Does Amazon do a Cyber Monday sale? Everything to know about the 2025 shopping event.

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 08:39

Although Black Friday gets most of the attention as far as shopping holidays go, Cyber Monday is definitely still alive and well. The National Retail Federation coined the term 20 years ago when in-store shopping and online shopping were very separate things. The lines have become a bit blurry between the two in 2025, but technically, there are still two separate events that fall back-to-back on the calendar — and you bet Amazon is taking full advantage of both.

Here's what you need to know about Amazon's Cyber Monday sale in 2025.

When is Cyber Monday 2025?

Cyber Monday always falls on the Monday following Thanksgiving and Black Friday. In 2025, it falls fairly late on the calendar. With Thanksgiving slated for Thursday, Nov. 27, and Black Friday on Friday, Nov. 28, Cyber Monday is officially happening on Monday, Dec. 1, this year. Of course, many sales will already be live ahead of the official start date.

Does Amazon do Cyber Monday sales?

Amazon would never pass up an opportunity to dish out deals to consumers. This year, Amazon's Cyber Monday sale will officially kick off on Nov. 29 —two days early — and run through Dec. 1. It will essentially pick up right where Black Friday leaves off.

Like Black Friday, Amazon will feature "millions of deals across popular categories" during its Cyber Monday sale. Those include everything from kitchen appliances and Apple gadgets to headphones and Amazon devices. Holiday essentials will also see significant discounts, with up to 50% off artificial Christmas trees, seasonal decor, and select electronics.

Mashable's shopping team is tracking all of the best deals at Amazon on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Check out our official Cyber Monday shopping hub once the sale begins on Nov. 29.

Is Black Friday or Cyber Monday better on Amazon?

With Cyber Week lines blurred beyond recognition, many deals will cross over from Black Friday to Cyber Monday. Of course, there are always some exceptions. We tend to see steeper and more widespread TV discounts for Black Friday. They're also more likely to sell out before the calendar flips to Cyber Monday. Meanwhile, we recommend waiting until Cyber Monday if you're shopping for a laptop or PC. We've seen better computer deals pop up in the latter half of Cyber Week in years prior.

A good rule of thumb to ensure you're getting a great deal on either shopping holiday is to check camelcamelcamel — Mashable's favorite shopping tool — for price history details from Amazon.

NYT Pips hints, answers for November 30, 2025

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 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.

NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for November 30, 2025

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 04:00

Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be easy if you watch CONCACAF.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections: Sports Edition?

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

NYT Strands hints, answers for November 30, 2025

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 04:00

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you love to stick together.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

Hurdle hints and answers for November 30, 2025

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 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.

Black Friday has ended, and Cyber Monday deals have started — at least at Amazon. There are tons of deals online for you to grab, including the Day One Edition of Silent Hill f on either PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.

Silent Hill f is the latest entry in Konami’s Silent Hill franchise. It takes place in a fictional Japanese town named Ebisugaoka in the 1960s and follows a young girl named Hinako Shimizu. As her town is taken over by a horrifying and nightmarish fungal infestation, she has to escape by solving puzzles and fighting off against gruesome monsters. It has multiple endings, significantly increasing its replay value.

Silent Hill f typically goes for $69.99, so don’t miss out on getting it for $49.94 this Black Friday weekend. It’s one of the best games of this year, if not the best horror game of 2025.

Im a pet owner, and these are the best Black Friday air purifier deals to snatch up before theyre gone

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 03:22
Best Cyber Week air purifier deals Best deal overall Dyson HushJet $297.49 (save $52.50) Get Deal Best budget deal Oneisall Double-Sided Pet Air Purifier (PP02) $89.99 (save $90) Get Deal Best three-in-one deal Blueair ComfortPure $299.98 (save $200.01) Get Deal

I have two beagles, and even though they’re not super “hairy” dogs, I still have to clean my floors twice a day (they shed uncontrollably — there’s literally dog hair on my walls, baseboards, and sometimes even my ceilings depending on how much roughhousing they’ve been doing.) So, in hopes of keeping the dander down and my robot vacuum from overworking itself, I’ve decided to go on a quest to find the best air purifier for pet parents who don’t want to spend a fortune but still need to breathe during the day without sucking dog hair up their nose.

SEE ALSO: The best Black Friday Dyson deals: Our favorite stick vacuum, air purifier, and hair tool are on sale

After months of price tracking and hands-on testing (I, along with other Mashable staff, have been putting various air purifiers through their paces), I’ve found the best air purifier Black Friday deals that are running into the Cyber Weekend.

Best deal overall Dyson HushJet $297.49 at Amazon
$349.99 Save $52.50   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Walmart Get Deal at Best Buy Why we like it

The deal: The Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact is on sale for a record-low $297.49, saving you $52.50 off its $349.99 list price.

As you've probably gathered by now, we're Dyson stans here at Mashable, and the Dyson HushJet earned a Mashable Choice Award with a 4.6/5 score. It's super quiet and super effective. Our Senior Shopping Reporter (and vacuum expert), Leah Stodart, ran it 24/7 in her apartment and says she forgot it was on. "My home simply smelling like nothing is kind of a dream," Stodart writes in her review.

But the real win here is the convenience: The HushJet’s filter is designed to last for up to five years, making it the perfect lazy person's air purifier since you don't have to worry about recurring filter purchases. It captures 99.97 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns, and the MyDyson app gives you a live look at your air quality data, so you'll know exactly when invisible pollutants are a problem.

Best budget deal Oneisall Double-Sided Pet Air Purifier (PP02) $179.99 at Amazon
Get 50% off with on-screen coupon. Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

The deal: The Oneisall Double-Sided Pet Air Purifier (PP02) is currently 50% off with an Amazon coupon, bringing the price down from $179.99 to $89.99.

The Oneisall Double-Sided Pet Air Purifier (PP02) isn’t super fancy, but it’s effective. According to the manufacturer, it captures up to 80 percent more pet hair than competitor air purifiers, and it has a double-sided intake, so it can purify the air from two directions. Whether it actually purifies 80 percent more pet dander isn’t something I can quantifiably verify, but I can say that this little thing gets rid of odors fast. I’ve decided to keep it in my front bathroom (where their puppy pads are). Plus, the little cat cutout on the front lets you see just how much pet hair is being collected, so you know when it’s time to clean the filter.

This purifier uses a triple-layer filter system that includes a washable pre-filter (a big money saver), a HEPA filter, and a high-density activated carbon filter. There’s a smart sensor right on top that uses a color code (green, yellow, or red light) to let you know when your air quality is subpar. The only feature I wish it had is an app.

Best three-in-one deal Blueair ComfortPure $299.98 at Amazon
$499.99 Save $200.01   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

The deal: The Blueair ComfortPure 3-in-1 Air Purifier is on sale for $299.98, down from $499.99. That's a 40% discount and a $200.01 savings.

If you're looking for an air purifier that multitasks as a heater and a fan, this one's for you. This model is truly versatile because it eliminates the need for separate gadgets. Mashable's Lauren Allain found that the heating function did a "great job" in a chilly basement, confirming that the unit's ability to quickly warm a room up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit more than earns it a spot next to the holiday dinner table. This is a powerhouse of a machine that pulls its weight year-round, purifying the air while heating or cooling.

She also notes that the Blueair app is "super impressive" and gives you complete control over your environment, including real-time air quality, temperature, and filter status. In fact, the remote control is so useless next to the "spectacular" app that she tossed it. Plus, this purifier is lightweight and features a convenient fabric carrying handle, which makes it easy to haul this unit between rooms as needed.

The Bose QC Ultra headphones and earbuds have long been some of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones. The new second-generation versions are out, and we love them even more than the original flavor. However, while the new headphones are pricey (even when they're on sale), the new Bose earbuds have been marked down to $216, which is a lot more reasonable, though not their lowest price ever. These earbuds are supremely comfortable and feature elite active noise cancellation

"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 Black Friday 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.

Apple gadgets have really been shining bright in the Black Friday 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.

This year has been a doozy when it comes to the cost of simply existing. Shopping Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals is a smart move if you're trying to save some money this year. In all fairness, the Black Friday sales have blown us away with just how good they are. Not to mention, they haven't fizzled out just because Black Friday is officially over.

But if you're not impressed with a measly 20% off sale, maybe a 50% off sale will do the trick. Somehow, we're still seeing these epic deals across tons of categories like kitchen appliances, Lego sets, headphones, and more. Stuff you actually want for yourself or to give as gifts this holiday season might very well be half off right now.

As a journalist, I'm better at words than I am with numbers, so I'm cheating a bit here, and I've included deals that are 47% off or more. I understand that doesn't qualify as a full half-off, but a few deals that hover at 47% or 48% were just too good to disqualify.

If you're hoping to snag a super great deal before Cyber Monday, here's a curated list of some excellent deals that'll save you (about) 50%.

In any case, snagging this model at Amazon will save you a sweet 48% compared to the list price of $129.95. Plus, if you gift this ice cream maker over the holidays, you're in line for a VIP invite to the summer ice cream social.

"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)." — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

You get to build three stunning insects that'll add a colorful pop to any room as we head into the dark winter months.

This is cheating a bit because we're looking at a 47% discount, but snagging a pair of Apple AirPods 4 for just $69 is one of the standout Black Friday deals this year. At this price, grab a pair for yourself, another pair for when one earbud goes into the washing machine, and one more to give as the best stocking stuffer of the year.

This year has been a doozy when it comes to the cost of simply existing. Shopping Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals is a smart move if you're trying to save some money this year. In all fairness, the Black Friday sales have blown us away with just how good they are. Not to mention, they haven't fizzled out just because Black Friday is officially over.

But if you're not impressed with a measly 20% off sale, maybe a 50% off sale will do the trick. Somehow, we're still seeing these epic deals across tons of categories like kitchen appliances, Lego sets, headphones, and more. Stuff you actually want for yourself or to give as gifts this holiday season might very well be half off right now.

As a journalist, I'm better at words than I am with numbers, so I'm cheating a bit here, and I've included deals that are 47% off or more. I understand that doesn't qualify as a full half-off, but a few deals that hover at 47% or 48% were just too good to disqualify.

If you're hoping to snag a super great deal before Cyber Monday, here's a curated list of some excellent deals that'll save you (about) 50%.

If you're searching for a holiday gift that's likely to be a hit for almost anyone, an ice cream maker is a great bet. The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Machine is a workhorse of a kitchen appliance that'll allow you to become your own ice cream artist — or you can also go the sorbet or frozen yogurt route. In any case, snagging this model at Amazon will save you a sweet 48% compared to the list price of $129.95. Plus, if you gift this ice cream maker over the holidays, you're in line for a VIP invite to the summer ice cream social.

Black Friday is wrapping up, but that doesn't mean we've taken our foot off the gas. In fact, we're charging forward to Cyber Monday.

Since Black Friday has technically passed, many retailers, including Amazon, are now shifting their attention to Cyber Monday. This is great news for you, as it means you have a little extra time to shop online if you didn't get to it yesterday. Basically, if you see a product marked as a 'Cyber Monday deal,' it's likely to stay on sale through Dec. 1.

We're seeing a bunch 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, deals are selling out and increasing in price. Overnight, the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC rose to $139.99 from $109.99. To track last-minute Black Friday prices, plug a product URL into camelcamelcamel, the Mashable shopping team's secret weapon for finding the lowest prices at Amazon.

The last-minute Black Friday and early Cyber Monday deals are live, and you don't have time to waste. We'll be updating this page with new Amazon deals as they drop, so keep checking back through the end of Cyber Weekend. Of course, it's worth checking out the best deals from competing retailers like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart to make sure you're getting the best deal (we curate our lists to only include deals that are the actual best ones across retailers). If you don't feel like scrolling through all of that, you can keep up with the best deals across the internet with our live deals tracker or get them texted straight to your phone.

We've been waiting for this one: During Black Friday, the base model AirPods 4 hit a record low price of $69 at Amazon, and the price is holding strong as we head into Cyber Monday. This is a frankly absurd price for Apple wireless earbuds, which somehow have gotten more affordable in the age of inflation and tariffs. But word of caution, we've seen the price on the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC go up and up, so if you see the AirPods 4 without ANC at $69, grab them before they're gone.

Gift it to the reader in your life or snag one for yourself to stay entertained during holiday travel. It's also fully waterproof, so you can take it along to the pool or on your tropical winter vacation.

It’s a known fact of the universe that Amazon devices get serious discounts on Black Friday (and Prime Day, for that matter). 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 every color besides Black has sold out.

The new Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is one of my favorite portable power stations to hit the market this year. Anker's new Gen 2 models focus on portability, and the C1000 Gen 2 is shockingly easy to carry around at 25 pounds. It's a great model for taking to the campground or keeping in the garage in case of power outages. Thanks to Amazon's lingering Black Friday sale, this model is down to a new record low, and as we head into Cyber Weekend, it's maintaining that low price.

If you're looking for the most comfortable noise-cancelling headphones on the market, you want the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, and right now, they're on sale for $299. Since we spend plenty of the day listening to music, podcasts, or streaming YouTube, there's good reason to invest in a super comfortable pair. Of course, they'll make for a special gift this holiday season, or consider it a gift of self-care to get yourself through holiday travel. But this deal is selling fast through Cyber Weekend, as the $299 price is only available on the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones in deep plum.

The Apple Watch SE 3 earns the top spot on Mashable's list of the best smartwatches. The SE 3 is the first SE model to come with an always-on display. Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "In addition to its gorgeous OLED display, it has the same S10 chip inside the Ultra 3, the same water resistance as the Series 11, and all the necessary features you're looking for in a smartwatch." All of that now comes in at under $200 thanks to this Black Friday sale at Amazon.

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 lingering Black Friday 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.

This Black Friday season 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 is looking to buy this 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.

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 $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 on Black Friday, 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.

For Black Friday — 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.

Black Friday wouldn't be Black Friday without deals on toys, and Legos on sale are an absolutely crucial building block of Black Friday toy deals. 2025 has already seen a strong wave of Black Friday Lego deals, and you might break a sweat trying to keep tabs on which retailers have which set — unless you're reading Mashable's daily curated list of the best Lego deals from across the internet.

Lego sets we've seen on sale so far include coveted Lego Star Wars (including sets retiring soon), Wicked Lego sets, Lego Botanicals, and more, almost all at record-low pricing. If one catches your eye, grab it while it's still available.

The adorable Grogu with Hover Pram set is expectedly sold out after an incredible 50% discount. But that was hardly Amazon's only good Lego Star Wars deal. While it's not nearly as massive as the now-retired Imperial Star Destroyer that goes for $1,000 on eBay, the smaller Imperial Star Destroyer set is still 18 inches long and still in mega demand — and now at a record-low price as an Amazon Cyber Monday deal. Mini figures include Darth Vader, Commander Praji, an Imperial Gunner, Imperial Navy Trooper, a Stormtrooper, and the one that has fans in a spiral: the ultra-rare Cal Kestis mini fig.

Target's official Black Friday sale started on Nov. 23, and with it came several new Lego deals we hadn't seen the week prior. A few of our favorite early Black Friday Lego deals at Target sold out quickly, so if you see a must-have on sale, this may be your last chance to grab it!

If you're still side-eyeing the whole "TikTok Shop" thing, I totally get it. It can feel a little sketch, and you're not always sure where most of the stuff is actually coming from. But I'm here to tell you, some of what's on there is actually legit, and TikTok is offering a new incentive that might make you reconsider.

Now through Dec. 8, US shoppers can get $15 off purchases of $45 or more when paying with Venmo at checkout. What's even better is that this Black Friday offer can be stacked with other eligible discounts, so you can get the best possible deals.
