There’s only a little over a week until the big day, or in other words, it’s crunch time for holiday shopping. Luckily, there’s still plenty of deals at Amazon to help you save on your last-minute gifts. Brands like Beats, Yeti, Sonos, and more are offering discounts up to 48% off as of Dec. 16 — and we’ve rounded up the best ones.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these are your cup of tea, be sure to check back tomorrow for a brand-new list of deals.
Our top pick: Beats Studio Buds
Searching for a solid pair of noise-cancelling earbuds that won’t break the bank? The Beats Studio Buds are on sale for just $79 as of Dec. 16 at Amazon. That’s 47% in savings and 99 cents cheaper than their Prime Day and Black Friday price. Mashable’s Alex Perry called them “Apple’s new go-to entry-level earbuds” when they first came out in 2021, boldly stating they “put entry-level AirPods to shame.” Some standout perks are powerful bass, 24-hour battery life (with the charging case), transparency mode, spatial audio, and decent ANC. While they’re no longer the latest or greatest Beats buds on the market, they still hold up in 2024.

Blink Whole Home Bundle
While you can’t put a price tag on peace of mind, you can get pretty close with this $109.97 deal on the Blink Whole Home Bundle. It includes the Blink Outdoor 4, Mini 2, and Video Doorbell system, so you can keep an eye on every part of your home. Using the Blink app, you can see who shows up at your door (even at night) and enjoy live two-way communication with the Video Doorbell. Then, with the Outdoor 4, you can expand your field of view around your home and be alerted to anything out of the ordinary. The Blink Mini 2 handles the inside of your home, day or night, while the Sync Module 2 (included) lets you track all of the action in one place. Slash 45% off as of Dec. 16.
Sonos Ray
According to Mashable reviewer Han Schneider, the Sonos Ray “delivers on the bottom line requirement of any speaker: true, quality sound.” It’s a budget-friendly, low-profile soundbar that happens to be one of our favorites — particularly as a starter soundbar. It doesn’t have a ton of fancy features (no Bluetooth connectivity, HDMI hookup, or smart home compatibility), but the price tag and impressive sound quality more than make up for it. It’s usually $279, but as of Dec. 16, it’s on sale for only $169 at Amazon. That’s 39% in savings and just $20 away from its best-ever price from Black Friday.

Amazon Echo Frames
Need a unique gift option that will make it to your door before Christmas? The Amazon Echo Frames check both of those boxes. They’re Alexa-equipped sunglasses that allow you to control your smart home devices, ask questions, play music, stream podcasts, and take hands-free calls. No need to whip out a phone or pop in earbuds with these babies on. They last for up to 14 hours on a single charge and come in five unique styles. Plus, they’re prescription compatible. Usually $329.99, you can grab a pair on sale for only $169.99 as of Dec. 16. That’s 48% in savings and matches their best-ever price.

Yeti Roadie 60 wheeled cooler
Yeti coolers are hard to beat; not only can they keep eyes for days (weeks, even!), but they’re also virtually indestructible. I own a Yeti Roadie 24 and my only complaint is that it’s pretty dang heavy when it’s filled up. The Roadie 60 fixes that problem by adding two puncture-resistant wheels and a periscope handle. It can fit 98 cans, 68 pounds of just ice, or 19 wine bottles — in other words, this thing is massive — making it a great option for camping trips, beach days, weekend getaways, and everything in between. It’s usually $450, but you can get the lilac option on sale for $337.50 at Amazon as of Dec. 16. That’s a rare 25% in savings.
