The holidays are just right around the corner and the annual 12 Days of Deals offered by Microsoft is now at hand.  It provides discounts for shoppers who plan to purchase their gifts this season. 

The promo began on Dec. 8 and will continue until Dec. 19. It aims to surprise consumers with jaw-dropping deals every day, and each item is announced the day before the deal is put up. 

But for this year, the list of items included in the promo was leaked online. The first four items on the list was already confirmed by Microsoft, but the company chose not to comment on the validity of the remaining devices that were mentioned in the leaked information. 

The discount period began Monday when Microsoft dropped the price of Toshiba tablets. On Dec. 8, the Toshiba Tablet Encore Mini with free 16 GB MicroSD card was sold for only $79. 

It was then followed by an Unlocked Blu Win HD phone on Tuesday, which was sold for just $129. Wednesday's deal was for the gamers, with $50 taken off from the original price of the Xbox One along with a free game that has a $60 value. For Thursday, Dec. 11, the ASUS T100 10.1-inch Transformer Book can be purchased for only $249.
