Perks and Rec: Score an extra 20% off gifts at eBay

Even though it's October, early Black Friday sales are in full swing. If you're looking to save a little extra on top of already-low prices, shop eBay's sale and get an extra 20% off select gifts when you use the code COUNTDOWN22.

For the kid in your life who won't stop asking when they can open their presents, an advent calendar can give them something small every day leading up to the holidays. A heatable and fluffy plush is perfect for anyone who needs a hug. Plus, it smells like lavender for a therapeutic touch. And don't forget the teen who loves to watch TikToks — give them some refurbished headphones so you don't have to hear them, too. 

Sometimes the best presents are the practical ones, like an electric toothbrush or Instant Pot. Or give the gift of less active cleaning time with a Roomba. You can snag this one for $242 off before the coupon is even applied.

No matter who you're shopping for, be sure to act fast — these extra savings last through Sunday, Oct. 23.

Happy saving,
