Finding that one big gift to put under the tree for Christmas is not only a challenge because your teenager won’t tell you what they want—it’s also a challenge because stuff is downright expensive these days.

A new phone costs a grand and headphones are a third of that—not to mention the luxury items we want and don’t necessarily need. Amazon Prime’s Big Deal Days event, taking place now through October 11, has steep discounts on some of the hottest Christmas gifts of the year, whether you’re shopping for your kids, your partner, or yourself. Here are our editor-recommended picks.

AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

While it’s true that there are better headphones on the market (like my even cheaper Sony WH-1000XM4s), the Apple Airpods Max over-ears are some of the most popular—especially for teens and college students. These trendy headphones aren’t bad, either, with excellent noise-cancellation and seamless integration with Apple devices.

Best of all, they’re 13 percent off today—a decent price you aren’t likely to see again until Black Friday. We’ve seen these headphones dip below $450 on occasion, but today they’re a reasonable $480 and they come in all the pretty colors your Instagram-obsessed tweens want.

Ninebot eKickScooter ZING C8

What kid doesn’t want a zippy electric scooter for Christmas? And what parent doesn’t want to pay less than $125 for it?

This Segway Ninebot scooter is quick, but not too quick—it maxes out at 11.2 mph to keep your kiddo safe, and they can only get about 6 miles away with it, so it’s perfect for riding around the neighborhood.

If you’re shopping for an older kid or an adult, there are steep discounts on Segway’s other offerings, as well as several scooters our editors recommend for commuting and getting around town.

Kindle Scribe (64 GB)

Got a partner or child who loves their beat-up Kindle? This swanky new thing is the perfect thoughtful gift for the reader and writer in your life—they can use it to sketch ideas, jot down notes, journal, and, of course, read books.

This thing is discounted to its lowest price ever for Prime Big Deal Days, clocking in at $330 for the device with the premium pen option and the highest storage available (64 GB). For a gift under $300, the smaller memory model with the basic pen is also on discount.

Gravitrax Starter Set Marble Run

Best Products’ parenting editor, Cat Bowen, spends most of her year trying out toys. According to Bowen, one of this holiday season’s hottest gifts for kids is going to be marble runs—the creative blast of fun from Ravensburger.

Kids (and adults) can create tracks for their marbles that seem to defy gravity and teach physics foundations at once, and the toy passes the STEAM test for helping kids develop an interest in science.

Magical Misting Crystal Ball with Interactive 8-inch Blue Plush Toy

If your kids watch YouTube, they’ve probably long been lusting after Magic Mixies toys—but those suckers are expensive. For Prime Day, you can snag the Magical Misting crystal ball for $31—64 percent off the normal price.

This toy really makes me want to be a kid again, with a swirling crystal ball with a fortune-telling pet inside. Your little ones cast a spell, watch the crystal ball react, and then get to play with their pet forever—all for $54 less than it was a few days ago.

Marvel Hulkbuster 76210 Building Set

Whether your older teen is a Lego aficionado or your spouse is a kid at heart, this Lego Hulkbuster is sure to please. It comes with more than 4,000 pieces to put together over (probably) weeks, with light-up elements and movable joints that make this into a supersized action figure.

For Marvel and Lego fans alike, this is a slam dunk for this holiday season—and it’s 45 percent off today, ringing in just under $300.

Solar Generator 300

Solar generators are one of the best solutions to come to the camping/overlanding space in the last few years. These sunshine-powered devices are cheaper than ever, but they still cost a buck—this Jackery one, which our editors recommend for its user friendliness and reliability, is usually $599.

Today, for Prime members, it’s $349, which means you can snag a life-changing Christmas gift for the outdoors enthusiast in your life for much less than usual. Best of all, this comes with one solar panel to charge it, which usually adds another $80 to $100 to the cost.

FlexStyle Air Drying and Styling System with 6-Piece Accessory Pack

I don’t know how we fell into a reality where the best hair care devices are made by vacuum brands, but honestly, the trend makes sense. While Dyson had the beauty industry in its clutches with the Airwrap for a few years, Shark has come back with an equally impressive hair dryer that impresses some beauty experts even more—and it’s cheaper.

Whether you’re a doting hubby looking for a gift to spoil your long-haired wife, or you’re simply sick of hearing the loud dryer each morning (this thing is quiet), you can grab the Shark FlexStyle for just under $300 right now—that’s half the price of the Dyson Airwrap—and it comes with six attachments for curling, straightening, blowing out, and diffusing your locks. (If you’re on a budget, the viral Revlon One-Step does almost as good of a job and it’s under $30 today.)

V12 Detect Slim Origin Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Buying your spouse a cleaning product as a gift is almost always a bad idea—almost. This Dyson stick vacuum is a genuinely great deal at $440, which is the lowest we’ve seen it. It makes cleaning up after dinner that much easier since you can use it to spot-clean the floor or pop off the handheld part to de-flour the countertop after making bread.

This vacuum comes highly recommended by our editors, winning accolades for the best cordless stick vacuum and the best Dyson stick vacuum. If you promise to use it, this could be an excellent gift for your partner or messy college student.

Enameled Cast Iron Signature Iron Handle Skillet (10.25-Inch)

If your loved ones spend their time in the kitchen, it’s time they own a Le Creuset (or, you know, any enameled cast iron). The enamel means you can get beautiful sears and deglaze your pan without leeching off that iron taste, and they look damn good on the stovetop.

We usually see some deals on Le Creuset around Black Friday, but this 10.25-inch pan for $176 is a steal any day of the year. You can also opt for the $120 9-inch option, or choose from a range of aesthetically pleasing colors.
