Google Home Hub, $100 (save $50)

Chris Monroe/CNET

Doorbuster (limited quantities): OK Google, what’s new? This cameraless, petite smart screen will blend into any room. And makes perfect sense in the kitchen, as a photo frame or a smart home control panel.

Amazon Fire TV Stick, $25 (save $15)

Sarah Tew/CNET

It’s not quite as good as Roku in our book, but if you’re a fan of Alexa or deep into Amazon’s ecosystem anyway, this price is almost too good to pass up — especially if you miss Amazon’s own sale.

Deal available now.

Fitbit Versa, $150 (save $50)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Less than half the cost of an Apple Watch, the Versa is the best fusion of smartwatch and general fitness tracker anywhere near this price.

Deal available now.

Google Home Mini, $25 (half price)

Chris Monroe/CNET

Google’s answer to Amazon’s Alexa is a tiny, always-listening speaker that responds to “OK, Google” with everything Google Assistant has to offer. At this price it’s easy to put one in a secondary room.

Sony PlayStation VR bundle with Creed and Superhot, $250 (save $100)

Sarah Tew/CNET

This one is temporarily out of stock online but may be available at a store near you. We recommend heading to Walmart for some really great PlayStation VR deals. With Tetris Effect, Astrobot and Beat Saber coming out in quick succession, now is a great time to pick up a unit.

Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless Earphones, $90 (save $100)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Target kicked off this deal early for its REDcard holders. Available in a range of colors, Beats’ wireless sports headphones list for $200 but you can find them for much less. At this discount they’re a good deal for the Beats fan on your list.

This deal is currently out of stock online.

TCL 55S405 55-inch 4K HDR Roku TV, $350 (save $30)

Sarah Tew/CNET

The best price yet for our favorite budget 55-inch TV recommendation for people who put a higher priority on streaming and convenience than they do on picture quality. 

This deal is currently out of stock online.

70-inch Vizio E70-F3: $750 (save $150)

Sarah Tew/CNET

We called the E-Series the cheapest home-theater-worthy TV, in large part because it’s the least expensive with full-array local dimming — a feature that goes further than any other for improving LCD picture quality. This huge Vizio is truly home-theater-sized, and this is a great price. 

This deal is currently out of stock online.

Microsoft Xbox One S 1TB with Minecraft bundle, $230 (save $120)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Doorbuster (limited quantities): If an Xbox is on your list, this deal can save you a bundle. (Note this isn’t the more powerful Xbox One X.)

Update, Nov. 23: This deal is out of stock online.

PlayStation 4 1TB with Spider-Man bundle, $200 (save $100)

Sarah Tew/CNET

This is the same great bundle that’s already out of stock at Walmart, Target, GameStop and Amazon. Retailers tend to get new stock in throughout the sale period, however, so you may want to follow the PS4 site for updates — it’s not always 100 percent accurate, but it does have nifty links to major retailer pages.

This deal is currently out of stock online.
