Gamers are always on the lookout for a speedy monitor to support their fast-paced sessions. ViewSonic's 27-inch curved gaming monitor features a refresh rate of 165Hz. The AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology ensures neither lag nor motion blur to hinder your performance, especially in first-person shooter games. Expect to take down enemies as soon as you spot them, with its one-millisecond response time. The slight curvature of the screen hugs the peripheral vision and drives the gamer deeper into the action. It has two integrated speakers, HDMI ports and a DisplayPort. The only drawback is that you're not getting 4K resolution, but that's to be expected with the high refresh rate. Gamers with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card leave five-star reviews.

You can even set it up to run at a later time using the 24-hour timer delay, so that your chores are done by the time you get home. And, don’t worry – a safety child lock function will keep the unit closed off from curious hands while it’s operating.

Effortlessly combining noise cancellation technology with high-fidelity audio, Bose’s QuietComfort wireless headphones have garnered over 24,000 4.5-star reviews for good reason.

The headphones also feature Quiet and Aware modes that let you toggle between full noise cancellation and full awareness of your surroundings. Overall, it’s an excellent option for daily use. Do note, however, that it doesn’t have the higher-quality Bluetooth codecs of the QuietComfort Ultra headphones.

8. Best Hair Care Deal: GHD Glide Hot Brush
Pros
- Straightens hair using thermal ceramic plate
- Easy to use - works like a normal hair brush
- Heats up to 185 degrees Celsius
- Auto shut down after 60 minutes
- Tames frizz and works well with curls
Cons
- Can be heavy
We thoroughly enjoyed hair dryer brushes last year; now, the beauty community is all about quiet thermal brushes that work in silence, just like a straightener or curler. The GHD Glide hot brush is a good example – it uses ceramic and ionic technology to transform the hair in quick strokes, the same as passing a paddle brush through the hair. It heats up to 185 degrees Celsius and shuts down automatically after 60 minutes of non-use. Those with thick, curly and frizzy hair were pleasantly surprised at the time it took for them to straighten their hair, some wrapping up within 10 minutes. They love that they don’t have to constantly clamp a flat iron and can just brush the hair per usual, making it a convenient styling tool for mums.
Bonus: Buy with 0% instalments and pay Dh43.34 for 12 months with select banks.
Warranty: The manufacturer offers a two-year warranty. Amazon offers one-year extended warranty for Dh35 and two years for Dh49.

- Durable resin construction
- Sets up to five alarms
- Shock-resistant and water-resistant in up to 200 metres
Cons
- Crowded dial
Casio's popular G-Shock line is a classic timepiece that complements any casual or sports wear. It features a light-up dial that displays the day, month and one of 31 time zones across the world, in a digital and analogue fusion. Like all G-Shock models, the resin construction lends the watch incredible shock resistance, and it's also water-resistant in up to 200 metres. You can set five daily alarms, so that you get to wake up screen-free. Buyers like how slim it is, compared to older G-Shock watches and say that it wears well with every outfit.
Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh18 and two years for Dh25.
10. Best Perfume Deal (Women): Hugo Boss The Scent Eau de Parfum
A floral-fruity fragrance with gourmand notes, Hugo Boss’s The Scent for women has a sophisticated sweetness that you won’t forget easily. Opening with the velvety shades of peach, combined with freesia blossoms, The Scent settles into a heart of osmanthus, a flowering plant that is well known for its apricot notes. Its dry down comprises roasted cocoa, giving the fragrance a sweet, dark twist. Perfect for all-day wear, it’s a light, cheerful fragrance that reviewers say is long-lasting. If you're interested in light, intimate scents that linger on the skin, browse these skin-scent perfumes.
11. Best Perfume Deal (Men): Versace Eros Eau De Toilette For Men
You can’t go wrong with a classic gift this Eid. Versace's Eros is a woody yet fresh scent that captures green apple and Italian lemon mixed with mint oil. Coming down from the top fresh notes, there's warmth at the end brought about by tonka mixed with Venezuelan ambroxan and geranium flowers, making the scent a blend of modern and classic - just like some loved ones you might know. Buyers say that the perfume is long-lasting; so much so that the fragrance lingers on clothes even after a wash.
