Special buys at Home Depot this holiday season aren’t just reserved for gift-giving. It’s also an opportunity to save money on plenty of items like security cameras, vacuums and power tools. Here are five items homeowners need to buy before Christmas.

Also here are a few more Home Depot items that may help lower your utility bill this winter.

Ring Starter Set

• Price: $79.99

Protect your home with the Ring rechargeable doorbell camera, which sends smart alerts when people or packages arrive. Once alerted, use the live view and two-way talk features to monitor visitors, delivery persons and potential problems. The camera’s head-to-toe video has 66% more viewing coverage than Ring’s second-generation video doorbell. In addition, the set’s indoor camera can be placed anywhere in the home with a plug and even has a privacy cover for the times when the camera is not needed. 

The Ring Starter Set with battery doorbell and indoor cam is a special buy for $79.99 at $60 off the original price.

Ring Spotlight Cam Plus

• Price: $109.99

The Ring Spotlight Cam Plus lights up dark areas around the house with motion-activated LED spotlights for added protection. Color night vision provides a clearer picture, and the two-way talk feature allows easy communication with guests or repair crews. Pair with Alexa to hear announcements when motion is detected. 

If needed, trigger the built-in security siren to deter intruders. Plus, the smart video search feature makes it simple to find key moments on the camera, whether for personal use or to share with the police.

Ring Spotlight Cam Plus with smart security video camera is a Home Depot special buy priced at $109.99 — a 35% savings.

Rigid Wet and Dry Shop Vac

• Price: $59.88

Choose the 16-gallon Rigid Wet and Dry Shop Vac for those messes that are too big for a mop or broom. It features a debris filter and a built-in drain on the bottom that’s easy to use without having to lift and empty the contents. For an added bonus, use the hose in the blower port to turn the vac into a blower to remove pesky leaves or other nuisances. 

This Home Depot special buy has a lifetime warranty and is offered for 50% off at $59.88.

Ryobi Tool Combo Kit

• Price: $199

The Ryobi One+ six-tool combo kit is perfect for all those do-it-yourself repairs needed around the home. This combo kit includes two batteries, a charger, reciprocating saw, 5.5-inch circular saw, half-inch drill and driver, quarter-inch impact driver, a multi-tool, an LED light and a bag. Plus, Ryobi has over 300 products that all work on the same battery platform. 

With a manufacturer’s warranty of three years, this special buy is only $199, which is 33% off the original price of $299.

Shark Stratos Upright Vacuum 

• Price: $299.99

This Shark vacuum is the real deal with an anti-allergen complete seal, Hepa filter and  easy-empty dust cup to keep the allergies at bay. The hair pro helps pick up the pet hair with a two-brush system and keeps hair from wrapping around the self-cleaning brushroll. Last but not least, the odor neutralizer technology helps keep the Shark from leaving bad odors inside the vacuum, which could transfer to the home.

The Shark Stratos AZ3000 Upright Vacuum with duo clean power fins, hair pro and odor neutralizer technology is a Home Depot special buy at $299.99 — $200 off the original price.
