NYT Pips hints, answers for December 1, 2025

Mashable - Mon, 12/01/2025 - 04:00

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for November 8, 2025

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

  • Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

  • Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

  • Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

  • Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

  • Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

IT: Welcome to Derry episode 6: Is Mrs Kersh really Pennywises daughter?

Mashable - Mon, 12/01/2025 - 04:00

As IT: Welcome to Derry progresses, the number of familiar faces continues to stack up.

The most recent of these is Ingrid Kersh (Madeleine Stowe), the Juniper Hill worker who is in a secret relationship with Hank Grogan (Stephen Rider), and whose notable last name we finally learned in episode 5. In the IT movies and in Stephen King's novel, Mrs Kersh is an elderly woman visited by Beverly Marsh, who turns out to be the creature in one of its many forms.

In the show, however, she appears to be a real person. And episode 6 finally gives us some interesting new information about her.

So what exactly happens, and what might it mean for her character?

SEE ALSO: 'IT: Welcome to Derry' episode 3 features a key piece of Stephen King's 'IT' that was left out of the movies What happens in IT: Welcome to Derry episode 6?

A spiralling Lilly (Clara Stack) visits Mrs Kersh's house in episode 6, only to find black-and-white photographs from 1908 of a young Ingrid with a familiar-looking man in a clown costume.

"My father was a carnival performer," says Mrs Kersh, who seems disturbingly elated at the idea Lilly has seen IT. "He called himself Pennywise the Dancing Clown. I adored him. And he was taken from me. The carnival moved on but I stayed in Derry. I suppose you could say I felt...drawn."

In a black-and-white flashback, we see a younger Mrs Kersh encountering Pennywise – who she thinks is her father – while working at Juniper Hill. Even when he chomps through a child in front of her, she doesn't seem put off.

"It was him," says Mrs Kersh. "Different, perhaps, changed by whatever he'd been through, or wherever he'd been. Oh, but it was him all the same. A daughter knows."

But is she really related to Pennywise, or is something else going on here?

Is Mrs Kersh really Pennywise's daughter?

The short answer is no, almost certainly not. Pennywise is an ancient alien entity who loves reaching into the minds of humans and borrowing their fears and traumas as disguises. He may well have used Mrs Kersh's father as inspiration for his clown name and identity, but it's clear from his reaction to Mrs Kersh calling him "papa" (confusion followed by laughter) that the connection is only in her head.

"Every time that he returned this shadow would steal my father away," Mrs Kersh tells Lilly. "I had to find a way to free him. So I did what I had to to see him again."

What seems far more likely than Mrs Kersh actually being related to Pennywise is that the creature decided to use her as a means to find more children to feed itself with. We know from the book and movies that IT sometimes treats vulnerable adults as pawns – it seems most likely that Ingrid is just another Henry Bowers.

New episodes of IT: Welcome to Derry premiere Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.

Hurdle hints and answers for December 1, 2025

Mashable - Mon, 12/01/2025 - 04:00

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

In Mashable's testing of the best Ninja kitchen appliances, the best Creami award went to the Ninja Scoop & Swirl. Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino wrote, "It builds off Ninja's existing Creami technology to spin and churn your homemade pints of ice cream, froyo, and fruit whip. However, the Swirl also has a soft serve dispenser for serving up creamy, fluffy swirls of ice cream. It's the most impressive Creami for the hosts with the most, but it's also just straight-up fun."

Black Friday is wrapping up, but early Cyber Monday deals are now kicking into high gear.

And even though Cyber Monday doesn't technically begin until Dec. 1, Amazon has already started its official Cyber Monday sales event. Post-Black Friday, there have been some winners and losers. The Apple AirPods 4 with ANC were on sale for $99.99, but now they're back up to $139.99. Meanwhile, Samsung products are getting even more affordable, with an extra $100 off The Frame TV and the lowest-ever price on the Galaxy Watch 8.

We're still seeing a ton of epic deals on some of our favorite products from Bose, Apple, Anker, and Lego, in addition to Amazon devices like Kindles and the Echo lineup, plus discounts on some of our favorite gifts for 2025. Amazon even brought back its 1-cent Haul deals. The majority of Amazon's deals are record-low prices, but be warned, the top deals are selling out.

With just hours to go until Cyber Monday, you don't have time to waste. We'll be updating this page with new Amazon Cyber Monday deals as they drop, so keep checking back through Dec. 1. Of course, it's worth checking out the best deals from competing retailers like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart, too. Before adding a product to one of our shopping guides, we verify that it's not cheaper at a competing retailer. You can also keep up with the latest price drops with our live deals tracker or get them texted straight to your phone.

The Apple Watch SE 3 earns the top spot on Mashable's list of the best smartwatches. We were very impressed with the new Apple Watch SE 3 when it was released just a few months ago, and it has a couple of key upgrades over the previous generation. Most importantly, Apple's budget smartwatch now comes with an always-on OLED display and a much-improved battery life. In fact, it's now hard to justify the higher price of the Apple Watch Series 11, unless you prefer the slightly larger display.

It’s a known fact of the universe that Amazon devices get serious discounts for major sale events. If you haven't picked up a smart speaker yet, or just need one for a random room like the laundry room or guest bath, we recommend the Echo Pop. It’s currently $21.99, which is 45% off its regular price. Unlike the spherical Echo Dot, the Pop has a flat front that makes it fit way better on shallow shelves or crowded nightstands. It’s the perfect low-stakes way to add Alexa to another corner of your house without spending "real" money. But this is selling out fast as we head into Cyber Monday, as several colors have sold out.

It's a great model for taking to the campground or keeping in the garage in case of power outages. Thanks to Amazon's Cyber Monday sale, this model is down to a new record low.

The Bose QuietComfort headphones were sitting at a pretty lackluster $199 sale price for much of Black Friday season. However, on Nov. 30, the tides finally changed, and our favorite (more) affordable Bose headphones are down to a record-low price of $159.99, knocking a whopping $189.01 off their price tag (and saving you 54%). Though they may not have top-of-the-line sound (you won't find any spatial audio here), they absolutely have top-of-the-line comfort, and most importantly, an unbeatable price tag.

Amazon has matched Walmart's excellent deal on the TCL QM6K TV, which our friends at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the "best TV under $1,000 in 2025." It checks all the boxes you want in a new TV: impressive picture quality with vibrant colors, smooth streaming interface (via Google TV), a high refresh rate for gaming (144Hz), and a killer price tag. At $697.99, this deal not only beats its Prime Day price by more than $50, but it marks a new record-low. It's not quite as impressive as its QM8K sibling, but the QM6K is "a stellar mini LED TV for the low-to-mid-tier price range," as our team pointed out in our roundup of the best TVs for 2025.

The current sale event marks the very first time the Roborock Saros 10R has dropped below $1,000, so senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart can't help but recommend it to people — considering the Saros 10R was her favorite robot vacuum that she's ever tested for most of 2025, and is still the best robot vacuum mop combo when it comes to corner and edge mopping. (In Reddit threads about which robot vacuum everyone was looking to buy over Black Friday, the Saros 10R is mentioned multiple times.)

At 22,000 Pa of suction power, the Saros 10R is also one of the most powerful robot vacs you'll find on sale this season. Plus, the livestream pet camera will quickly become a daily staple in the routines of busy pet parents.

A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $269.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $229.99 at Walmart. $40 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)

If there's one thing Mashable readers love buying during the Black Friday-to-Cyber Monday sales, it’s the LifeStraw. It’s a staple of every major sales event, and for good reason. Right now, it’s back down to its Prime Day price of $9.99, which is typically the lowest it goes all year (it's usually around $20). Even if you aren't an avid hiker, this is a must-have for your home emergency kit or bug-out bag. It filters out 99.999999 percent of waterborne bacteria and parasites, so you can drink directly from a stream (or a sketchy tap) safely. At $10, it’s the ultimate practical stocking stuffer.

Black Friday-Cyber Monday season is the best time of year to sign up for streaming services. Amazon is offering tons of add-on subscription deals for Prime members (or Prime Video subscribers). Our favorite one? The Apple TV+ add-on for just $5.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month, that's $42 in savings. Apple TV+ is where you'll find the most-talked-about show of the year so far, Pluribus. If you don't want to get left behind by the zeitgeist, then you'll need an Apple TV subscription. The savings are only live through Cyber Monday on Dec. 1, so don't drag your feet.

Read our full review of the M4 MacBook Air.

The 13-inch MacBook Air is down to a brand new record-low price of $738.04 for Cyber Monday this year, beating out its Black Friday pricing by just over $10. This is our favorite laptop for students thanks to its speedy M4 silicon and slim, portable design. We weren't counting on this laptop dropping lower than its former $749 price, so if you've been waiting to grab the best possible deal on a MacBook Air, this is most likely going to be it.

Amazon's Cyber Monday sale is in full swing, and we just spotted a brand new deal on the Bose QuietComfort Noise-Cancelling Headphones. They're now $30 cheaper than they were on Black Friday. Earlier today, we saw a $30 Amazon credit with purchase pop up, which made this a ridiculously good deal, but it vanished quickly. Will we see it reappear? Hopefully.

These Mashable-tested and approved Bose headphones offer some of the best sound and ANC in the mid-range category, and this is easily one of the best Cyber Monday deals so far.

What's not to like about a $79.99 Kindle? Currently 27% off at Amazon, this Mashable-tested e-reader is at its all-time low price. We're big fans of Kindles, and the base Kindle is a good choice for holiday gift giving. It has ample storage and a slim, lightweight design.

"If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. While the Hisense U6 Mini LED QLED TV falls into the budget-friendly category, its specs don't scream 'budget' at all. It features a Mini LED backlight system, which means it uses smaller LEDs to deliver a brighter and more detailed picture. Plus, it packs a 144Hz native refresh rate, WiFi 6 connectivity, support for HDR in Dolby Vision, the Fire TV OS, and on-board Alexa. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it 'easily the brightest and most colorful budget-friendly TV we've tested.'" — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

The Ninja Slushi is a blast in any season — frozen margs in any flavor you want when it's hot, apple cider slush or gingerbread frappé when it's chilly. (Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart loves her Slushi, and so do all of her friends.) A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $229.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $249.99 at Walmart. $20 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)

SharkNinja also showed up to the Cyber Monday party by offering really excellent free extras. Buying the Ninja Slushi directly from Ninja for $269.99 will give you a free travel tote worth $50.

"The past two years, HBO Max offered just six months of streaming for $2.99 per month. So not only did it double the length of the discount in 2025, but with the price hike, you'll actually be saving even more." — Christina Buff, Mashable contributor

It's no surprise that some of the best Cyber Monday deals of 2025 come from Amazon.

Streaming just got cheaper: Black Friday deals on Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV, Disney+, Netflix, and more

Mashable - Mon, 12/01/2025 - 02:33

Black Friday may technically be over, but the best streaming deals are still going strong. Over the holiday weekend, we'll be hard at work bringing you the top Black Friday deals that are still live. And as we approach Cyber Monday, we'll let you know if any new offers appear.

The best Cyber Monday streaming deals at a glance: Best overall HBO Max Basic with ads $2.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal Best Bundle deal Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) $4.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal BEST Apple TV deal Apple TV+ $5.99/month for 6 months (save $42) Get Deal Best Free Streaming Deal Walmart+ members get Peacock or Paramount+ free $49/year for your first year of Walmart+ (save $49 + get a free year of streaming) Get Deal Best Music Streaming Deal Spotify Premium Free for 4 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Paramount+ $2.99/month for first two months (save $20) Get Deal Best for movies The Criterion Channel $74.99/year (save $25 with code BLACKFRIDAY25) Get Deal Best Prime Video add-on deal MGM+ and AMC+ bundle (Prime Video add-on) $3.25/month for 2 months (save $9.74/month) Get Deal Best sports streaming deal NFL Sunday Ticket for the rest of the season $48/year (save $102) Get Deal Best streaming stick deal Roku Streaming Stick Plus 4K $19 (Save $20.99) Get Deal

It's been a tough year to be a streaming binge-watcher. Almost every major streamer got more expensive in 2025, including Netflix, Peacock, HBO Max, Apple TV+, YouTube TV, Disney+, Hulu, and Paramount+. So, needless to say, we were extra excited about this year's selection of Black Friday streaming deals. We could all use some discounts, right? The good news is that even with Black Friday itself done and dusted, the deals are still available as we head into Cyber Monday.

The Black Friday sale event is well known as the best time to sign up for streaming services, thanks to serious savings on monthly or annual subscription fees. This year has been no different. If you're looking for a way to cut back on streaming costs for 2026, there's still time to take advantage of majorly discounted subscriptions.

SEE ALSO: Expert-picked early Cyber Monday deals: We found record prices on AirPods, Kindles, Lego, and PS5 consoles

Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu have all thrown their hats in the ring with Cyber Monday deals, as have plenty of other streamers via Prime Video add-ons. So you can weigh all of your streaming options for the season. Plus, you still have time to sign up. Most of these offers will be live through Dec. 1.

There are two glaring omissions from this year's Black Friday streaming offers: Netflix and Peacock. Netflix never offers deals, so this comes as no surprise. Peacock, on the other hand, typically offers one of the best Black Friday streaming deals. It's extra disappointing, as the streamer had one of the biggest price hikes in 2025. We included a way you can still get a deal on Peacock below, despite its lack of Cyber Week participation.

One thing to note: Most Cyber Monday streaming deals are limited to new and returning subscribers (as in you haven't been a subscriber in at least a month or so). If you qualify, you can lock in some serious savings on streaming apps.

Best Cyber Monday streaming deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: HBO Max HBO Max $2.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal Why we like it

In a shocking turn of events, the HBO Max Black Friday deal in 2025 actually beats its streaming deal from 2024 and 2023. This year, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for $2.99 per month through Dec. 1. That's just $35.88 for the whole year and about 73% in savings. In 2023 and 2024, the streamer only offered this discounted price for six months. So, not only are you getting double the subscription length for a discount, but you're also saving even more after its recent price hike (up to $10.99/month from $9.99/month).

The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service is one of our favorites. Not only is it home to Warner Bros. films, but also new A24 theatrical releases, a ton of excellent original series (like The Last of Us, The Pitt, and IT: Welcome to Derry), and even live sports via the B/R Sports add-on.

Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video or Hulu add-on.

Best Cyber Monday streaming bundle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu / Disney+ Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) $4.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal Why we like it

While we're pretty disappointed that Hulu didn't resurrect its 99 cents deal for 2025, this bundle deal almost makes up for it. Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can score both Disney+ and Hulu with ads for just $4.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month for both, that's $8 per month in savings or $96 total.

We saw the same bundle drop to only $2.99 during Black Friday 2024, but both streamers raised their prices this year, so the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal has been appropriately adjusted for inflation. And considering each streamer is $11.99 per month on its own, this is an excellent deal. It's also a good way to lock in a solid price for the year since Disney and Hulu will eventually be merged into a single app — with a higher price tag, no doubt. And hey, maybe we'll still be surprised with the 99-cent Hulu deal for Cyber Monday.

Best Apple TV+ Cyber Monday deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple TV+ (Prime Video add-on) $5.99/month for 6 months (save $42) Get Deal Why we like it

Apple TV+, just like several other streamers, raised its subscription cost by 30 percent a few months back, from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. So this deal, which knocks the price down to only $5.99 per month for half a year, is much appreciated. You can take advantage of this deal directly at Apple TV+ or in the form of a Prime Video add-on, meaning you need to be a Prime member or Prime Video subscriber.

Apple TV+ features a virtually all-original lineup filled with Emmy-winners like The Studio, Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show, and Oscar-winners and nominees like CODA and Killers of the Flower Moon. TL;DR: You'll get more than your money's worth with this Black Friday deal. Just don't drag your feet — it's only around until Cyber Monday on Dec. 1.

Best Cyber Monday live TV streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Sling Sling Orange Day Pass $1
$4.99 Save $3.99   Get Deal Why we like it

Sling's Day Pass is a solid way to tune into live sports, events, and shows without having to splurge on a full subscription. Sometimes you just want to watch a single game and be on your way. It's usually $4.99 for a day, but for Black Friday, Sling is offering its Orange Day Pass for only $1 through Dec. 1 at 3 a.m. ET. The Orange package includes ESPN and all its affiliates, TNT, TBS, AMC, IFC, and more. That means you'll be able to tune into live college football rivalry games on ESPN this weekend — like Georgia Tech vs. Georgia on Friday and Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee and Alabama vs. Auburn on Saturday — for just a buck.

Best Cyber Monday music streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Spotify Spotify Premium Free for 4 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Why we like it

It's not uncommon to see Amazon offering its music streaming service, Amazon Music Unlimited, for free during shopping events (this year, you can get three free months). It is, however, quite rare for Spotify to offer its Premium service for free. Through Dec. 31, new subscribers can score four free months of Spotify Premium, no questions asked. Typically $11.99 per month, that saves you nearly $50 total.

With a Premium account, you can enjoy ad-free listening, collaborate with friends in real time, download music for offline listening, get full control over your music and playlists, unlock 15 hours per month of audiobook time, and finally enjoy lossless audio. You'll also gain access to the famous Wrapped stats and new weekly listening stats.

Best free streaming deal for Cyber Monday Opens in a new window Credit: Peacock Free Peacock or Paramount+ with Walmart+ $49 at Walmart
$98 Save $49   Get Deal Why we like it

If you already have a Walmart+ membership, or if you were considering signing up to take advantage of the Walmart Black Friday 2025 sale, then you'll unlock free access to either Peacock or Paramount+ for one year. Even better, Walmart+ memberships are currently 50% off for Black Friday, so you'll pay just $49 for 12 months of access. On top of these streaming deals, you'll also get perks like free grocery and pharmacy delivery. If you're not interested in a Walmart+ membership, we're still holding out for the standalone Peacock Black Friday deal, but you can already get the Paramount+ Black Friday deal on its own.

Best Cyber Monday streaming deal with no ads Opens in a new window Credit: Starz Starz annual subscription $11.99/year for your first year (save $58) Get Deal Why we like it

While most of the best streaming deals are on ad-supported tiers, the Starz $12/year deal is completely ad-free. Usually $69.99 per year, this Cyber Monday deal drops the price down to just $11.99 per year for your first year. That's $58 in savings. There's no end date listed for the deal, but we'd suggest signing up ASAP to lock down the savings. Starz is one of the only streamers that regularly offers deals, but this is by far the best we've seen. It may not be the most popular streaming service, but it's packed with plenty of great content, including originals like the historical drama Outlander and the female serial killer tale Sweetpea, and movies like From the World of John Wick: Ballerina and The Long Walk (coming soon).

Best streaming stick deal Opens in a new window Credit: Roku Roku Streaming Stick Plus $19
$39.99 Save $20.99   Get Deal Why we like it

There are a lot of Amazon Fire TV Sticks on sale this Black Friday, but the better savings are on the Roku Streaming Stick Plus. Roku beats Amazon's competing model by $0.99, but it's also just a better device. When we put the Amazon Fire TV Stick head-to-head with the Roku, the Roku was the clear winner for its easy navigation, brilliant picture quality, and buffer-free streaming. Grab a Roku Streaming Stick Plus for just $19, saving you 52% off this Black Friday.

40 of the best Cyber Monday Apple deals live now: Record-low prices on AirPods, Apple Watches, and MacBooks

Mashable - Mon, 12/01/2025 - 02:29
The best Cyber Monday Apple deals at a glance: Best AirTag deal Apple AirTag $17.97 (save $11.03) Get Deal Best AirPods deal Apple AirPods 4 $79.99 (save $50.99) Get Deal Best Apple Watch deal Apple Watch SE, 2nd Gen (GPS, 42mm) $129 (save $120) Get Deal Best iPad deal Apple iPad, 11-inch (A16, WiFi, 128GB) $274 (save $75) Get Deal Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $738.04 (save $260.96) Get Deal

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are easily the best times to buy Apple products, and as we head into the tail end of Cyber Weekend, the deals are predictably great. Don't thank the Apple Store for that: Third-party retailers are the ones offering the biggest cash discounts. (Apple's 2025 Black Friday deal is just its usual free gift card promo, which is live through Dec. 1).

For the best selection of Apple deals, head to Amazon: At the time of writing, most of the latest AirPods, Apple Watches, iPads, and MacBooks were sitting at record-low prices there. Competitors like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are matching some, but not all of Amazon's offers.

SEE ALSO: Expert-picked early Cyber Monday deals: We found record prices on AirPods, Kindles, Lego, and PS5 consoles

If you'd happily sacrifice a few current-gen features for the sake of an extra-steep discount, check out Walmart's wares. It still has some exclusive deals on the three-year-old Apple Watch SE 2 (now just $129), the M1 MacBook Air (now $549), and the A14 Bionic iPad (now $349 with 256GB of storage).

And a little PSA: If you've been hesitating on buying, you should complete your purchase sooner rather than later. We've been tracking deals and noticed prices are already spiking and changing as the weekend goes on. For instance, the AirPods 4 with ANC jumped from their lowest price and are currently sitting at $139.99, while the non-ANC model jumped up for a record low of $69 to $79.99. Likewise, the AirPods Pro 2 were briefly cheaper but jumped up to $189.95, then $199, and at the time of writing are out of stock. Deals really don't last, especially with this brand, so grab them before they're gone.

To give you a head start on finding deals, we've scoured all of the major players' websites and rounded up the best Cyber Weekend Apple deals below. We'll continue to update it as we move into Cyber Monday, so keep checking back. In the meantime, here are the 45 best Apple deals as of Nov. 30.

Still, it remains a solid markdown (and one of the best remaining AirPods deals).

Apple's previous-gen budget wearable has a bright OLED screen, a water-resistant design, and most of the features available on the newer Apple Watch SE 3. You miss out on sleep apnea notifications, temperature sensing, fast charging, and wrist gestures, plus the always-on display. If you don't consider those essentials, the SE 2 is a bargain for only $129 during Walmart's Cyber Monday sale. That's almost half off.

The 11th-gen iPad has a 10.9-inch display, 12MP cameras, and enough power for everyday tasks. Our reviewer called it "a real steal" at its usual sticker price of $349, but you'll pay just $274 if you buy it from Amazon or Walmart this Cyber Monday.

Fast, pretty, and portable, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is our favorite MacBook for students. We didn't think it would get any cheaper than $799 this season — that was its regular sale price from August to early November — but Amazon proved us wrong not once, but twice. After dropping to $749 for Black Friday, Amazon bested its own deal yet again a day before Cyber Monday, lowering the price a few dollars more to $738.04, marking a new record low price for the laptop.

Buy an on-sale Lego set at Amazon during Cyber Monday and score 60% off Legoland tickets

Mashable - Mon, 12/01/2025 - 00:46

SAVE UP TO 60% ON LEGOLAND TICKETS: Buy an eligible on-sale Lego set at Amazon and save up to 60% on Legoland admission for up to six guests.

Opens in a new window Credit: Legoland Save up to 60% on Legoland admission with Lego purchase at Amazon   Get Deal

'Tis the season for finding epic deals. Black Friday is behind us now, and Cyber Monday is quickly approaching. And since we're scouring the internet to find you the best deals, we've stumbled onto a hidden gem at Amazon. If you like Lego sets and Legoland amusement parks, listen up.

Lego deals are always a standout during major sale events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but we've found an extra special deal this time. Three Lego sets at Amazon now come with a code that'll get you up to 60% off a future visit to Legoland. Adding to the joy of this deal, all three of the eligible Lego sets are on sale, so you're getting a double win deal here.

As of Nov. 30, buy one eligible Lego set at Amazon and score a 60% off discount for tickets to Legoland in Florida or 50% off tickets for Legoland California, New York, or Legoland Discovery Centers. All three eligible Lego sets are also part of the Amazon Cyber Monday sale and are at least 30% off.

SEE ALSO: Expert-picked early Cyber Monday deals: We found record prices on AirPods, Kindles, Lego, and PS5 consoles

Like many great deals, this one comes with some fine print that's worth mentioning. For starters, the 60% off deal only applies to Legoland Florida admission. If you prefer Legoland in California or New York, you can save 50% on admission tickets. Each Lego set purchase allows the discounted Legoland deal to be used for up to six guests.

You'll need to be speedy about booking tickets, though, because the discount code is only valid until Dec. 31, 2025. Tickets are valid to use for a visit between Dec. 1, 2025, and May 21, 2026, but Legoland has some blackout dates in March and April.

Since saving up to 60% on Legoland tickets could save some big money, you might as well buy one of the eligible Lego sets at Amazon to score the discount. Especially if your group will use all six tickets, you'll be getting a savings on tickets while essentially getting a Lego set for free.

Amazon's promotion terms for this deal mention that it's only good for as long as the three Lego Black Friday offers last. Since Black Friday is technically over, this deal could disappear at any moment. We recommend hopping on this one as soon as possible if you see a Legoland visit in your future.

While shopping for Lego deals ahead of Cyber Monday, cash in on this major savings on Legoland admission. You'll be getting a Lego set on sale and saving a ton on a visit to Legoland. It's a true Lego lover's world out there right now, and we're here for it.

Hulu Cyber Monday deal: Bundle the streamer with Disney+ for savings all year long

Mashable - Mon, 12/01/2025 - 00:39

SAVE UP TO $96: Through Dec. 1, new subscribers can get the Disney+ and Hulu bundle (with ads) for only $4.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month, this Black Friday offer saves you $96 (or 62%) total for the year. If you prefer an ad-free experience, you can score a subscription for $14.99 per month for 12 months, saving you $60 (or 25%) for the year.

Time is running out to grab one of the best streaming deals we've spotted during Cyber Week 2025.

Through Dec. 1, new subscribers can sign up for the Disney+ and Hulu bundle (with ads) for $4.99 per month for 12 months (up $2 from last year's deal). Earlier this year, the list price jumped from $10.99 to $12.99 per month, so you'll still save $8 per month or $96 total with this year's discount. This is the Hulu Cyber Monday and Disney Cyber Monday deal to pick up during this shopping season.

If you prefer an ad-free experience, you can also get a discounted subscription for Black Friday. The savings aren't quite as steep, but you'll still keep some extra money in your pocket. Usually $19.99 per month, you can get the ad-free bundle for $14.99 per month for 12 months. That saves you $60 total for the year.

SEE ALSO: Cyber Monday 2025: Live updates on the deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more

This isn't quite as good as the bundle deal we spotted on the two streamers last Black Friday, which brought the price down to just $2.99 per month for the entire year. As much as we hoped to see the return of that impressively low price, it's not exactly a surprise that it didn't. Across the board, streaming services — including Disney+ and Hulu — have raised their prices in 2025.

This offer is only valid for new and eligible returning Hulu and Disney+ subscribers (basically anyone who hasn't been a Hulu or Disney+ subscriber in the past month) through Dec. 1 (Cyber Monday). So if you want to get double the streaming for less than half the cost, jump on it ASAP. Just remember, once the year is up, you'll be charged full cost (currently $12.99/month) unless you cancel.

Hulu and Disney+ both have pretty expansive catalogs featuring award-winning original series and a boatload of movies fresh from the theater. That includes some of our favorites from the year, including Dying for Sex, Andor, Alien: Earth, The Life of Chuck, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and so much more. Psst: Taylor Swift's new docuseries will also be on Disney+ in December. Getting unlimited access to both of these libraries for only $5 each month is absolutely worth it in our eyes — even with some ads sprinkled in.

Cyber Monday is fast approaching, so be sure to grab this deal before it's gone. And don't forget to check out more of the best Cyber Monday deals live now, along with 10 Cyber Monday deals already beating their Black Friday prices.

Some dads only want one thing for Christmas: A Home Depot gift card. Well, here's something easier than picking out Christmas gifts for dads — a buy-one-get-one tool deal from the Home Depot.

Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy get a lot of attention for their annual Black Friday sales, but we're here to put some respect on the Home Depot's name. Just like last year, the Home Depot is giving away free cordless tools with eligible purchases in an epic BOGO promotion. As part of this buy-one-get-one sale, you can pick up a cordless drill, an extra battery and charger pack, a cordless leaf blower, a circular saw, and tons more tools with your purchase. The extra tool is absolutely free with an eligible purchase.

A ton of top-rated Ryobi, DeWalt, and Milwaukee products are available as freebies in this promotion. Here's an example of how it works: Add an item like the Milwaukee Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit to your cart, and then you'll be able to select a free gift with purchase. Options include a $200 portable tire inflator, a $279 nail gun, or a $199 reciprocating saw, also from Milwaukee.

An impact wrench is a clutch tool to have on hand for a variety of DIY jobs around the house (from assembling furniture to building a whole-ass patio) to car repairs. This well-reviewed model from DeWalt is sporting a 55% discount at Home Depot — one of the heftiest price drops you'll see on a power tool this Black Friday — and it comes with a free tool of your choice.

Black Friday deals on cordless tools are just as valuable to the average non-handy person as they are to DIY experts. Just imagine being able to mount your new TV on the wall without begging a friend with a drill to come over. Or being able to assemble a new piece of furniture with an Allen wrench drill bit instead of twisting the entire thing by hand.

The cheapest Shark FlexStyle Ive seen is on sale for one day only ahead of Cyber Monday

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 23:14

Save $120: The Shark FlexStyle with two attachment styles (curling barrels and the oval brush) is on sale for $159.99, down $120 from its $279.99 list price. As a Best Buy Deal of the Day, these savings will only be live through Nov. 30.

Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark FlexStyle (with two attachment styles) $159.99 at Best Buy
$279.99 Save $120   Get Deal

Since the first time I reviewed the Shark FlexStyle, I've maintained its a significantly more cost effective than the Dyson Airwrap.

Ahead of Cyber Monday, Best Buy's deal of the day savings on the Shark FlexStyle make that especially true, bringing the price of the multi-styler down to an impressively low $159.99. Granted, these savings apply to the version of the multi-styler with only two attachment styles — the two 1.25-inch curling barrels and one oval brush attachment. Still, this knocks $120 off their $279.99 list price. The Shark also sits at less than half the price of the Dyson Airwrap Origin on sale, which comes with three attachments for $399.99.

SEE ALSO: 10 Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday: Samsung's The Frame and the M4 MacBook Air

Unlike other multi-stylers on the market, Shark has a unique twisting mechanism in the base, which makes it easy to use the tool to dry hair without any specific drying attachment. With that in mind, the two included attachments feel nicely curated — curling and blowouts tend to be popular ways to style with multi-stylers. In my testing experience, these types of hair tools can also take up a lot of storage space, so if you don't see yourself wanting a lot of hot air styling versatility, this curated selection of attachments might be a huge advantage.

It is worth noting though this is the absolute cheapest price you can grab a FlexStyle, it isn't necessarily the best value. For just $40 more, you can get the full four attachment model (bought separately, attachments cost $40 a piece). Or for only $20 more, you can pick up four attachments of your choosing via the build-your-own option on Shark's website.

Still, it's not everyday you can grab a Shark FlexStyle for $159.99. If you want it at the absolute best price possible, you'll want to act before this deal is gone.

Apple gadgets have really been shining bright in the Cyber Monday deals department. The Apple AirTag has dropped to $17.97 at Walmart, which is 37% off its list price. We see excellent deals on the four-pack of AirTags pretty regularly, but single AirTag deals are rarer. The AirTag is the ring leader of Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users. As long as there's an Apple device nearby with Find My turned on, you'll be able to locate whatever you attach your AirTag to with ease.
