Amazon deal of the day: The new Fire TV Soundbar Plus just got its first discount
If you're a last-minute holiday shopper (guilty), you'll be happy to know there are still tons of deals at Amazon just waiting around for you to add to your cart. Sure, they're not quite at Black Friday level, but they're still definitely worth grabbing. Brands like Kindle, Fitbit, HP, and Amazon Echo are still offering discounts up to 43% as of Dec. 17 — and we've rounded up the best ones.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these are your cup of tea, be sure to take a peek at our selections from Dec. 16 as well. Most of those deals are still live, including nearly half-price Beats Studio Buds.
Our top pick: Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus
The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar debuted last year as a budget-friendly way to upgrade your home theater experience. The Soundbar Plus, which just debuted last month, takes your setup to brand-new heights. Unlike the classic Fire TV Soundbar, the Soundbar Plus has a built-in subwoofer and offers Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS TruVolume support. In other words, its all-in-one design makes for truly immersive audio. It packs three full-range speakers, three tweeters, and two woofers to pump out sound in every direction. If you already have a Fire TV or a Fire TV Stick, it's a perfect companion. You can even use the same remote to control both. As of Dec. 17, it's on sale for the first time ever. Snag it for just $199.99 instead of $249.99 ahead of the holidays.
Amazon Echo Show 8
The latest Echo Show 8, released last year, improves all of the things we already loved about its predecessor. It packs a centered 13MP front camera for clearer calls, spatial audio for more enjoyable listening, and a dynamic interface that adjust based on your distance to the device. And like the previous generation, it can still be used as a central hub for everything from controlling your security cameras and lights to making video calls and streaming your favorite shows. As of Dec. 17, you can scoop it up for just $84.99 instead of $149.99. That's 43% in savings and just $5 shy of its best-ever price from Black Friday.
Kindle Kids
Just like the classic Kindle, but built with young readers in mind, the Kindle Kids is the most budget-friendly option for your little ones. While it doesn't offer the waterproof build and adjustable warm light like the Paperwhite Kids, it's still a solid pick for an e-reader. It features a six-inch, glare-free display with 300 ppi for sharp resolution, adjustable front light, dark mode to prevent eye strain, and one year of unlimited access to Amazon Kids+. This subscription would normally run you $4.99 per month and includes thousands of ad-free books and a Vocabulary Builder, where kids can look up definitions and learn new words. It's usually $129.99, but you can snag the new Kindle Kids for only $109.99 as of Dec. 17.
HP Sprocket 3x4 instant photo printer
Whether you're looking for a unique gift idea or a creative way to capture holiday memories, the HP Sprocket is a fun option. With a few taps on your phone, it pumps out 3-by-4-inch sticky-back photos you can customize with stickers, borders, filters, and other effects. No need to buy ink; this tiny printer uses zero-ink (Zink) technology on tear-resistant, waterproof, and blot-proof paper. It works with both iOS and Android devices, is extremely light and portable, and lets you print from your device's gallery as well as your Instagram, Facebook, and Google accounts. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) gave it four stars, writing that "the Sprocket 3x4 will land in your portable-printer Goldilocks zone."
It's usually $149.99, but as of Dec. 17, you can snag it for only $110.49. That's 26% in savings.
Fitbit Charge 6
One of our readers' top purchases during Cyber Week, the Fitbit Charge 6 is back on sale in time for last-minute shoppers to snag. As far as fitness trackers go, it checks all the right boxes. It packs a seven-day battery life, 40+ exercise modes, heart rate, step, sleep, and stress tracking, making it a solid choice if you're looking to improve your health and habits. It also comes with six months of Fitbit Premium to help you really kickstart your fitness routine.
sAs of Dec. 17, it's just $119.95 instead of $159.95. That's 25% in savings. While that's not quite as cheap as it was on Black Friday, it certainly still beats paying full price.
