What are the best Black Friday deals for stocking stuffers this year?

I was busy ordering the (essentially free) Motorola phones for stocking
stuffers, choosing the 128GB over the 64GB free Moto phones, for utility.

The hardest part, as the article says, was choosing which one for free:
o One has an enormous battery but only 64GB of storage
o The other has 128GB of storage & a stylus but just a big battery

o Here's how you can get the Moto G Stylus and G Power for free this Black Friday

"That's right, Moto G Power and G Stylus buyers are eligible for $149 and $199
free credit respectively, whether they're looking to join the mobile virtual
network operator as new customers or add a new line of service to an existing
account. There are no device trade-ins or number port-ins required, mind you,
and the conditions you do need to meet to qualify for the full $250 and $300
savings seem about as straightforward as you can imagine.

Namely, you'll have to activate your preferred 2020 Moto G-series model on the
same Google Fi account actually used to purchase the phone, and do so on a
"full service plan" within 30 days of receiving your shipment confirmation
email. You'll then have to remain active for a measly 30 consecutive days
and accept that the free credit can only be used for monthly service costs
like data, calls, texts, and device protection rather than the costs of the
phones themselves.

At the end of the day, it might be harder to decide which of these two handsets
to buy than whether or not to take advantage of this sweet Black Friday deal,
as the Moto G Power has a gargantuan 5,000mAh battery going for it, while the
G Stylus comes with a, well, built-in stylus in addition to some extra storage
space and better cameras."

Note: Technically, you won't pay anything for "service" (at $20/month) which
is how they get away with calling it "free". You can cancel anytime
after 30 days though, and you still get the hardware discount.

Note: These are all unlocked phones, out of the box.
