By Noah McGraw Published November 24, 2023

DNA tests are awesome holiday gifts for your family. Together you can all build your family tree and discover your genetic makeup.

There are some nice Black Friday deals going on today that will save you a significant amount of money on single tests or bundles. Check out our favorite below, then more more deals worth checking out under that.

The best DNA testing kit Black Friday deal

AncestryDNA Genetic Test Kit — $59, was $99

An Ancestry shipment. — Ancestry

The single person AncestryDNA Genetic Test Kit is our pick for the best Black Friday deal already available. The kit normally costs $99, but right now it’s down to just $59. That’s a nice discount of $30 on one of the best DNA tests available. We’re not sure how long this deal will last, so you should grab it soon.

Testing your DNA with Ancestry gives you two major pieces of information: your genetic makeup and your family tree. On the genetic makeup side, you get to learn what percentage of your DNA comes from various ethnic groups. The test is detailed enough to tell your about 2,600 different regions you may have a family history in. Ancestry splits this up into a pie chart report that is easy to explore and understand.

The other benefit is your family tree. If you have relatives who have used AncestryDNA, you can see where they might fit on your family tree. You can request to connect with them, and if they accept you’ll get access to some of their family tree too. It’s a fun way to connect with your family. It may even reveal a new relative you didn’t know you had.

All of this is accomplished with a simple cheek swab that you send back to Ancestry in the mail. It’s simple, fast, and cheap now thanks to this Black Friday deal.

The 11-inch iPad Pro M2 sold out, but you can get the iPad Pro M4 for the same price

iPad Pro with M2 inside.

If you've been looking forward to the arrival of this year's Cyber Monday Apple deals. it's time to get excited. There are some excellent deals. Best Buy was offering the Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M2 for only $1,099, following a $1,000 discount that nearly halved the tablet's original price of $2,099. But since there's always high demand for savings on Apple's iPad from Cyber Monday deals, that offer is sold out. Don't panic, though. Best Buy also has the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with M4 Chip for the same price -- $1,099. It's only a savings of $100, down from $1,199, but that's still a fantastic price. We highly recommend shopping this deal before it sells out too.

Why you should buy the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M4 instead
The Apple iPad Pro M2 wasn't the latest version of the powerful tablet -- that distinction goes to the Apple iPad Pro M4, yet both have rightfully taken their place in our list of the best iPads as the best premium option. Since the first deal on the M2 model sold out, you're getting the best of the best right now for the same price, anyway.

A 40-inch TCL TV for $99? Cyber Monday deal is live now

2024 TCL S3 HDTV.

It's time. The crazy Cyber Monday TV deals have dropped and we found one that's wild. A real bargain on the 40-inch TCL TV that's over 50% off right now. With a $130 discount, that drops its price from $230 all the way down to $100. You probably didn't think it was possible to get a decent-sized TV for that price, but Cyber Monday is proving us all wrong. You're going to have to hurry with your purchase, though, because we've got a feeling that this deal will be gone really soon.

Why you should buy this 40-inch TCL TV
TCL is one of the best TV brands because of the value that its products provide, and that's on full display with a 40-inch TCL S3 Full HD TV. It's not going to challenge the performance and features of the best TVs in the market, but one important thing that it shares with them is the fact that it's a smart TV. Through Amazon's Fire TV platform, you'll be able to access all of the popular streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and you'll also be able to initiate voice commands through either Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant.
