Hanes Men's Max Cushioned Crew Socks 12-PackHanes Men's Max Cushioned Crew Socks 12-Pack
Store: Amazon
Price: $12
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Lowest By: $8

There is no denying that socks as a gift are unexciting but any time I've gotten pairs as a present I've thought to myself "how neat", "yes I will wear those", and "no I wouldn't have ever thought to buy socks for myself for some strange reason." Therefore I can safely and reasonably assume that everyone else's experience is identical to mine, which means that this Hanes 12-pack working out at $1 per pair is marvelous stuff and someone in your life has a lovely feety gift in their near future. And though you may be tempted to purchase them for yourself, do remember that such things aren't allowed as previously established. We must follow the rules, lest chaos overwhelm.



Open Box Herman Miller Chairs at eBayOpen Box Herman Miller Chairs at eBay
Store: eBay
Discount: Up to 52% off + up to extra $45 off
Shipping: Free shipping
Expiration: December 16

"SAVETHISHOLIDAY" is both the coupon code you'll need to apply to save up to an extra $45 here, and also the name of my spec script for a DealNews-adjacent holiday movie where a young and handsome roundup writer has to step into Santa Claus' shoes after Ol' Nick himself has to take the season off to treat his long-ignored but suddenly life-threatening gout, and so everyone's holiday gifts are exclusively items that have appeared on the DealNews dot com homepage. Most studios who have been offered the option have called it "baffling" and "did you accidentally email me a recipe for Texas chili instead of your script?" and reader, the answer was yes. But also, you can get $15 off $300, $25 off $500, or $45 off $700 by using it as a coupon instead of a clever title for the best movie never made.



Amazon Stocking Stuffer DealsAmazon Stocking Stuffer Deals
Store: Amazon
Discount: Up to 50% off + extra 20% off 5 or more
Shipping: Free shipping

Everything here seems like a quality stocking stuffer, with perhaps the exception of the Mio water flavor gimmick, which seems like some groceries, and Trident gum, which seems like a pointed comment. But otherwise, you've got the good stuff: Bop It, Boggle, action figures, KoЯn-branded guitar strings, and The Mandalorian-branded socks. All the makings of a quality Yuletide morning. And, hopefully, none of that unflavored water for clowns.



T-Shirts at WootT-Shirts at Woot
Store: Woot! An Amazon Company
Price: Four for $28
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Lowest By: $32
Expiration: December 14

The thing about clothes is, barring any offbeat lifestyle choices, you gotta wear 'em. So you might as well stock up when you get the chance. Woot (an Amazon company, lest we forget) has a whole bevy of T-shirts at your disposal for just such a stocking up. That's right, a bevy. A cornucopia. A bounty. I can use whatever word I want because there's no agreed-upon collective noun for T-shirts. YET.

Among these garments is this "Feliz Naughty Dog" T-shirt, which not only isn't a reference to the Last of Us and Uncharted video game developers, but also doesn't come close to matching the pun-work of Lifetime Christmas movie "Feliz NaviDAD", wherein Mario Lopez plays a single dad whose daughter encourages him to date again, right in time for the Christmas acapella war, which, sure, we've all had one of those. Directed by Sabrina the Teenage Witch, too. I watched it on Disney+, which I'm sure will make you think, much like me, that if it had been made by Disney in the first place, they could have gone all in on the wordplay by making Mario Lopez's character one of the blue-skinned alien dudes from Avatar — a Na'viDAD. Bonus points if everyone else in the movie remains resolutely human, but never mentions that Mario looks like a member of the Blue Man Group who's been run through a pasta machine. But alas.

All of which is to say, add four T-shirts to your cart to get this discount.



Open-Box Major Appliances at Best BuyOpen-Box Major Appliances at Best Buy
Store: Best Buy
Price: From $467
Shipping: Pickup

I know what you're thinking. "Open-box major appliances? Won't the fridges, like, fall out during delivery?" But rest assured, Best Buy has been through the wars, and won't make that mistake twice. Have you ever heard the tale of Delivery Guy Markus the Flattened? It's not a tale the Geek Squad would tell you. But never mind Flat Markus — instead, point your eyes towards these discounted appliances from brands like LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool. The kinds of big names you associate with incident-free appliance delivery.



Breville Barista Pro Espresso MachineBreville Barista Pro Espresso Machine
Store: Amazon
Price: $625
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $55

Rumor has it that the Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine at Amazon is a low by $55 on this very day and also at the best price we've seen it for. Further rumors suggest that it has dose grinding control, optimal water pressure, and a three second heat up time. Lastly, intelligence suggests that talking about this espresso machine in combination with mentioning Sabrina Carpenter might be good for SEO. Consider it done.
