Only a little over two weeks separate us from Christmas, which means its crunch time for securing gifts for those on your list. If you missed out on shopping during Cyber Week, all hope is not lost for scoring a deal. In fact, plenty of Black Friday prices are live once again at Amazon. We've helped you out by rounding up a few of the best deals we think are worth adding to your cart on Monday, Dec. 9.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these catch your eye, be sure to check back each day this week for brand new selections.
One of our favorite Bluetooth speakers, particularly for smart homes, is back on sale at its Black Friday price of $359 (reg. $449). It's not exactly the most portable option for a Bluetooth speaker, but what it lacks in portability, it makes up for in impressive stereo sound, 24-hour battery life, and dynamic smart features. Plus it looks sleek and comes in both black and white options. As Mashable's Stan Schroeder writes in his review: "This speaker is one of the best in class, and the quality of sound it produces is reason enough to consider it."

If you're looking for budget earbuds that can quiet the world around you, the Amazon Echo Buds with active noise cancellation are basically a no brainer. Originally released in 2021, they feature a comfortable build, effective noise cancellation, solid sound quality, and average battery life. "I'd call them a steal for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the world of ANC without setting their wallet on fire," writes Mashable's Alex Perry in his review of the buds. And that was at their full price of $119.99. As of Dec. 9, they're back down to their best-ever price of $34.99 — that's 71% in savings.

The Garmin vivofit jr. 3 is designed to get kids excited about moving their bodies. This particular model uses Disney princesses to motivate kids to achieve active minute goals and unlock entertaining app adventures, games, and icons. The parent-controlled app is also a bonus for moms and dads who want to keep their kids safe. It can be used to assign tasks, schedule alerts and alarms, and reward kids for good behavior. Usually $89.99, it's on sale for just $69.99 as of Dec. 9. That's a savings of 22%. Not a Disney fan? There's also a more simplistic model (also on sale) that features a "Garmin world tour" instead of the magical kingdom.
Amazon quietly released a new Fire HD 8 tablet in October and it's seen numerous discounts since. As of Dec. 9, it's back down to its best-ever price of $54.99 — that's 45% in savings. Compared to the 2022 model, the latest Fire HD 8 includes 50 percent more RAM for boosted performance (3GB instead of 2GB), a better camera (5MP vs. 2MP), new generative AI-powered features, and a better price. It also didn't fix what wasn't broken; it packs the same display, storage options, and battery life as its predecessor.
Our favorite Roku streaming device, the Roku Ultra, is on sale once again. Usually $100, it's down to just $79 on Dec. 9, which is a savings of 21%. More powerful than the Roku Express 4K Plus, Roku's premium streaming device features a quad-core processor that offers smooth HD, 4K, and HDR streaming on a zippy interface. It comes with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision support, a microSD slot for storing and streaming external media, an Ethernet port, and the Roku Voice Remote Pro with customizable shortcut keys.
