The holiday rush is well underway, folks—it’s time to get serious about shopping. Shipping deadlines are just around the corner.

The Fire HD 8—which is on sale for $65 (was $90)—is one of Amazon’s most wallet-friendly tablets and a great Apple iPad alternative because of its brilliant eight-inch HD display, lightweight design, and low price.

The latest model features a sleeker look, up to 30 percent faster speeds, with a zippier processor, quicker charging with its USB-C port built-in (not featured on the last version) and 12 hours of battery life per charge instead of 10 hours. It also has 2GB of memory paired with 32GB of on-board storage, which is expandable up to a whopping 1TB via microSD card.

“This HD 8 boots up extremely fast. The screen movement is very smooth,” wrote a delighted tablet user. “I own an HD 10 but I like this better because the size makes it easier to hold and maneuver. It is much lighter than the 10. ...the sound quality is very good. The charge time is fast and the battery holds charge for a long time.”

I always opt for the noise-canceling mode, and it blocks out everything. My wife has to throw a couch pillow at me to get my attention and by the time I look up she's already in irritated mode, so I can tell she's been yelling my name for at least a minute.”

“I have multiple cats and dogs. Normally they freak out when I use a traditional vacuum—however, my cat was following this robot around as it cleans,” noted a five-star Amazon reviewer. “It would go around the room and clean up the hairs and litter my cats leave behind. Works great on my carpet. The cleaning brush is easy to take off and the trash bin is easy to dump out.”

Are you concerned about hair loss? Thousands of shoppers love Pura D’Or’s Gold Label products because they work to protect, strengthen and improve hair without the use of harmful additives. The formula is packed with a natural blend of oils (like argan oil) and extracts, plus it contains biotin. Nearly 17,000 reviewers swear by it.

“About two years ago my hair started falling a lot and I became incredibly concerned,” one shopper recalled. “I was using expensive Sephora shampoos but it became worse. So I started researching and I learned about this product. Not only did my hair stop falling but the conditioner [from the same company] made it soft and shiny. I naturally have frizzy and dull hair so it really did wonders to my hair and saved me from going bald.”
