The best holiday gifts on sale for Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday is here and if you want to finish all your holiday shopping in one fell swoop, retailers are still offering deep discounts on great brands across every major category. Sourced from our editors’ favorite items and brands, we rounded up the best functional tech finds, luxe beauty products and gifts for kids that are on sale right now.

As a freelance reporter for NBC Select, I’ve covered shopping events for over two years. I combed through hundreds of discounted items to find the best Cyber Monday gift deals actually worth shopping. Each gift I recommend below is highly rated and at least 20% off — and several of them are NBC Select Award winners. When possible, I ran deals through price trackers to make sure they were at their lowest price in at least three months. To ensure fresh, worthwhile savings, I’ll frequently update this list throughout Cyber Monday.

I found, vetted and wrote about every on-sale holiday gift I recommend below. I worked with NBC Select reporters to finalize the live list, which I’m frequently updating throughout Cyber Monday to reflect the most up-to-date prices.

Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Speaker

4.7-star average rating from 3022 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

Bose makes some of our favorite headphones and smart speakers, and the SoundLink Flex is one of the brand’s most portable options. It weighs less than 2 pounds and fits in the palm of your hand or you can easily clip it onto a bag with its built-in loop. Still, it’s loud, clear, waterproof and dust-resistant with a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 12 hours, according to Bose.

TheraGun Prime Massage Gun

4.6-star average rating from 6,277 reviews on Amazon

This is one of the best massage guns for muscle relief because it’s 70% quieter than prior Theragun models and has a two-hour battery life that powers its percussion motor, according to the brand. Since it’s cordless and Bluetooth-enabled with five massager speeds and four interchangeable attachments, your giftee can use it to massage their neck, back, arms and legs.

Cricut Joy Xtra Smart Cutting Machine

4.5-star average rating from 580 reviews on Amazon

NBC Select commerce editor Cory Fernandez says the Cricut Joy Xtra is “perfect for teachers, DIY pros and small-business owners,” since you can use a Bluetooth connection and a desktop app called Cricut Design Space to cuts custom designs into vinyl, iron-on and cardstock. That way your giftee can make stickers, greeting cards, T-shirts, flyers and decals. It weighs about 6 pounds and it’s roughly the size of a shoebox, says Fernandez.

Dyson Airstrait

4.3-star average rating from 874 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

One of the best flat irons, the Dyson Airstrait dries and straightens hair at the same time using hot air, which minimizes frizz while causing less heat damage, according to the brand. It can automatically sense when hair is between the plates and otherwise lowers its airflow. It also has an LCD screen that displays temperature and heat settings on it. This set includes a non-slip heat mat and storage case.

Topicals Faded Brightening Under Eye Masks

4.4-star average rating from 967 reviews on Amazon

For the beauty lover, these Topicals masks are one of the best under-eye patches because they brighten the skin with niacinamide and de-puff it with caffeine. The non-slip adhesive helps it resists sliding around the face and they’re safe for sensitive skin, according to Topicals. This order includes six pairs.

Toniebox Audio Player Starter Set with Playtime Puppy

4.5-star average rating from 3,015 reviews on Amazon

Available in six color options, Toniebox is a padded, shock-resistant speaker that automatically plays traditional children’s songs when you place audio characters on top of it. It’s designed for independent play to inspire imagination without screens, according to the brand. This Toniebox starter set includes a charging station and the Playtime Puppy audio character.

PlayStation 5 Console

4.7-star average rating from 8,612 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

While it’s 15% off rather than our usual 20%, the PlayStation 5 is rarely on sale — and it’s a great gift for the gamer in your life. Compared to older consoles, it’s faster and supports a new generation of PlayStation games alongside 3D audio and 4K graphics for deeper immersion, according to the brand. This slim version also comes with a horizontal stand, a 1TB SSD and a wireless controller.

Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner

4.6-star average rating from 74,636 reviews on Amazon

An NBC Select Wellness Award winner, Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner is designed to repair damaged hair, minimize split ends, reduce breakage and boost shine for all hair types, according to the brand. Our editors use it regularly to counteract damage from heat and dyes. “This conditioner became my saving grace after a bad styling appointment left my hair with some serious heat damage that made my coils loose and droopy,” says NBC select associate reporter Ashley Morris. “It helped repair the areas that were affected, and after about a month of consistent use the heat damage was almost totally reversed. I also like that the formula is lightweight and slippery, because it makes it easier to detangle my hair and make sure that the conditioner is worked into every strand.”

De’Longhi Magnifica S Automatic Espresso Machine

4.0-star average rating from 51,998 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez tested this espresso machine and loved its customizable drink intensity and 13 grind settings. It’s compatible with both pre-ground coffee and whole beans, has one-touch drink options for ease of use and comes with a built-in milk frother to make lattes and cappuccinos. Since many of the machine’s components are removable and dishwasher-safe, it’s also easy to keep clean.

Callaway Golf 300 Pro Slope Laser Rangefinder

4.7-star average rating from 11,289 reviews on Amazon

When your favorite golfer looks through the lens of this Callaway Rangefinder, they’ll instantly see the slope measurement and the pin’s distance in yards, so they can choose the right club and adjust their swing accordingly. It’s tournament-legal with six-times magnification, a laser that automatically locks onto the pin and a measurement range of 1,000 yards, according to the brand. It also includes a clip-on carrying case.

Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs

4.0-star rating from 3,052 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio loves Loop earplugs for falling and staying asleep — but they’re also a Select Wellness Award winner and a great gift for those who prefer peace and quiet. The brand’s updated Quiet 2 plugs are made from lightweight, flexible silicone to muffle distracting sounds, and they come with four ear tip sizes for a comfortable fit, says Loop.

Kitsch Satin Pillowcase with Zipper

4.7-star rating from 24,526 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

An NBC Select Bed & Bath Award winner, the Kitsch pillowcase is made from cooling satin that’s gentle on hair and skin, so it’s a great gift for hot sleepers or beauty lovers. NBC Select commerce editor Lindsay Schneider loves that it has a zipper, which prevents the pillow from slipping out. Get it in your choice of three sizes and dozens of colors and patterns.

Amazon Echo Show 5

4.4-star rating from 36,939 reviews on Amazon

I have Amazon Echo devices in almost every room in my house so I can control my smart bulbs, set automatic timers and check my calendar using only my voice. The lowest-priced model in the Show lineup, the Echo Show 5 has both a built-in speaker and a touchscreen, so your giftee can play music, make video calls, view photos, check their camera feeds and watch how-to videos.

NuFace Mini Starter Kit

3.8-star average rating from 157 reviews on Amazon

NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez says she has smoother skin and less facial bloating after using the NuFace Mini. This rechargeable device uses low-level electrical currents to boost circulation and contour the jaw, neck, cheeks and brows, according to the brand. The device has three intensity levels and includes a charging cable and a hydrating conductive gel.

Dagne Dover Landon Neoprene Carryall Bag

4.8-star average rating from 4,457 reviews at Dagne Dover

The Dagne Dover Landon Carryall won an NBC Select 2024 Travel Award for the best overall weekender bag. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin loves its structured material that holds its shape and says its expandable design is helpful for longer trips when you need additional space. It comes in nine colors and four sizes, all made from water-resistant neoprene with a recycled polyester lining.
