Nothing’s smartwatch is on sale for Prime Day, marked down to $79, which is a 20% discount on its usual price. The Watch 3 Pro has enough bells and whistles — fitness tracking, ChatGPT integration, sleep monitoring, to name a few — while remaining relatively straightforward. It’d be a nice gift for any fitness enthusiast in your life.
TonieBox

The TonieBox could be the perfect, cute speaker for the kid in your life. It’s deliberately simple and cuddly, while also featuring the “Tonie” characters that sit atop the speaker and tell different stories, introducing kids to characters. Reviewers and their children at Mashable really loved the TonieBox.
Bose QuietComfort headphones

The Bose QuietComfort headphones are Mashable tested and approved. I can personally attest to their quality — I wear mine pretty much the entire workday. Right now, the Bose QuietComfort, over-ear headphones are 43% off for Prime Day. You can snag a pair for $199, down from its usual $349 price tag.
KitchenAid stand mixer

Yes, this is a pricey gift. But it is a gift for life, and the cook in your life will greatly appreciate it. KitchenAid is pretty much the standard in stand mixers. You can get one on Prime Day for $379, which is $120 in savings. Anybody who spends significant time in the kitchen will get use out of this gift, but bakers, especially, would appreciate the time-saving capabilities offered by a KitchenAid.
Tile trackers

As a person who misplaces everything, Tile trackers could be the perfect stocking stuffer. During October Prime Day, a four-pack of the popular trackers is on sale for $57.99, marked down from $83.99. You can help a loved one never lose their stuff again.
iPad, A16 chip, 11-inch Model
Opens in a new window
Who couldn’t use an iPad? Now might be the time to get one — the 11-inch model with an A16 chip is on sale for $279 for Prime Day. That’s a 20% markdown. Reviewers at Mashable called it “a great entry-level tablet” that’s designed “for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading.” I’d argue that’s how most folks use their iPad, meaning this would make a great gift.
Otium headphones

Are these the best headphones? Nope, not even close. Are they reliable and nearly indestructible? Yes. And on sale for $15.99, they’re perfect stocking stuffers for the runner or gym rat in your life. I’ve written about previous iterations of similar headphones, and they’re pretty much all I’ve worn for running or walking for over five years. These headphones have gotten me through multiple marathons, survived the washing machine, and been drenched with rain. They’re also inexpensive, so should you lose them, it’s not the end of the world.
Cuisinart air fryer, toaster oven
Opens in a new window
Cuisinart is a reliable, trusted kitchen brand, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal on an air fryer/toaster oven than this model on sale for $99.99. That’s a 55% markdown from its typical $219.55 list price. It can do pretty much anything the home cook needs: air fry, toast, bake, broil, or keep a dish warm. It’d be a welcome gift for your cheffiest loved one.
