  • Christmas week has arrived, which means most people are likely done with their holiday shopping at this point.
  • Amazon has some new last-minute deals so you can pick up a few fantastic gifts for yourself.
  • Highlights include AirPods 2 for $110, a fantastic one-day Roomba deal, and a $100 4th-gen Echo Dot and Amazon Music Unlimited bundle for just $29.99.

Merry Christmas, bargain hunters!

The most festive week of the year has finally arrived. While there’s no question that Christmas this year will be different than most due to the coronavirus pandemic, there’s also no question that some things are going to remain the same. For example, you know Amazon is going to have some awesome last-minute deals for shoppers to treat themselves with now that we’re all done with our holiday shopping!

There’s no question that shocking Amazon deals on pandemic essentials are still the most popular products among our readers. At the top of the list, you’ll find FDA EUA-authorized Powecom KN95 masks on sale for $25.49 per 10-pack instead of the regular $45 retail price. Sleek black AccuMed KN95 masks are close behind, and you won’t believe how cheap Purell hand sanitizer pump bottles are right now. That’s especially crazy since you still can’t find them in most stores.

Those are all terrific deals that you should definitely take advantage of, but there are also some surprisingly good last-minute deals on popular nonessentials that just popped up on Amazon for Christmas week. Here, we’ll run through our five favorite ones.
