Amazon devices and other great gifts with delivery by Christmas

Bruce Brown
By

There are just three days until Christmas, but you don’t have to restrict your shopping to local stores to buy gifts in time for the holiday. Amazon adds new deals to its Last-Minute Deals campaign daily. If Amazon has full confidence in its ability to deliver to your home in time, the words “Arrive before Christmas” are printed in green letters a few lines below the product price. Whether you’re searching for great bargains or looking for perfect presents, Amazon has loads of great gifts ready for shipment to arrive before Christmas. Don’t delay long if you decide to buy one of these products, however, because a deal that’s available for pre-Christmas arrival when we check early in the day may not be available as the day goes on.

Amazon product pages indicate whether delivery is possible before Christmas. Because Amazon knows your address when you log on to the site, shipping availability will likely vary depending on your location and is proximity to the nearest distribution center that has a specific product in stock. There is no such thing as absolute with delivery services, but the estimates are a big help. If an item is not going to be in stock till a date after Christmas, the pages include that information, which is a big help. When we selected the products listed lower in this article, for example, delivery before  December 25 was a required criterion.

You can find excellent deals on 4K TVs, Apple Watches, Fitbits, Garmin smartwatches, and Bose products. There are still high-quality headphones from Sony, Bang & Olufsen, and Bose, Roomba and Ecovacs robotic vacuums, Instant Pots, and Nespresso coffee makers available for a timely delivery.

Amazon dropped several new deals leading up to and beyond Christmas. Until today, December 22, for example, DeWalt Tools have special savings.  Also through today, Amazon has a last-minute discount on Noot NP20T Bluetooth Earbuds..

Amazon continues to offer excellent discounts on its owned-brand products, including such as Echo, Kindle, Fire, Ring Video Doorbells, and Ring and Blink security cameras. There are still good deals on most Amazon Echo smart home devices such as the Echo and Echo Dot, Echo Shows, Fire TVs, Fire Tablets, and Kindle e-readers. Be on the lookout for exclusive deals on Amazon device bundles with unprecedented savings. We also continue to see new sales on third-party Alexa-compatible devices, including video doorbells, smart security cameras, speakers, lights, robot vacuums, and other appliances.

If you start your shopping on Amazon’s Last-Minute Deals page, you can search by category, which is a significant time-saver if you know the type of gift but not the specific brand or model — you might as well look at the deals first. That same page is a good starting point to check out the day’s lightning deals, short-term, limited-quantity sales, and exclusive bundles. We’ll update this page with the very best deals in the categories we monitor.

Some prices are a tick higher than during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but there are still tons of killer discounts.

Some of the best deals are on Amazon Echo devices, but you can also find excellent deals on Apple Watch Series 3, 4, and 5, iPads, iPhones, Fitbits, Sonos speakers, Instant Pots, 4K TVs, and more. Selected Amazon devices from categories such as Echo Dots, Fire TV sticks, and Ring lights and cameras are all available during the extended holiday sale.

Chess is one of those games that are easy to learn and but difficult (or impossible) to master. Its rules are fairly simple, but devising optimal strategies and planning multiple moves at the same time can be mind-bending. Still, regardless of whether you're a novice chess player or an aspiring grandmaster, there is a surprisingly wide range of great chess apps available for Android and iOS devices. In this article, we run through best of the them, covering simple apps for quick games as well as ones that include a whole host of extra features.
Chess by Chess.com

Chess.com's Chess app is probably the most popular of its kind anywhere in the world. Its basic offering is the ability the play an unlimited number of chess games for free, whether with the computer or with other players. It goes way beyond this, however, throwing in interactive lessons and videos from ranking grandmasters, as well as puzzle mini-games which help sharpen your skills and strategies. You can adjust the computer's difficulty setting as you become more experienced, while you can also analyze games after they've been played, helping you to spot your mistakes and learn how to improve. There are also a bunch of other nice extras, such as coaching articles published daily, performance stats, and an active community forum. If there's only one app you have time to download, it should probably be this one, although you do need to subscribe to unlock all of its features, from $5 per month or $30 per year.
