I feel stupid making this thread because I don’t currently have anything to contribute to it yet, but I am looking for Christmas presents so I thought people could share if there is anything they find that is worth buying.
I will contribute a little bit of a tip though for anyone here who is into shopping this time of the year.
I would highly recommend only purchasing sale items that have already existed. What I mean by that is do research on the SKU, particularly on the manufacturer’s site.
I would say the best and most common example of this is TV’s. Many big box stores get specific models with a custom SKU that they are sent for Black Friday (and Black Friday only) to get people in the door. They are not the same quality products that the manufacturer normally produces.
Anyways, if you find anything, post away. I will also be looking and posting anything I find that’s worthwhile.
I lied, I just looked and I found some that aren’t too bad.
Chromecast for $25 Google Store | Walmart | Target | Staples | Best Buy
This is not a once in a lifetime deal but normally these are set at a pretty standard price of $35 and every once in awhile they go on sale for like $30. If I remember correctly, they are this price every Black Friday.
SONOS PLAY:1 speakers for $149.99 (available in black or white) Best Buy | Amazon
This price is honestly still a little steep. SONOS is always really expensive but they rarely go on sale, are easy to use, completely wireless and actually sound really good. For $50 off, they wouldn’t be a bad thing to buy for just some simple speakers to put next to a TV if you can’t afford a full surround system.
Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD for $249.99 Newegg | Amazon
Not much to say here. Best SSD manufacturer around and it’s the lowest price it’s ever been. Warning: Do not rush to buy something like this if you aren’t quite needing it. SSD prices are constantly falling and the price will be this low again. This is more for people who were already wanting one.
Roku 3 for $49.99 Best Buy
This appears to be sold out online already but they may have them in stores or other sites. This is a fantastic alternative to the Chromecast that I listed above for the price. Great little streaming box.
Netgear Nighthawk Router (AC1900) for $119.99 Best Buy | Newegg | Amazon
Amazing price on one of the best (sensible) wireless router that money can buy. Lowest price ever and these things are fantastic. I am actually considering buying this myself now that I see this deal.
