9 Last-Minute Deals on WIRED-Approved Gifts That Will Arrive In Time

’Twas the night before the night before Christmas, and a certain someone still has shopping to do. Fear not. We’ve managed to rustle up some super-last-minute discounts on WIRED-approved gadgets and gizmos that you can purchase on sale and pick up in time to save the holidays. Everything listed below has stock available for pickup or next-day shipping. If none of these will do, check out our list of digital gifts and extremely last-minute gifts.

Note that your mileage may vary based on your location. If your local big box store is all out of something, I’m very sorry. But maybe next year we’ll both have our life together before the 24th. (I’m not done shopping yet either.) Good luck!

Last-Minute Deals

It’s our favorite iPad, and it’s on sale. The 10th-gen Apple iPad (7/10, WIRED Review) offers even better value at a discount, and it’s (theoretically) available in many fun colors. It’s got a modern design, USB-C charging, and tons of compatible accessories. It’s snappy and has decent cameras, and most importantly, it’s readily available.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends) top our list of the Best Noise-Canceling Headphones. They have truly excellent noise cancellation, plus great call quality. Overall, the sound is sparkling and punchy, and the design is sleek while maintaining a comfortable fit. We wish the battery life was a bit better, but it’s difficult to go wrong here, especially at this price.

This little MagSafe charger is an honorable mention in our MagSafe Power Bank Buying Guide. It works well, and the 5,000-mAh capacity can top off most phones from dead to full at least once. The power bank is on the chunky side, and it works with non-MagSafe phones thanks to the included attachment. Anyone on your list could probably benefit from a phone charger.

The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is our favorite streaming stick for most people. It’s fast and easy to set up—simply plug it into your TV’s HDMI port. This model includes a voice remote so you can hold the microphone button down and speak your wishes into the ether. The Roku interface is easy to navigate, even if your giftee isn’t the most tech-savvy. And there are lots of free channels, so they can binge all of Antiques Roadshow or How It’s Made. Or Mr. Beast videos, if that’s their thing.

The Apple Watch Series 10 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the Best Apple Watch, period. We really wish it had blood oxygen sensing like most other fitness trackers. But it does have a suite of health metric tracking and smart features, including basics like steps and workouts all the way up to Breathing Disturbances tracking, which can help detect sleep apnea. It also has Fall Detection and the new Vitals app. If you’re on a tighter budget, you can also save on the second-generation Apple Watch SE for $229 ($50 off) which is a very great buy at this price.

The Dyson Airwrap (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is an excellent multifunctional hair tool featured in our Curling Irons Buying Guide. This gift bundle comes in the pretty blush-colored Strawberry Bronze color that doesn’t go on sale very often. It comes with a variety of attachments and accessories, including two barrels, three round brushes, a smoothing dryer, a carrying case, and more.

Dyson’s V15 Detect is the very best Dyson vacuum. It weighs less than 7 pounds, and it’s easy to maneuver around tight corners and your household’s various nooks and crannies. It can run for 60 minutes at a time, and there’s a sensor that automatically adjusts suction levels based on the current cleaning task. This model also has the neat neon-green laser that can help you spot missed dust particles, making it a particularly good vacuum for folks with allergies.

The Ninja Creami (6/10, WIRED Review) is one of our favorite gifts for the home chef, and this price is even better than what we saw during Cyber Monday. Your giftee will be able to whip up all sorts of homemade ice cream, gelato, and sorbet, but this machine is also capable of making protein-rich treats, as evinced by the subreddit full of creative recipes. It’s on the large side, but with all that homemade goodness, it earns the space it takes up.

The Pro X 2 is the best wireless gaming headset we’ve tried. And we’ve tried many! The over-ear headphones can use Logitech Lightspeed for ultrafast wireless audio, but they can also pair via Bluetooth. They’re compatible with computers, phones, and consoles. There’s even the option for a wired connection. The sound quality is good, the voice quality is good, and the fit is good. The price could justifiably be higher, but luckily it isn’t—especially thanks to this discount.
