The holiday season is full of surprises. Whether they come in the form of visits from unexpected guests (see our holiday survival guide) or last-minute family movie nights, they're sure to keep you on your toes. But in our opinion, there's no better surprise than a *huge* holiday sale, like the one happening at Amazon right now. It's filled with deals on some of the best-selling products of the year, which, of course, all make for great last-minute gifts that you can count on to arrive on time. So if you missed a must-have during the Black Friday madness, you're bound to find the items you've been eyeing on sale at Amazon—but not for long.

To get you started, we scoured hundreds of deals and found items that are on everyone's wish list this Christmas. That includes the Dyson Airwrap ($600; $499), which is a straight-up lifesaver when it comes to reducing flyaways, frizz and the amount of time it takes to style hair (mhm, we tested it). And as if it couldn't get any better, we spotted a deal on the original Peloton bike ($1,445; $1,245) that fitness fanatics swear by. So prepare to fill up your cart with these 20 gifts for everyone on your list (including yourself), that are currently available for a steal.

We'd be surprised if you're not up-to-date on this hot-ticket item. It's racked up more than *six billion* views on TikTok alone, which tells us it's still one of the best hair tools you can buy. It's all thanks to its innovative Coanda airflow technology, which effortlessly wraps your strands around the barrel without using extreme heat, so you can pull off salon-quality blowouts in less than 20 minutes. No, seriously, we tested the viral hair tool ourselves and found it to be incredibly efficient when curling our hair, plus the results lasted longer compared to other hair tools. And since it comes with several attachments that can tackle many hair concerns, it's a fabulous buy for anyone hoping to banish frizz, amp up the volume or simply save time when they're doing their hair.

There's no doubt an Apple Watch will impress anyone on your list with all its bells and whistles, which include sleep monitoring, exercise analysis and crash detection. We can keep going on about how it's also swim-proof so your giftee can track their laps, or the fact that the battery lasts up to 18 hours, but we really love that it allows users to send texts, take calls and use Apple Pay all from their wrist. It's a great way to ensure your person stays connected and prepared for anything while they're on-the-go.

If you or someone on your list is traveling for the holidays, you should definitely consider scooping up this lightweight Samsonite carry-on for over 40 percent off. It meets most airline requirements to fit in the overhead and features a TSA lock to keep everything secured throughout your travels. Plus, it has a full-zip interior divider to help you stay organized, as well as 360-degree spinner wheels, which allow you to move quickly for that last boarding call. In other words, as one reviewer says, "If you're in the market for reliable, stylish and functional luggage, the Samsonite Winfield 2 is the way to go." Oh, and did we mention the 10-year warranty? P.S. This sale price is only available to Prime members, so be sure to sign up for free if you haven't done so already.

A holiday party just isn't a holiday party without music, are we right? That's why you *must* snag this compact, portable speaker to get things turned up. Just so you know, it's waterproof, so you don't have to worry if your cousin spills something on it. Despite its small size (weighing in at under a pound), the device packs quite the powerful punch when it comes to volume and sound quality, according to buyers. And it won't die on you in the middle of the party—a single charge gives you up to *five* hours of playtime, per the brand. Since it's Bluetooth-enabled, anyone can control it from their phone, so you can sit back and relax while your guests take turns playing their favorite Christmas songs. Time to get the party started!

Style meets substance in this modern cookware set featuring all the pieces every home cook needs. Fashioned from granite for prime durability and nonstick cooking, the pieces clean up easily and cook evenly, per one reviewer who also raves that "being able to place the handle wherever you want makes pouring super easy!" This 11-piece bundle includes 8- and 10-inch frying pans, 2- and 3-quart saucepans and a 4-quart sauté pan as well as two fridge storage lids, two silicone lids and two removable handles to take the vessels straight from the oven to the dinner table. Yep, they're oven-safe, too, y'all!

These magnetic tiles are *very* intriguing among youngsters, making them one of the most popular toy gifts of 2023. They're not just guaranteed to provide a child with hours of play and endless construction possibilities, but they're also educational, helping kids learn colors, shapes and more. "[This set] has been one of our most used toys," one reviewer shares. "We have had [it] for about two years now, and the tiles have held up very well, even though my kids like to play rough with them." Say no more.

Wanna take family game night up a few notches? Then you'll want to have this all-in-one virtual reality headset on hand. It delivers a completely immersive gaming experience that uses 3D positional audio, hand tracking and haptic feedback to transport users into a digital world that looks and feels real (no lie!). "There are so many games and apps and things to do and see, a lot of it free," one reviewer raves. "This can consume one's daylight hours easily just exploring where to begin or finding favorite games to play." In that case, it also makes a great gift for the gamer in your life.

It's about time you bought a Vitamix if you haven't already. Buyers swear you won't regret it since it makes chopping and blending a breeze with ten variable speeds and durable stainless-steel blades. The 48-ounce container also comes in handy for tackling large batches of smoothies, soups and more. "[It's] one hell of an engine and easy to operate. I would buy again at this price tag," one Amazon reviewer adds. And lest we forget to mention the pulse feature, which will be of great assistance when you feel like making heartier recipes. Meanwhile, its powerful 2Hp motor helps the blades chop through tougher ingredients like whole carrots and nuts. Like we said, it's about time you scooped one up.

Everyone you know owns a Fire TV stick, and for a good reason. This clever device lets you browse through Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and more with just the touch of a button—or a voice command to Alexa. So, there will be no more typing or scrolling through menus thanks to this gadget that provides a hands-free way to enjoy your shows. Why else do you think it's accumulated more than 363,000 5-star reviews, which also mention its impressively crisp picture, fast app launching and easy setup? Name a better gift for the TV fanatic, we'll wait.

For those who prefer to take a more hands-free approach to cleaning, opt for the iRobot Roomba 694 robot vacuum this holiday season. It runs for 90 minutes, lifting dirt, debris and dust from carpets and hard floors (shout out to its dual multi-surface brushes) in a three-stage cleaning system. You can even schedule cleanings on the iRobot Home app, so it'll get to work even when you're not at home. Plus, it detects dirtier areas in your home (like the high-traffic entryway) and handles them like a boss, similar to how it identifies stairs so that it won't fall down and break on you. For under $200, it's a steal!

You don't need to be a dental hygienist to swoon over this sleek cordless Waterpik. We love that it uses water pressure to painlessly remove plaque (up to 99.9 percent of it, per the brand) from hard-to-reach areas in our mouths. So, if you hate flossing as much as we do, you may like this method better. Since it's battery-powered, it's also really easy to travel with (it even comes with a travel bag and tip case to store everything). Most importantly, though, it has a stamp of approval from the American Dental Association (ADA), so you know you'll be making your dentist proud after every cleaning. Need one more reason to smile? The fact that you can save some dough on it now should do it.

An awesome gift for coffee enthusiasts, this espresso machine features an Integrated Conical burr grinder to get the freshest cup and PID temperature control for precise coffee extraction. So, while it's a splurge, it's worth every penny if your giftee hopes to cut back on their Starbucks runs and feel like a real barista right at home. Just take it from one buyer: "This machine is not only easy to use but also heats up quickly, making my mornings a breeze. The stylish design adds a touch of elegance to my countertop, and the large water tank means I don't have to constantly refill it."

So you love UGG's classic boot designs but not the brand's hefty prices. We feel you, and that's why we're putting you on to Koolaburra by UGG, an offshoot of the brand that's a touch more affordable (and on sale!). Right now we're eyeing this particularly popular suede style with cutesy (and very on-trend) bow detailing. While they feature a synthetic fleece lining, you can expect them to be just as warm, cozy and wonderful to walk in as more than 9,000 happy reviews have, which is all that really matters.

The Peloton experience is just as fun and motivating as a group cycling class, but comes with the added benefit of being able to sweat your butt off in the comfort of your own home. Other perks include easy-to-use delta-compatible pedals, a resistance knob to push yourself, a 2-channel and rear-facing stereo speaker system to blast your workout classes (of which there are thousands), a ten-point touchscreen to get in the zone with the help of famous instructors (assuming you have the $44 All-Access monthly membership) and a built-in microphone to actively participate in virtual classes. So if you've got New Year's fitness resolutions (or shopping for someone who does), look no further than this must-have bike.

If your goal is to get organized in the new year, it wouldn't be a bad idea to snag this BPA-free plastic container set now while it's on sale. It comes with 14 food storage vessels and covers that have a 4-hinge locking system, along with labels to keep them conveniently marked and organized. Spotting your go-to snacks and keeping the pantry tidy has never been easier.

Since these leggings boast more than 21,000 5-star reviews, it's safe to say they are a hit with shoppers. We aren't too surprised, though, since they feature a wide elastic waistband for tummy control, a stretchy-but-supportive polyester and spandex material and a fleece lining that's reportedly warm and thick (so you can go ahead and wear them through the winter). As for the *three* included pockets? They'll definitely come in handy when you jog to your nearest coffee shop and need to keep your phone and cash on hand.

Is it time to replace your current toothbrush? This upgrade has three cleaning modes: Daily Clean, Gum Care and Sensitive to get the job done. More impressively, its pressure sensor alerts you when you're brushing too hard to protect gums, and its two-minute timer ensures a thorough cleaning each time. But here's why one buyer is obsessed: "[It] has [a] good battery life and reduces [the] speed when [the] battery is low. It never stops mid-brush. When it slows, finish brushing and then charge."

Ideal for any kiddo who's 3 years old+ and obsessed with Barbie, this newest playset (currently on sale for under $150) comes with 75 pieces to assemble the character's three-story Dreamhouse. And trust, this isn't your childhood dollhouse—this baby's even got a working elevator! Needless to say, you should expect your kid to disappear for hours as they set up and play with all the pieces, which also include a spiral slide, a pool and a swing. When can we move in?

One customer shares, "This was a great investment for me. I learned a lot about where my ancestors originated, and I learned a lot about what various diseases I am at risk of developing in the future." We think that's priceless, but we'll gladly take the $100 discount on the kit, which includes a one-year premium membership to the service. Wondering how it works? It's actually quite simple. All you have to do is gather a saliva sample to send in for free testing, then you register your account online. In about five to six weeks, you'll be able to read up on everything they find out from your DNA. You'll even have the chance to connect with other relatives who’ve taken the test, which can be a fun thing for you and your family to do together this holiday season.

Charcuterie boards are nice to have on hand, especially during the holiday season when you've got hungry guests. This eco-friendly option is made from beautiful bamboo that's easy to clean, according to buyers. However, you'll be most impressed with the slide-out trays (one of which holds included utensils), which expand to hold even more cheese and crackers. It also comes with two ceramic bowls, two ceramic plates and more goodies for just $54 when you apply the coupon.
