Are Cyber Monday deals under $25 worth buying?

Maybe! While many people use major holiday sales to shop for big-ticket items like a new TV or laptop, there’s nothing wrong with saving on everyday essentials or smaller gifts like towels and charging cables. CNET’s shopping team only shows you the deals we think might be worth your time and money.

What should I look for in a Cyber Monday deal under $25?

Pay special attention to a product’s brand or manufacturer. During major shopping events like Cyber Monday and Black Friday, many retailers — especially Amazon and Walmart — are flooded with cheap knock-offs and outlandish offers from sketchy third-party vendors. Look for popular and trusted name brands, and ensure that your order is being fulfilled by an official retailer or the manufacturer directly. This information is usually found beneath the product name or the “add to cart” button.
