Top Deals

Well here’s something I didn’t expect to see today: Amazon is offering up $50 gift cards when you subscribe to a year of Dropbox Pro for $99, today only (Note: New Dropbox Pro customers only). That gets you 1TB in the cloud to store all of your stuff for a full year, and the Amazon gift card couldn’t arrive at a better time, as holiday shopping is in full swing.

We don’t know if there’s a redemption limit on this deal, but we do know it’ll expire at the end of the day at the very latest, so don’t waste any time.

Alternatively, you can get a year of unlimited Amazon Cloud Drive storage for $48 (down from $60) today with promo code PRINTS.

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.

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.

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.

Target’s apparel section is full of affordable, on-trend pieces of clothing, shoes and more. And right now, you’ll save $10 on $50 and $25 on $100 on clothing, shoes, and accessories with the code STYLE. Plus, get extra savings on cold-weather essentials like coats, gloves and hats with the code COLD. It’s basically a no-brainer to get to Target and stock up.

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.

Have any international vacation/business/fleeing the country plans coming up? This $8 gadget will convert just about any power outlet on earth into one you can use, and even includes two USB ports for charging your mobile devices.

This is everything you could want in a $10 surge protector. Six outlets, two USB ports, and a swiveling design that minimizes the distance the whole setup will project out from your wall once everything’s plugged in.

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!

If you’re still using ugly CFLs or inefficient incandescents in any of your lighting fixtures, Amazon will sell you 16 Philips LED 60W equivalent bulbs for $25 right now, an all-time low, and one of the best LED bulbs prices we’ve ever seen.

Just note that these are daylight bulbs, so they’re probably better suited to areas where you work; kitchens, offices, garages, than places where you want to relax and unwind.

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.

I’m sure there’s someone on your list who wants at least something Marvel. Well, Amazon is marking down a ridiculous amount of Marvel stuff, from tees and bedding, to books and games. It’s basically a comic book lover’s dream. But you’d better take advantage of this today, because it’ll disappear quicker than you can say “My Spidey senses are tingling.”

If you’ve been eyeing something from Adidas, either for yourself or as a gift for the fitness junkie in your life, now’s the time to get it. What previously was only a discount on custom sneakers last week, is now a sitewide discount of 20% off when you use the code MIADIDAS.

And when I say sitewide, I mean it. I just tried it on Stan Smiths and most of the new stuff and even though some say “excluded from promos” it still works.

Anker has continued its inexorable march towards producing anything that includes a battery with the gargantuan PowerHouse electric “generator,” and you can save $75 on yours for a limited time.

I put “generator” in scare quotes because you can’t readily use the PowerHouse to generate electricity, unless you buy additional solar panels. Instead, it’s basically a gigantic lithium-ion battery that can power everything from mini-fridges to laptops to televisions to emergency medical equipment for hours on end.

There are a few similar products on the market, most notably Goal Zero’s Yeti 400, but those use heavy lead-acid batteries (the Yeti weighs 29 pounds), rather than lithium-ion like the 9.3 pound PowerHouse.

I could see using this thing as an alternative to a noisy gas generator for tailgating, or you could just keep it charged and at the ready for power outages at home. It’s definitely an investment at its $500 list price, but for a limited time, it’s down to $425, its lowest price since a $100 launch discount.

Keep your teeth health and your face looking fresh with Amazon’s sale on oral care products and shavers.

In this Gold Box, you’ll find the Bluetooth-enabled Oral B 3000 electric toothbrush, which has three different modes, a timer to let you know when to switch spots, and a small, easy-to-use rechargeable base.

Next up, is the ubiquitous teeth-whitening kit from Crest. For only $25, you get 20 whitening treatments, which will last you over a year.

Then, you have a choice of two shavers: the Braun BT5050 Precision Trimmer or Braun Series 5 5030s Shaver. Either shaver would be a welcome addition to any bathroom.

And finally, you have the Braun Silk-épil 7, which is an epilator (or a sexy term for hair remover).

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.

Anker’s HomeVac vacuum transforms from handheld to upright, has the impressive runtime you’d expect from the brand that makes your favorite battery packs, a washable HEPA filter, and a great warranty. That’s quite a package for $87, within a dollar of an all-time low.

This was Anker’s first foray into cleaning products (the Roomba-inspired RoboVac was the second), and reviewers seem to love it so far. It’ll run for 24 minutes on a charge at full power, or an hour in eco mode, which should be sufficient for most average-sized homes. The standout feature though is definitely the detachable hand vac, which lets you clean furniture, shelves, and even your car with ease.

The NBA season is in full swing, and if you haven’t gotten your team merch down (and didn’t get anything from the last sale) you can grab some at a discount, thanks to this NBA Gold Box. Like a lot of these sport-centric apparel deals, there are only a select number of teams and sizes, and you’ll have to click into each product page to see which teams are available, so it may require some finagling to get what you want.

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.

The perfect gift for the Fast & Furious fan on your list is just $28 in today’s Amazon Gold Box. That gets you all seven films on Blu-ray and digital, plus an extra disc full of special features. If you don’t feel like doing math, that’s just $4 per film.

Stand-up inflatable paddle boards are never cheap, but this highly rated Tower Paddle Boards Adventurer 2 is down to an all-time low price on Amazon, today only. That comes with the board, an adjustable paddle, and an air pump; everything you need to hit the water. And since it’s inflatable, you can stuff it into an overhead bin and head towards the nearest warm beach.

Life’s too short to use cheap, store brand shaving cream, and Proraso is one of your preferred step-up alternatives. It normally costs about $10 for a tube, but for a limited time, you can get one for $7.

You don’t have to use a shaving brush with this stuff, but it’ll give you the best lather, and they aren’t that expensive.

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.

You don’t need to pay a dealership $50 or more to de-fog your headlights; you can do it yourself in minutes with this affordable Meguiar’s kit, now cheaper than ever once you clip the $2 coupon on the page. There are cheaper restoration kits out there, but this one includes a drill-operated pad that can be reused, and is more effective than buffing by hand.

Just in time for winter, Amazon’s marked down this remote-controlled space heater to an all-time low $85 today. The wood paneling really does it for me.

Little Giant Ladders are some of the most popular on the market, and you can get a 15' model (confusingly named the Model 17) for $156, or a 13' for $137, both all-time lows on Amazon. Don’t do what the women in those photos are doing though; have someone stand underneath.

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.

If you didn’t get all the games you wanted on Black Friday, Best Buy’s running a buy two, get one free promotion on hundreds of titles today. The deals in most cases aren’t quite as good as you might have found last week, but the sale does include new games like Final Fantasy XV and Watch Dogs 2, which didn’t see big discounts during Deals Week.

Anker’s kevlar-wrapped PowerLine cables were an immediate hit with our readers, and you can upgrade your entire microUSB cable collection today with this $11 5-pack. That’s a couple bucks less than the usual price for this pack, which includes a two 1' cables, two 3', and a 6'.

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.

Mpow’s motion-sensing solar lights have been a hit this year, and you can choose from several combinations for great low prices today. These are great for anyone who’s ever tripped over their front porch at night, or who just wants a little extra illumination for their yard. And since they’re solar powered, there’s no wiring required; just hang them up, and let them do their thing.

Most gaming mice look like futuristic EMP grenades or robotic pets, but Razer’s DeathAdder became one of your favorite gaming mice by keeping things clean and simple. Want to try one out, or buy it for the gamer in your life this holiday season? Amazon’s marked it down to $35 today, an all-time low, and a match for Prime Day.

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, from now until December 5.

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.

ExOfficio’s Give-N-Go boxer briefs were a finalist in our recent best men’s underwear Co-Op, and our readers have gone on to purchase over 20,000 pairs since. Right now, Amazon is having an insane BOGO 50% off sale on select ExOfficio underwear, including the Give-N-Go boxer brief. So stock your underwear drawer with a bestseller.

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.

Glerups are made from 100% natural wool and have no equal in the lounge shoe space. Our readers can snag an exclusive 25% off this week with code KINJA25, guaranteed delivery by December 25th.

Our discount is available on all of Huckberry’s Glerups inventory, including the boot, shoe, and slip-on styles, the rubber sole options, and the Huckberry-exclusive midnight blue color.

I’ve been wearing Glerups for months now and could never go back to the cycle of buying and throwing away cheap slippers on a regular basis. The moisture-wicking properties of the wool, and the fact that they’re just ridiculously comfortable will ensure you keep them around for years.

Glerups are rarely discounted and make for an amazing holiday gift.
