You probably scored tons of deals for Black Friday last week, but in case you missed out on some things, trust us — Cyber Monday is just as good, if not better.
For those, still in search of some gifts, especially for the hard-to-please people in your life, we’ve rounded up some things on sale that we think would make particularly good presents regardless of the recipient, from your uncle with no discernible interests to the younger sister who barely looks up from her phone. To make it even easier, we’ve also broken down our picks by budget, which you can navigate using our table of contents. And in case you want even more gifting ideas, check out all of our gift guides so far, as well as our master guide to the sales, here.
