Anker’s original SoundBuds are your favorite affordable wireless earbuds, but the new SoundBuds Tag just got their first discount ever.

The Tags basically appear to be a slightly tweaked version of the SoundBuds Sport, boasting a redesigned remote and better ear tips. Like the Sports though, they’ll still turn off when you connect the two magnetic earpieces together, and turn back on once you pull them apart. Smart.

Ebay’s running another sitewide flash sale, for six hours only this afternoon. Promo code PSHOPSAVE15 will take $15 off almost any $75 eBay order when you pay with PayPal. The only exclusions are gift cards, real estate, and actual money (dammit), but everything else is fair game.

Range extenders aren’t a cure-all for your home network, but if you have one or two spots in the house that just doesn’t get good reception, they’re an inexpensive way to fill in the gaps. This model from TP-Link has great reviews, and at $35 (after clipping the $5 coupon), it’s never been cheaper.

The market is littered with beautiful, minimal laptop stands from accessory design shops, but no matter how much you love yours, there’s no guarantee that your next laptop will fit properly. That’s where the iQunix Edin comes in.

At first blush, the Eden looks like any other aluminum, Apple-centric laptop stand. But its secret is a knob that adjusts the dock’s width, meaning no matter what laptop you happen to own at the moment (as long as it’s between 0.4 and 1.18 inches thick), it’ll fit like a glove. For a limited time, you can save $6 on yours with promo code iqunixed.

We post our fair share of deals on amplified HDTV antennas, but today you can get one for $17 in three different colors, including—wait for it—transparent. That means it won’t stick out like a sore thumb on your wall, and won’t block your view if you attach it to a window.

Just be sure to check out Lifehacker’s guide first to see if this kind of antenna is likely to work where you live.

Until such a time that USB-C is truly ubiquitous, you’ll want to keep a collection of adapters handy to manage the transition. Today on Amazon, get two USB-C to USB 3.0 adapters, or three USB-C to microUSB adapters for just $7.

Compared to the reader-favorite JBL Charge 3, the Charge 2+ has less battery life, and is merely splashproof rather than truly waterproof. That being said, it still sounds great, and can connect to multiple sources and pair with other JBL speakers for multi-room audio, so it’s a great deal at $65, even refurbished.

Whether you enjoy camping, are worried about power outages, or just like the idea of being off the grid, Anker’s 21W PowerPort Solar can keep your USB-powered gadgets juiced up with the power of the sun. Save 20% today with promo code BEST2421.

Apple may have popularized truly wireless headphones, but for more affordable options are finally starting to come to market.

SoundPEATS popular true wireless earbuds are back on sale for $35 today, matching the best price we’ve seen. These look exactly like the Axgio Dash headphones I wrote about here, which enjoy a solid six hours battery life, but include no charging case, meaning you’ll have to plug them in to a microUSB cable once the batteries die.

If you don’t mind neckbands, here’s another pair for $16.

You can never have enough Lightning cables, so grab an extra one for $5, or two for $10 today from Mpow. Just be sure to note the promo codes.

Note: For the two-pack, choose the second option below, and manually add two of them to your cart.

It’s aluminum, it’s adjustable, it holds any device, and it’s $8. What’s not to love about this desktop phone stand?

Top Home Deals

Update: Now up to $20, but you can opt for this model instead for $13. You’ll just need to supply your own wall plate.

These days, you probably charge as many things over USB as you do over standard AC outlets, so it only makes sense to add some semi-permanent USB ports to your home.

Today on Amazon, you can get highly-rated duplex receptacles with a pair of USB ports for $15 each, one of the best prices we’ve seen. These have proven very popular with readers in the past, even at higher prices, so be sure to secure a few before Amazon sells out.

Odds are, you’ve got a $20 Crock-Pot sitting in a cabinet, gathering dust. But with just a few added features, the humble slow cooker can be one of your favorite kitchen tools.

This programmable 6 qt. Crock-Pot is marked down to $40 after clipping the $10 coupon on the page. Unlike most entry level slow cookers, you can set this model to cook for a certain amount of time, after which it’ll switch to warm mode; perfect for preparing six hour recipes during nine hour workdays. It also includes a lockable lid for easy transport.

OxyLED’s MD10 is the Swiss Army Knife of flashlights, even more so than actual Swiss Army Knives with flashlights.

In addition to its 200 lumen Cree LED bulb. the MD10 includes both solar and USB recharging, IP65 water resistance, a magnet to stick it to your car, a seatbelt cutter, a window hammer, and even a freakin’ compass. That’s a lot of gear for $12.

Car jump starting batteries are nothing new, but this RAVPower model is more powerful than most at 550A, and it’s a fantastic deal at $53. This has enough juice to start a 5L engine, but is still small enough to fit in your glove box. And of course, it’ll also charge your phone in a pinch.

If you’re curious about Amazon Dash buttons, today’s a great day to try them. Right now, pick up any two Dash buttons of your choice, and get a third one free. Plus, you’ll still get a $5 Amazon credit the first time you use it, meaning they’re literally paying you to buy household essentials.

Just add three Dash buttons to your cart and you’ll see the discount applied automatically at checkout. Just an FYI: It is limited to Prime Members only and only one free button.

Amazon’s looking out for the green thumbs today with a great deal on their top selling utility cart.

Gorilla Carts’ GOR6PS boasts fantastic user reviews, can haul a whopping 1200 pounds, and some even include a quick-release dumping mechanism for easy dirt pouring. Today’s deal is an all-time low, so lock in your order before it gets buried.

There may be no better way to spend a Sunday than killing a bottle of wine while leisurely making a big-ass paella to share, but the experience isn’t complete without an honest-to-goodness paella pan. Luckily, Lodge makes a heavy duty carbon steel model that’ll work on pretty much any cooking surface, and with a few exceptions, $47 is about as cheap as it gets.

If you’re sick of stubbing your toes on your front porch and struggling to find your key hole, these solar-powered motion-sensing spot lights can illuminate your outdoor space with no wiring required. Get four of them for $30 today with promo code API29OGS.

A generator probably isn’t high on the list of things you need to buy right this instant, but they tend to become very necessary at inconvenient and/or stressful times, so when you can get Amazon’s #1 seller for an all-time low $130, you should take advantage just for the peace of mind.

While it’s certainly not as fast as the coin-operated air compressor at a gas station, this glove box-friendly compressor can save your bacon if you have to change a tire, or just can’t be bothered to find a bunch of quarters. One reviewer describes it as slightly larger than two decks of playing cards, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding somewhere to hide it.

The great thing about Philips Hue is that your fancy lighting profiles aren’t limited to standard bulbs; the Hue Lighstrip lets you to stick a rope of color-changing, Wi-Fi connected lights anywhere in your house.

The Lightstrip hardly ever goes on sale, but while supplies last, Prime members can get it for $66, or 20% off, with the discount shown at checkout. This kit includes a 6' strip, but you can add on 40" extensions for a (comparatively) affordable $25, if that’s not quite long enough.

Just note that you’ll need a Hue Bridge to control this thing; it’s not a starter kit on its own.

I’m calling it: It’s summer already. So pick up a pair of hammered copper mule mugs, and go enjoy a refreshingly cold drink.

Takeya’s cold brew coffee maker, one of the most popular items we’ve ever posted, is back down under $20, just in time for the warmer weather.

This non-coffee drinker bought one of these last year, and I’m absolutely in love with it. All you have to do is fill the basket with ground coffee, fill the container with water, and let it steep overnight in the fridge. The resulting coffee concentrate needs to be watered down, so one batch should last you several days.

Our readers have bought tens of thousands of OxyLED’s motion-sensing night lights, and now they’re offering you the first ever deal on the supersized T-02 Plus.

The Plus features 36 individual LED bulbs, a rechargeable battery, and unlike a several similar models, the ability to turn on manually, rather than relying on the motion and ambient light sensors. It’s big and bright enough to light up an entire closet or a large cabinet, but personally, I’d stick mine under my kitchen cabinets to light up the counter below.

We love Pyrex around these parts, and their 3-pack of measuring cups is down to $11 today. In addition to looking great, the cups are microwave and (semi) dishwasher safe, and since they’re made of glass, they won’t absorb any odors, flavors, or stains. Plus, they just feel heavy and professional, and would make a nice gift.

Top Lifestyle Deals

Spring is ripe with opportunity to get outside, but getting the right gear for the weather is always the hard part. Amazon is right there with you, marking down a ton of activewear apparel, from brands like PUMA, Adidas, Champion, Reebok, and more, so you can get outside, even if it’s just for a nice, brisk walk to the deli for a sandwich.

I’m firmly in the camp of never having too many bags, especially when they all serve different purposes (Yes, even a wicker bag shaped like a lemon has a purpose). If you’ve been putting off replacing the one you’ve been using for far too long, Amazon’s handbag Gold Box has more than a handful of options with brands like Cole Haan, Fossil, Betsey Johnson, and Rebecca Minkoff.

The Philips Norelco OneBlade was the most exciting new shaving product of 2016, and Amazon’s offering the first discount we’ve seen on it since Black Friday.

Most of the people on our team (except Jillian) are converts to this thing, and Shane shared his thoughts about it on Lifehacker Gear:

I’m pretty blown away by the Philips OneBlade. I was expecting a deconstructed electric razor or a souped up Gillette Power-style situation, but the OneBlade is more like the next evolution of beard trimmers.

The OneBlade can be used to get a close shave, edge, or trim down to your preferred length. It’s also washable and rechargeable, and the replaceable blades that last an estimated four months are already available on Subscribe and Save.

The OneBlade can be used in the shower or over the sink, with or without shaving cream or oil. To be clear, this is not going to give you a straight razor-close shave, but it’s going to get you 99.5% of the way there in no time and with no irritation.

The OneBlade has sold for $35 almost exclusively since launch, so $4 qualifies as a solid discount. I paid full price a couple months ago, and have zero regrets.

Saliva-based ancestry DNA tests probably won’t tell you anything profound, but they can be fun, and make great gifts, so you may want to pick up 23andMe’s for $20 off today.

Spring has officially sprung, so it’s as good a time as any to stock up on new workout clothes with PUMA’s free shipping when you use the code PVTSD on any order. That free shipping also applies to their massive Private Sale, where you can get up to 75% off a ton of styles.

We’ve shared a lot of Dorco shaving deals recently, but if you want to try a new handle, or just need some more cartridges, they’re taking $10 off any $20 order right now with promo code MyThanks. Unlike most Dorco deals, this isn’t limited to a specific product, so you can shave prices on whatever it is you need.

You don’t need a gym membership to have access to a pull-up bar: You just need a doorway. If you don’t have one of those, I can’t help you. This pull-up bar has a ton of (mostly) good Amazon reviews, and features 12 non-slip pads so you can customize your grip.

Top Media Deals

If you miss out on the complete That 70s Show Blu-ray for $40, it’s okay, I’ll have another deal for you. My foot, up your ass, for free!

I urge you not to judge Ghost in the Shell based on the Scarlett Johannson film. Instead, add the 25th Anniversary Blu-ray of the original to your collection for just $8, within $1 of an all-time low.

Legend of Korra was one of the best shows on TV during its time, let alone one of the best anime series, and you can own all four seasons on Blu-ray for just $30, courtesy of Amazon.

Top Gaming Deals

Prime members can preorder and save 20% on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for their Nintendo Switch, which isn’t unusual (that benefit applies to all preorder and new release games), but today’s the last day for most people to order if they want it on release day, so it warrants a reminder. As always, you won’t see the discount until checkout.

If you’re planning on hosting a Mario Kart party, you may want some extra Joy-Con or Pro Controllers to go with it.

The same 20% discount applies to Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey, but Splatoon won’t be released until July, and there’s still no release date for Mario.

If you didn’t get everything you wanted in Monday’s massive board game sale, a few titles are still marked down to low or near-low prices. Zombicide is the most popular of the bunch, but you can never go wrong with a Ticket to Ride game or Agricola.

Mass Effect Andromeda isn’t perfect, but it’s huge and ambitious, and in my opinion at least, pretty damn fun. So if you were waiting on a discount to pick up your copy, GameStop’s marked it down to $40 on PS4 and Xbox One today, the best price we’ve seen to date. Use promo code SAVER at checkout to get free shipping as well.

Today’s sitewide eBay coupon doesn’t work on gift cards, but fun fact: PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold memberships don’t count as gift cards. The coupon is good for $15 off any $75 order, so in both cases, you’ll have to add two years to your cart to get the deal. That should get you 24 months of PlayStation Plus for $91, or Xbox Live Gold for about $85.

Just remember, you’ll need to use PayPal to have the option to enter the promo code (PSHOPSAVE15), and this coupon is only valid until 9 PM ET.

GTA V is nearly four years old (ugh), but it’s still getting updates and insane, over-the-top mods that keep it feeling fresh. If you somehow don’t own a copy, you can download it from Amazon for $36 on PC.

While you’re at it, you might as well grab a copy of GTA Vice City for $3.

If you’re lucky enough to own a Nintendo Switch, we’ve found deals on a couple of accessories to keep it safe and pristine, at least until you throw it into a wall after getting blue shelled at the finish line in Mario Kart.

Last week, we posted a $2 deal (still available) on a fidget spinner that was shipping from China sometime in the next month. But if you just can’t wait to get your hands on one of these things, here’s a $5 model that’s eligible for Prime shipping.
