The 20 best sales this weekend: Kindle accessories, iPads, AirPods and fitness equipment

Christmas is now in the rearview and 2025 is only days away, which means retailers from Walmart to Nordstrom are rolling out some after-Christmas sales to ring in the new year. Nordstrom, for example, has its annual (and massive!) Half-Yearly Sale going on now with markdowns up to 60% across fashion, beauty and home, while Walmart has unveiled a load of after-Christmas deals. Even Amazon has marked down lots of items that might tempt you to spend your new Amazon gift card on.

That's all good news, because we've seen several after-Christmas essentials on sale. If you were gifted a Kindle, for example, perhaps you need a new Kindle case (was $40, now $15) to protect your precious device. Maybe you sent all of your friends and family home with leftovers in your own Tupperware, so you need a top-up on food storage containers (was $40, now $25). If you have a gift card burning a hole through your pocket, there are some better-than-Black-Friday deals worth knowing about, like a 4-pack of Apple AirTags (was $99, now $69) for the cheapest they've been all year, or our top-rated comfortable running shoes (was $165, now $132) on sale for the same price they were on Black Friday. Below, we've pulled together even more of the deals you'll want to know about this weekend.

Make this iPad someone's go-to gadget for work, play and everything in between. With a stunning 10.9-inch display, 64GB of storage, and lightning-fast performance, this gadget multitasks like a pro: streaming, sketching, FaceTiming and beyond.

We were thrilled to spot our best overall orthopedic shoes for those with foot pain on sale at Nordstrom for a limited time. The Hoka Bondi 8 is a walking and everyday running shoe that provides the highest level of cushioning the brand offers and has been upgraded with a more stable, extended heel. The shoes are so good, AOL's health editor's husband had "horribly painful diabetic feet until he put on his first pair of Hokas." She added that now her entire family wears Hokas, right down to her 11-year-old son.

The shoe also carries ​The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance, which recognizes products that benefit foot health.

Aura is our top pick for the best digital picture frames for two simple reasons: It makes a great gift — and is easy to step up. You can upload photos in advance and even set it up for use with the recipient's Wi-Fi network — great for grandparents or anyone who's not super tech-savvy. The frame accepts photos from your phone, iCloud and Google Photos — but not Facebook, Instagram or other services.
