The Fire TV Stick streaming device which has 76,000+ five-star reviews on Amazon, is a solid 37 percent off right now. At just $25 it’s the perfect gift for your spouse (that way you benefit), offering thousands of movies and TV episodes from services like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Peacock. It also elevates the quality of your viewing experience, with an extremely clear picture and home-theater-level audio.

A reviewer who left five stars for the device explains: “I’m a senior on a tight budget. I recently moved and hauled with me my two big-screen TVs that have been sitting for over a year because I could not find a reasonably priced cable service for the amount of TV I watch…Then I found the Fire Stick on Amazon and wondered why I didn’t know about it before. I never knew there was a device so cheap and easy to use with everything I need. I have a DSL connection and programs stream perfectly. I love the simple remote with just the necessary control features. Definitely an item you’ll get your money’s worth out of.”
