Top Deals

Whether you’re building a new PC, upgrading your home network, or just finally want to give mechanical keyboards a try, Amazon’s PC component Gold Box has you covered with nearly two dozen deals.

Inside, you’ll find routers, keyboards, PC cases, graphics cards, mice, and more, all marked down to great low prices. And even if your personal battle station is as good as it can be, you can probably find a good gift idea in there for someone else. We listed a few favorites below, but head over here to see the rest.

Just remember that like all Gold Box deals, these prices are only available today, or until sold out.

Whether your current mouse is giving you chronic wrist pain, or you just want to try something different, this 4.2 star rated wireless ergonomic vertical mouse from Anker is only $13 today. In addition to the clever design, it even comes with three adjustable DPI settings and forward/back buttons, which are pretty rare at this price level.

Warm weather may seem a long way off, but it’ll be here before you know it, and you can be ready to take full advantage with Amazon’s big hammock deal.

Today only, Amazon’s selling popular Vivere double hammocks with steel stands for just $80 today, complete with free shipping. That’s the lowest price ever listed on these 4.7 star-rated hammocks, and an absolute steal when you consider what it must cost to ship a 33 pound box. The hammocks are all designed to hold two people weighing a combined 450 pounds, and the bed is made of 100% breathable cotton, so your cocoon shouldn’t overheat.

This is a Gold Box deal though, meaning this price is only available today, or until sold out. There are several color options available right now, but I’d imagine several will be gone by this afternoon.

Cold brew coffee might not sound appealing in the winter, but that’s only if you conflate it with iced coffee, which is not the same thing. Cold brew is just a steeping process that results in less acidity, among other benefits, and you can enjoy it hot or cold all year ‘round. If you want to give it a shot, the Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker is the easiest way to get started, and it’s only $18 today.

This non-coffee drinker bought one of these a few months ago, 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.

Amazon’s listed slightly lower prices on a few occasions, but $18 is still several dollars less than its usual going rate.

The Braun Series 7 was the overwhelming winner in our electric shaver Co-Op, and Amazon will sell you one for $130 today, after you clip a $25 coupon on the product page.

That comes with both the waterproof shaver and the charging/cleaning base station. It’s still an investment, but it would make a fantastic gift, if you just can’t spend that kind of money on yourself.

Whether you’re enticed by the idea of a Bluetooth-connected toothbrush, or just want it to get off your lawn, $60 is a great deal for an Oral-B toothbrush with a pressure sensor, five modes, and compatibility with several different brush heads.

If you want to pair it with your phone to track your brushing habits and learn which parts of your mouth aren’t getting enough attention, great! If not, it’s still worth buying at this price, which is a new all-time low. Just be sure to clip the $15 coupon.

Nonda’s USB-C to USB-A adapter is one of the smallest products of its kind, and at $9, it’s also one of the cheapest. You even get your choice of silver, space grey, and gold finishes to match your MacBook.

Just in time for the confluence of the Rogue One hype train and the holiday gift-giving season, several Star Wars LEGO sets are 20% off their usual prices on Amazon today.

In case you missed it last week amidst the Black Friday craziness, you can still grab a pair of Bosch Insight wiper blades for $23 from Amazon today.

Just pick the two you need, add them to your cart, and the discount should appear automatically, assuming both were shipped and sold by Amazon.com. The deal even allows you to mix and match sizes, so you can almost certainly find a combination that will work for your car.

A good step stool is something everyone should own, and this highly-rated model from Greenco can hold up to 300 pounds, then fold up to nearly nothing when you’re done using it. Today’s $10 deal is match for an all-time low, and you even get to pick from a variety of colors.

Put all that crap you carry into something a little nicer than what you have with these discounted Under Armour bags. Choose from a few different styles, like totes, backpacks, duffles and more. Plus, these prices are the lowest they’ve ever been on Amazon. You’ll end up saving money and getting a great bag out of it.

TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) massagers seem a bit like pseudoscience, but every time we post a deal on this thing, we hear nothing but rave reviews. In fact, I use one occasionally after exercising, and I’m pretty sure it helps reduce muscle pain. At the very least, it feels cool.

If you don’t want to dedicate a watermelon-sized chunk of fridge space to a Brita pitcher, this easy-to-install faucet attachment is just $13 on Amazon today, an all-time low.

The PUR Black can filter up to 100 gallons of water per filter, and with replacements available for less than $10 each, that comes out to about $.01 per 16 ounce bottle of lead, asbestos, and sediment-free water.

Your favorite USB car charger just happens to be the smallest one you can buy, and you can grab two on Amazon for $12 today. These make perfect stocking stuffers, so this is a fantastic opportunity to stock up. Just add two chargers to your cart, and use promo code AUKCARCC to save $6.

Note: Black model only. Be sure you’re purchasing from Aukey’s Amazon listing, not the direct Amazon listing.

The best thing about fall and winter is all the smells. Not the actual IRL smells, but the ones that brands dig up for their limited edition, made up things like ‘Tis the Season and Fresh Sparkling Snow. You can stock up on those scents and more with 3-wick candles from Bath & Body Works. Already marked down to $13, you’ll be able to knock off 20% if you use the code F165004.

When your tires get low (and in this weather, they probably already are), you’ve got two choices. You could scrounge together some quarters, drive to a gas station, fumble around with the filthy air hose, and run out of time after filling three tires. Or, you could just buy a compressor to keep in your trunk, and top off your tires whenever you want, for free. This one’s only $30 today, and even includes a warning light if you have to use it on the side of the highway.

You might not need to use a Dremel all that often, but it’s one of those things everyone should keep in their tool box, if only for sanding wood and carving jack-o-lanterns. Today on Amazon, you can score the the Dremel 2290 3-tool craft kit to an all-time low $59 (from about $75-$80).

Of course, the kit comes with a standard 2-speed Dremel rotary tool, but what makes this collection special are the included extras: A pen-style rotary engraver, and a butane soldering torch. That makes this a great tool for everything from home improvement projects to arts & crafts.

The Dremel you bought that one time probably came with a handful of attachments and accessories, but you can add 130 more to your toolbox for just $10.

For friends and family members that aren’t regularly backing up their files, there’s no better gift than an external hard drive, especially when 1TB will only set you back $50.

A few months ago, I bought an extra-long Lightning cable to run behind my couch cushions so I could comfortably charge my iPhone while I watched TV, and it was one of the better decisions I made this year. For $9, there’s no reason not to follow suit.

Update: Amazon sold out, but it’s available for the same price from Home Depot.

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 $30.

If you can’t afford to outfit your entire kitchen with All-Clad gear, this 4 quart Cuisinart saucepan uses the same Tri-ply technology of 18/10 stainless steel surrounding an aluminum core, and it can be yours for just $37. I own a slightly smaller model of this saucepan, and absolutely love it.

If you want a smaller saucepan, the 2 quart is also on sale for $35.

For just $4-$5 today, you can sip your drinks in style with a four pack of stainless steel drinking straws, either bent or straight. I own the bent ones, and use them for everything from Coke Zero to Moscow Mules. And don’t worry, they come with a little tube cleaner to help you wash them.

Inflatable hot tubs might look a little bit cheap, but for $300, I’m willing to forgive it. This model has great reviews, can accommodate 4-6 people (depending on how much you like them, I guess) and normally sells for around $400.

Club Monaco is one of those stores that you frequently stare at but never purchase from. With an additional 30% off sale items, no code needed, Club Monaco is about to sing you a siren song. Buy this peacoat or that cocktail dress. It’s an extra 30% off. Just go for it.

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 $28 right now, which is an absolute steal for the quality you’re getting. Needless to say, it would also be a great gift for anyone who enjoys cooking.

Just in time for the holidays, Amazon’s taking a whopping 60% off custom-printed cards, calendars, and books.

These were priced competitively even before the discount, starting at $15 for calendars, $13 for books, and $.75 for cards, so with the added savings, this is a fantastic chance to stock up on gifts.

Shipping is free for Prime members, and expedited on orders of $15 or more. Just be sure to use promo code HOLIDAY at checkout to claim your savings.

2016 got you down? Joe Haldeman’s award-winning novel, The Forever War...won’t really help at all. In fact, it’ll probably make you a lot sadder. But still, it’s a timeless classic, and you have zero excuse not to buy it for your Kindle for a quarter.

Anker’s home goods brand, Eufy, put its new set of copper string lights back on sale today for their lowest price ever, complete with adjustable brightness and multiple effects. A version of these lights without the remote was on sale for $7 last week, but the remote’s convenience and added lighting options make it well worth the price premium.

One of the best wireless router deals we’ve ever seen is running right now at T-Mobile, of all places. $59 gets you a rebranded ASUS RT-AC68U AC1900 router (with code WIFI40), which is about $100 less than buying it from Amazon, and an amazing deal on our readers’ recently crowned favorite router.

This version has some T-Mobile branding and claims to be optimized for Wi-Fi calling, but under the hood, it’s just a standard (and very popular) Wi-Fi router. The deal is available to everyone, even if you aren’t a T-Mobile customer, but it’s sold out quickly a few times in the past (albeit at slightly lower prices), so don’t hesitate.

Know anyone with too many remote controls? Trick question, we all have too many remote controls, which is why the Logitech Harmony 650 is a perfect gift for anyone left on your shopping list.

The Harmony 650 can control up to eight of your favorite home theater devices (from a database of nearly 250,000), and programmable macros like “watch a Blu-ray” can turn on all of the necessary devices, and switch a TV to the correct input with just a single button press.

$50 is a match for the best price we’ve seen on this model, so click on over to Amazon to lock in the price.

The Timex Weekender came in second, just barely, in the vote for your favorite affordable analog watches. And for good reason. The simple, sleek design looks good and will definitely not break the bank. Grab a timepiece from Amazon today, with a select number of bands, and you’ll only be spending around $25.

‘Tis the season for peppermint bark, and you’ll find plenty of it, plus a lot more, in Amazon’s holiday Ghirardelli sale.

For a limited time, you can save 15% on a variety of holiday chocolates, including elaborate, six-tier gift boxes. Just remember that the prices you see on the page don’t reflect the 15% savings; you’ll only see your final price at checkout.

If you missed out on all of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday console discounts this year, it’s not too late to get a solid deal on a PS4 Slim. Today on Aamzon, $269 gets you the Uncharted console bundle, plus a year of PlayStation Plus, which you were going to want to buy anyway.

That’s $30 less than the console’s usual price (though it’s $20 higher than its Black Friday price), but the PlayStation Plus membership is easily worth about $50 on its own.

It’s past time to book your holiday flights, but this discounted Southwest gift card can make your ticket just a little bit cheaper.

Last night, I rebooked a Southwest flight that had gotten cheaper after I bought the ticket, and they gave me the difference as a travel credit automatically, with no change fees. Not bad!

Before you head out on your next adventure, be sure to pick up this $200 Airbnb gift card for just $170. If you use the service with any regularity, that’s basically free money. And even if you’re a hotel dweller yourself, this would obviously be a great gift for the more adventurous members of your family.

Spend $75 at Smartwool and get $20 back on your next purchase, for a limited time. Yes, it’s possible to drop $75 at Smartwool. Think of three people you need easy, small gifts for and BAM, you’re basically there.

Smartwool beat out some stiff competition to become your favorite men’s everyday sock. But don’t just click a few socks and leave, because Smartwool also makes some pretty fantastic running clothes, underwear and cold-weather accessories. It’ll be pretty easy to rack up that $75 when you see just how much the brand has to offer.

Bodum’s pour-over coffee maker is as beautiful as it is functional, and Amazon’s marked it back down to $15 today, matching the best price they’ve ever listed on the 34 ounce model. Hopefully, you take your coffee makers like you take your coffee: Black. Because that’s the only color on sale today.

So you got yourself a nice new SSD on Black Friday. Congrats! But what are you going to do with your old drive? For just $8, you can give it a second life as compact and speedy external storage for all of your files.

Wireless earbuds are great, affordable gifts for the year of the headphone jack-free iPhone, and four different models are on sale today, including one with active noise cancellation. Just be sure to note the promo codes (where applicable) below.

All-Clad skillets are among the most popular pieces of cookware we’ve ever posted, and Amazon’s marked them back down to great low prices, just in time for the holidays.

These skillets feature a durable stainless steel cooking surface, an even and rapid-heating aluminum core, and a beautiful stainless exterior, all sandwiched together to create the ultimate pan. And, like all All-Clad items, it comes with a lifetime warranty, though you probably won’t need it so long as you treat it well.

Most buyers will want to opt for the 12" skillet with lid for $90 (within $2 of an all-time low), but if you’re only cooking for one or two, you might be able to get away with the 10" model (with a lid) for $75.

For a certain kind of person, a new knife is the best stocking stuffer, and several models from Gerber on sale today, starting under $10.

While not a knife, you can also get the Gerber Shard keychain for just $4. It’s airline safe, and includes a bottle opener, a wire stripper, and a few screwdrivers.

Have anyone on your holiday shopping list that wants Ray-Bans this year? If you buy them from Amazon, you’ll get a $20 account credit back. Plus, there are over 100 different styles to choose from. This deal’s so bright you’re going to have to wear shades.

Sugru is right up there with binder clips and the Raspberry Pi in Lifehacker’s pantheon of must-have gear, and you can stock up today with eight packs from Amazon for just $15, in the color combination of your choice. That’s not the best Sugru deal we’ve ever seen, but it’s pretty solid.

Hot off the heels of its $10-off-$25 physical book sale last weekend, Amazon’s now taking $5 off any $15 book purchase (including multiple, cheaper books) with promo code GIFTBOOK.

Just like last time, this deal excludes Kindle titles and audiobooks, but if there are any commemorative coffee table-type books or collector’s editions that you’ve been eyeing, this is a great opportunity. Just choose carefully; you can only use the code once per account.

If your Eneloop AA collection isn’t quite as big as it could be, you can supplement it with an 8-pack of AmazonBasics AAs for $17 today.

That’s an all-time low price, and $3 less than the equivalent Eneloop pack, and if you believe some reviewers, these may actually be rebranded Eneloops themselves. We can’t verify that claim (though like Eneloops, they were produced in Japan and pre-charged with solar energy, which seems really specific to be a coincidence), but whatever their origin, they have great reviews, and a stellar price tag.

While it seem crazy to think about buying any other drone besides a DJI, this $30 Dromida Ominus may be the key to a drone-filled Christmas. This beginner model helps two-fold: you don’t need to shell out a crazy amount of money on something that may break and you can get a feel for piloting before even thinking about shelling out that money.

Choose from four different colors, and give someone (or yourself) a great Christmas present.

Amazon’s Prime Pantry service has kicked off the month of December with a pair of special promotions, including a $10 discount exclusive to Kinja Deals readers!

First off, promo code PANTRY60KINJ will take $10 off any $60 Pantry order. It doesn’t matter what you buy, and it even works if you’ve used Pantry in the past. Easy peasy.

If the $6-per-box Prime Pantry delivery fee is scaring you off, it’s easy to avoid by including any five items from this page in your box. There are hundreds of eligible products from across every major category (including your favorite toilet paper), so you should have no trouble finding five that you were going to buy anyway. If you meet this requirement, you’ll see the $6 shipping fee waived at checkout.

In case $16 in savings wasn’t enough, if you have any Prime Pantry delivery credits in your account from choosing no-rush shipping on old Prime orders, that will still apply even if you got the free shipping promotion, giving you an extra $6 off.

So if you play your cards right here, you’ll pay far less for non-refrigerated food, laundry detergent, bathroom essentials, skin care, and home goods than you would at your local supermarket, and you won’t even have to leave the house to get it. That’s what they call a no-brainer.

While supplies last (which, if history is any indication, won’t be long), you can get a 17 cup and 2.5 cup RubberMaid FreshWorks container for just $14. These went down to an all-time low $10 about a month ago, but sold out ridiculously fast. So if you’re still thinking about grabbing a set, now’s the time.
