The 10 Best Deals of December 11, 2017

Christmas is just two weeks away, which means your gift shopping days are starting to dwindle. We see a lot of great deals every day, but these were our 10 favorites from Monday.

Head over to our main post for more deals, and follow us on Twitter and Facebook to never miss a chance to save. You can also join our Kinja Deals Community Facebook group to connect with your fellow deal hunters.

#1: Logitech Accessories

As part of their 12 Days of Deals, Amazon just kicked off a one-day sale on a variety of Logitech PC peripherals to fit just about any budget.

My favorite deal of the bunch is the Logitech Performance Mouse MX for $40, an all-time low. This mouse was succeeded by the MX Master Mouse, but it still has just about every feature you could want in an ergonomic mouse.

The C9X22 webcam is another impressive piece of hardware for $50, as it can automatically remove the background behind you without the use of a green screen, making it great for Twitch streamers.

There are a bunch of keyboards in this sale, but the two most popular will likely be the HTPC-optimized K400 for $18 (complete with a built-in trackpad), and the mobile-friendly K480 for $20.

If you’re still listening to your computer through its built-in speakers, it’s absolutely worth spending $54 on a good 2.1 channel audio setup.

For the rest of the deals, be sure to head over to Amazon. Just remember that these prices are only available today, and the best stuff could sell out early.

#2: PLayStation Plus

We thought the days of $40 PlayStation Plus sales were behind us, but lo, here it is once again. If your membership is due to expire soon, or hell, even if it isn’t, you’ll want to take advantage of this.

#3: Stick-Anywhere Strip Lights

You can’t control it from your smartphone like a Philips Hue Lightstrip, but this 16.4', 300 LED light strand from Aukey can glow in several different colors, is capable of daisy chaining for longer stirps, and is even water resistant if you want to set it up on your patio. Oh, yeah, it’s also just $18 with promo code AUSALE07.

#4: MicroSD Cards

Whether you need a small card for a dash cam, or a ton of space for Nintendo Switch games and 4K GoPro footage, these Samsung microSD cards are cheaper than they’ve ever been, in all four of the capacities listed below.

#5: The Best Value In Knives

Update: Back in stock for $31, if you missed it last week.

Victorinox’s Fibrox 8” chef’s knife is one of your favorite chef’s knives period, and by far the best value in the industry. It’s also the knife I’ve used almost every day for almost five years. Amazon has it for $31 right now, which is an absolute steal for the quality you’re getting.

You can also get a four-knife Fibrox set for $104, if you want to upgrade your entire collection.

#6: Wiper Blades

If your wiper blades have seen better days, Amazon’s discounting a variety of Michelin Stealth and Bosch Insight blades right now.

Unlike a lot of previous wiper blade sales, there are no coupons to clip or in-cart discounts here; the prices listed are the prices you’ll pay. The deals vary a bit by wiper blade size, but you’ll be spending about $10-$12 per blade, which is about $4-$6 less than usual, in most cases.

#7: Our Readers’ Favorite Travel Pillow

The Cabeau Evolution was your favorite travel pillow (by a long shot), and you can save 20% on yours today in a repeat of their Black Friday sale.

Unlike cheaper travel pillows that you have to inflate with air, the Evolution is made of memory foam, and wraps all the way around your neck to provide support no matter what direction your head falls when you nod off. You won’t win any fashion awards while you’re using it, but you won’t care, because you’ll be asleep.

These pillows hardly ever go on sale, so if you have any holiday travel plans on the horizon, you won’t want to miss out on this one.

#8: Our Readers’ Favorite Travel Charger

The most versatile member of Anker’s insanely popular PowerCore battery pack family pulls double duty as a USB wall charger, and you can save $8 on the white model with promo code XMAS1621.

I’ve owned the Fusion since it launched earlier this year, and it’s an indispensable part of my bag. Now, rather than traveling with a wall charger, a battery pack, and a microUSB cable to recharge said battery, all I need is the Fusion and my Apple charging cables. You can read all of my impressions here, and then head over to Amazon to get yours for $22.

#9: Leatherman Skeletool

Leatherman’s widely-praised Skeletool Multitool doesn’t have nearly as many tools as some of its brethren, but the upshot is a smaller, lighter frame that you can carry anywhere (except, like, airports). Even if you don’t need one for yourself, this would be a great gift idea for $45, the best price we’ve seen in months, and $15 less than usual.

#10: LEGO Saturn V

Update 12/11 - It’s back in stock!

LEGO’s 1969 piece Saturn V Apollo kit is almost never in stock anywhere (seriously, go look at the markup on eBay), but Amazon has it for its $120 MSRP right now, which is honestly a great price for a kit that size, let alone such a coveted one.
