Today, I spotted the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones and WF-C700N earbuds for less than $250 total. I also found the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and the Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl ice cream and soft serve maker down to record-low prices.

A solid pair of headphones can make a huge difference in your daily life. Whether you are traveling or working, they can really help your mood. Sony makes some of the best headphones and earbuds on the market. We love the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones because they have best-in-class voice call quality as well as more refined sound, better noise canceling and are more comfortable than the previous model. When comparing them to other options, our audio expert David Carnoy said, "The Sony XM5 headphones are the stronger overall package thanks to their impressive feature set, excellent sound and much improved voice calling." But if you want earbuds instead, the Sony WF-C700N earbuds are a solid pick. These buds, made with an ergonomic design for max comfort, are IPX4 rated so they are splash and sweat-proof. Just like the headphones, these earbuds also have multipoint connection.

 Normally, you can get the  Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for $400 and the WF-C700N earbuds for $120. However, this bundle on Amazon drops the price of both of them to just $248. That means you are getting two pieces of high-quality audio gear for just $248. That is a huge savings of $272. This bundle will arrive before Christmas if ordered today.

The new year is so much closer than you realize. If your resolution has anything to do with health and fitness, what better time than now to pick up a new smartwatch? The latest Samsung smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch 8, has a vibrant 46mm AMOLED display that shines up to 3,000 nits, along with 2GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, built-in GPS and advanced fitness tools. The useful tools include sleep coaching and vascular load monitoring. It is waterproof up to 50 meters and lasts up to 30 hours on one charge. In a review by smartwatch expert Vanessa Hand Orellana, she said, "Calling the Galaxy Watch 8 an 'ambitious' smartwatch feels a little cliché, but in this case, it actually fits." She also loved the dual sizing options and the lightweight design. Plus, the Galaxy Watch 8 can measure antioxidant levels in the skin. And the Gemini assistant is fast and genuinely helpful.

This smartwatch is usually $350, but thanks to this 29% discount, you can shave $100 off the price, bringing it down to $250. This is a record-low price that is available for both color options. Note that it is not guaranteed to arrive before Christmas if ordered today.

If you have been on social media at any point this year, I can almost guarantee you have seen the viral Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl ice cream and soft serve maker. And you know what? It is viral for a reason. This Ninja Creami model is a 13-in-1 machine that allows you to make ice cream, soft serve, frozen yogurt and more. There are seven classic scoop options and six swirl soft serve programs. You can add in your own mix-ins for an unlimited number of custom combinations and ice cream flavors. You can make up to four small cones per pint. This ice cream and soft serve maker has a compact design, so it is simple to store and will not take up much room on your counter. Plus, the whole machine is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.

This Ninja Swirl ice cream and soft serve maker normally sells for $350. However, you can take advantage of this 20% discount right now, which drops the price down to a record low $275. This will arrive before Christmas if ordered today.
