Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale is now officially behind us, but some deals from the event are still available to grab for a short time. While plenty of big-ticket items like TVs and laptops are still reduced, time is also running out to stock up on smaller items, like household essentials or tech accessories, for less. Why not get a head start on your holiday shopping and snag some stocking stuffers?

CNET’s team of shopping experts has sifted through page after page of deals and we’ve rounded up the best ones under $25 that are still live. Plus, we’ll continue to update this list, so keep checking back for any lingering deals. Prefer Best Buy or Walmart? We’ve got you covered with the top price drops available from all retailers.

If any of these deals pique your interest, make sure to shop sooner rather than later. Since the sale is officially over, we’re expecting many of the discounted items to return to their retail price anytime now.
