In honour of Thanksgiving, there’s a massive sale happening right now at Amazon for Cyber Monday. Great deals are up for grabs in all categories across the site, which is great if you want to make a huge dent in your Christmas shopping.
I shop Amazon for a living and I have four years experience of picking out the best deals for HELLO! readers, so you can trust be when I say these are the only deals worth shopping. I’ve listed them below to make it easy for you, and you can also shop the full list of deals at the dedicated Amazon US Black Friday hub
Beauty fans, please consider this a PSA - you should take Cyber Monday as the opportunity to stock up on this wonder product. I’ve tried it and I can tell you, it’s the bomb. Read my full review here. You can expect smoother softer skin in a matter of weeks. I love it.
If you’ve been eying up the Dyson Airwrap, now’s the time to act! It’s a cult fave for hair fans and with good reason. You can expect salon-worthy curls and volume, but with minimal damage to your hair. It uses aerodynamic technology called the Coanda effect, which basically means that it's mostly air rather than heat that's attracting and wrapping hair to the barrel, or surface of the brush.
Kindles are great if you’re a book fan. This all-new model comes with 32GB storage to store thousands of books and a 300 ppi high-resolution display for sharp text and images, no matter if you're reading in a dark bedroom or a bright sunlounger.
Our Head of Commerce and Lifestyle Leanne Bayley is snapping one up in the Amazon Cyber Monday sale. She says: “The latest Kindle is ultra-thin, and waterproof - which means I can read by the pool or in the bath and not deal with pages getting wet. Now, do I choose the chic new green colour or the raspberry pink?”
Ray-Ban is a brand that’s loved by celebrities from Jennifer Aniston to Princess Kate, and the unisex Aviator style is great because it suits pretty much every face shape in existence. The markdown is great so it’s definitely worth snapping up a pair in the Amazon Cyber Monday sale - sunny days will be here before we know it.
If you have a gamer in the household, this is the Amazon deal you want. I know my son goes through them at an alarming rate. They get dropped or worn out due to repeat use (google ‘stick drift’ if you don’t believe me). With this discount, they’re just about affordable
You can file Echo Dots in the ‘don’t know how I ever lived without it’ category, and this discount is impressive. Our Senior Lifestyle Editor Karen Silas loves hers. She says: “At first I just used them to set reminders and alarms, but now I use them for everything from updating my shopping list to listening to music (you can use Amazon music or connect to apps like Spotify) and having it warn me when it's going to rain. It's also easy to create routines, like starting your day with the device telling you what's in the news and on your calendar.”
Are you in the market for a new cell phone? This is the Cyber Monday deal you want in that case! Google’s top-of-the-range Android smartphone can last up to 72 hours on one charge if you use the Extreme Battery Saver mode
The cameras are also excellent - four updated pro-level cameras with a dedicated 5x telephoto lens. The pro controls unlock advanced settings and full-resolution images. The AI is great - for eg, the Audio Magic Eraser uses Google AI to reduce disruptive noises like cars and wind and highlight the sounds you want.
This is the one Cyber Monday deal I must insist on if you don’t have a pair of AirPods already or you’re in the market for an upgrade. Our reviewer loves the 'find' function as he's prone to leaving them at work, and says they fit his smaller ears perfectly compared to other brands which have fallen out or been uncomfortable. This discount is the best you’ll find, trust me.
How I chose the best Amazon deals
I have four years experience of shopping the best Amazon deals for HELLO! readers - here’s what I’m looking for:
Trends: I’m an expert when it comes to the real data on what HELLO! readers are most interested in buying specifically in Amazon sales - whether it’s big ticket items with big discounts, celebrity favorites or TikTok famous beauty.
Discount: I’m a bargain shopper myself and know what’s tempting! So I look for the highest discounts, ranging from 20% - 80%.
Top reviews: If there’s a case where I haven’t tried a product myself, I thoroughly examine the reviews. We don’t want you to be disappointed in one of our recommendations and have to return the products, so as a rule the HELLO! Shopping team won’t include products that has overal bad ratings or reviews.
