The last day of 2024 seems like a perfect reason to splurge on some goodies for yourself. And thanks to Amazon’s daily deals, there are plenty of great gadgets on sale. From Apple to Cricut to Echo, there’s a little something for everyone — even those who want to jumpstart their 2025 taxes.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. Don’t see anything that lights you up? Check out our selections from yesterday, Dec. 30. Many of those deals are still live, like a $50 discount on the Fitbit Versa 4.
Our top pick: Apple Watch Series 10
If you’re looking to hit the ground running in 2025, an Apple Watch makes a great companion. The Series 10 hit its best price ever during Cyber Week and post-holiday madness, it’s back at that same price. Snag the 42mm, GPS version for just $329 instead of $399 or the 46mm, GPS version for just $359 instead of $429. That’s 18% in savings. Compared to previous iterations, the Series 10 features a thinner and lighter build, a larger display with a built-in speaker, faster charging (one of the biggest selling points for our reviewer), and new health and fitness features like sleep apnea alerts, water temperature, and depth sensing. We wish there were bigger upgrades, but all in all, it still holds up as one of our favorite smartwatches and fitness trackers.

Amazon Echo Buds
The budget-friendly Echo Buds from 2023 completely overhauled the design of the previous version. They’re very simple earbuds, but they hold their own — especially at sub-$50 price point. They don’t offer noise cancellation or have the most comfortable fit on the market, but they sound great, last up to 20 hours, are simple to use, and seamlessly pair with your other Alexa gadgets. As Mashable reviewer SaVanna Shoemaker noted, “For the price, the Echo Buds are a solid pair of wireless earbuds.” Snag ’em while they’re still sitting at their record-low of $24.99. That’s 50% in savings.

Cricut Hat Press
Looking to jumpstart a new hobby in 2025? The Cricut Hat Press could be a fun place to start, and it’s on sale for only $79 as of Dec. 31. That’s nearly 50% in savings and its best price ever. The smart heat press features a 5 x 3-inch curved, ceramic-coated heat plate that provides edge-to-edge heat and lets you tackle iron-on, infusible ink, and sublimation projects. With the included hat pressing form, you’ll automatically have the ideal pressing surface. Choose from three heat settings, set time and temperature settings, and play around until you get the best results. The machine even includes three hats to get you started.
TurboTax Deluxe 2024 Tax Software
It’s that time of year again, y’all. Sure, we’re not even into 2025 yet, but it’s time to start thinking about filing your taxes. If you plan on filing your own taxes, this deal on TurboTax Deluxe can help you save some money and stress. The Deluxe software is recommended for homeowners, those with high medical expenses, and those who make multiple charitable donations per year who need to file both federal and state returns. It includes five federal e-files and one state file via download, plus you’ll even get live tax advice from experts as you prepare your return (with a fee). Not to mention, it’s cheaper than filing online through TurboTax. Usually $79.99, the Deluxe software for Mac or PC is on sale for just $55.99 as of Dec 31. Get ahead of the game and save 30%.

Amazon Echo Pop Kids
The kid-centric version of the Echo Pop is a fun (and budget-friendly) way to introduce your kids to Alexa via age-appropriate content, stories, audiobooks, and music. Our friends over at PCMag (which is also owned by Ziff Davis) named it “Amazon’s top smart speaker for children” and gave it the PCMag Editor’s Choice badge of honor. It only comes in Disney-licensed designs — Disney princess or Marvel — but if you’ve got a kid who loves Disney, you’re in luck. It’s usually $49.99, but it’s on sale for just $22.99. That’s a savings of 54%, which is still its lowest price on record.
