A secret deal for the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart bundle sneaks its way into Cyber Monday

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 18:45

If you're looking to get the Nintendo Switch 2 for less than the $449.99 retail price on Cyber Monday, you are out of luck. No retailer has put Nintendo's latest gaming console on sale for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. And it's unlikely they're going to anytime before Christmas.

However, if you are willing to spend $449.99, Walmart is going to throw the hit game Mario Kart World into your shopping cart for free.

$499.99 Save $50   Get Deal

Walmart dropped a whopper of a deal on the Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World. The deal price is only visible if you sign in to your (free) Walmart account and add the bundle to your cart. But once you do that, Walmart is knocking $50 off the $499.99 Nintendo Switch 2 bundle retail price.

That's $449.99 for the Nintendo Switch 2 PLUS Mario Kart World.

It's basically like you're just paying for the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 console and getting Mario Kart World for free.

This is easily the best (and only) deal you're likely to come across this year on Nintendo's latest gaming console. And, the included freebie is the current best game for the console, too. Check it out before it sells out.

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 and Cyber Monday 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.

All you have to do is pick out a qualifying "main item" and the free tool of your choice will be included in your order. 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.

In total, more than 123 popular cordless tools and power tool combo kits are included in the Home Depot's Black Friday BOGO sale.

Alongside Home Depot's savings, we've also tracked down the best deals at Amazon and Lowe's. Below, you'll find the best savings on Cyber Monday for upgrading someone's cordless toolkit.

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.

Cyber Monday 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.

This is a classic Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal that DIY-ers have counted on for years. Even if you're not a DIY expert, a cordless drill can make you feel like one.

Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth is a fan of Hoto tools, and lucky for us, Amazon has tons of tool sets from the brand on sale post Black Friday. The Hoto Precision Screwdriver Set is on sale for only $59.99, down from the standard price of $99.99, which is a new record-low. This set is a must-have if you like to tinker with tech, and it comes with some really useful extras like opening picks, a pry tool, a magnetic pad, and a suction cup. Plus, you get 26 steel precision bits.

The 25+ best Black Friday PlayStation game deals still live on Cyber Monday

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 18:31

While there have been many impressive Black Friday deals for this year's showing, PlayStation titles have had an especially good showing, and many are sticking around now that we're well into Cyber Monday. We've also seen a ton of reader interest in the year's top PS5 Black Friday sales.

As of Cyber Monday, we spotted old classics on sale like Red Dead Redemption and new hits like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. We've gathered those, along with even more of the best deals we've spotted, all in one convenient list below. (Note: The deals that've been striked through are no longer available.)

Read Mashable's full review of 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.'

While there are plenty of great gaming deals available, we'd be remiss not to point out this deal on the clear The Game Awards frontrunner. If you're debating on whether or not to get it, here's what our reviewer had to say: "It’s not perfect, but it's bold, weird, and full of heart. If you're into character-driven RPGs with a distinct vibe and don’t mind a few rough edges, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is absolutely worth your time."

23 classic Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals — LifeStraw, Crest 3D Whitestrips, Sony headphones, Yeti coolers

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 18:19

Ah, Cyber Monday. I've been covering this annual sales event professionally since 2019. Because it feels like the entire internet goes on sale this time of year, it can actually be hard to know where to start shopping. We've got plenty of guides to help you out, including our regularly updated guide to the best Cyber Monday deals of 2025.

As I write this, you have less than 24 hours to shop, as all the big retailers are ending their Cyber Monday sales soon. Over the past week, many of the best products of the year got their first real discounts, including the Sony XM6 headphones, Google Pixel Watch 4, Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, and Apple M5 MacBook Pro laptops. But what about those classic products that never go out of style? I'm talking about viral hits like Bissell's Little Green Machine or Yeti coolers.

In this story, I'll share all of my favorite classic Black Friday-Cyber Monday deals. Year after year, I've counted on these deals when making recommendations to friends and family. Whether you're shopping for Christmas gifts or treating yourself, you can find massive savings in this guide.

If you're looking for classic deals, it doesn't get more classic than cheap deals on air fryers. Remember a few years ago, when everyone was buying those egg-shaped Dash air fryers? (I still have one.) This year, we'd recommend going with Ninja, which has some popular appliances on sale at Amazon. Needless to say, we're big fans of Ninja appliances here at Mashable.

Kindles Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite $124.99 at Amazon
$159.99 Save $35.00   Get Deal

Kindles usually go on sale but twice a year: Prime Day and Black Friday. And now that the holiday shopping season is finally here, you can pick up Kindles starting at just $79.99 at Amazon. However, my advice would be to spring for the Kindle Paperwhite, which we've named the best Kindle for most people.

Apple AirTags Opens in a new window Credit: unknown Apple AirTags (4-pack)  

Initially marked down to $67.99, Amazon went even lower, and you can now pick up a 4-pack of Apple AirTags for just $62.99. Whether you use these Bluetooth trackers to keep track of your personal belongings or your toddler, it's time to restock.

Crest 3D WhiteStrips Opens in a new window Credit: Crest Crest 3D WhiteStrips teeth whitening treatment $29.99 at Amazon

As sure as the sun rises in the sky, Coleman will mark down its four-person tents to under $85 during an Amazon sale. This Cyber Monday is no exception.

LifeStraw emergency water filters Opens in a new window Credit: LifeStraw LifeStraw Personal Water Filter Straw $9.99 at Amazon

In keeping with the outdoor theme, LifeStraw always has big discounts across the board come Black Friday. Their deals start cheap — for less than $10, you can grab their original personal water filter. And for a little bit more, their updated Peak Series straw is on sale for $18. If you need stocking stuffer ideas, try these Black Friday classics.

Apple AirPods Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods 4 $79.99 at Target

For at least the last couple of years, Amazon has used Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Prime Day as an excuse to drop AirPods down to a new record-low price. And this year, they dropped even lower than we expected. Best Buy, Walmart, and Target all dropped prices on these wireless earbuds down to $69 $79.99, though this price is now only available at Target.

Bissell Little Green Machine Opens in a new window Credit: Bissell Bissell Little Green $84.99 at Amazon
$123.59 Save $38.60   Get Deal

The upholstery cleaning powerhouse, otherwise known as the Bissell Little Green, can be found on sale year-round, but reliably, Cyber Monday Day brings it down to its lowest price point. If you're shopping early to make holiday hosting easier, this little cleaning machine could be a godsend.

Echo speakers Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Echo Pop smart speaker $21.99 at Amazon

Amazon Echo speakers provide the cheapest entry fee for smart speaker life. Just like with Kindles, Amazon doesn't miss a chance to mark them down during the big sale — the cheapest one you can grab is the Echo Pop at just $24.99.

Yeti doesn't do sales like other brands. So scoring actual discounts on the outdoor brand's coolers and drinkware isn't easy. However, there is one foolproof trick. During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Yeti always discounts one color across its entire product line. For Cyber Monday 2025, it's firefly yellow.

Jackery Explorer power stations Opens in a new window Credit: Jackery Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station $349 at Jackery

We love power stations here at Mashable, as they're extremely useful companions for music festivals, camping trips, and tailgate parties. They also come in clutch during power blackouts. I've had a lot of good experiences with Jackery, and the brand's Explorer power stations are at record low prices over at Amazon, as they always are during Cyber Monday.

Legos aren't just for kids anymore. All the '90s kids who grew up playing with Legos are now adults, and they still like building. Lego now makes an entire line of awesome Legos for adults. And whether you're shopping for your 8-year-old kid or yourself, you can find a ton of Lego building sets on sale at Amazon, Walmart, Target, and the Lego Store.

These tiny speakers are the best Bluetooth speakers under $100, even at full price. And while they dropped to $66.49 for Prime Day 2025, you can now pick them up for the ridiculous price of $59.99. Not only are they fully waterproof (you can take them in the shower), but they sound louder and clearer than you'd expect for a speaker of their size.

Sony's flagship noise-cancelling headphones always get a discount on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and in 2025, both the new flagship XM6 model and the previous-gen XM5s are on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and elsewhere. I tested these headphones head-to-head for Mashable, and while the XM6 makes some key improvements, they're pretty iterative improvements. So, if you're looking to save some cash ahead of the holidays, don't hesitate to get the older version.

Somehow, in the tariff era, TV prices keep getting lower. Why should TVs prove to be so immune to tariffs? Hey, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. This year, you can even grab a 32-inch Amazon 2-Series Fire TV for just $99.99. And if you want a better display and more smart features, the 55-inch 4-Series is also on sale.

I've probably written this sentence a hundred times: Samsung's The Frame is the best TV in the world right now. While Samsung does have some premium OLEDs with better displays and sound, the balance of features and unique art gallery function makes The Frame truly unique. Often imitated, this art TV has an ultra-thin design and a unique anti-glare matte display you won't find anywhere else.

Nespresso machines are a step above your typical Keurig. Several steps up, actually. And it's rare to find these espresso makers on sale for under $100 — unless it's Black Friday. Pro tip: This is also a good time of year to stock up on coffee and pods.

If you're a Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales veteran like I am, then you know Samsonite luggage sets always get big discounts at Amazon this time of year. In fact, I'm pretty sure these are the exact Samsonite bags I got for Christmas a few years ago. They've taken me everywhere from Palm Springs to Kyoto. They may not be the most stylish bags, but who cares if they get you where you're going?

Dyson Supersonic

I'm vain about my hair, and the Dyson Supersonic is the hair dryer I use every day to get the perfect coif. I've been using this legendary hair dryer for years, but its full $519 price tag can really hurt. That's why you should only buy this ionic hair dryer during Black Friday or Cyber Monday, when it gets its annual discount. If you shop directly at Dyson, you'll pay just $379 and get five attachments with your purchase.

There is literally no better time of year to buy a new Apple laptop than right now. The entire MacBook lineup has gotten a discount at retailers like Best Buy and Amazon, from the relatively ancient M1 MacBook Air to the newest M5 MacBook Pro. Our recommendation for most people? The M4 MacBook Air, currently $250 off at Amazon — its lowest-ever price. This laptop was just released earlier this year, so unless you need that M5 chip for running large AI models or editing videos professionally, go for the Air.

Finally! A good deal on the iPad Mini just dropped during Amazons Cyber Monday sale

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 18:08

SAVE $150: As of Dec. 1, catch the Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro) for just $349. That's officially the device's lowest price ever, knocking saving $150 on its list price of $499 for 30% off.

Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro, WiFi, 128GB) $349 at Amazon
$499 Save $150   Get Deal

I'm not gonna lie, iPad deals were perfectly fine this Black Friday, but not especially impressive. Basically, they were the same deals we saw during Amazon's October Prime Day. But Cyber Monday has brought an exciting iPad deal that's finally something to write home about.

As of Dec. 1, the Apple iPad Mini with A17 Pro chip is down to $349. That's the lowest price the 8.3-inch tablet has ever hit. It provides significant savings of $150, making it 30% off its $499 list price.

The iPad Mini doesn't get a whole lot of love, but having tested my way through all of Apple's iPads and the biggest names in tablets, it's maybe my favorite iPad model. The biggest difference between the iPad Mini and other iPads is the size. It features an 8.3-inch display, smaller than the typical 11-inch display of the other tablets.

With a smaller size, it's great for readers, who want a tablet to enjoy e-books on but won't feel awkward and oversized to hold. But beyond reading, you can play games, stream, and even get a little work done thanks to A17 Pro chip that powers the iPad Mini.

Get the Apple iPad Mini for just $349 at Amazon on Cyber Monday and save $150.

Stranger Things and KPop Demon Hunters get Netflix yule logs

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 17:46

For those of us without a fancy fireplace, nothing sets the festive mood quicker than a yule log streaming from your TV. This year, Netflix has three themed virtual fireplaces for you inspired by three major 2025 releases.

Announced on Monday, Netflix's new yule logs are based on Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters, and Wednesday, with Easter eggs hidden in the hour-long streams. They're no Fast and Furious yule BBQ, but they're neat.

Featured Video For You Here's the only 'Stranger Things' recap you need to prepare for Season 5 Stranger Things Cosier than the Upside Down. Credit: Netflix

For Stranger Things, back with its fifth and final season, there's a throwback to the original Byers' living room from Season 1 and the coded string of lights that helped get poor ol' Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) out of the Upside Down. This one has a neat Easter egg in it, as the Upside Down threatens to overtake your own living room.

How to watch: Stranger Things' yule log is streaming on Netflix.

SEE ALSO: 11 burning questions we have for 'Stranger Things' Season 5, Volume 2 KPop Demon Hunters We all know what Gwi-Ma wants for Christmas. Credit: Netflix

For KPop Demon Hunters, it's a glowing purple fireplace based on the underworld residence of the demon king Gwi-Ma (Lee Byung-hun). This one is quite foreboding and more fireplace-adjacent than the others but it features instrumental versions of the songs we literally couldn't quit this year.

How to watch: KPop Demon Hunters' yule log is streaming on Netflix.

Wednesday Send yourself to the principal's office. Credit: Netflix

Finally, for Wednesday, it's the formidable and shadowy open-mouthed fireplace in Principal Weems' (Gwendoline Christie) office at Nevermore Academy, which changed hands to Principal Dort (Steve Buscemi) in Season 2. This one feels more like a Halloween yule log, but the fire has a strong crackle to it.

How to watch: Wednesday's yule log is full of woe and now streaming on Netflix.

It's not the first year Netflix has launched yule logs, with fireplaces available to stream themed around the Regency riches of Bridgerton, the Continental stone of The Witcher, an adventure campfire à la Spellbound, and even the particularly non-cosy Squid Game, if you want to feel like The Front Man over the holidays.

Everything you need to know about Walmart Cyber Monday 2025: Closing time, best deals, Walmart+ perks

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 17:07

Black Friday had its turn; now it's on to Cyber Monday. Once upon a time, Black Friday was reserved for in-store shopping, while online shoppers ruled the day on Monday. Now, the two sales blend together, with one key difference: Cyber Monday marks the final day of Walmart's big holiday sales event.

Walmart's one-day Cyber Monday event takes place today, Dec. 1. Walmart+ members got early access to the top deals and doorbusters, some of which are already sold out. So, here's everything shoppers and Walmart+ members need to know about Walmart Cyber Monday 2025.

Walmart's top Cyber Monday deals at a glance: Apple AirPods 4 with ANC $99 (save $80) Get Deal Hisense 55-inch H5 Series 4K Roku TV $168 (save $110) Get Deal Magic Bullet Essential Blender $16.94 (save $23.05) Get Deal PlayStation 5 Digital Fortnite Flowering Chaos bundle (825GB) $399 (save $100.99) Get Deal Fitbit Inspire 3 $69.95 (save $30) Get Deal Apple Watch SE, 2nd Gen (GPS, 40mm) $129 (save $120) Get Deal "Elden Ring" (PS4) $15 (save $44.99) Get Deal JLab JBuds Lux $27 (save $52.99) Get Deal Gourmia French Door Air Fryer $57 (save $72) Get Deal Lego Icons Blacktron Renegade $59 (save $40.99) Get Deal

While Amazon dominates the online space, Walmart is where you go to shop for low prices in person. If you prefer to avoid shipping costs and want to go hands-on with products before buying, most Walmart stores are open during their regular hours for the remainder of the holiday shopping season. Whether you like to shop online or in person, many Black Friday-Cyber Monday deals are still live in-store, online, and in the Walmart mobile app — at least, for now.

Now, let's get down to business

When does Walmart's Cyber Monday sale start?

Walmart's Cyber Monday sale began at midnight ET on Dec. 1. This sale takes place exclusively online and ends at midnight ET tonight, making this a 24-hour event.

Walmart Cyber Monday sale: Early access

As per usual, Walmart+ members got early access to Walmart Cyber Monday deals. Starting at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday night, Walmart+ members got to shop exclusive deals at the Walmart website. This gave members the opportunity to grab Walmart doorbuster deals and other popular products before everyone else. Now, the deals are live for everyone.

To encourage shoppers to sign up for Walmart+, the big box store is still offering 50% off Walmart+ memberships. Normally $98 a year, you can pay just $49 for a 1-year membership (alternatively, you can take advantage of the usual 30-day free trial). Walmart+ comes with free delivery, and not just for online purchases. You also get free grocery and pharmacy delivery. Finally, you get free access to either Peacock or Paramount+.

No — Walmart won't price-match other retailers' Cyber Monday deals, and it doesn't offer retroactive price adjustments. However, if something you bought there recently gets cheaper later on during its Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales, you can always just return it and rebuy it. Under Walmart's extended holiday return policy, most items purchased in stores or online from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 are returnable until Jan. 31, 2026.

Remember, Walmart isn't the only mega-retailer hosting a holiday sale. The Amazon Cyber Monday sale is also underway, and you can shop the latest deals now.

Rage bait named word of the year

Mon, 12/01/2025 - 16:48

Every December, Oxford University Press encapsulates the previous year with one word and crowns it word of the year. This year, the winner of that honor is not so much one word as it is two words: rage bait.

You might be familiar with rage bait if you've spent any time at all online this year, but in case you need a refresher, it's defined as "online content deliberately designed to elicit anger or outrage by being frustrating, provocative, or offensive, typically posted in order to increase traffic to or engagement with a particular web page or social media content."

"As technology and artificial intelligence become ever more embedded into our daily lives—from deepfake celebrities and AI-generated influencers to virtual companions and dating platforms—there’s no denying that 2025 has been a year defined by questions around who we truly are; both online and offline," Casper Grathwohl, the president of Oxford Languages said in a press release.

SEE ALSO: What does '6-7' mean? Here's why kids are saying 'six, seven' over and over.

Rage bait won the official Oxford Word of the Year 2025 after language experts shortlisted it along with "aura farming" and "biohack." Then, more than 30,000 people voted for the winner and experts finally chose rage bait after considering the votes, general public commentary, and an analysis of lexical data.

"The fact that the word rage bait exists and has seen such a dramatic surge in usage means we’re increasingly aware of the manipulation tactics we can be drawn into online," Grathwohl said. "Before, the internet was focused on grabbing our attention by sparking curiosity in exchange for clicks, but now we’ve seen a dramatic shift to it hijacking and influencing our emotions, and how we respond. It feels like the natural progression in an ongoing conversation about what it means to be human in a tech-driven world — and the extremes of online culture."

Now you might be thinking "But wait! Rage bait is two words. Is Oxford University Press rage baiting us with the choice of 'rage bait' for Word of the Year 2025?" But you would be wrong. Word of the Year can be a single word, two words, or a whole expression as long as the expert lexicographers believe it has just a single unit of meaning.

And rage bait certainly has that single unit of meaning.

Last year's Word of the Year was brain rot. Here's to hoping 2026 contains something more hopeful.
