Best Buy is counting down to the holidays with a series of gifts, only it’s swapping the lords a-leaping and partridge-laden pear trees for one-off tech discounts.

Through Sunday, Dec. 18, the electronics store is hosting a 20 Days of Deals event comprised of a series of short sales on featured products across all departments. Offers go live around 1:01 a.m. ET every day and remain available for 24 hours or until they sell out — whichever comes first — with a limit of one per customer and no rainchecks.

These main Deals of the Day are joined by Bonus Deals of the Day, as well as quick 4-Hour Deals staggered throughout certain days at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., 5 p.m., and 9 p.m. ET. As if that weren’t enough, this is all happening alongside a 12 Days of Gaming sale at Best Buy that brings one-day discounts on select Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch gear through Dec. 10. (And you thought Cyber Weekend was chaotic.)

We’ll be keeping track of all the Deals of the Day and 12 Days of Gaming offers here for easy referencing, keeping a close eye out for any discounts that stay live beyond their scheduled windows. Below, you’ll find Best Buy’s picks for Wednesday, Dec. 7.
