Perks and Rec: These gifts for curious minds are on sale

We’re down to the wire, folks. If you’re still shopping for gifts, there are a few options on sale for the learner in your life.  

Our favorite DNA testing kit is up to 40% off today. It’s a great gift for the person who wants to explore their family roots, given Ancestry’s vast database of information. They’ll have to wait for the kit to arrive, but they can look forward to uncovering more about their past and family tree when it does. 

For the person who loves to learn a new skill, grab a membership to MasterClass. It's our favorite platform for creatives because you’ll learn from leading industry experts. Take a cooking class from Gordon Ramsey, learn makeup skills from Bobbi Brown or get Martha Stewart’s success secrets. Right now, you can get two memberships for the price of one—gift them both or save one for yourself. 

Oh, and parents: Here’s a reminder to have batteries on hand when your kids unwrap their gifts. You’re welcome. 

Happy shopping,
