We may be only a few days out from Christmas, but you still have time to save on popular presents without paying extra for expedited shipping. Right now, for example, you can buy LG’s 42-inch C2 OLED at Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo, and Target for around $797 ($500 off), which eclipses the TV’s previous low.

The C2 is a terrific 4K TV that touts many of its predecessor’s impressive specs, like a speedy 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, and variable refresh rate with AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync. At the same time, it boasts better performance and a brighter display than the prior C1 model, not to mention great contrast and the kind of black levels for which OLED is known. It even touts a few new features, including the ability to log in to different user profiles and a new sports setting. Read our review.

The LG C2 is available in a 42-inch configuration and is both lighter and brighter than its last-gen predecessor, the C1. It also boasts a “dark room” setting to reduce eyestrain as well as the ability to log in to different user profiles.

It doesn’t matter how old your giftee is, you can’t go wrong with Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 11. It’s our favorite instant camera for most people, and while it may struggle to capture pictures in low-light conditions like most models, it still produces clear, relatively true-to-life prints that’ll look great in an album or scrapbook. Best of all, it’s relatively easy to use, so even a child should have little trouble setting it up and taking pictures in less than five minutes.

Regularly $79.99, the Mini 11 is currently on sale at Best Buy, Target, and B&H Photo for just $59.99, which matches the camera’s best price to date. You can also buy it at Amazon for the same price, but it likely won’t arrive until after Christmas.

Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 11 is the best instant camera for most people. While it lacks more advanced features, the simple instant camera takes good-quality shots quickly and easily and offers a built-in selfie mode.

If you’re looking for a speaker upgrade to make watching movies more enjoyable at home, Vizio’s M-Series 5.1.2 soundbar is on sale for $399.99 ($100 off) at Best Buy and Amazon, though you’ll only get it in time for Christmas if you purchase it from Best Buy.

The Bluetooth-equipped soundbar is our favorite model under $500, namely due to its powerful sound and bundled speaker set. Not only does it offer full Dolby Atmos support for a more immersive experience but also it comes with two up-firing rear speakers and a six-inch wireless subwoofer (the kind you’d normally have to purchase separately). It’s a pretty no-frills Atmos system otherwise, but it does include a backlit remote control that makes it easy to flip between various audio presets and Bluetooth.

Vizio’s M-Series Dolby Atmos soundbar comes complete with a subwoofer and wired rear surround speakers — all for about $350.

If you want to gift an iPad for the holidays, why not Apple’s best? The iPad Pro is the cream of the crop, with a superior screen and better performance than other iPad models. Right now, you can buy the new 11-inch M2 iPad Pro with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage at Amazon and B&H Photo for $729 ($80 off), which is one of its best prices to date. Other models are on sale as well, including the 256GB variant, which is currently available on Amazon for an all-time low of $839 ($60 off).

The latest 11-inch iPad Pro looks similar in design to its predecessor but is slightly faster thanks to Apple’s new M2 processor. It also comes with a new “hover” feature only M2-powered iPads offer, which lets you “hover” the second-gen Apple Pencil over the display to prompt different actions. While its display isn’t as impressive as the Mini LED panel found on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, it’s still an excellent tablet with futureproof features like Wi-Fi 6E and plenty of software updates ahead of it.

Apple’s latest iPad Pro comes with the faster M2 processor and supports Wi-Fi 6E but otherwise shares the same design as its predecessor. The smaller 11-inch version, however, lacks the larger 12.9-inch model’s higher-quality Mini LED panel.

If you’re on the hunt for a good gift under $50, it’s not too late to order the Fire TV Stick 4K Max in time for Christmas. The streaming stick is still available at Amazon and Best Buy for $34.99 ($20 off) — its lowest price to date — and you can get it in time for the holiday if you choose in-store pickup from Target.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the best streaming device in Amazon’s ecosystem, one that boasts 4K resolution as well as support for HDR and Wi-Fi 6. It also works well with Amazon Alexa and offers a wide selection of streaming apps. Read our review.

$40

Amazon’s latest streaming stick offers improved performance and support for Wi-Fi 6. It continues to offer a terrific selection of streaming apps and an easy-to-use interface with the benefit of Alexa voice commands.
