Unlike the day after Thanksgiving, when people are rushing online and to the stores to look for deals, the day after Christmas is usually a time to recover from the festivities and check your budget to see how much all that gifting has cost you. However, if you’re in a shopping mood, or if you suddenly realized you forgot somebody important, there are still some deals out there.

For example, Nintendo is offering a bunch of its best-known games at deals ranging from 25 to 50 percent off. These include Princess Peach: Showtime ($41.99 down from $59.99), The Legend of Zelda, Echoes of Wisdom (also $41.99 down from $59.99), Super Mario Odyssey ($39.99 down from $59.99), and a slew of others. Non-Nintendo Switch games, like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition ($39.99 down from $69.99) for Switch 2, are available as well.

Amazon is still offering major discounts on some of its smart speakers. For example, the Amazon Echo Spot, a nifty bedside smart speaker / clock, is on sale at Amazon for $44.99 down from $79.99, the lowest price it has sold for. If you want something with a screen, the Echo Show 5 is available at Amazon for $59.99, down from $89.99, and while it’s gone down as low as $39.99 in the past, this isn’t a bad price if you want one now.
