A bunch of the best products we've ever tested are on sale right now

You may not even realize you need (okay, want) a digital picture frame. Early models weren't great, but this product category has come a long way, and we think these make a pretty versatile gift idea. Tech editor Rick Broida calls the Aura Walden screen "glorious, one of the brightest and sharpest I've seen." We love this one in particular because you can pre-load photos, a nice touch if you're gifting it to, say, a less tech-savvy grandparent.

Our pick for best food storage containers is this 24-piece set from Rubbermaid, which features lockable lids, stackable containers and a lifetime guarantee. These plastic vessels are leak- and stain-proof, and of course, BPA-free.

We tested a bunch of cold brew makers before arriving at this sleek Takeya model as our winning pick. How do we love it? Let us count the ways: It's easy to use, dishwasher safe, spill-proof, shatterproof, and you can even use it to make hot coffee. Oh, and the cold brew that comes outta this thing? Chef's kiss.

First things first: Yes, you should be using a VPN. We've tested them all and crowned NordVPN the best VPN service for its next-level security features. "If anything, it might be overkill for some users," said tech editor Rick Broida. Right now you can get a subscription for up to 74% off, plus three extra months free with a two-year plan.

Beauty editor Jennifer Romolini has tested pretty much every mascara you can buy, and she found this drugstore wonder to outperform even the highest-end competitors. It lengthens, it thickens, it fills in sparse lashes. What it doesn't do is smudge off and give you raccoon eyes throughout the day.

Are you sitting down? This deal on our favorite standing desk may weaken your knees. (Luckily, this works as an old-fashioned sitting desk, too.) Tech editor Rick Broida loved the design of this desk — "the photos don't do it justice," he said — and how smoothly the motor raises and lowers the height. It's also chock full of features, like an invisible built-in charging pad.

A sale on these wireless earbuds, our fave budget pick in the category, is just music to our ears. And right now, you can get a pair at their lowest price ever. Tech editor and audio snob Rick Broida marvelled at these affordable buds when he tested them – "How can $40 earbuds possibly be this good?” he asked. But he’s going to have to change his tune during this sale: How can $20 earbuds possibly be this good?

Give the gift of better sleep this holiday season, with the winner of our best sleep tracker testing. The Oura Ring Gen3 Horizon was "like having a sleep coach on your finger," and it won handily against the competition. Get one now for $50 off.

There was a clear winner when Home editor Lisa Schweitzer did her testing to find the best Dutch oven. This Le Creuset beauty stands the test of time. Schweitzer has been using hers for almost twenty years and says it still works as well as it did on day one. She calls the price "an investment," but slightly less so during this sale.

The jetsetting Yahoo editorial team loves this bag for its anti-theft capabilities, like RFID-blocking pockets and lockable zippers. If you've got any trips planned for the new year, you could do worse than this versatile cross-body bag, our overall top pick for best travel purses. And yes, it's on sale.

I once dropped off my checked luggage with a TSA agent only to watch them toss it onto a pile of other bags and yell "Opa!" Since then, I've gotten a lot more interested in hard-side luggage. And of all the options we've tested, this one from Delsey Paris came out on top — the top of the TSA heap, sure, but also the top of our list. We love that it's expandable, lightweight, super-roomy and even kind of chic. We recommend grabbing one while it's on sale.

Finding a vacuum that doesn’t suck — sorry, we had to — can be pretty much a full-time job. And for home editor Kristin Granero, it was. After rigorous testing, Granero crowned a winner: The best cordless stick vacuum is the Tineco Pure, which beat out the likes of Dyson, Kenmore and Shark. Its solid performance, a brush head that “swivels like a dream,” and a competitive price (even more competitive right now) made it the clear winner. Amazon just slashed $100 off the price like it’s nothing, so we suggest hoovering this one up before it’s too late.

Any home gym worth its weight (barbell?) needs a good resistance band. We tested more than a dozen to find the best of the best, eventually crowning this Living Fit 4-piece set the winner. You'll get four bands, each with a different resistance level. Our tester loved how durable they were — and we don't hate the lifetime warranty, either.

Once you've cooked with a good chef's knife, you'll never go back to a sub-par blade. Home editor Lisa Schweitzer called this winning slicer the Goldilocks of the category, saying it made everything she cut feel "as soft as Marshmallow Fluff." One thing she didn't love was the price, but this deal completely chops up that criticism.

What if we told you the best pizza oven we've ever tested could be yours for $100 off? The moon hit our eye like a big pizza oven when we tested this Gozney model, which we loved for its protective coating, minimal setup, and that you can use it for more than just pizza. We think this year might be the year you finally become a pizzaiolo.

Our pick for best cookware set is already pretty affordable for how great it is. But the value's even higher right now, with a 30% discount. We love that these pots and pans can go from stove to oven, and Home editor Lisa Schweitzer said that during testing, her scrambled eggs "slid right out of the pan and left no residue."

Our veins are like 50% coffee at this point in the year, so we’re big fans of the single-serve coffee maker. The best Keurig machine, according to home editor Jessica Dodell-Feder, is the K-Café Barista Bar, which is currently on sale for 30% off. That’s only a few bucks over its lowest price of the year. Dodell-Feder loves this coffee maker for its ease of use, its “over ice” option, and its included milk frother.

More of a Nespresso person? Our favorite of all the Nespresso machines we tested is also on sale. Home editor Jessica Dodell-Feder says this nifty one-button machine made her mornings “about a million times better.” Not only does this pod coffee maker take the guesswork out of brewing your daily dose of caffeine, it also throws your used pods away for you.

We don’t discriminate between single-serve and drip coffee makers (or espresso machines, or iced coffee makers, for that matter) — we’ll take the caffeine however we can get it these days. And our budget pick for best drip coffee maker, the Cuisinart 14-Cup Coffee Maker, is even more budget-friendly during this sale. This slim-profile machine comes with lots of programming options for coffee geeks, and its reusable gold-tone filter is both environmentally friendly and makes for a more flavorful cuppa joe.

You know what they say: Two monitors are better than one. Yep, even if you're on the go. Our budget pick for best portable monitor after extensive testing was this one from MNN, which you can get for even less right now. Other portable monitors we tried are priced in the several-hundred-dollar range, so this really is a steal.

The verdict is in, and the best streaming device overall is the Roku Ultra. Tech editor Rick Broida, who "watches an embarrassing amount of TV" (his words!), prizes its clean interface and simplicity of use. It's also got a great voice remote and delivers a crisp picture. Best of all, it's on sale.

You could say we have strong opinions about speakers, but we prefer to call ourselves audiophiles. Veteran tech editor Rick Broida picked the Tribit StormBox for best outdoor speaker after extensive testing, citing its big, bright sound and extra-long battery life (up to 30 hours!). We know from experience that this speaker doesn’t go on sale very often, so we recommend you pounce on this deal.

It’s probably no surprise that Apple won our hearts (and ears) when testing the best wireless earbuds. But it may come as a surprise to you, especially if you don’t track deals as feverishly as we do, to learn that you can currently get the AirPods Pro 2 for such a steal. Tech editor Rick Broida says there’s no better option than the AirPods Pro, even for the Android crowd.

Our pick for the best car vacuum overall is also on sale currently, bringing it under $100. This model is great for those hard-to-reach spots (we're looking at you, crumbs that have been living under our seat for years), and packs the punch of a much heftier model.
