With 2025 almost in the rearview mirror, I'm placing all my focus on my jam-packed year ahead. Already on the calendar is a trip throughout Italy, a few visits to Stowe, Vermont, and a weekend in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, with more to come. That being said, I'm taking advantage of as many end-of-year clothing deals as possible so I don't have to splurge at the eleventh hour before a trip-a habit I'm kicking in the new year.

Flight attendant-approved suitcases from Samsonite, Tumi, Travelpro, and more brands are steeply discounted, with savings up to 70 percent off on smooth-rolling carry-ons, spacious checked luggage, and compact underseat bags. If, like me, you prefer plane tickets to presents, hopefully you have some adventures on the 2026 horizonand thanks to these epic deals, you'll be able to travel in style without breaking the bank.

I've learned the hard way that bringing a boring gift to a White Elephant exchange is basically social sabotage. Over the years, my strategy has evolved into one simple rule: if it's travel-related, useful, and from Amazon, it's almost guaranteed to get stolen. From cozy comforts to clever travel accessories, these are the kinds of gifts people didn't know they needed - until someone else opens them.

I'm a skincare dork. So much so that two Black Fridays ago, I bought Medicube's viral fancy pants skincare wand for $215. In the dark ages of 2023, you couldn't even buy Medicube's products on Amazon so I felt pretty, pretty slick getting 40 percent off of a $330 luxury skincare device. Well, I sure do feel salty now because Amazon has a deal on a fancier, limited edition version of the Medicube Booster Pro plus the company's TXA Niacinamide serum for $169.

Lacoste has staying power. Its iconic polo will never go out of style, and between brand revamps and innovative collaborations, it's always in the fashion consciousness. But the polo is the real reason Lacoste will always be around. Thanks to Amazon's Black Friday sale, bestsellers from the brandincluding that Classic Pique Poloare nearly half off. Lacoste Original Pique Polo Shirt To save you some scrolling, we've narrowed down the best of the best Black Friday deals from the brand.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are still a week away, but you don't have to wait till then to start saving. Almost all big retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are offering plenty of early deals already, and we're spotting deep discounts on some of the best earbuds out there. Amazon, in particular, is being the most generous right now and has dropped the price of Shokz OpenFit 2 to just $125.

If you're picking up some of the great Xbox game deals in Amazon's early Black Friday sale this week, you may also want to check out the retailer's deal on Western Digital's official Xbox Storage Expansion Card. The WD Black C50 1TB Expansion Card is on sale for only $100 (was $150), which is 10 bucks less than the price we saw during Prime Big Deal Days. The C50 is a plug-and-play storage upgrade for Xbox Series X and Series S.

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. Is there anything better than finding a cool new product that makes your life easier and more fun? The weird - yet genius - products below are so well priced so you don't have to hold back on experimenting with more than just one of them. That explains why Amazon has trouble keeping them in stock.

Amazon has awesome deals on a handful of Lego Mario Kart playsets, including two products on sale for the first time since the second wave of racers joined the series in August. Interactive Lego Mario & Standard Kart, which is the starter set for the collection, is up for grabs for $44 (was $55). The other first-time deal is Wario & King Boo for $40 (was $50), which is the only Lego Super Mario set featuring fan-favorite character Wario.

As a shopping writer who's regularly catching a flight (and guilty of overpacking every time), I'm always on the lookout for roomy carry-on luggage. These plane-ready bags help me pack efficiently-and with the right one, you may not even have to check a bag (because who likes paying extra or waiting at baggage claim?). Whether you're gearing up for cold-weather travel, getting a head start on holiday gifting, or finally

Dell quietly sidesteps this problem by offloading fully-loaded Inspiron 15-inch laptops through Amazon rather than advertising aggressive discounts on its own website to protect brand perception while clearing inventory. The Inspiron 3530 with Intel i7 processor, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD currently sells for just $939 on Amazon, slashed from its typical $3,599 price tag. Dell's own site shows no comparable promotion which makes Amazon the exclusive channel for this 74% discount that brings professional-grade specs down to consumer pricing.

The two coolest Hot Wheels Mario Kart tracks sold on Amazon are discounted to superb prices this weekend. The Amazon-exclusive Mario Kart Circuit Track Set is down to $68 (was $98). Over 10% of units are claimed at the time of writing, so snag the Circuit Track while you can. Mario Kart fans should also check out the recently released Bowser's Castle Raceway Track Set.

Lego Fortnite building sets are on sale for terrific prices at Amazon. The most notable deal is the 691-piece Supply Llama model for only $26 (was $40). This is the lowest price ever for the budget-friendly model of the Fortnite mascot. For an even cheaper Fortnite Lego set, check out the 193-piece Durrr Burger for only $8.79 (was $15). The Durrr Burger is one of two Fortnite sets from last year's launch lineup that Lego is retiring soon.

With the holiday season fast approaching, now is a good time to start grabbing a few affordable stocking stuffers or party favors. And if you have a Super Mario fan on your shopping list, you may want to check out this mystery box of Yoshi toys before Amazon sells out. Amazon is selling a 12-pack of TOMY Yoshi Wind-Up Figures--with the box included--for only $24.41.

Talisman: The Magical Quest Game's 5th Edition is steeply discounted at Amazon. Released last year for $60 to substantial fanfare, the updated version of the classic fantasy dungeon crawler is up for grabs for only $38 right now. The 37% price cut is the best yet, but like many Amazon deals, there's no way of knowing when the price will jump back up. Talisman still regularly sells for its full MSRP, so you shouldn't wait long if you want to embark on a Magical Quest.

Amazon typically cuts prices on its company-owned brands, such as Kindle, Ring, and Alexa devices, during this sales event. But more retailers, including Apple, Samsung, Oura, Google, and Garmin, also slash prices on their smartwatches and health trackers to participate. This makes October Prime Day a great opportunity to buy a wishlist item you've been putting off or complete your holiday shopping early.

The legitimacy of Prime Day is a hotly debated topic every year. Prime Day does have some legit deals, usually on flagship Amazon products like Fire TVs, Echo devices, Kindles, and more. However, the best way to ensure you're getting an actual deal is to prepare to shop for offers and use price tracking tools to make sure you don't fall victim to brands marking up items to "discount' them later.
