Want to know what's better than getting someone the perfect gift? Saving money on it. With a final push from retailers this holiday season, many are offering last-minute deals on some of the things that were probably on your list. Here are the best deals you can get this Friday:

1. The best hair dryer we've ever tested

A good hair dryer can go a long way. This is exactly what we found when we tested hair dryers earlier this year and the Harry Josh Pro Tools Pro Dryer 2000 came out on top. We loved it because it only took about 20 minutes to dry our hair and it left it sleek and shiny. It usually costs $250, which can be pricey for most, but right now you can get it for just $175. It makes an amazing gift for any loved one who's obsessed with their hair or is constantly complaining about how long it takes to dry it.

Note: Today is the last day to buy it and still have it arrive by Christmas Eve.

Get the Harry Josh Pro Tools Pro Dryer 2000 at Dermstore for $174.30 (Save $74.70)

2. A portable battery for the device lover

I'm willing to be at least 2-3 people on your list are always on their phones. This is the perfect thing to give anyone who is rarely without a device in their hands. It's usually $87, which is pricey, but we scored an exclusive coupon (XMAS2019) that takes 20% off the price, putting it at $5 more than its less powerful predecessor.

The Anker Powercore+ 26800 can charge an iPhone 6S up to NINE times on a single charge. It's even powerful enough to recharge a 2015 Macbook up to three times. That's just nuts. Plus, it has three fast-charge ports for triple-charging without sacrificing speeds.

Get the Anker Powercore+ 26800 on Amazon for $69.59 (Save $17.40) with the code "XMAS2019"

3. Xbox consoles and bundles for the gamer in your life

If you really want to wow a gamer this year, a new console is never a bad thing. Right now, you can get a Xbox One X for $100 off. But if you wanted to upgrade with a game bundle, you have a few options to choose from. The One X bundles, which all cost $399, include Fallout 76 (in white and black), Shadow of the Tomb Raider, NBA 2K19, and PlayerUnknown. If you'd prefer to spend less, the One S bundles are going for $199 and include Battlefield V, Minecraft, Forza Horizon 4, and NBA 2K19.

4. The best coffee maker on the market

After testing a variety of drip coffee makers, we were absolutely blown away by the Technivorm Moccamaster KB. Not only does it look great, but it made the best tasting pot of coffee. What really makes the Moccamaster shine is that it perfectly brews the coffee between 196ºF and 205ºF—the ideal temperature for coffee— for a smooth and not bitter taste. It's pretty pricey at $300 retail price, but right now, you can get it for $100 off at Massdrop. Any coffee fanatic would love to receive this as a gift that will last them a lifetime. However, it won't ship until January 10, but some things are worth waiting for.

Get the Technivorm Moccamaster K741 Coffee Brewer at Massdrop for $199.99 (Save $100)

5. String lights for last minute holiday decorations

In a pinch for extra holiday decorations? These LED string lights from TaoTronics will arrive before Christmas and you can get them for their lowest price with the code "USATODAYN38." They're 33 feet long, come with a remote to control 10 brightness levels and three modes, and are waterproof, so you can hang them outside. After the holidays you can hang them to set the mood for New Year's Eve or above your bed for a nice ambiance. You can also get a nice deal on Edison bulb-style outdoor string lights, too (not pictured).

6. Exclusive savings on highly popular Bluetooth speakers

If anyone on your list loves listening to music any chance they can get, a portable Bluetooth speaker might just be the perfect gift. We managed to finagle some exclusive coupon codes on the Soundcore shown above and a 2-pack of Soundcore Mini Bluetooth speakers (not pictured) from Anker so you can get great gifts at a discount. The Minis would be perfect stocking stuffers, and the larger Soundcore could technically fit into a big stocking too. We think these gifts are especially perfect for teens and college students.

The full-size Soundcore has a 24-hour playtime and is water resistant with an IPX5 rating. The Minis have a 15-hour playtime each, but they're completely waterproof with an IPX7 rating (the best you can get), and they can be paired for stereo sound (or used individually to get two gifts in one!)

7. An upgraded Instant Pot for the home chef

Everyone wants an Instant Pot—which is why some of the more popular models are sold out. But thankfully, you can still get a 6-quart Instant Pot Duo Plus for just under $90, which the second lowest price we've ever seen. While all Instant Pots can cook meals in a jiffy with thanks to their pressure cooking setting, the Plus has a few extra features like an egg cooker and cake maker and is fitted with a large blue LCD screen for easier use.

If you want the most popular 6-quart Instant Pot Duo, it's still available at Kohl's for $84.99 (Save 15% with the code "USAVEMORE").

Get the Instant Pot Duo Plus 6 Qt Pressure Cooker on Amazon for $87.95 (Save $42)
