DNA kits are classic holiday gifts — and they're almost always on sale around Black Friday. We've spotted some solid discounts on 23andMe tests recently, but Ancestry has also entered the chat.

Named "best for connecting with relatives" in our best DNA kit guide, AncestryDNA kits give you the top resources for building out your family tree. Whether you're looking for a long-lost relative or just want to connect with distant cousins, Ancestry's huge genealogical pool will help you out. It's also great for tracking immigration patterns, so you can trace where in the world your family came from (and when).

The Ancestry + Traits kit takes your DNA information a bit further, exploring how DNA and ancestry might have affected your appearance, your predisposition to lactose intolerance, your expected endurance fitness, and more.

Scoop up an AncestryDNA kit to give as a gift this holiday season — they're great for folks who want to learn more about their culture, connect with their ancestors, and learn about themselves along the way.
