Anker’s ubiquitous Astro series of USB battery packs are some of the most popular items we’ve ever posted, but today we have one of the first deals ever on their brand new PowerCore charger.

The 13,000mAh pack features high quality Panasonic battery cells and can output 4 amps of power through a single USB port (or split that power between its two ports), meaning you can charge two tablets or phones at full speed simultaneously, or even charge up a high-draw device like a new MacBook at acceptable speeds. The older 13,000 Astro E4, by comparison, can only push out 3 amps. The PowerCore also comes with a new matte design that should resist fingerprints and be a little less slippery. [Anker PowerCore 13,000 mAh External Charger, $24 with code T8D4HOME]

Of course, sometimes you need something a little more compact to carry around in your pocket, and this 3,000mAh Olala option fits the bill for just $3. [OLALA Y1 Power Bank 3000mAh Portable Cell phone Mobile External Battery Charger, $3 with code 674QTPE6]

Different lighting temperatures are ideal for different tasks and different times of the day, and this desk lamp can adapt to fit your needs with the flick of a switch.

The OxyLED T120 can output a cooler 5000k color temperature when you need to stay awake or see colors accurately, or a warmer 3000k temperature in the evening, when you want a more relaxing environment. If your eyes are shedding tears of joy at the thought, you can save $14 when you buy it from Amazon today with code 14OFT120. [OxyLED T120 Dimmable Eye-care LED Desk Lamp with Cool & Warm Color Light, $36 with code 14OFT120]

Treadmill desks are great for your health, but bad for your wallet. If you’ve been waiting for a good price, the LifeSpan TR800 Treadmill Desk is down to a new all-time low at Target today. [LifeSpan TR800-DT5 Desktop Treadmill, $899]

Who are we kidding, your cat will hate you no matter what you give it, but if you care about its happiness, or at least its claws, this is one of the most popular scratching posts you can buy. It’s also the one my girlfriend, a vet student, recommends. [SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post, $37]

If you have any big DIY projects on the horizon, today’s Amazon Gold Box deal is here to help. $315 gets you a 6-tool PORTER-CABLE combo kit, complete with drill, impact driver, circular saw, tiger saw, multi-tool, and flashlight, all of which operate using the included Li-Ion batteries.

This kit typically sells for $380-$425, and has never been this cheap. Just remember that Gold Box deals are only valid for one day, or until sold out. [PORTER-CABLE 20V Lithium Ion MAX 6-Tool Combo Kit, $315]

By now, most of you probably have a USB battery pack or two to keep your phones charged, and that’s great! But I’m willing to bet most of them won’t start your car if its battery dies.

The $60 RAVPower compact car jump starter has your standard pair of USB ports and a 12,000mAh built-in battery, but it also ships with a set of removable jumper cables to jolt your car’s engine to life in a pinch. Once you’re up and running, it’ll even recharge itself via an included 15V car charger, so it never even has to leave your glove box.

Hopefully you don’t need to use this often, but it’s one of those things you’ll be really glad you bought when the time comes. [RAVPower 500A Peak Current Portable Car Jump Starter Power Bank, $60 with code 9EBVGO2G]

If you hurry over to Best Buy, you can snag a 3TB model of the incredibly-popular WD My Book external hard drive for just $87, an all-time low. That’s actually less than the current selling price of the 2TB model, so we don’t expect it to last long. [WD My Book 3TB, $87]

It’s not a cash discount, but getting a free extra controller (which you would have bought anyway), and three months of PlayStation Plus with your purchase of a PS4 is basically just as good.

I love bundles like this, because controllers don’t really depreciate like games, and you’ll use them for the entire life of the system. No tax for most. [PS4 + The Last of Us + 3 Months PlayStation Plus + Extra Controller, $400]

We love Pyrex around these parts, and their two-pack of measuring cups is down to an all-time low price today. In addition to looking and feeling 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. [Set of 1-Cup and 2-Cup Pyrex Prepware Measuring Cups, $13]

Like the classic BlenderBottle, Contigo’s Shanke and Go Fit mixer bottle comes with a weighted mixing ball to help blend the your favorite protein shakes, smoothies, or even pancake batter. Just add add your ingredients, shake vigorously, and start drinking (unless it’s pancake batter, you animal). [Contigo Shake and Go Fit Mixer Bottle, 28-Ounce, $7]

Today on eBay, you can grab a brand new iPad Air 2 128GB for the same price as the 64GB model. If you’ve been thinking of picking one of these up, that’s you basically just doubled your storage for free. You can even choose from all three colors. [iPad Air 2 128GB, $600]

Have you ever been playing Monopoly and thought, “boy, I sure wish this board was bigger.” Well, today you can make your dream come true for just $22. The Monopoly Giant Edition includes a 28” square board (compared to the usual 20”), plus game pieces, money, and even dice that are 50% larger than usual. It seems like a gimmick, but I could see the appeal if you’re gathered around a large table. [Monopoly Board Game - Giant Edition, $22]

The charging dock that your DualShock 4s deserve is only $8 right now. That’s the cheapest DS4 charging solution we’ve ever seen by a pretty wide margin. [SmaAcc DualShock 4 Dual Charging Dock, $8 with code E7LGDUII]

Update: Sold out. Check out the Nyko Charge Base or PowerA Charging Station for more options.

Today only on Amazon, $70 gets you 100 (yes, 100) of the best sports documentaries and shorts from ESPN’s 30 for 30 series. This set typically sells for $110-$125, and today’s Gold Box deal is an all-time low. Even if you don’t want it for yourself, this would be a fantastic gift for any sports fans in your life. [ESPN Films 30 for 30: Five-Year Anniversary Collection, $70]

This Philips trimmer isn’t going to give you a close shave; it’s built to sculpt and maintain the perfect beard. With 10 different length settings, a 4.2 star review average, and a $15 price tag, any budding bearders should go with the grain and pick one up. [Philips Norelco QT4000/42 BeardTrimmer 3100, $15]

Whether it’s gay enough is open to debate, but The Imitation Game was undoubtedly one of the better movies of 2014, and a perfectly reasonable way to kill two hours. If you still haven’t seen it, you can rent it in HD from Amazon for just $1 right now. Once you complete your purchase, you’ll have 30 days to start watching, so you can plan a movie night at your leisure. [Rent The Imitation Game, $1]

This bathroom scale doesn’t sync with your smartphone or anything fancy like that, but it’s cheap, attractive, and reviewers say it’s very accurate. If that’s all you need out of a scale, this is a fantastic price. [Mosiso High Accuracy Digital Bathroom Scale, $18 with code 2ELVSHC5]

There’s not much to say about this knife-hiding key other than that it looks awesome, and only costs $8. Just don’t forget to leave it at home before you head to the airport. [SOG Specialty Knives KEY-101 Key Knife, $8]

Target just kicked off their Black Friday in July sale, and I can assure you that you won’t confuse it for the real Black Friday. That said, there are a handful of noteworthy deals to check out. We’ve listed a few below, but head over to Target to see the full list. [Target Black Friday in July]

The compact Ninja Master Prep Professional is one of the more versatile kitchen gadgets you can own, and its back down to an all-time low $40 today on Amazon, for Prime members only.

Want to mix up a frozen smoothie? Chop some onions? Puree a few tomatoes? The Ninja is designed for all of that, and includes three different-sized jars and blade sets to handle your disparate kitchen duties. You can’t say that about most blenders.

Despite the low price, the Ninja has a stellar 4.5 star review average on Amazon, which would be impressive for any inexpensive blender, let alone one as versatile as this. We’ve seen it drop to $40 a few times in the past, but it tends to jump back to the $50-$60 range fairly quickly, so act fast. [Ninja Master Prep Professional, $40. Prime members only]
