Top Deals

Nest just unveiled their third generation smart thermostat, which means you can score a rare $50 discount on the older model. The only real advantage of the new one seems to be a larger screen, and I mean...it’s a thermostat. You’re not watching movies on the thing. [Nest Learning Thermostat, 2nd Generation, $199]

Whether you put in 20 miles every night, or just need some motivation to take your bike out of your garage every now and then, Amazon’s offering some great deals on Allen Sports bike accessories, today only.

The highlight here is a trio of bike racks to fit just about any car, all marked down to all-time low prices. We’ve posted these in the past, and heard great things from readers. You’ll also find a nice selection of bike lights with varying brightness levels, including one that can recharge over USB.

Remember, as with all Gold Box deals, these prices are only available today (or until sold out), so get moving. [Allen Sports Bike Sale]

For a limited time, Amazon is taking an extra 15% off a huge selection of athletic and outdoor shoes for Prime members. Inside, you’ll find running shoes, cleats, work boots, and more, so be sure to check out the full selection. [Prime Members Get an Extra 15% Off Athletic & Outdoor Shoes at Amazon]

Note: The 15% discount is shown at checkout, and is in addition to any discounts listed on the product page.

This camping stove can fit in the palm of your hand (but omfg not while you’re using it!), and yet it boils two pints of water in just five minutes. Plus, a near-perfect 4.7 star review average inspires confidence, even at this price. [Dpower Foldable Camping Stove with Piezo Ignition, $13 code 445MICL3]

$70 is about as cheap as we ever see 2TB portable hard drives, so if your files are overflowing, be sure to pick this up before it’s gone. [WD Elements 2TB Portable Hard Drive, $70]

If you have a Regal theater in your neighborhood, here’s a chance to buy a $50 gift card for $40. That’s like a free large popcorn (maybe)! [$50 Regal Gift Card, $40]

Want to practice digital illustration without blowing a hole in your wallet? Monoprice’s basic graphics tablet is marked down to $42, and has surprisingly decent specs for the price. [Monoprice Graphics Tablet, $42]

  • 10” x 6.25” drawing area
  • 8 programmable hot keys on the left side of the tablet and 16 preprogrammed function keys around the edges of the drawing area
  • 4000 LPI resolution
  • 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity

This beefy 20,000mAh USB battery pack has enough juice to keep your phone running for days, making it perfect for long plane rides, camping trips, or unexpected power outages. [Aukey 20000mAh Portable Power Bank, $23 with code DK3AAHBV]

1Password is the best looking password manager on the market, and my one of the few apps I couldn’t live without. The only real downside is its upfront $50 cost for desktop apps (the mobile versions are freemium). So if you’ve been waiting on a good deal to secure your digital life, the Mac version is marked down to $35 today, which is one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. Trust me, it’s worth every penny. [1Password for Mac, $35]

If you want to mount your smartphone in your car, a magnetic vent mount is the most unobtrusive option you’ll find. And for $5, you might as well try one out and see how you like it. [Magnetic Smartphone Vent Mount, $5 with code CD5DO6QW]

Want to try out Amazon’s crazy Dash Buttons without any financial risk? For a limited time, Amazon will take $4.99 off the first order you place with a Dash, which effectively means you got the button itself for free. [$4.99 off Your First Amazon Dash Button order]

Once you’ve recouped your money, feel free to start tinkering.

It doesn’t have the name recognition of a Dremel, but this Porter-Cable oscillating multi-tool has fantastic user reviews, and is marked down to an all-time low $75 today. Just note that it’s a Gold Box deal, meaning this price is only available today, or until sold out. [PORTER-CABLE 3-Amp Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with 52 Accessories, $75]

Anova’s newest sous-vide circulator has Wi-Fi built right in, allowing you to control your water temperature from anywhere in the world with a smartphone. Unfortunately, it won’t ship until October, but you can save $50 by preordering with promo code WiFi [Preorder Anova Precision Cooker WiFi, $150 with code Wi-Fi]

If you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, Lifehacker has a great explainer.

A lot of you have preordered Super Mario Maker already, but if you were waiting to see the reviews first, they just came in, and they’re fantastic.

As has been the case for awhile, Prime members can save $10 by preordering. Just remember that your discount is not shown until checkout. [Preorder Super Mario Maker, $50 for Prime Members]

AWOL on the Appalachian Trail is a must-read for anyone who loves the outdoors, and Amazon will sell you a Kindle edition for just $2, today only. 4.5 stars on nearly 1200 reviews. [AWOL on the Appalachian Trail, $2]

In 2003, software engineer David Miller left his job, family, and friends to fulfill a dream and hike the Appalachian Trail. AWOL on the Appalachian Trail is Miller’s account of this thru-hike along the entire 2,172 miles from Georgia to Maine. On page after page, readers are treated to rich descriptions of the valleys and mountains, the isolation and reverie, the inspiration that fueled his quest, and the life-changing moments that can only be experienced when dreams are pursued. While this book abounds with introspection and perseverance, it also provides useful passages about safety and proper gear, with a view into a professional hiker’s preparations and tenacity. This is not merely a travel guide, but a beautifully written and highly personal view into one man’s adventure and what it means to make a lifelong vision come true.

Let’s clear up the obvious confusion with this deal before we start: It’s a 2-pack of 2-packs! So you’ll be getting four lights total. Okay, so...

Today on Amazon, you can get two 2-packs of OxyLED outdoor stair lights for just $16, matching an all-time low. You just mount these outside your house, let them recharge during the day via built-in solar panels, and they’ll illuminate your patio or stoop all night. You might not need four for yourself, but the extra 2-pack would make for a nice evergreen gift. [2x 2-Packs Outdoor Stainless Steel LED Solar Step Light, $16. Add two to cart and use code HLGL8XLH]
