Lucky for you, I’m the kind of shopper who absolutely refuses to buy anything that isn’t on sale. If I bought it, it was probably marked down. Budget hunting is basically my personality at this point! Which really comes in clutch this time of year, because my gift list is quite long and I have zero desire to drop my life savings on presents. So I’ve been digging, and I’ve found some insanely good Cyber Monday gift finds (I'm talking 60% off!) on Amazon, Anthropologie, Swarovski, and more happening right now. Just saying, I was this close to gatekeeping… but here we are. And today is the only day you can shop them at these insanely low prices.
Whether you’re shopping for your brother, sister, best friend, parents, or that picky teen, I’ve tracked down a gift they’ll genuinely love—and yes, every single thing is on sale. A win for everyone! You’ll find picks for the beauty lover, the style buff, the person who already has everything, the astrology-obsessed—you name it. I don’t know how long these deals will stick around, so I’d move fast!
Gifts for Her
I’d say that finding a gift for your mom or bestie is one of the easier holiday missions—but allow me to throw some fresh ideas your way if you want something both on-trend and perfectly suited to them, and for the low! A towel warmer instantly brings spa-level vibes to any home. They can use it to heat towels, blankets, or even pajamas. Dachshund bookends are the most genius gift for the person you know who's obsessed with wiener dogs. And some UGG dupes for under $40? Add to cart! A cashmere sweater will have her grinning from ear to ear, and a set of Laneige lip balms and sleep masks makes for a great stocking stuffer!

Gifts for Him
Shopping for a man? No easy task. Sure, you can grab something that earns the polite “This is nice, thank you!” but we’re aiming higher: we’re trying to woo the hard-to-woo. When in doubt, start with the essentials. He'll always need good underwear! Shopping editor Hannah Oh recommends Tommy John’s because they’re unbelievably soft (her boyfriend is one lucky dude). The leather Levi's jacket with the cool sherpa collar will surely become his go-to outerwear this season. And if he’s the type who loves a quirky fact, The Book of Unusual Knowledge is the perfect pick. On top of that, this clever fidget toy that doubles as a pen has become a huge hit for gifting men.

Gifts for Teens
When it comes to gifting for the youth, my strategy is simple: go cute, TikTok-viral, personalized, or tech-related. For the photographer of the group or someone who just loves keeping memories, the Canon Ivy 2 Mini Photo Printer is The One. If they’re always filming or creating content, the Scosche water bottle with a MagSafe phone mount is a brilliant two-in-one. Astrology fans will love a personalized book detailing their birth chart and traits. You can’t go wrong with a monogrammed pouch for makeup, pencils, or other essentials. A galaxy projector is a fun gift that'll bring all the good vibes to their room.

Gifts for Parents
Thankfully, most parentals aren’t typically hard to please. They’ll appreciate any gift we worked hard to give ‘em. Still, they deserve the best! A robot vacuum is always handy. Mom might love something sparkly, and Swarovski’s crystal studs are gorgeous and under $100 right now! Or if she's got a green thumb, an herb garden kit will instantly become her new hobby. If Dad is the grill master, a meat thermometer is a 10/10. And a heated massager? That’ll quickly become part of their daily routine. And just saying, it's so rare to get a De'Longhi espresso and coffee machine for nearly 40% off... Maybe it's time you upgrade their coffee-making station!
