Amazon Fire TV
Considering the fact that cable networks are doing just a fine job at screwing over customers, there are a lot of folks who have been cutting the cord over the last few years. One of the best options to replace your set-top box is Amazon’s lineup of Fire TV products.
Normally, this spot would be held by the Amazon Fire TV Stick thanks to its low-price of $34.99, but that is currently out of stock, so we’re moving to the next best option. The Amazon Fire TV is capable of streaming your favorite content in 4K Ultra HD, and also includes the Alexa Voice Remote so you won’t have to mess with the annoying on-screen keyboard.
The Amazon Fire TV is priced at $54.99, down from its regular price of $69.99.
Eufy Genie Smart Speaker
There are a lot of folks who are jumping on the smart home train thanks to the deep discounts on products like the Google Home and Amazon Echo Dot. However, third-party OEM’s are starting to release smart speakers of their own.
That brings us to the Eufy Genie, which is a company owned by Anker and is powered by Amazon’s Alexa. This means that if you’re concerned about missing out on the best that Alexa has to offer, there’s no need to fret as you can do everything with the Eufy Genie and there’s a better speaker within the body.
The Eufy Genie is discounted to just $24.99, down from its regular price of $34.99.
Amazon Fire Tablets
Sticking with the Amazon trend, the latest option for great last-minute gifts brings us to the Amazon Fire Tablet lineup. While these won’t compete with the likes of an iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab device, the Amazon Fire Tablets are still more than capable products.
Despite the fact that these tablets run FireOS, this is just a more optimized version of Android geared towards those who are entrenched in the Amazon ecosystem. But the real story here is that you can get the 7-inch tablet for just $39.99, a discount of $10, and the Fire HD 8 is just $49.99, a discount of $30.
