Amazon Fire Kids Edition Tablets | $60-$140
If you’re looking for an affordable, kid-friendly tablet, Amazon’s Fire Kids Edition tablets are at the top of the heap. They’re outfitted with a thick, padded case that can withstand drops and knicks — but even if it does break within two years, they’ll send you a replacement. On top of that, they come with a free year of Amazon Kids+, the company’s content service that includes games, books, and other targeted entertainment.
Save up to $60 right now: the Fire 7 Kids Edition is just $60, while the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition is $90 and the Fire HD 10 Kids Edition is $140.
Motorola Razr 5G | $1,000
The original Razr remains iconic, and now with foldable smartphones being a thing, Motorola wisely saw the opportunity to seize on nostalgia and produce the new Razr. This 5G-equipped revision, like all foldable smartphones, is pricey at a list price of $1,400, but right now Amazon is chopping $400 off the price of an unlocked version that you can use with any carrier.

Clip the coupon on the page
Carcassonne is one of the most popular modern, German-style board games (like Settlers of Catan), challenging players to collectively build up a map tile-by-tile and try to command the majority of it. If you’re keen on diving into the experience, this Carcassonne Big Box contains the main game and 11 expansions for just $60 with a coupon clip, a savings of $30 off the list price.

Amazon Fire Tablets | $40-$95
Amazon’s Android-based tablets are some of the best values around, and while we wouldn’t pit them head-to-head against iPads in terms of speed or elegance, it’s hard to argue with the price. Right now, they’re even cheaper: the compact Fire 7 is a mere $40 right now, the slightly larger and more powerful Fire HD 8 is just $60, and the large, 1080p-screened Fire HD 10 is only $95.
These prices are for the versions with “special offers” (ads) on the lock screen, which helps subsidize the price, but you can pay a little more for a version without ads — or pay the difference later to remove them.
Amazon Echo Show 10 | $210
Amazon’s latest screen-driven Echo Show 10 smart speaker has an intriguing new perk: a motion-sensing display that rotates to follow you around the room. That’s handy for video calls and keeping a view on streaming media as you move about the kitchen or living room, but as Gizmodo’s review suggests, it could creep some people out.
Even so, if you don’t mind that potential eerie sensation, you can already save $40 off right now. Want one of the smaller, simpler Echo Show models? The Echo Show 5 is just $50 right now while the Echo Show 8 is $75.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury | $50
Just released last month, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury pairs a Switch port of the Wii U’s excellent Super Mario entry with the brand new Bowser’s Fury mini-campaign, which takes place in an open-world island setting and puts a fresh twist on the 3D Mario framework. It’s all stellar, and you can save $10 off right now at Amazon.
