Cyber Monday is here. To find the best deals in every category, follow all of our Cyber Monday coverage.
Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale is almost over — and, as always, it can feel a little overwhelming, especially if you saved all of your shopping until the last minute. But not to worry: I’ve consulted with my colleagues on their personal favorite picks in the category they’re covering, from beauty to toys to tech. I also went through the sales myself with an eye for products I know are a hit year after year (this is my sixth year covering Cyber Monday, after all). And almost everything below is at least 20 percent off. But since we’re in the final hours, now’s the time to hit “add to cart.”
To make it even easier to shop, I’ve organized this post by product category. And don’t forget to stay updated with more sales coverage by signing up for our email newsletter.
Update on December 2: Updated prices and checked stock for all products.
The deals I personally think are the best
On the beauty front, I always think Cyber Monday is a good time to splurge on otherwise very expensive devices, like the TheraFace Pro or a Dyson hair tool. Otherwise, I always suggest picking up extra gifts, like this Starface starter pack, which is great for Secret Santa or stocking stuffers.
Tech
Cyber Monday is always good for scoring tech, and this year is no different. There are some extremely giftable headphones, AirTags, and portable chargers.
Home
If you want to upgrade your sleep situation, there are lots of mattresses on sale. Plus, gadgets that will make your home better come winter-hibernation season like our favorite air purifier and a nifty humidifier.
Beauty and personal care
Cyber Monday is an ideal time to stock up on all your beauty favorites for the year, like the CosRx snail mucin. This is also a great opportunity to pick up more expensive tools, like a new blow-dryer brush or curling iron.
Vacuums
I was very impressed with vacuum deals, where I’ve spotted plenty of our favorites from brands like Dyson, Miele, and Bissell.
Kitchen
In the kitchen category, I’ve seen the best deals on big-ticket appliances, like Breville’s smart toaster oven, a KitchenAid stand mixer, and this souped-up espresso machine.
Clothing and apparel
If you’re in the market for a holiday outfit, I’ve found some nice options, including a pair of Vince Camuto knee-highs for just $150. (Or pick up some classic Carhartt.)
Toys and games
Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo says there are plenty of excellent discounts on toys this year at Amazon, including rarely on-sale Squishmallows and the Strategist reader-favorite card game Dutch Blitz.
Kids and baby gear and toys
The perhaps less fun (but still very necessary) kids stuff.
