It’s the last Friday before Christmas, and the last thing you want to be doing at this point is walking into a brick-and-mortar store. There’s always something you’ll forget to pick up for Christmas, but my team and I have got your last-minute gifting covered.<\/p>\n
TL;DR: Deals for Today<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n Best-Selling Magic: The Gathering Booster Boxes and Commander Decks are still on offer from yesterday, but maybe you’d fancy a cheeky discounted Yu-Gi-Oh! booster pack instead? I’ve also got Donkey Kong and LoZ: TOTK amiibo deals, perfect for a solid stocking filler.<\/p>\n
Still looking for a good PlayStation 5 deal outside of Black Friday? We’ve found a PS5 Slim (Disc Edition) with a copy of Black Ops 7<\/em> for $469.99, saving $149.99 with free shipping. And of course, we couldn\u2019t leave Pok\u00e9mon TCG out, the Pikachu Ultra PRO Pikachu-themed playmat is down to $9.99 from $26.99. <\/p>\n
MTG Deals<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n Edge of Eternities<\/em> only released in August, but it\u2019s already available in a great bundle deal that\u2019s ready-made for multiplayer Commander nights. The same goes for the Lorwyn Eclipsed<\/em> Commander Deck Bundle. One of the standout deals right now is the Commander Masters Play Booster Box<\/strong>, which is currently over $100 cheaper than market value<\/strong>. That said, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/em> Play Booster Box is also under market value on Amazon at $159.99<\/strong>, making it a solid pickup for fans of Universes Beyond.<\/p>\n

I don’t need to tell anyone about how awesome PS5s are, but the Slim models feature a smaller form factor and improved cooling, meaning this unit should last longer than the original launch model. This is the disc model, so you can choose between a physical or digital game collection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If you loved MGS 3: Snake Eater<\/em> back in 2004, it\u2019s time to relive the nostalgia. MGS Delta has been remade in Unreal Engine 5, featuring updated cutscenes, 3D audio, and a choice of old or new control schemes. Snake suffers damage in real time, and the graphics and performance hold up well against today\u2019s AAA titles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Yunobo unlocks the Sage of Fabric for Link\u2019s Paraglider in Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>, and it can also give out Cobble Crushers, various rocks, and ores. The Donkey Kong and Pauline amiibo unlocks Pauline’s Diva Dress cosmetic early in Donkey Kong Bananza<\/em>, doubles the drop rate of music discs, and gives explosive golden KONG tiles. Buying both together is cheaper than the standard amiibo price, making them perfect stocking fillers for Switch 2 players.<\/p>\n

$1.99 for a shot at pulling one of 25 Starlight Rares is a bargain, especially since they\u2019re usually $4.49. This pack also contains:<\/p>\n
\n10 Secret Rares<\/li>\n 14 Ultra Rares<\/li>\n 26 Super Rares<\/li>\n 50 Commons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

A good playmat can save your cards from damage over time, since sleeves alone don\u2019t provide much protection. There are plenty of options, but if you\u2019re a Pikachu fan, this discounted playmat ($17 off) is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That M3 chip I mentioned earlier is around 20% faster than the previous M2<\/strong>, and it\u2019s packed into an iPad Air that only released in March this year, now sitting at $200 off its usual price<\/strong>. For the record, this actually beats the Black Friday discount for this model. It\u2019s also compatible with Apple Pencil Pro and USB-C models, as well as the Magic Keyboard. All in, this is one of the cheapest ways to jump into the iPad ecosystem right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1440p gaming is the RTX 5070\u2019s sweet spot, especially with MSI\u2019s triple-fan SHADOW cooler. You can push into 4K at lower frame rates with the help of DLSS 4<\/strong> and Nvidia\u2019s Blackwell architecture<\/strong>. DLSS 4 currently offers the best image upscaling on the market, alongside AI frame generation to smooth things out at higher resolutions. All told, this is a great price on a very capable 1440p-and-beyond GPU.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Are you a big fan of Roald Dahl? The LEGO Ideas Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory<\/em> set is on sale just in time for Christmas at Target. 20% off<\/strong> is a strong deal for a set with 2,025 pieces and nine minifigures<\/strong>. Fair warning, though: this is an 18+ build<\/strong>, so it might be a bit challenging for younger builders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Saving $620<\/strong> on one of the most feature-packed ultrawide 1440p gaming monitors pretty much sells itself. It\u2019s sold by an authorised Samsung reseller, so you\u2019ll still get the official one-year warranty. You\u2019re looking at a 144Hz refresh rate<\/strong> and a 0.03ms response time<\/strong>, meaning you can push close to 140fps at 1440p with no noticeable input delay from controller, keyboard, or mouse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ll kick things off here by pointing out that this is $50 cheaper than its Black Friday price<\/strong>. The 16-inch OLED display is paired with an RTX 5070 Ti, which is more than capable of high-frame-rate 1440p gaming, with some light 4K gaming possible thanks to DLSS 4. While the panel tops out at 2.5K resolution, it boasts a massive 240Hz refresh rate<\/strong>, a 0.02ms response time<\/strong>, and all the inky blacks and vibrant colours you\u2019d expect from OLED. This is a cracking mid-range gaming laptop deal, and if you\u2019re in the market for one, it\u2019s easy to recommend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Although they’re a generation behind the Sony WH-1000XM6, the M5s still have amazing noise cancellation in a best-in-class all-around headphone solution. The WF-C700N wireless earbuds are in-ear, also feature top noise cancellation, and are IPX4 water-resistant for something low-profile while working out. This deal is a no-brainer if you’re in the market for some new personal audio equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But this is Daily Deals<\/strong>! And it’s currently 40% off the 256GB model, meaning you can double your Nintendo Switch 2 storage for $32.99 instead of $54.99. Winner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Amazon Buy 1 Get 1 50% off Book Sale<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n So the quarter-bound The Lord of the Rings<\/em> and The Silmarillion<\/em> Tolkien Illustrated Editions are must-buys in this sale for me, and they are 44% and 46% off, respectively, before the buy one, get one deal comes into play. So that’s a total of $191.29 down from $243.63. Bear in mind, at MSRP, both of these books come to $445. That’s an insane deal on its own. Other highlights for me are The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia<\/em> and A Game of Thrones<\/em> hardback box set.<\/p>\n
Sonos Refurb Sale<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n When it comes to big-brand gear, I’d always go for a solid refurbished<\/strong> or open-box deal over brand-new products. If it’s a brand or retailer worth its salt, these products are pretty much new anyway but can’t be sold as such, as they’re a customer return or something similar.<\/p>\nWith Sonos refurbs, you’re getting the same one-year warranty you would with a brand-new alternative, plus they get delivered as new with all the leads and gubbins you’d usually get. It’s literally a no-brainer when you’re getting over 55% off a Sonos Arc soundbar, for example.<\/p>\n
Pok\u00e9mon TCG Single Card Price Crash<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n Pok\u00e9mon TCG stock levels are getting better and better across the board, which means there’s more chance of buying off store shelves and a much bigger chance of scalpers losing out. It’s a win-win, especially for Pok\u00e9mon card collectors, as single cards are finding a new floor when it comes to market values.<\/p>\n
It’s the best time this year to snap up some of those grails you’ve been eyeing up, so I’ve found the top 5 chase cards in every Pok\u00e9mon TCG expansion and base set from the previous Scarlet and Violet era, as well as Mega Evolution, the current era of Pok\u00e9mon cards. There’s some serious bargains to be had here, and I reckon we’ll see prices tick back up when Ascended Heroes launches early next year, so don’t wait around.<\/p>\n
Best Pok\u00e9mon TCG Sealed Deals<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n The best deal here for me is the Mega Charizard X ex Ultra Premium Collection that’s currently at market value on Amazon and close to MSRP. <\/p>\n
