-word thank-you letter. Just make sure they're prepared to realize just how much fur was embedded in their couch cushions.
An ultra-portable speaker
The JBL Go 3 is basically built for a picnic on the beach. It's IP67 waterproof (which means it can handle being submerged in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes), has a solid five-hour battery life, and comes in many delightful colors to match their swimsuit. It also makes a great shower speaker if they're not much of a beach bum.
The water bottle of the moment
Move over, Stanley. The Owala FreeSip is the hydration tool du jour, and it's a mere $23 for Cyber Week. This water bottle's big draw is that you can sip or chug from it. Real water drinkers know what a big deal that is.
A gift to send a subtle message
Sometimes, you need to use a gift to get a point across — like, please keep track of your things. A four-pack of Apple AirTags will do just that. You'll save 26% on the four-pack's usual price, and your recipient will hopefully save four of their most prized belongings from being lost forever. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving.
