With Christmas around the corner, most retailers are slowing their sales down drastically. People are a lot more willing to pay full price when they’ve got a looming deadline. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth buying that’s also on sale. Amazon’s got a bunch of “last-minute deals” on all sorts of things, not surprisingly including virtually everything in their own lineup of devices. But we dug deeper to find some great offers on products you might actually really need right now.
1. A new chef’s knife for under $10
Hosting a party for the holidays or New Years Eve? A new chef’s knife will make your preparations a lot easier than if you stick with the dull blades you’ve owned for years and never gotten around to sharpening. You can usually get this knife for around $15, but right now it’ll cost less than $10 to finally have a knife that slices and dices the way a good knife should. Lightweight German steel is as easy to use as it is to maintain, and with nearly 500 positive reviews, this Amazon best-seller would make a great addition to any kitchen.

Invest in the best countertop spiralizer we’ve ever tested and you’ll be able to make your own zoodles exactly how you like them whenever you want. This Paderno spiralizer comes with three different blades for thin, thick, and wide spirals, and all you have to do is pop produce into place, cranks a wheel, and watch as the magic happens. No more fighting other shoppers for the last container of spiralized carrots.

4. A fun way to play even when you’re away

You can check in and make sure they’re doing OK and not getting into too much mischief while you’re away. With this camera, which is down to the lowest price since July, you can also interact with them. Open the smartphone app to watch them, speak to them, and even toss them a treat for good behavior—or to distract them from barking at the neighbors again.
