This HooToo gadget is actually four devices in one:

  • Travel Router: Turn any ethernet jack you find into a Wi-Fi hotspot, which can still come in handy at certain hotels and conventions.
  • 6,000mAh USB Battery Pack: Keep your phone and tablet charged during a long day away from any power outlets.
  • File Hub: Transfer files and wirelessly stream content from an USB hard drive or flash drive to all of your devices. Imagine loading a cheap flash drive up with movies for a long trip, instead of, say, buying an expensive iPad with more local storage.
  • Dual USB Wall Charger: Self-explanatory

All of those are ideal use cases for travelers, and since it’s an all-in-one solution, it’ll save space in your bag. [HooToo Wireless Hard Drive Companion, $33 with code BGITOUFO]

The GoPro Hero4 Silver might actually a better choice than the Hero4 Black for most consumers. In addition to a lower price tag, it’s actually the first (and to date only) GoPro to include touchscreen. Not even the $500 Black can boast that. Unfortunately, the Silver’s deals have been mostly limited to bundles, rather than cash savings. That changes today with a $50 discount. [GoPro HERO4 Silver, $350]

Lightning cables not long enough for you? $10 gets you a 10’ model today on Amazon. [iClever 10Ft / 3M Lightning to USB Cable, $10 with code XGSYZZKH]

If you need a battery pack to keep your phone powered up on the road, it’s tough to beat one that can charge itself using the power of the sun. We’ve seen plenty of solar-powered charger deals in the past, but this is the only one to my knowledge that’s broken the $20 barrier. [Levin 6000mAh Rain/Dirt/Shockproof Dual USB Solar Panel Charger, $18 with code JHRXH79D]

Another option is to just carry a battery pack large enough that you won’t need to charge it for days. This 15,000mAh Kmashi is one of the most popular battery packs we’ve ever posted, and it’s an absolute steal at $15. [Kmashi 15,000mAh External Battery Pack, $15 with code S48VYCRP]

When it comes to charging up in the car, four ports for $9 is about as good a deal as we ever see. [Aukey 9.6A / 48W 4-Port USB Car Charger, $9 with code J79AK6NY]

I can’t say I know from experience, but my understanding is that raising a baby is expensive. Luckily, Target’s making it a little bit easier with today’s deal. If you buy $200 worth of baby supplies from a variety of brands, you’ll get a $40 Target gift card back. Spend $125, and you’ll get a $20 gift card instead. Either way, that’s money in your pocket for buying stuff that you probably need anyway. [Target Baby Deal]

If your hard drive is overflowing, you can give it some relief with a 1TB external for just $50 today. That’s about as cheap as we ever see 1TB drives these days. [Toshiba Canvio Basics 1TB Portable Hard Drive, $50]

What KitchenAid’s 5-speed classic blender lacks in bells and whistles, it makes up for with great reviews and a fair price. It sells pretty consistently for $80-$100 around the web, but you can grab one from Newegg for just $70 right now. [KitchenAid 5-Speed Classic 56 oz. Blender, $70 with code KINJADEALS7A]

If you’ve been waiting on a good deal to upgrade to a 4K TV, today’s your lucky day. Ebay has the LG 60UF8500 60” 4K 3D TV down to just $1300 right now. That’s still a decent chunk of change, but it’s a whopping $500 less than Amazon, where the set has a 4.2 star review average. [LG 60UF8500 60” 4K 3D TV, $1300]

If you’ve been pining for a Wacom Cintiq digitizer monitor, but don’t have that kind of cash, this ASUS alternative seems to be a great deal at $485. The main differences between the two are pressure sensitivity—the Cintiq has 2048 levels to the ASUS’s 1024—and a corded stylus on the ASUS rather than the Wacom’s wireless model. But if those shortcomings don’t bother you, this is a fantastic price for any budding artists and photography professionals. [ASUS PT201Q 19.5-Inch Pen Digitizer Monitor, $485]

The Sony A7s might be the “new king of full-frame video”, but its price has remained remarkably stubborn at $2500 since it debuted last year. Today though, you can get the camera body plus an extra battery for $2,117, which is by far the best price we’ve ever seen. [Sony A7s Plus Extra Battery, $2117]

Motion-sensing LED night lights have been the surprise hit of 2015 here on Kinja Deals, and we’ve got another great deal on one of the most popular models today.

$8 gets you a single OxyLED T-05 motion sensing light with promo code 7OFT0501. That’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen on a single light, but if you need more than one (they work great in closets and cabinets too, not just hallways), you can save more by buying in bulk. Just use the correct promo code:

  • One for $8 with code 7OFT0501
  • Two for $15 with code 15OFT052
  • Three for $20 with code 25OFT053

Just add however many you need into your cart, and apply the appropriate promo code at checkout for your discount. [OxyLED T-05 DIY Stick-on Anywhere 10-LED Wireless Motion Sensing Light]

If you’re still using ugly CFL bulbs, or heaven forbid, energy-hogging incandescents, it’s time to transition to LED. To make the switch easier, Home Depot is taking up to 60% off a variety of bulbs in all different shapes, sizes, and color temperatures. At these prices, they’ll pay for themselves in the short term with energy savings, and in the long term with a lifespan that could stretch over multiple decades. Plus, many utility companies will pay you a buck or two for each bulb, if you submit a receipt. [LED Light Bulbs up to 60% Off at The Home Depot]

Note: Since this always comes up; you might be able to get cheaper LED bulbs at your local hardware store, since certain states and municipalities subsidize them at the time of purchase, rather than afterwards with a rebate. These prices are not available to most people though.

You guys buy boatloads of IR thermometers whenever we post a deal, and it’s easy to see why. They’re a ton of fun to mess around with, and can come in handy for everything from cooking to home energy savings.

If you still don’t own one, you can rectify that for just $12 today! [Etekcity Lasergrip 1080 Digital Laser Infrared Temperature Gun ( -58~+1022°F), $14 with code TEMPG4FF]

The nostalgia is strong in this one. If you ever like to emulate N64 games on your PC or Mac, this $12 USB controller should make the experience feel complete. [3rd Party Classic Retro N64 Bit USB Wired Controller for PC and Mac, $12]

We posted a deal on the must-own Cowboy Bebop Complete Series Blu-ray last week at $30, but today only, it’s even cheaper. Even if you aren’t usually into anime, it’s worth giving this one a try. And if you have seen it, the Blu-ray’s worth it for the extras alone. [Cowboy Bebop, $24]

The movie is also on sale for just $7. [Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, $7]

Whether you’re counting calories, baking, measuring espresso shots, or weighing small packages, a kitchen scale is a always a great tool to have on hand. This one has a stack of great reviews and is under $8 today, so there’s no need to weigh your options. [Etekcity 11lb/5kg Digital Kitchen Food Scale with 0.01oz Resolution, $8 with code DKSLF2FF]

If you’ve been waiting on a good deal to upgrade your home network to 802.11ac, this might push you over the edge. Amazon’s tossing in a free 1TB external drive when you purchase a highly-rated NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 router for $170. That’s within $10 of the router’s all-time low price on its own, and the hard drive makes it the best deal we’ve seen. [NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band Wi-FI Gigabit Router (R7000) + Toshiba Canvio Basics 1TB Portable Hard Drive, $170]

If you spent $350-$18,000 on an Apple Watch, it’s probably worth spending $3 on a nice charging cradle for your nightstand. The catch is that since this model holds the watch vertically, it won’t work with watchOS 2’s alarm clock mode, but if that doesn’t bother you, it’s a fantastic deal. [LoHi Apple Watch Charging Stand, $3 with code W9VQWPG8]

Samsung’s 850 EVO is by far the most popular consumer SSD on the market today, and its 500GB model is down to one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen today. [Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD, $150]
