The holidays are here, and shipping deadlines are already starting to close in. We get it, you like to procrastinate and push things off until tomorrow, but one tomorrow too many may mean that you don't get your gifts in time to give them. There are a lot of great deals that are available right now, some of which we've seen since Black Friday, others which have just reduced in price again. Take a look through this great roundup, and get your orders in now, before it's too late.
For bookworms
Amazon Kindle Unlimited
A Kindle Unlimited Membership normally costs $120 at Amazon, but right now you can score an amazing 33% discount, making the total just $80.31. You get access to over a million titles, spanning from technical documents to cookbooks to fantasy novels to non-fiction.
Music, apps, games, and more
iTunes Gift Card
For a limited time, Walmart is offering $50 iTunes gift cards on sale for only $40. iTunes gift card discounts aren't all that rare, but taking 20% off is better than we regularly see and is basically free many to spend in the App and iTunes Stores. This deal is for a digital gift card which will be shipped to your email, usually immediately after purchase.
Absolute control
Plex lifetime pass
Right now the Plex lifetime pass is 25% off with code HOLIDAY25, bringing the total down to $89.99. Earlier this year the lifetime pass was selling as high as $150, but it has been going for $120 since November. Considering a yearly pass is $40, this will pay for itself in only a couple of years.
Fiery deal
Amazon Fire TV devices
Black Friday has come and gone, but Amazon wants to give you another shot at scoring its best pricing of the year on select Fire TV devices. These discounts are only around for a limited time, and there's no telling when the prices will be back again once they expire.
Smarten up
Google Home Hub + two Google Home Minis
Verizon has an awesome deal right now on Google Home products, offering the newly-released Google Home Hub at a $20 discount and throwing in two Google Home Mini smart speakers for free. All in, you're getting at least $200-worth of Google Assistant devices for less than the Hub alone would normally cost.
Coffee for less
Starbucks eGift Cards
Amazon is offering a $5 promo credit when you purchase a Starbucks eGift Card worth at least $25 and use code SBUX during checkout. The promotional credit will be automatically applied within three days of your purchase, and it'll expire on February 15th, 2019. There's a limit of one coupon use per account for this deal.
Santa saves
Toys and games Hasbro, Play-Doh, Star Wars, and more
The holidays are just around the corner and this may be your last chance to save on some of this year's must-have toys.

The Jabra Elite Active 65t true wireless earbuds are down to $139.99 on Amazon. These buds regularly sell for $189.99, so today's deal makes for a significant and is the best price we've ever seen — even better than Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts.

It attaches to the existing deadbolt so you don't have to get rid of the keys you currently have. If you need to give your kids or a guest a way into the house when you're not home, you don't have to hide a key somewhere outside. Usually $125.

Xbox Game Pass gives you access to play over 100 games on your Xbox One console or Windows 10 device. Xbox-exclusive games premiere on the service on the same day they become available for sale, while older games are added throughout the year.

For cord cutters
Roku Ultra 4K
Roku makes some of the best streaming hardware, so if you've cut the cord already or are considering doing so, you'll want to have one of these attached to your TV.

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd-Gen)
The Echo Dot isn't as obvious a choice as some of the others, but many of these smart home and security devices integrate well with Amazon's Alexa for voice control. If you want to future-proof your house even more, the Echo Dot is a great way to bring those smart home gadgets all together with ease.
Professional Grade Security

The Ring Alarm deals just keep getting better. Now you can get $20 off the 5-piece system with a free Echo Dot. Choose the 2nd gen for immediate shipping or wait a couple days for the 3rd gen. Also works on the 8- and 14-piece systems, although those versions don't have the $20 price discount.
What's cookin'?

The Shield TV has been out for quite a while at this point, but NVIDIA keeps updating it with new features, and it really just keeps getting better. It's a great streaming video box, and a pretty good gaming box as well. Normally, it sells for closer to $180.
Record it all
Yi 2.7K Dash Cam
You never know when you may be involved in an accident, and instead of hoping you can recall the details, you should let the dash cam have all the proof. This one has a wide angle lens, night vision, and much more. Clipping the on-page coupon saves you $40.

Mr. Fixit
Sugru Moldable Glue
At times we can replace our cheap cables with new ones, but sometimes there are cords or cables you can't easily replace. In that case, Sugru is a huge help to cover exposed wires, and it also comes in handy in so many other household uses.
PCMR
Razer DeathAdder Elite Gaming Mouse
This popular mouse is insanely accurate, with an ergonomic form factor and durable switches. Right now it's matching the price we saw on Black Friday. Custom colors that can be changed on the fly just add to the coolness of this gaming peripheral.
