Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Gen:$49$24.99 at AmazonThis is our favorite Amazon device because it puts Alexa in your home for a fraction of the price of other smart speakers. It sounds good for such a small speaker, too.

Apple Watch 5 GPS-only 44mm$429$404 on B&HThis is the Apple Watch 5 we suggest to most people, as it’s larger (but not too big), meaning more battery life and larger touch points. It’s a modest $25 off, but what do you expect from a last-minute Apple deal when it’s so new to begin with.
