With summer vacations still stretching off into the distance, taking advantage of Prime Day board game deals or snagging some discounted toys could be a very smart move. The WIRED Reviews team has a gaggle of kids of all ages between us, and most of us are still big kids at heart, so we've tried a lot of board games and toys over the years. Some of the best family board games are on sale for Prime Day. You can also find deals on some of the best STEM toys. I have handpicked a selection of WIRED-tested and -approved board games and toys right here, and I'll keep adding to this list during the Prime Days sales through July 11.

I made a joke earlier this week in my family group chat that everybody was getting 2 and a macaroni picture frame for Christmas. But seriously, have you seen those grocery store prices? I'm shopping for 20 people, and my bank account is already wincing. Luckily, with these Cyber Monday deals under 50, holiday shopping doesn't have to be pricey. We've rounded up deals on affordable tested-and-approved gear so you can get your shopping done without crying afterward. Make sure you check out our live Cyber Monday deals tracker here. For under 20, this Arlo camera streams crisp 1080p video straight to your smartphone and even includes motion detection alerts and two-way communication to check in on pets. Whether mounted on a wall or tucked on a shelf, it's also a stealthy security spy. With an 8/month subscription, you'll also get extra features like cloud storage. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is a small upgrade with a game-changing payoff. An intuitive interface, customizable home screen, and access to a variety of free channels--what more could you ask for? No wonder it is our favorite Roku device and overall streaming device.

If you've ever battled crowds to get a coveted toy you know that early October is the perfect time for parents to start holiday shopping. Amazon knows this, which is why the company is holding a second Prime Day sale event--which ends tonight--featuring some great Prime Day toy deals. You can find all the best Prime Day deals here. But if your kids are like my kids, they're already working on their wish lists. If you say you haven't already started budgeting, you are either lying, financially irresponsible, or your children are much less demanding than mine are (I know, it's my fault).
