Cyber Monday probably offers your last, best last chance this year to grab spectacular savings from Target. And Target offers a wide range of products, so there’s plenty to choose from. Here are the best Cyber Monday deals we’ve found from Target so far.

Target carries plenty of our favorite audio picks, including wireless Bluetooth earbuds, portable Bluetooth speakers, and noise-cancelling headphones—and in previous years, the Black Friday deals have matched the lowest prices we’ve ever seen.

Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds Deal price: $250; street price: $278 Read our review of the best wireless Bluetooth earbuds.

Another good option from our guide to the best wireless Bluetooth headphones, our testers liked the Sony WF-1000XM4 for its excellent sound quality and helpful wind-noise reduction software. They also feature Qi-charging capability and a solid 8-hour battery life. Although they have limited control capability and may not fit either very small or very large ears, these are a nice choice for earbuds with superior noise-cancelling ability.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones Deal price: $248; street price: $300 Read our review of the best Bluetooth wireless headphones.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth wireless headphones are a great solution for working in a noisy environment. Feature-packed and comfortable enough to wear all day, they sound great and will significantly reduce the sound of voices around you. While we found that they need some fine-tuning out of the box, if you are willing to put some effort into adjusting the equalizer settings in the app, the XM4 can sound better than just about any other Bluetooth headphones out there.

Bose QuietComfort 35 Series II Noise-Cancelling Headphones Deal price: $180; street price: $280 Read our review of the best noise-cancelling headphones.

Bose's QuietComfort 35s are a pair of noise-cancelling headphones we like for those who do not suffer from the eardrum suck phenomenon. They're extremely comfortable and sounded great during testing, but this pair lacks the adjustable noise cancellation of the newer 700 series which helps prevent discomfort due to the aforementioned eardrum suck.

Bose Sleepbuds II Sleep Headphones Deal price: $200; street price: $250 Read our review of the best sleep headphones.

Sleep headphones help you block out sound and listen to music while you're drifting off, and the Bose Sleepbuds are the only options we tested that legitimately masked the sound around you. They don't offer full noise cancellation, but they effectively reduce sound when worn, and will further mask it by playing white noise or other sounds. However, they lack wireless streaming capabilities, so you're limited to preloading music and sounds from the Bose Sleep app. Even on sale, these 'buds are pricey for how limited they are—but if you're desperate for a noise-reduction solution for sleep, we think these are your best bet.

Target is known as a one-stop shop for stocking up on new-kid essentials, so whether you’re looking for diapers or diaper pails, co-sleepers or crib mattresses, baby bouncers or baby slings, you might find it for less this Black Friday.

Though discounts on gaming consoles will be hard to come by, you’ll likely be able to nab gaming accessories—such as Xbox controllers and Nintendo Switch carrying cases—for less this Black Friday. In the past, Target’s even offered solid discounts on some of our favorite video games.

Oculus Quest 2 VR Headset 128 GB + $50 Target Gift Card Deal price: $300; street price: $350 Read our review of the best VR headset.

This deal is a rare deal on our top virtual reality headset pick. Its cord-free design allows it to be used without the aid of a computer—though you can purchase a separate cable to connect for better performance—making the Quest 2 the easiest way to access VR for a majority of people. While the specs won't compare to higher end options like the Valve Index, the Quest offers solid enough visuals and tracking without needing to spend thousands of dollars on a fancy setup.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate 3-Month Membership Deal price: $25 (For new users only, price reverts to $15/month after promotion ends.); street price: $40 Read our review of the best game consoles.

Get the most out of your Xbox Series X with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate 3-Month Membership, which you can score for just $25 for new users (price reverts to $15/month after promotion ends). Combining Xbox Live Gold with Game Pass, this deal allows you to have online multiplayer access and a catalog of games at your fingertips, from Xbox 360-era classics to new releases. We've seen for as low as $1 in the past, but this is still a nice time to save if you've been toying with the idea of investing in this subscription.

Target carries a few Wirecutter-recommended TVs. But solid Black Friday deals might be difficult to find. So if a pick you’ve had your eye on drops, we recommend snapping it up as soon as you can.

Target’s Black Friday smartphone deals are usually accompanied by service plan promotions, so they might not be applicable to every shopper. But if the details of the promotion work for you, this could be a great time to upgrade your phone while saving some money.

Instant Pot Duo 6-Quart Pressure Cooker Bundle Deal price: $60; street price: $90 Read our review of the best electric pressure cooker.

Save tons of time and valuable kitchen counter real estate with the 9-in-1 Instant Pot Duo 6-Quart electric pressure cooker, back down to $60 with an additional 5% off for Target RedCard holders and bundled with some extra accessories. Our top pick offers a user-friendly control panel and all the cooking functions we think you'll need. We all have busy schedules but still want to cook effortlessly delicious meals, so if you haven't jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon yet, this is a chance to do so affordably.

Instant Pot Duo Plus 6-Quart Pressure Cooker Bundle Deal price: $60; street price: $130 Read our review of the best electric pressure cooker is an Instant Pot.

A variant of our top pick, the Instant Pot Duo Plus 6-Quart Pressure Cooker is also down to $60 with an additional 5% off for Target RedCard holders and bundled with some extra accessories. It comes with a few extra features over the Instant Pot Duo, including sous vide and sterilizing settings, a pot with rubbery stoppers to keep it from spinning while you stir, and slightly more intuitive controls. Now is a great chance to get this upgraded model for the same price as the basic Duo.

Sodastream Terra Soda Maker Deal price: $60; street price: $80 Read our review of the best soda maker.

Whether you want to reduce your consumption of single-use plastic bottles or cut back on additive-laden sodas, consider the Sodastream Terra. This ergonomic soda maker boasts a slim silhouette and Quick Connect CO2 cylinder technology—just be aware that it uses a different CO2 canister than the Fizzi and Fizzi Onetouch, so any old cylinders you have may not be compatible. Though this model has one carbonation button instead of the three settings of our top pick, it still works similarly.

Dash Mini Waffle Maker Deal price: $10; street price: $15 Read our review of the best "absolute best, Wirecutter-approved white elephant gifts under $25".

Wirecutter has recommendations for great waffle makers, but on occasion everyone just wants something adorable and small (about the diameter of an Eggo). This mini Dash waffle maker is nonstick for easy waffle extraction, and small enough that storage isn’t a problem. It also comes backed by a one-year warranty. We recommend it in our guide to the absolute best white elephant gifts for less than $25. It requires store pickup or needs to be added to a qualifying order over $39. The gingerbread style (and a few others) are down to a new low of $10 from $15.

Anova Precision Cooker Nano Sous Vide Machine Deal price: $100; street price: $128 Read our review of the best sous vide machine and gear.

With unbeatable accuracy, relatively small size, and the ability to work with a huge range of containers, it's no surprise the Anova Precision Cooker Nano is our top sous vide machine pick. The quiet, user-friendly Anova also boasts an intuitive touchscreen interface and a beep alert when the water comes to temperature. Though we've seen lower prices in the past, this drop to $100 is still a solid discount for those who want to try living la vida sous vide.

OXO Good Grips 3-Qt Glass Baking Dish with Lid Deal price: $16; street price: $20 Read our review of the best 13-by-9 casserole dish.

Update 2: Now only available from Target. Great for everyday meals, our budget pick for the best 13-by-9 casserole dish is inexpensive and made of clear borosilicate glass that bakes just as evenly as our more expensive picks. We also appreciate its large, easy-to-grip handles and its included lid that makes storing leftovers a breeze. Right now, you can snag this OXO baking dish for a price just shy of the lowest price we've seen.

Target’s a great place to shop for grooming, oral-care, and hair-care products. The retailer stocks Wirecutter’s top picks in our women’s razor and electric toothbrush guides, as well as some of our recommended water flossers and hair clippers.

Philips Norelco Multigroom Series 7000 MG7750 Beard Trimmer Deal price: $35; street price: $55 Read our review of the best electric razors.

Offering everything we look for in a great beard trimmer, the Philips Norelco Multigroom Series 7000 is now down to $35 with store pickup—matching the low we've seen. The Multigroom is compact, easy to hold, and sits right in the Goldilocks zone for power—powerful enough to work efficiently but not so powerful that an accidental slip leaves you with half a mustache. Fifteen guide combs, 3 trimmer heads, a small foil shaver head, and a nose hair trimmer are all included in this package.

Oral-B Pro 1000 Electric Toothbrush Deal price: $30; street price: $40 Read our review of the best electric toothbrush.

Down to $30, this is a solid deal on our top electric toothbrush pick, and has been newly redesigned and improved, in our testers' opinion. With a built-in two-minute timer and a wide selection of compatible brush heads, the Oral-B Pro 1000's new design also no longer has the gunk-collecting ridges that we considered to be a flaw but not a dealbreaker in our review. The only drawback we found is that it tends to be louder than our other electric toothbrush picks. If ordering from Walmart, choose store pickup to bypass any pesky shipping fees.

TP-Link RE605X Wi-Fi Extender Deal price: $90; street price: $100 Read our review of the best Wi-Fi extender and signal booster.

Just because you have fast internet doesn't mean every room in your home can access it. Our upgrade pick for the best Wi-Fi extender, the TP-Link RE605X is a bit pricier than our top pick, but it’s a good choice if more speed and increased reliability are the most important factors to you. Using the newer Wi-Fi 6 standard, this makes the RE605X a good choice for homes that have a gigabit internet connection.

Garmin Forerunner 245 Music GPS Running Watch Deal price: $250; street price: $325 Read our review of the best GPS running watches.

Every avid runner can benefit from a trustworthy running watch if they want to push their capabilities to the next level or supplement their training with data. Matching the lowest price we've seen at $250 in three colors, the Garmin Forerunner 245 Music boasts enhanced features like notifications, calendar syncing, and local weather forecasting. Overall, now is a great opportunity to save on the upgraded variant of our top GPS running watch pick if you're looking for a model with built-in music streaming and enhanced storage capabilities, letting you potentially run phone-less and still listen to your tunes.

Tile Mate (2022) Bluetooth Tracker Deal price: $20; street price: $25 Read our review of the best Bluetooth trackers.

A Bluetooth tracker is a great tool for finding oft-lost items like keys, and the Tile Mate is the best one we've tested and used for Android users. The Tile Mate's Bluetooth range reaches around 150 feet, and it has a replaceable battery, giving the tracker a longer lifespan than previous generation Tile trackers. Even when out of Bluetooth range, the crowd-finding feature allows others with the Tile app to help you anonymously locate what's missing. This is the first drop for the newest version of the Mate - make sure you choose in-store pickup to grab this deal.

Google Nest Hub Smart Display (2nd Gen) Deal price: $50; street price: $100 Read our review of the best smart display for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

The Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) offers most of the same features as the larger Google smart displays, but ditches the camera. Coming in at around 7 inches, it’s the perfect size for a bedside table—especially given the Nest's standout sleep tracking abilities. This deal matches the lowest price we've seen, so don't miss out on this chance to pick up this useful smart screen.

Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds Deal price: $250; street price: $278 Read our review of the best wireless Bluetooth earbuds.

Another good option from our guide to the best wireless Bluetooth headphones, our testers liked the Sony WF-1000XM4 for its excellent sound quality and helpful wind-noise reduction software. They also feature Qi-charging capability and a solid 8-hour battery life. Although they have limited control capability and may not fit either very small or very large ears, these are a nice choice for earbuds with superior noise-cancelling ability.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet (32 GB, 10th generation) Deal price: $45; street price: $75 Read our review of the best Android tablets.

An incredibly affordable tablet that gets the job done, the Fire HD 8 is a great option if you're looking for a device that the whole family can use. Our budget pick runs Fire OS quickly and offers 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, but we found the 1280x800 screen wasn't as sharp as the competition. As long as you don't mind missing out on Google Play store/apps, this deal is an excellent chance to save on a solid Amazon-powered media tablet.

Google Chromecast with Google TV Deal price: $40; street price: $50 Read our review of the best media streaming devices.

Whether you're desperately searching for a last-minute gift or you just want to binge your favorite show in peace, consider the Google Chromecast with Google TV. Down to $40, the newly-redesigned Chromecast recently dethroned the Roku Streaming Stick+ as our top media streaming device pick because it boasts an intuitive interface, a useful remote that offers voice search, and 4K HDR video support (including Dolby Vision).

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Generation) Smart Speaker Deal price: $20; street price: $40 Read our review of the best smart-home devices to help seniors age in place.

The Echo Dot, our budget Alexa smart speaker pick for seniors, is a great way to integrate smart speaker technology into your home without making a major investment. If speaker quality isn't a huge concern for you, this is a great opportunity to save on a device that can be used for streaming music, calling and messaging loved ones and caregivers, and more.

Aura Mason Luxe Digital Photo Frame Deal price: $220; street price: $250 Read our review of the best digital photo frame.

A digital photo frame lets you easily add images—including beautiful travel shots and family photos—to the frame from anywhere. The Aura Mason Luxe is an upgrade to our top pick, the Mason frame. The pricier Mason Luxe comes with a couple of specific improvements over the original Mason: a slightly larger 2K screen and the ability to play videos. If those added features appeal to you, it's down to a new low price of $220 from $250.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones Deal price: $248; street price: $300 Read our review of the best Bluetooth wireless headphones.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth wireless headphones are a great solution for working in a noisy environment. Feature-packed and comfortable enough to wear all day, they sound great and will significantly reduce the sound of voices around you. While we found that they need some fine-tuning out of the box, if you are willing to put some effort into adjusting the equalizer settings in the app, the XM4 can sound better than just about any other Bluetooth headphones out there.

Bose QuietComfort 35 Series II Noise-Cancelling Headphones Deal price: $180; street price: $280 Read our review of the best noise-cancelling headphones.

Bose's QuietComfort 35s are a pair of noise-cancelling headphones we like for those who do not suffer from the eardrum suck phenomenon. They're extremely comfortable and sounded great during testing, but this pair lacks the adjustable noise cancellation of the newer 700 series which helps prevent discomfort due to the aforementioned eardrum suck.

Roku Streaming Stick 4K Deal price: $30; street price: $50 Read our review of the best media streaming devices.

With so many streaming services taking over our consumption of media, it's nice to have a dedicated media streamer that consolidates all of your subscriptions into a single place and does the job well. As our upcoming runner-up pick, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K replaces the older Streaming Stick+, doing everything the older model did plus a few new tricks. The new Streaming Stick 4K supports all major 4K HDR standards, including Dolby Vision, HLG, and HDR10+, as well as Dolby Atmos audio. The inclusion of AirPlay 2 also makes it a good choice for streaming music and movies from Apple devices as well. The only major caveat is that Roku is currently in a dispute with Google, which resulted in the removal of the YouTube TV app for a long time and may cause the removal of the regular YouTube app soon. But if you're not going to be using this streaming stick for YouTube content, this is an excellent streaming stick to pick up.

Arlo Essential Video Doorbell (Wired) Deal price: $80; street price: $130 Read our review of the best smart doorbell cameras.

Besides offering great hardware and fast response times, the Arlo was the only smart doorbell we tested that could distinguish among people, animals, vehicles, or packages—so it kept false alerts to a minimum (a common issue we ran into with other models). If you want advanced sensing options and the ability to capture video clips up to five minutes long, you'll need a $3-per-month Arlo Smart subscription. But overall we think this is a fair price for these essential features.

GoPro HERO9 Action Camera Deal price: $350; street price: $425 Read our review of the best action camera.

Whether you're rock climbing or skydiving, an action camera will ensure every moment is beautifully captured for posterity. The HERO9 is last year's model from GoPro's extensive camera line, but it still currently stands as our top action camera pick. Between its impressive camera stabilization and vibrant detailed 5.3K resolution video, and other added features such as slow-motion, time-lapse, and phone connectivity, the GoPro is a complete video package. While the newly released HERO10 does offer better resolution for high-speed videos—unless you plan on making extensive use of slow motion video—the HERO9 is still an extremely capable option when compared side by side.

Apple Pencil (1st Generation) Deal price: $80; street price: $100 Read our review of the best stylus for your iPad.

We believe this first generation Apple Pencil is the best stylus to use with several iPad models, including the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, 10.5-inch iPad Pro, 12.9-inch iPad Pro (1st and 2nd Generation), 9.7-inch iPad (6th Generation), 10.5-inch iPad Air, and iPad Mini (5th generation). Great for professional illustration and calligraphy, the Apple Pencil's sensitivity for art and writing purposes generally surpasses its more affordable competitors. While we have seen outlier deals around $60 for this pick, this offer matches the typical deal price we see for the earlier generation of Apple stylus.

While Target’s toy selection doesn’t have a lot of overlap with our Wirecutter picks, the retailer does carry several of our recommended board games, such as Catan, Codenames and Sushi Go.

Ticket to Ride Board Game Deal price: $22; street price: $33 Read our review of the best beginner board games for adults.

Available from Target with store pickup. Ticket to Ride is a train-themed game we recommend for new gamers in our guide to the best beginner board games for adults. It's simple to learn and challenges players to build the best train routes across North America. If you're looking for a new game night staple, then consider this one. At just $22, this is the lowest price we've seen for Ticket to Ride in recent years.

Catan Board Game Deal price: $22; street price: $43 Read our review of the best beginner board games for adults.

Available from Target with store pickup. Nine out of 10 friends agree: Catan is the easiest way to test your relationships. (The tenth friend is no longer speaking to the rest of the group due to a sheep-related incident.) During each hour-long game, 3-4 players work together to create their own civilization by collecting and trading resources to create a large, interconnected networks of towns, and the first person to reach 10 points wins. Our next-level strategy game pick from our guide to the best beginner board games for adults is down to just a buck shy of the lowest price we've seen at $22.

Lego Classic Medium Creative Brick Box Deal price: $24; street price: $28 Read our review of the best Lego sets for kids.

If you want a large variety of brick shapes and colors bearing the Lego brand, the Lego Classic Medium Creative Brick Box is a time-tested choice. We recommend it in our guide to the best Lego sets for kids as a more advanced option for those that demonstrate that they're ready for creative and open play. This 484-piece set is down to $24 from a street price around $28. Even though that isn't a big discount, it matches the previous low. Shipping is delayed, so choose store pickup to grab it immediately without the shipping fees.

Codenames Game Deal price: $8; street price: $15 Read our review of the best beginner board games for adults.

Codenames will make an excellent addition to your next game night, especially if you like wordplay games. This spy-themed word-affiliation game divides groups into two teams, with one player per team taking on the role of spymaster. On their turn, the spymaster offers single-word clues in an attempt to help their team guess which cards correspond with their hints. Simple but fun, it's the kind of game where you can really flex your friendship's synchronicity or laugh as the night dissolves into delightful chaos. Just $8 with store pickup or a larger Target purchase, this is an exceptional price for it. Also available from Amazon.

Hape Penguin Musical Wobbler Deal price: $10; street price: $14 Read our review of toys for kids with disabilities that have universal appeal.

With a rounded design and gentle, windchime-like melody, the Hape Penguin Musical Wobbler is sure to please babies without causing headaches for caretakers. The wooden base ensures the toy stays in place, but even the slightest of taps can make this jingly penguin wobble playfully. Child-safe paint finish and sturdy wood construction make this a long-lasting toy your child can love for years to come.  At $10, this is a new low.

Magna-Qubix Magnetic Building Toy (29-piece) Deal price: $17; street price: $28 Read our review of the best gifts for 4-year-olds.

This set of three-dimensional pyramids, prisms, and cubes is perfect for any kid who enjoys building and magnets. Our young tester particularly liked Magna-Qubix for adding more details to his structures, and liked using the unique shapes for other fun creations like dinosaurs and robots. One of our magnificent magnet gift picks for toddlers, the Magna-Qubix (29-piece) is available for $17 for store pickup, down from a street price around $28.

Mysterium Board Game Deal price: $25; street price: $40 Read our review of the best board games.

An excellent deal if you're looking to add another option to your game night, Mysterium is an expansive and continuous co-op adventure game from our guide to the best board games. Part Clue and part Dixit, players are psychics who must work together to solve a murder case based on ambiguous, beautifully illustrated “vision” cards that are open to interpretation. The fun of the game comes when Mysterium requires you to find the subtle connections between cards and to consider how each person is most likely to read them.

7 Wonders Board Game Deal price: $30; street price: $45 Read our review of the best beginner board games for adults.

Nobody has an entire evening to create a civilization, so 7 Wonders is an excellent option for those looking for a board game that won't leave everyone bored by the end of the night. This civilization-building card-drafting game is playable with up to seven people, and it challenges players to build up a glorious civilization over the course of 18 turns (roughly 30 minutes games). While the rules are easy to grasp and the rounds are quick, there is plenty of strategy and depth to allow plenty of replayability.

Target frequently offers good deals on the best vacuums from Dyson and Roomba during big sales events. Though you can almost always find vacuum discounts throughout the year, the ones we see during Black Friday are usually the best.

We are currently searching for the best deals on Wirecutter picks in this category and will add them here if we find them.

Target carries a ton of Wirecutter-approved home goods, including our top two shower curtain picks, our budget cotton sheets pick, and our budget flannel sheets pick. We’ll also be keeping an eye out for deals on our preferred air care products like purifiers and fans and a couple of our favorite furniture items—like one of our space-saving dining table picks.

Tuft and Needle Mint Mattress (Full) Deal price: $700; street price: $850 Read our review of the Tuft & Needle mattress.

Not every mattress is created equally, and a quality bed can turn your restless nights into comfortable relaxation hours. Tuft & Needle’s more expensive all-foam mattress, the Mint features a third layer of foam that should appeal to most people, particularly side-sleepers or those who switch positions a lot. While we haven't group-tested the Mint, our tester found it to be decently supportive, with more resilience than most all-foam mattresses.

Casaluna Mid Weight Down Comforter (Queen) Deal price: $102; street price: $170 Read our review of the best comforters.

If you’re conscientious about how your down is sourced but you can’t or don’t want to splurge on one of our pricier picks, the Casaluna is one of the most affordable comforters on our list—all while being RDS-certified for ethical down. Despite being a fraction of the cost of our other picks, the Casaluna comforter kept us nice and warm without overheating. The cotton sateen outer shell is thick and well sewn, and this comforter was one of the only budget options that didn’t release tufts of fluff in our shake tests.
