Green Monday Sales 2025: Your Last Chance for Holiday Savings

Movie nights really pop on the LG C4 OLED evo. During our review, its deep blacks and rich, accurate colors paired with unusually high HDR peak brightness for an OLED made scenes sparkle even in brighter rooms, and gamers will appreciate the high refresh rate and multiple HDMI 2.1 ports for smooth 4K/120 play. The built‑in speakers are just okay—add a soundbar for punch. There’s no ATSC 3.0 tuner, and at $1,296.99 (Walmart/Beach Camera), it’s still a premium buy, but a standout for Green Monday.

Serious about 4K gaming? During our review, the Xbox Series X 1TB Digital delivered razor-sharp 4K visuals at up to 120 FPS in supported titles, with the NVMe SSD slashing load times and the Robot White finish looking clean next to current controllers. Just note there’s no optical drive, so physical game discs and Blu-rays won’t work—Game Pass shines here. At $599.99 from Microsoft, it’s a premium pick, and a few users report coil whine or fan noise under heavy loads.

For bright living rooms, Samsung’s Neo QLED really shines. In our testing, HDR pop was outstanding thanks to exceptional peak brightness, and gamers will love the very low input lag plus solid HDMI 2.1 support for 4K/120. The glossy panel handles reflections well, though you can see some haloing around bright objects in dark scenes, and there’s no Dolby Vision support. The built‑in speakers are thin on bass, so pair a soundbar; at $1,776.86 (Touchboards.com), it’s a premium, daylight‑friendly pick.

As a do‑it‑all tablet for the family, the 10.9‑inch iPad hits a sweet spot. We found the modern edge‑to‑edge design, USB‑C charging, and roughly 10 hours of battery make it great for streaming, schoolwork, and travel. Note that it only works with the first‑gen Apple Pencil and the non‑laminated display leaves a small air gap, so artists and heavy note‑takers may prefer a step up. At $349 from Apple for Green Monday, it’s compelling—just compare iPad Air deals if you want more longevity.

For fast, grab‑and‑go storage, the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD moved large photo and video projects quickly over USB‑C/USB 3.2 in our testing. The compact, rugged build with IP55 water/dust resistance and drop protection inspires confidence, and the loop makes it easy to clip to a bag. We did notice it gets warm during sustained transfers, though performance stayed consistent. Just note it ships with a short cable and lacks Thunderbolt support, so peak speeds trail Thunderbolt‑equipped drives.

If you’re VR‑curious, the Meta Quest 3S offers current‑gen mixed reality at a very approachable $299.99, running the same XR2 Gen 2 chip and Horizon OS we’ve enjoyed on pricier models. In our testing, performance and library breadth were excellent, with access to Quest titles plus PCVR via Link/Air Link. Visuals are softer than the Quest 3 due to the single lower‑resolution display and Fresnel lenses, and the headset feels bulkier over long sessions. Also, 128GB fills fast if you juggle several large games.

Commuters and Apple users will appreciate how seamlessly AirPods Pro slot into daily life. In our testing, the upgraded Active Noise Cancellation noticeably cut subway and office chatter, while Spatial Audio and Adaptive EQ made music and movies feel immersive across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The case’s built‑in speaker and improved Find My made locating misplaced buds much easier. Battery life lands around six hours with ANC on and there’s still no LDAC or aptX, but at $209 from Best Buy, they’re a strong all‑rounder on Green Monday.

During our review, Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen earbuds delivered some of the best low‑frequency noise reduction we’ve heard—perfect for flights and open offices. Call quality is excellent too, keeping your voice clear in noisy streets, and the case now supports wireless charging for drop‑and‑go top‑ups. The buds are a bit bulky and the roughly six‑hour battery life trails some rivals. At $299 they’re pricey, but if ANC is your priority, these are among the top performers we’ve tested.

Frequent flyers and open‑office workers will love the serenity the Sony WH‑1000XM5 brings. During our review, ANC performance was class‑leading, knocking down engine rumble and chatter, and we enjoyed a spacious, balanced sound that stayed engaging through long listening sessions. Battery life around 27–30 hours with noise canceling on means fewer charges. Downsides: the cups don’t fold, so the case is bulkier; some users report touch‑control or app hiccups; and there’s no aptX support—consider if you rely on that codec.

This versatile 6.5L Duo Crisp packs roughly 13 cooking modes, and in our testing the pressure‑cooker and standard multi‑cooker functions delivered reliably tender roasts and quick weeknight meals. It’s handy to have air frying built in, but the rack is undersized and loose—small items can fall through and cook unevenly. The hinged Ultimate Lid exposes a hot heating element when open, so take care around kids. We’ve also seen reports of lids sticking or breaking, so buy from a retailer with easy returns.

If you want café drinks without fuss, the Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe nails convenience. We found the one‑button operation delivers consistent espresso and larger coffees from Vertuo capsules, and the compact design tucks neatly onto crowded counters. Be aware of reliability concerns—owners report vertical leakage or lid‑locking issues over time—and the Vertuo capsules add ongoing cost compared with ground coffee or refillable options. At $199 from Kohl’s for Green Monday, it’s a great gift if you value speed over tinkering.

We found the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute impressed with powerful suction on carpets and hard floors, and the laser slim fluffy head genuinely reveals dust you’d otherwise miss. Cleaning is efficient, and the click‑in battery design makes longer sessions possible if you add a spare. It is relatively heavy for extended handheld work like stairs or car detailing, and the $649.99 price is steep. We’ve also seen reports of durability and customer‑service hiccups, so keep your receipt and consider an extended warranty.

On busy mornings, the Revlon One‑Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 can be a time saver. In our testing, it dried and styled in one pass with noticeable lift and shine, and this version feels lighter, which helps with shoulder fatigue. That said, durability is hit‑or‑miss, with some units failing and bristle tips coming loose, and it’s louder and bulkier than a standard dryer for long sessions. At $32.49 from Target, it’s a budget win on Green Monday—just consider a backup brush head and keep your receipt.

Looking for a cozy around-the-house upgrade? In our testing, the UGG Scuffette II’s plush sheepskin lining delivers instant warmth, and the open-back slip-on design makes quick coffee runs and mailbox trips effortless. We love the range of colors and full women’s size run, but our experience shows the minimal arch support and thinner-feeling sole make them best for light, indoor wear. Some reviewers recommend sizing up due to inconsistencies, so consider that when ordering from Nordstrom at $99.95 for Green Monday gifting.

Travelers will love the Anker Nano Charger’s tiny size—it disappears in a pocket yet delivers up to 20W USB‑C PD for fast top‑ups on iPhones and many Androids. In our testing it played nicely with phones, tablets, and earbuds, making it a handy spare for work bags. It can run warm during charging, and it doesn’t support Samsung’s highest Super Fast protocols. At $19.99 the value is strong, but remember you’ll need to supply your own USB‑C cable.

Planning a wedding or big holiday banquet? In our testing, these 10.25-inch White Flair plates felt extra‑rigid and handled generous buffet portions without bending, while the rippled rim adds an elegant, dressed‑up look. The catch is they’re sold in a 144‑count case—perfect for large events but overkill for small gatherings—and they’re intended for single‑use. Made from polystyrene (#6), curbside recycling is limited, so plan disposal accordingly at $84.99 for the case.

If you’re hosting a big celebration, this Grand Wedding Set nails the elegant white-and-gold look without rental hassles. During our review of event supplies, we liked the wedding‑ready aesthetic, BPA‑free disposables, and large value packs that simplify headcounts and cleanup. Our experience shows the plates can feel thin, and several buyers report the gold rim scratching or peeling, so they’re best for lighter fare. Given reports of shipping delays and slow customer service, we’d order well ahead of the date and inspect boxes on arrival.

Cooking for a family is easy with the COSORI Pro II’s roomy 5.8‑quart basket, and in our testing the presets handled weeknight staples without much babysitting. Wi‑Fi and Alexa/Google voice control let you preheat or check progress from the couch—great when juggling holiday to‑dos. We did notice fan noise, and our experience shows some users encounter loose basket screws or handle wear over time. Also note certain 5.8‑quart Cosori models were recalled; verify your unit’s eligibility before use.

Need a quick, flexible gift for a Switch owner? In our experience, Nintendo eShop gift cards are straightforward to redeem on a console or account and can cover full games, DLC, Nintendo Switch Online, or vouchers. Just know digital codes are typically non‑refundable and can occasionally face activation or retailer‑delivery delays, especially during peak holiday periods. Also, cards are region‑locked—this $50 US card won’t work on non‑US accounts—so double‑check the recipient’s region before you buy.
