Last-minute shoppers have it easy in 2024. Not only are there plenty of gadgets still on sale at Amazon — some even at record-low prices — but many of them will still arrive by Christmas. Brands like Echo, Garmin, Anker, and more are still offering deals up to 55% on Dec. 18, and we’ve rounded up a few of the best ones.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these are your cup of tea, be sure to take a peek at our selections from Dec. 16 and Dec. 17 as well. Most of those deals are still live, including nearly half-price Beats Studio Buds and a $40 price drop on the Fitbit Charge 6.
Our top pick: Amazon 55-inch Omni Fire TV
Currently $50 cheaper than Amazon’s new 4-Series 4K Fire TV in the same size, the Omni Fire TV offers a very similar package. With a slim bezel, vivid 4K Ultra HD, HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Plus, and hands-free Alexa control, it’s a great pick for a home theater experience that won’t break the bank. With a compatible webcam, it even supports two-way video calling. Usually $549.99, Prime members can snag it on sale for just $339.99 with the code 55OMNI. That’s a savings of 38%.
Not a Prime member? You can sign up for a free 30-day trial to snag this deal. Otherwise, it’ll run you $369.99, which is still a pretty solid deal.
Echo Dot with Echo Buds
Knock off two gifts from your list with this bundle deal that includes the fifth-generation Echo Dot and the Echo Buds. A $99.98 value, you can snag both at Amazon for just $44.99 as of Dec. 18. That’s less than the cost of either device on its own at full price — or 55% in savings. The Echo Dot is designed to seamlessly add smart benefits into your daily routine. It’s small enough to slide onto your nightstand or bookshelf and can be used to receive reminders, save recipes, set timers, schedule tasks, communicate with friends and family, light up your room, listen to music, or play some soothing white noise to help you fall asleep. The Echo Buds are a solid pair of budget-friendly wireless earbuds that sound great, are simple to use, can last up to 20 hours with the charging case, and seamlessly pair up with your other Alexa devices, including the Dot.
Garmin Forerunner 255S
A gift for the runner in your life that’ll really wow them, the Garmin Forerunner 255S is on sale for a record-low of $239.84 at Amazon as of Dec. 18. That’s 31% in savings. The Forerunner 255S offers in-depth training and recovery insights to help runners of all types reach their goals. It can last for 12 days in battery mode and up to 26 in GPS mode, and packs a built-in triathlon feature and over 30 different activity profiles. It also features training readiness scores, personalized suggested workouts for race prep based on the race and course you input, morning reports with an overview of sleep, recovery, and training outlook, and more. And of course, when you’re not in training mode, it also serves as a solid smartwatch.
Amazon Luna controller
“An excellent gamepad that provides the optimal Luna game-streaming experience,” as our friends at PCMag (which is also owned by Ziff Davis) wrote in their review, the Amazon Luna controller is on sale for only $44.99 as of Dec. 18. That’s 36% off its usual cost. The biggest standout with this controller is its separate WiFi connection, which reduces input lag as you play. Technically, it’s just an optional add-on for the Luna gaming experience, but PCMag called it a “must-have” and even granted it a coveted Editors’ Choice award.

Soundcore Space A40 noise-cancelling earbuds
Our sister site PCMag also tested out the Soundcore Space A40 earbuds, writing that they “deliver quality active noise cancellation and balanced, detailed audio for a modest price” in their review. These buds offer 50 hours of audio playback, a fast-charging feature that gives you an additional four hours of battery life from 10 minutes of charging, and adaptive noise cancellation you can customize inside the app. On sale for only $44.99 — down from the usual $79.99 — it’s hard to beat these budget-friendly buds. Snag ’em for their lowest price on record as of Dec. 18.
