Editor’s Note: We’re a little shorthanded this week, so we won’t be doing our regular app or apparel deals posts. If we see something really good though, we’ll include it here.

Top Deals

Amazon’s been on a roll with the apparel Gold Box deals lately, and the trend continues with two new bundles of discounts today. The Seiko watches are designed for men, but the Merrell Shoes promotion includes both men’s and women’s designs.

If you want a pair of wireless headphones without sacrificing sound quality, this deal’s for you. Jabra’s Revo Bluetooth headphones have great reviews around the web, and Adam Clark Estes at Gizmodo said they sounded about the same as the excellent Jabra Move Wireless, but with better build quality and ear cup controls.

Amazon has the Revos listed for $159-$190 right now, but if you hurry, you can score a pair from Woot for just $110. [Jabra Revo Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, $110]

Earlier this week, we shared a $50 deal on a barebones Brother laser printer, but if you were holding out for a model with wireless networking and/or a flatbed scanner, you’ve got two great options to choose from today.

If you aren’t familiar, these printers only print in black and white, but they can spit out nearly 30 pages per minute, feature automatic duplex, and their toner cartridges can last for years. Basically, they’re the only cheap printers on the market that are actually any good.

August just came out with a new version of its smart lock that works with Siri, but if you don’t care about such things, the standard model also dropped to $199 on Amazon, an all-time low. Be sure to check out Gizmodo’s review to learn more about it. [August Smart Lock, $199. Multiple colors available.]

If you like to cook with garlic, but dread mincing it by hand, this cheap garlic press will save you so much time. I got one a few months ago, and wish I’d done it sooner. [Propresser Garlic Press Stainless Steel, $11 with code V9YX5JDT]

Say your wireless router can’t push a strong signal to every corner of your house, or maybe you own some kind of old set top box that needs an ethernet connection, but doesn’t live near the router. A simple powerline adapter is one of your best options for extending a home network, and you can get a great one for just $40 today. [TP-Link AV500 Powerline Starter Kit, $40 after clipping the $5 coupon]

Watching the debate in VR might have sucked, but don’t let that scare you away from the concept. Samsung’s Gear VR Innovator’s Edition is 50% off right now, and is a no-brainer if you own a Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge, and want to experience the next frontier in consumer electronics. [Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, $100]

Drones (or quadcopters, for you pedantic commenters) are ridiculously fun, but you probably want to get some practice flying them before you spend $1,000 on a Phantom.

This tiny indoor Syma X11C sets itself apart from other micro drones with a 2MP onboard camera, and while its operating range probably doesn’t extend very far past your living room, but it’s still solid as a learning tool, or just as a toy in its own right. [Syma X11C 4 Channel 2.4Ghz RC Quadcopter with 2MP HD Camera, $35 with code 3OKYPHJV]

Note: One reviewer noted that the included microSD card is too slow to be any use for video recording, so you’ll want to pop in your own.

Rather than filling your kitchen cabinets with multiple graters, just buy one of these clever six-sided box graters. Each side offers a different sized grating holes to handle every vegetable or cheese you throw at it (or rub against it, as the case may be), and reviews indicate that each one will get the job done as advertised. [1Easylife 6-side Stainless Steel Cheese Box Grater, $10 with code QHY9ILT6]

If The Martian got you excited about heroic space rescues, the 20th Anniversary Blu-ray of Apollo 13 is down to $10 today, complete with a bunch of special features, and a digital copy. Houston, we have a deal. [Apollo 13 - 20th Anniversary Edition, $10]

Raise your hand if you knew that Amazon sold their own custom-branded resistance bands. No? 10 standing biceps curls for you. These are cheaper than ever before, and a staple for any home gym. [AmazonBasics Resistance Band Set, $19]

Even if you don’t like Call of Duty, hell, even if you don’t own a PS4, you might want to buy Call of Duty: Ghosts Prestige Edition for $40 on PS4, or $30 on PS3. In addition to the game, you get an actual 1080p action cam and a survival paracord bracelet. That’s easily worth more than $40, game excluded. [Call of Duty: Ghosts Prestige Edition (PS4), $40. $10 less on PS3]

If Fallout 4’s silly new live action trailer has you excited, you can save $7 on your PS4 or Xbox One preorder from Amazon, if you’re a Prime member. Less than a month away!

  • Preorder Fallout 4 ($53) [PS4/Xbox One] | Amazon | Prime members only. Discount shown at checkout.

If you have kids, chances are that they live and breathe Minecraft, and with today’s Amazon Gold Box deal, you can turn that obsession into something more productive.

Today only, you can save up to 40% on Youth Digital software that teaches the basics of Java programming through the creation of Minecraft mods and servers. Both software packs include 30+ hours of interactive lessons, and boast great Amazon reviews. And yeah, they’re still expensive at $150 each, but that’s about $50-$100 less than usual, and the lowest price Amazon’s ever offered. Think of it as an investment! [40% Off Learn Java with Minecraft Software by Youth Digital]

If your PC is feeling sluggish, this 500GB SSD has plenty of space for files, games, and apps, and only costs $150 today, matching an all-time low. [Crucial BX100 500GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive, $150]

Want Bluetooth audio and handsfree calling in your older car? This Wirecutter-recommended dongle takes the Bluetooth signal from your phone, and retransmits it to the FM radio station of your choice. The sound quality will take a hit, but if you don’t have an AUX jack, this is probably your best option short of buying an entirely new stereo. [Mpow Streambot Y Wireless Bluetooth FM Transmitter, $28 with code ABYREJAV]

If you’re in the market for a reliable portable hard drive, the ever-popular WD My Passport Ultra 2TB is down to $70 right now, which is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on a 2TB external. [Western Digital My Passport Ultra Black 2 TB, $70]

Apple’s AirPort Extreme isn’t the most powerful 802.11ac router on the market, and it’s certainly not the most configurable. But it looks fanstastic, and it’s easy to set up, which counts for something.

Apple charges $199 for it, which isn’t an outrageous price for an 802.11ac router, but you can get an open box model on eBay right now for $130. If your home network is still mired in 802.11n, and you like Apple devices, this is a great chance to upgrade. [Apple AirPort Extreme, $130]

If your wiper blades are starting to streak, Amazon’s offering a pair of Rain-X Latitudes for just $23 today. All you have to do is pick the two you want, add them to your cart, and you’ll see the discount at checkout. You can even mix and match sizes, so you’re almost certain to find a combination that works for your car. [Two Rain-X Latitude Wiper Blades, $23]

Note: The discount will only work on blades shipped and sold by Amazon directly. No third party sellers.
