There's no time like the present to finish your holiday gift shopping. After all, Cyber Monday deals are still up and running, so you can save big on top tech, fashion, home items and more. But if you need some help, our team of shopping editors has turned trying and buying products into a career, so they know a thing or two about what's worth wrapping up and giving to a loved one.

That said, we've compiled a list of the best gifts — the stuff we're totally obsessed with — that you can get on sale during the Amazon Cyber Monday sale, up to 60% off. For the winter homebodies, might we suggest a stylish candle warmer or a fluffy Ugg blanket? On the other hand, if you're shopping for a frequent flier, we love a Travelpro suitcase and these comfortable Bose earbuds. And for the movie buff, you can't beat the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, which offers the best, crystal-clear picture of all the streaming sticks.

But that's just a few gift ideas — keep scrolling for more! We've listed over 20 of our favorite items to give and receive from Amazon. But if you don't see something on this list that strikes your fancy, check out our Christmas gift guides for her and him, along with ideas for your upcoming White Elephant or Secret Santa gift exchanges.

"As someone whose greatest fear is burning my house down, I'm a little obsessed with these pretty yet practical gadgets. Not only do they allow you to enjoy the scent of your favorite candles without any flame, they can also extend their lives as well. I plan on getting a few of these to gift to family and friends this year; at under $30, it's a small price to pay for some peace of mind." —Britt Ross, Senior Deals Writer

"I'm a huge fan of my silk pillowcase — I feel like royalty while sleeping on the smooth surface, but it also keeps my hair from breaking and frizzing at night. This holiday season, I'm going to spread the wealth and gift these to friends and family. At just $9, it makes the perfect stocking stuffer. You can also choose from tons of different colors — everything from neutrals to bright pink and teal — so there's a style for everyone on your list." —Rory Halperin, Senior Commerce Editor

"Do you know how hard it is to get a tween boy to wear any sort of coat or jacket? Well, I've finally found a workaround: This battery-pack-powered fleece. It's light enough not to bug a coat-averse kid from the get-go, and they can toggle between three heat levels by pressing a button. If you're not part of the bus-stop crew, never fear — it would be a great gift for anyone who wants a little extra warmth without the bulk this winter." —Saundra Latham, Commerce Editor

"This oversize cardigan looks very similar to an expensive Jenni Kayne one that's $395, but obviously, this one is a fraction of the price. I got one last year and it's super soft, comfy and washes well — so I had to get two more. This year, I'm going to gift one to my mom. They're great for layering over a T-shirt with jeans or leggings and especially great for travel. I know my snowbird mother will take hers on the plane to Florida this year, and when she lands, it won't take up too much room in her tote bag." —Ellie Conley, Trending Writer

"Black thumb? No problem. These teeny-tiny plants are impossible to kill. This 758-piece set is one of the most popular Lego releases from the last year — and that's saying something since they recently earned the title of the most-searched toy brand on Google's Holiday 100." —Amanda Garrity, Gifting Editor

"My son just started asking 'why?' incessantly, so I'm leaning heavily into early learning resources. I love Britannica's educational books like this First Big Book of Why, and with 10 nieces (yes, all nieces) and my own two kids to nerd out with, I'll be sharing the love with titles like The Good Germ Hotel, Britannica's Ready for School Words and Literally." —Laura Williams, Senior Health Writer

"The best budget tablet just got a refresh, and while the updates are pretty modest, this is still an amazingly versatile device — especially at the Cyber Monday price of just $55. Amazon even managed to bake some new AI features into the Fire HD 8, like e-mail proofreading and natural-language web page summaries. Before you spend a small fortune on an iPad Mini, you owe it to yourself to catch Fire. Read my Amazon Fire HD 8 review to learn more." — Rick Broida, Senior Technology Writer

"This is a worthy stocking stuffer for any pet owner. It grabs hair from rugs, upholstery, pet beds — basically, any pet-loved place or perch — way more effectively than a vacuum, and you can use it over and over, so say goodbye to those annoying rollers of sticky tape. The only downside is that once you use it, you'll realize that your house has not actually been clean since you brought home Fido or Fluffy," —Saundra Latham, Commerce Editor

"More and more research shows that inhaling certain scents throughout the day (such as rosemary and peppermint) can lead to increased focus and mental clarity overall. This diffuser is wildly well reviewed and it will look cute in my (or my gift recipient's) office too." —Jennifer Romolini, Senior Beauty Editor

"This bright, invigorating all-natural scrub is made from some of the most skin-nourishing ingredients around, including sweet orange oil, dead sea salt, organic aloe vera juice and coconut oil. The scent is more tart than candy-sweet and it's amazingly effective for sloughing off dead skin cells. And the price can't be beat." Jennifer Romolini, Senior Beauty Editor

"If you really want to treat someone this season, get them the L'ange Le Stylist hair dryer. It's super lightweight, dries hair fast and leaves hair silky smooth. My mom bought one over the summer and made me compare it to my Dyson, and I have to say, I like this one better! It's so much lighter. Unfortunately, she took hers on a trip abroad and it broke, but she loved it so much she bought another one. Now I feel like my beauty-loving teen goddaughter may need one for Christmas (and maybe me too)." —Ellie Conley, Trending Writer

"I love my husband dearly, but he's never met a TV remote that he didn't near-immediately lose somewhere — in the couch cushions, under the coffee table, sometimes in different rooms from the television entirely. Tile Stickers have been a lifesaver for when we're struggling to locate the Roku clicker, soundbar remote, etc., and I have a feeling this two-pack will come in very handy for a variety of these kinds of items. They're perfect for gifting to any similarly-absent-minded loved ones too — stocking stuffer, anyone?" —Carrie McCabe, Senior Deals Writer

"Who doesn't want to curl up in a ridiculously soft blanket during the winter months? There is nothing I love more than hanging on my couch underneath a pile of blankets, so I plan on adding this faux fur one from Ugg into the mix. It's machine-washable and neutral enough to go with any home decor. While this throw is on sale, I plan on snagging it right away." —Julia Webb, Shopping Manager

"I usually don’t wear earbuds since they tend to fall out of my ears, but a few months ago, Bose gifted me a pair of these Ultra Open Earbuds, and I can’t get enough of them! They fit like an ear cuff, so they actually stay put. Plus, they're not noise-cancelling, which I love because I can still hear the world around me. This makes me feel a lot safer while I’m out walking. And I’m definitely not alone in loving them — Oprah even featured them on her Favorite Things List this year! Now that they're on sale, I’m thinking they’d make the perfect Christmas gift for my sister." —Rebecca Carhart, Style Writer

"Even at full price, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max was the budget pick in our best streaming devices roundup. At nearly 50% off, it's a steal. Amazon's streamer may not have the easiest interface in the world, but it does have lightning-fast Wi-Fi, robust parental controls and some of the best gaming options anywhere — including support for Xbox Game Pass (basically console gaming without the console). All for a measly $30." —Rick Broida, Senior Tech Editor

"As someone who always travels with just a carry-on, no matter how long the trip, I have to say this Travelpro suitcase is a total dream! It rolls so effortlessly, and the contour grip handle feels super comfortable to hold. I love how both sections have zippered panels that help compress my belongings, plus there are multiple pockets for all my smaller items. The best part? It has an expansion zipper that gives me an extra two inches of space, which is a lifesaver when I get carried away with souvenir shopping!" —Rebecca Carhart, Style Writer

"I love these ESW face masks. I often buy them to stick in birthday cards as a small treat or bring them on trips to share with friends. This 'juice cleanse' multipack comes with five fruit-forward masks for detoxing pores, brightening, moisturizing and soothing skin and providing anti-aging benefits. And just to note, I have sensitive skin that's prone to breakouts and they've always helped, never irritated my skin. They're great stocking stuffers, but I'll also give out a few to my girlfriends this holiday season." —Ellie Conley, Trending Writer
