1. Best Tablet Deal: Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+

Pros

  • Runs on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
  • External memory expandable to 1TB
  • 12GB RAM and 120Hz refresh rate
  • Dual rear cameras with ultra-wide angle
  • Water and dust resistant
  • Includes S Pen

It comes with an S Pen clipped to the back, which can be quickly retrieved to jot down notes on the GoodNotes app, draw on Clip Studio Paint or annotate text. Unlike previous iterations, the Galaxy Tab S9 series is water- and dust-resistant for the first time ever, so you can hang out with your tablet in the outdoors, worry-free. The device has front and dual rear cameras that support ultra-wide view, even offering 4K video recording. On a full charge, you can browse the internet for up to 10 hours.

2. Best Smartphone Deal: Xiaomi POCO F5 

Pros

  • Runs on Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2
  • 64MP triple camera system
  • 14.8-hour of video playback
  • RAM expands to 19GB
  • Dolby Vision and Atmos

Cons

  • 5G on Pixel may not be supported in the region

Waiting to get your hands on the latest model of a Xiaomi smartphone? The newly released POCO F5 is discounted till stocks last. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset, which came out in 2023, so expect performance that rivals that of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 series. This processor backs 64MP triple rear cameras equipped with tripod-like stabilisation and faster capture times. Let's not forget the large 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and a palette of 68 billion colours supported by Dolby Vision. When gamers are in need, they can borrow an additional 7GB ROM to expand the RAM to 19GB on the go. Reviews say the camera is unparalleled - even professional photographers in the comments say so. Battery life is noticeably longer than preceding models and so this is, perhaps, the best Android phone out there for the price.

While the oval brush adds bouncy beach waves, the paddle brush smooths the hair down for a straighter look.

In a single appliance, you get to enjoy the capabilities of a convection oven that uses hot air to cook, for a healthier, oil-free option. Buyers say they can customise the doneness of the food by simply switching around the trays, but do note that the racks can be tricky to clean. We have more countertop air fryer ovens listed here .

The six-litre multifunctional baking tool has a convenient knob on the side that takes the machine through 10 speeds and a pulse function, thanks to the powerful 1,000-watt motor. It arrives with three accessories - an aluminium dough hook for kneading up to 1.5kg flour, a beater for heavy-duty mixing and a stainless steel whisk for whipping cream. A transparent lid helps to contain the batter inside the bowl, and you can add ingredients safely via the feeding hatch. According to reviewers, it does an excellent job of kneading pizza and chapati dough, and whipping eggs for its price tag. They put it to use on the daily, with no complaints on the noise front either.

Warranty:  The manufacturer offers a two-year warranty. Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh23 and a two-year extended warranty for Dh33.

Reviewers mention that their feet don't hurt in these work shoes, but do note that they're not breathable enough. But, you can expect to break into the pair from day one and have the ergonomic footbed massage you with every step.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh25 and a two-year extended warranty for Dh32.

11. Best Perfume Deal: Elizabeth Arden White Tea Eau de Toilette

If you haven't heard, tea scents are all the rage in the world of fragrances. This unique blend can be best tested out with a bottle from Elizabeth Arden's tea collection. The White Tea perfume is a musky-woody floral, smelling clean and fresh on the wearer. It opens with blood orange, mandarin oil and bergamot to a heart of sea breeze accord and into the closing notes of tonka bean and warm musk. The fragrance can be layered  to create a more complex 'you' scent, as stated by the brand. Reviewers love how lightweight the perfume is but still carries a strong sillage that tends to linger.
