Best Kindle deal
Why we like it
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) is one of the most popular Kindle models on the market, and we rarely see it go on sale (even on Black Friday). So, if your mom’s a reader, you might want to jump on this deal ASAP.
The Kindle Paperwhite (16 GB) has a 6.8-inch display, thinner borders than previous models, and an adjustable warm light that makes reading easier on the eyes. With up to 10 weeks of battery life and 20% faster page turns, the Kindle Paperwhite is a top-notch e-reader.
Thanks to its anti-glare display (300 ppi glare-free display), you can even read it in the glaring sunlight without missing a beat. It’s also waterproof, making it the ultimate beach companion for the summer months.

Best Echo deal
Why we like it
The Amazon Echo Dot (latest release) is a staple in any smart home setup. Once you have one, you’ll be saying, “Hey, Alexa,” all the time. (I’ll admit that I miss my Echo whenever I travel.) And with this deal, you can get one for just $27.99.
The Amazon Echo Dot does everything from playing music and answering questions to controlling smart home devices and setting reminders. You can start your vacuum, change the temperature on the thermostat, and play your favorite song without lifting a finger.

Best Amazon Fire TV deal
Why we like it
The 55-inch Amazon Fire TV omni QLED series offers a 4K Quantum Dot Display that’ll take your mom’s viewing experience to the next level, whether she’s watching Gordon Ramsey roast his competition or catching up on her favorite rom-com. The adaptive brightness also keeps your eyes comfortable in any lighting condition.
Plus, with the Fire TV Ambient Experience, she can display her favorite artwork or personal photos on the screen whenever she’s not using it. (Think: photos of the grandkids, family vacations, or beautiful landscapes.)
