It's beginning to look a lot like the holiday shopping season! In 2025, we're buying our Christmas gifts early—and deeply discounted. Here's what you can buy now on major sale.
Our editors and experts handpick every product we feature. We may earn a commission from your purchases.Learn more.
As a shopping editor, I feel a certain amount of pressure to pick out the best possible gift for everyone on my holiday list. After all, it is quite literally my job to find and share top-tier product recommendations. And while I have some tried-and-true hacks (hello, shopping at Uncommon Goods!), my biggest recommendation is to give yourself plenty of time to shop.
So why not start now? Yes, it’s July. But there are many reasons to start making your list and checking it twice. For starters, you’ll avoid holiday shipping delays. Plus, buying early ensures you can steer clear of any price increases from tariffs or supply chain disruptions later in the year. But the biggest perk? Most retailers are offering major markdowns in July.
We scoured sales all across the internet—from Amazon Prime Day steals to better-than-Black Friday discounts—and found holiday gifts you can buy right now.
Editor’s Note: Prices and promotions are subject to change, and deals are valid while supplies last. We’ll update this page often, but we strongly suggest shopping early for the best selection.
The best blankets make the best gifts, and we’ve yet to encounter a Cozy Earth blanket we didn’t love. This cloud knit throw is made of 100% viscose bamboo for an oh-so-soft texture. And it’s the ideal weight for tossing on the end of your bed, snuggling on the couch or wrapping around yourself.
Pick one up in the white shade for 55% off as part of the brand’s “We Made Too Much” sale. You’ll pay right around $98. And if any full-price Cozy Earth gear catches your eye, take 35% off with the exclusive code TASTEOFHOME.
If the best part of their day revolves around a morning pick-me-up, consider gifting the Keurig K-Elite. This single-serve coffee maker was named the best overall Keurig in our extensive testing. We loved this model’s extensive customizations, huge water reservoir and fast, easy brewing.
Score one of the best Amazon Prime Day deals by picking this brewer up for just under $100. That’s a 55% savings!
Pet parents are pretty easy to shop for. But if you want to give a gift they’ll treasure forever, pick up this “dog blueprints” art from Uncommon Goods. There are dozens of dog breeds to choose from, and each print includes facts and details about their four-legged friend.
Each print is on sale for $149, meaning you save over $35. And it comes framed!
Shopping for a college grad or newlywed? This Caraway mini cookware set makes a great gift. When our team tested over 19 ceramic cookware brands, we named Caraway the most stylish option. But these pans aren’t just aesthetic! They have a safe, super-slick ceramic coating that lets eggs, crepes and other sticky foods glide around with ease. With proper care, they can last for years.
All Caraway products are 20% off during Amazon Prime Day, which brings this set’s price down to $179.
New-release cookbooks are always a hot holiday gift, and we’re counting down the days until Sally’s Baking 101 cookbook hits shelves on September 2. This tome comes from Sally McKenney—AKA the creator of Sally’s Baking Addiction website—and is loaded with plenty of sweet and savory recipes.
During Target Circle Week, grab a preorder copy for 30% off. Plus, you can stack on the “buy one get two free” deal on books, movies and music. Sweet!
An air purifier is a practical gift that your loved one may not explicitly ask for, but will still benefit from. Whether they’re an allergy sufferer or live somewhere with a lot of wildfire smoke or air pollution, the Shark NeverChange is outfitted with a HEPA filter for thorough cleaning. The editors at Reader’s Digest tested this model and were impressed with its smart features, especially at a mid-range price point.
Stock up on Amazon Prime Day when the Shark air purifier is on sale for $269.99. You’ll save $110!
It’s OK if you want to buy an early holiday gift for yourself! One of our all-time favorite artificial Christmas trees is on deep discount, thanks to Balsam Hill’s Christmas in July sale. The pre-lit classic blue spruce adds a traditional, realistic feel to your holiday decor. While it does take some time to fluff the branches, your effort will be rewarded with a stunning full shape, real-looking needles and easy-connect lights.
Pick up a 6.5- or 7-foot tree for a whopping 50% off. You’ll also score free shipping!
We can all but guarantee Stanley will drop several holiday-themed tumblers later this year. (Fingers crossed for a Midnight Glitz restock!) But if you want to beat the crowds, there are plenty of beautiful gifts in the brand’s sale section, like this craft cocktail set. Each order comes with a 12-ounce cocktail shaker and two 6-ounce rocks glasses for easy mixing and sipping. Plus, they’re available in last year’s holiday hues, Gilded Marshmallow and Pomegranate.
Act fast! This trio is available for 50% off and is sure to sell out.
Another practical gift idea, this Ninja knife set will be a welcome upgrade for the home cook on your list. It includes 14 pieces: an 8-inch Chef’s knife, 8-inch bread knife, 5-inch Santoku knife, 5-inch boning knife, 5-inch utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, six steak knives, shears and a knife block with built-in sharpener. Whew! Our editors tried the 12-piece set when testing the best kitchen knives and appreciated its sleek look and that it covered all our cooking needs.
Add this set to your cart for just $249.99 during Amazon Prime Day for over $100 in savings.
I normally wouldn’t recommend giving someone a vacuum cleaner as a gift. (Unless you know they really want a new one.) But Dyson cordless vacs, dare I say, make the tedious chore…fun? The V8 model was ranked our best budget pick, yet we were still awed by its lightweight design, uncomplicated settings and stellar performance.
Grab one during Target Circle Week on sale for $299.99. That’s over $120 off!
We all know someone who covets a KitchenAid stand mixer. And for good reason! These kitchen workhorses can whip cream, beat butter, knead dough and so. much. more. This versatility means they make great (albeit expensive) gifts. Luckily, you can save a ton by opting for a refurbished mixer. These models work just like new yet cost a fraction of the price.
Grab an Artisan series refurbished 5-quart tilt-head stand mixer on sale for $209.99—AKA over 50% off! There are plenty of colors to choose from, too.
The Le Creuset Factory to Table sale is going on now, and it’s the perfect time to stock up for the holidays. We’re smitten with this versatile 3-piece baking dish set, which includes 14-, 11- and 9-inch vessels. The quality, glazed stoneware ensures everything from casseroles to cobblers bakes beautifully.
Save $60 when you order a baking trio for just under $115. Select colors are already selling out!
Hear me out: Jellycats pretty much never go on sale, but they’re still worth buying early. Why? Because top styles sell out faster than you can say “Sky Dragon.” Kids (and kids at heart) are going crazy for these funky plush friends thanks to their high-quality materials, ethical business practices and oh-so-adorable designs. There’s no doubt Jellycats will be the “it” toy of the 2025 holiday season, so the sooner you buy, the better. The food plushies, in particular, are one of my favorite gifts to give!
Ooh la la! These copper coupe glasses are a fun gift for your fanciest friend. This clearance find will keep drinks cool and look chic on a bar cart.
Get a set of two for just under $40. That’s a 50% savings!
Matching family Christmas pajamas have become all the rage in recent years. But the total cost can add up really quickly. Think ahead by shopping the Hanna Andersson sale with styles for kids and adults. (And even Fido!) Find patterns with snowmen, deer and even popular licensed characters, like the Grinch.
Styles and sizes are selling out fast, so shop early for the best selection. We found discounts all the way up to 70% off!
