2024 has been an incredible year for tech deals, and that was never more evident than with the prices we saw during Black Friday at the end of November. The deals stop for nobody, however, and with Christmas on the horizon there's still huge discounts to be had across a range of top tech in New Zealand.

If you need help shopping for your loved ones these holidays, we've got an array of Christmas gift ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Still, with so many large discounts available across New Zealand retailers like Noel Leeming, PB Tech and Amazon AU, you don't need to get deep into the weeds to find a great deal.

That's why we've done the work for you – comparing discounts and analysing past prices – to find you the five best deals available in New Zealand right now. Of course, Christmas deals and early Boxing Day deals are stealing the focus right now – and you can find all the best Boxing Day sales below.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max: was NZ$129 now NZ$79 at Noel Leeming

Much of the best Amazon-owned tech doesn't consistently ship to New Zealand, including Ring and Kindle, as well as Fire TV Sticks. Luckily, thanks to this Noel Leeming deal, you can still massively save on one of the best streaming devices on the market. Offering 4K viewing, it's incredibly easy to use and setup, making watching the best streaming services easy as pie.

JBL Go 4 Bluetooth speaker
JBL Go 4 Bluetooth speaker: was NZ$68.88 now NZ$50.55 at Amazon

Save NZ$18.33

Light and compact, with an affordable price even at RRP and an IP67 water and dustproof rating that means it can accompany you anywhere, if you're after a smaller Bluetooth speaker – or it's on a loved ones Christmas wishlist – this deal is for you. Its sound quality won't blow you away, but with an array of colourways for a smidge over NZ$50, there's a lot to like about this discount.

Ring Stick Up Cam Pro (plug-in)
Ring Stick Up Cam Pro (plug-in): was NZ$343.51 now NZ$205.65 at Amazon

Save NZ$137.86

We've only reviewed the battery model, but the two products are exactly the same – this model just has to be wired in. Fast and reliable, this camera's solid design, weatherproofing, reliable app and ability to work inside and outside make it a very strong wireless security camera. Some features, like recording, are stuck behind a subscription, though.

LEGO Ideas The Nightmare Before Christmas
LEGO Ideas The Nightmare Before Christmas: was NZ$344.65 now NZ$275.71 at Amazon

Save NZ$68.94

It might not quite be on theme as a gift for Christmas, but if you're looking for a merry activity to keep you jolly heading towards the 25th, this is hard to beat. Throw on the soundtrack, make a cuppa tea and enjoy.

Frameo 15.6-inch digital photo frame
Frameo 15.6-inch digital photo frame: was NZ$252.73 now NZ$195.30 at Amazon

Just instantly share photos from your phone to the frame, cycle through all your favourite moments – not just one – with this large digital frame that can even play videos with sound.

Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus + Ring Chime
Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus + Ring Chime: was NZ$295.60 now NZ$196.70 at Amazon

Save NZ$98.90

The best battery-powered video doorbell that money can buy, the Plus model offers a better battery life and improved camera quality, with a helpful head-to-toe view. We were a touch disappointed by its price in our review, but with this discount it's very hard to ignore. Plus, the chime lets you enjoy the experience of a nice song playing whenever you get a visitor.

Sony Pulse Elite headset
Sony Pulse Elite headset: was NZ$275.67 now NZ$225.12 at Amazon

Save NZ$50.55

Their funky design might turn you off, but the Pulse Elite headset is a truly superb headset for the PS5. The headset’s planar magnetic drivers provide an excellent audio experience, and its retractable mic is perfect for those who need a quality mic when playing a multiplayer game, but don't want it in their face when gaming solo. This isn't quite the NZ$205 we saw earlier this month, but it's still a solid deal worth considering for PlayStation gamers.

Breville The Barista Touch (Black Truffle
Breville The Barista Touch (Black Truffle: was NZ$1,699.95 now NZ$1,199 at Noel Leeming

Save NZ$500.95
The Breville the Barista Touch makes delicious coffee simple thanks to its integrated grinder with user-friendly assisted tamping and auto-dosing to produce great results. Even for those who love a cappuccino, simply choose how you like your coffee with its intuitive touchscreen the machine does the rest. Working just as well for quick caffeine hits as it does for those methodical Sunday morning brews, the Barista Touch is an investment, but it’s one of the best espresso machines for a reason.

HP 17.3-inch Laptop
HP 17.3-inch Laptop : was NZ$2,599 now NZ$1,429 at HP Store New Zealand

Save NZ$1170

If you're looking for a laptop with a large display without paying exorbitant prices, this HP deal is for you. With a massive 17.3-inch display, we think this laptop is one of the best 17-inch laptops when shopping on a budget. With a Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB storage and fast-charging battery, it's made for work.

HP Spectre x360 16-inch 2-in-1 laptop
HP Spectre x360 16-inch 2-in-1 laptop: was NZ$5,299 now NZ$3,444 at HP Store New Zealand

Save NZ$1,855
If you're not sure the Envy has enough oomph, the Spectre certainly will. If you're a gamer, content creator or professional who wants to combine portability of a tablet with the power needed to get your job done, the HP Spectre x 360 is for you. Usually exceedingly pricey, this 35% discount makes it dramatically easier to recommend. Its AI functionality, Poly Studio audio, a touchpad with haptic feedback and 2560 x 1600 resolution doesn't hurt, either.

Secretlab Titan Evo (2022)
Secretlab Titan Evo (2022): was NZ$1,149 now NZ$999 at Secretlab

Save NZ$150

It just looks comfortable, doesn't it? Well, having got our hands on the Titan Evo back in June of 2022, we can confirm it's as comfy as it looks. While we called it one of the best gaming chairs on the market, which it undoubtedly is, the Titan Evo isn't gaming-exclusive. With an exceptionally customisable lumbar support, recline and tilt adjustability, and an included neck pillow, we can't find too much fault at this price. If you need a chair for long gaming or working sessions, this could be it.
