Christmas morning has officially come and gone, which means that the holiday shopping frenzy is coming to a close. But that doesn’t mean the deals have vanished completely. Several brands and retailers are still offering savings through the end of the year, which is great news if you found a shiny new gadget under the tree this year — or got some gift cards in your stocking that you’re eager to spend.
These deals won’t match the record-low prices we saw during Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but they are a great opportunity to grab yourself a new case, charger or other accessories you may need to make the most of your gifts. You’ll even find some savings on everyday essentials like groceries and cleaning supplies so you can restock your pantry on a budget as well. Either way, whether you’re buying some end-of-year gifts or stocking up on supplies, we’ve rounded up the best sales that are still active and retailers offering deals below.
Christmas Day deals
If you got a sleek and shiny new phone for Christmas — and want to keep it that way — you’ll want to get a case for it as soon as possible. Fortunately, Casetify is offering a chance to grab one for less. Now through Dec. 29, you’ll save 15% on one case, or 24% when you order two or more. Casetify makes more than just phone accessories, too. You’ll also find cases for laptops, tablets, smartwatches and other gadgets.
If you unwrapped a sleek new PS5 console this Christmas, Sony is offering a great chance to add some great new titles to your library for less. There are over 1,500 games that you can find on sale for as much as 75% off at its ongoing holiday sale. Options range from single-player adventures like Elden Ring and Spider-Man 2 to the multiplayer madness of titles like Black Ops 6.
Purple makes some of our favorite hybrid mattresses of 2024, and right now you can pick them up for as much as $400 off. Plus, you’ll save up to $600 if you bundle the purchase with a base. However, mattresses aren’t the only thing you’ll find on sale. You can also save 20% on pillows, 30% on bedding and 25% on bundles.
With Ultraloq’s smart locks, you never have to stress about whether you forgot to lock the door again. They’re equipped with a keypad or fingerprint scanner for key-free access, and support Wi-Fi connectivity so you can lock the door from anywhere using your phone. You can even give guests a temporary code for limited access.
And locks aren’t the only smart devices you’ll find on sale. You can also save up to 25% on select smart lights and plugs.
If you’re looking for a new TV to go with your new console or entertainment setup, Samsung makes some of the best models on the market. At its ongoing holiday sale, you can score slight savings on budget-friendly models like the DU7200, and high-end models like the QN90D can be found for thousands off.
If you just got a new laptop, this StackSocial deal is a great chance to make sure it’s got all the tools you need for work or school. A Microsoft Office Pro lifetime license gives you unlimited access to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Publisher and Access.
Just be aware that this license is only for a single device using Windows 10 or 11, and it must meet certain basic hardware requirements. If you’re a Mac user, there is a similar offer that scores you a lifetime Microsoft Home and Business license for $85.
Where are the best Christmas day deals?
Though most holiday sales came to a close on Christmas Eve, many retailers are determined to be the last one offering savings and there are still tons of bargains to be had. These deals won’t match the steep discounts on top tech we saw earlier this month, but you will find some savings on smaller items like cases and accessories for any new gadgets you unboxed this year. Below, we’ve rounded up the best places to shop for budget-friendly bargains on Christmas day.
Amazon sells just about anything you can think of, and with a little digging you can often find it on sale, too. You’ll find plenty of bargains on tech accessories, along with home decor, kitchen appliances, everyday essentials and much, much more.
Best Buy skews toward the tech end of things, so it’s a great place to shop for a new phone or tablet case, spare chargers, memory cards or miscellaneous cords that you may need to hook up your new TV or game console.
StackSocial is one of the few places you’ll find consistent savings on digital subscriptions and memberships. That includes everything from apps and software to streaming services and memberships at big-box stores. And because most of these deals are delivered instantly through email, it’s a great place to shop for emergency last-minute gifts if there are any names you still need to cross off your list.
Target is a great place to shop for household essentials like furniture, bedding, storage and more to help spruce up your home for the new year. You’ll also find plenty of gadgets and accessories, along with toys and games and even some everyday essentials like groceries and laundry detergent. It’s a great all-in-one place to shop if you need to resupply and refresh your house after the holiday madness.
Similar to Target, Walmart is a great one-stop shop if you need to restock some basics or just need batteries for a new toy. Plus, you’ll find plenty of supplies and decorations for any upcoming New Year’s celebrations.
Macy’s is the place to shop for all things fashion and beauty. You’ll find deals across categories, including apparel, jewelry, footwear, skincare and accessories, as well as home decor, kitchen appliances and even some electronics.
