By
Tercius

A discounted UE Boom, a Bonobos site-wide sale, Rosetta Stone, and a cheap copy of Breaking Bad kick off Tuesday’s best deals.

BEST TECH DEALS

Let’s face the facts; you don’t need the iPad Pro. The standard 2018 iPad is a terrific tablet for both consuming and creating media. (And it works with the Apple Pencil, the first non-Pro model to do so.)

And right now you can get the 32GB model for $229 in Walamrt $20 less than the lowest prices we saw (on and off) around Black Friday.

This 55" TV from Samsung offers all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a mid-tier TV under $700, including 4K UHD resolution, HDR, and internet connectivity. And today, both Walmart and Amazon have it marked down to $478, the lowest price we’ve seen from either retailer.

This current deal is about $50-70 off the regular going rate. So, this may be one of the last, best TV deals available to ship on time for Christmas.

The UE Boom 2 is the waterproof sequel for one of the best Bluetooth speakers of all time, and Amazon’s marked down the Limited Edition version to $64 today, the best price we’ve ever seen.

USB-C is taking over the world, so if you’re getting a new Switch, laptop, or other USB-C-powered device for the holidays this year, Anker’s got you covered with all the charging accessories you need.

For the chargers, just be sure to note the wattage of the USB-C port. 30W should be plenty for most laptops (if a bit slower than MacBook Pro owners might be used to), and 18W should be okay for things like iPads, phones, and even the Switch in handheld mode.

Chargers:

Battery Packs

Cables

Compared to its predecessor, the newest Amazon Echo Dot looks nicer, sounds better, and today at least, is even cheaper. This $20 deal from Daily Steals (via Facebook) is actually less than Amazon was selling these for on Black Friday, and you even get free shipping.

Bose’s wireless QuietComfort 35 headphones set the standard for all other brands to follow when it comes to noise-cancelling technology. And right now you can get a pair for $300.

This price is $30-50 lower than usual, matching its Black Friday pricing.

However, as with all great things, these are not cheap. But it’s hard to argue against this investment, especially around the holiday travel season.

Anker’s reader-favorite PowerLine charging cables have blossomed into an entire line of different products, and it hasn’t always been clear which one was the best:

  • PowerLine - The original. Rubber-wrapped, and kevlar-reinforced.
  • PowerLine+ - The same, but wrapped in Nylon for added durability, less tangling, and a better feel.
  • PowerLine II - A more durable version of the original, and backed by a lifetime warranty, but without the benefits of nylon wrapping.

That confusion can now become a thing of the past, because Anker combined the best of all of its cables into the new PowerLine+ II, and you can save on the 3' (promo code CABLE8462) or 6' (CABLE8463) USB-A to USB-C version today. It’s incredibly durable, it’s wrapped in nylon, and it comes with a lifetime warranty, meaning it’s probably the last cable you’ll ever have to buy.

Those codes work on both red and black, but just be sure you’re using the right code for the right length. And remember, USB-A to USB-C cables don’t support USB-C Power Delivery charging speeds like C-to-C cables, but they do allow you to charge your USB-C gadgets from any standard, ubiquitous USB charger.

How inkjet printers can be both frustratingly awful and painfully mundane never ceases to amuse me. Bless monochrome laserjets, like this $35 Samsung Xpress M2024W, for being much less of a train-wreck.

By-and-large, inkjet printers are soul-sucking monsters. They waste a lot of ink from maintenance cycles and the refills are obnoxiously expensive. Laser printers, on the other hand, use toner which doesn’t dry out, so you’ll spend less on refills regardless of how infrequently you print.

But, this model only prints in black-and-white and laser printers are notoriously mediocre at printing photos. If you’re okay with that, Office Depot has this Amazon return label printing machine for half the price currently on Amazon.

At 18W, this Aukey power brick isn’t the most powerful USB-C Power Delivery charger we’ve seen—a 12" MacBook’s charger puts out 29W, for example—but it is certainly the smallest, and one of the cheapest to boot. Just clip the coupon code before checkout to save.

Anker’s most impressive entry in the true wireless headphone market is on sale for the lowest price we’ve ever seen, by a longshot.

You can read our impressions of the Zolo Liberty+ over on The Inventory, but here are some highlights:

  • 3.5 hour battery, plus a charging case with enough power for 48 hours of playback.
  • Transparency mode that lets in some ambient noise.
  • Customizable EQ settings.
  • Bluetooth 5.0 for a stable connection.

Normally priced at $150, promo code ZWSDZ2010 will bring them down to $75 right now, just in time for the holidays. That’s less than they were selling for on Kickstarter, way back when.

For $15 less (with promo code ZWSDZ2000), you can also get the standard Zolo Liberties, which only carry 24 hours of charge in their case, rather than 48. They also lack transparency mode and customizable EQ settings, so it’s probably worth spending just a little more for the top-end model.

It might look like a run of the mill USB battery pack, but EnergyFlux’s Enduro pulls double duty as an electric hand warmer. Its 7800mAh of power can recharge your phone a couple of times, or heat the exterior up to 109 degrees for about seven hours, depending on how cold it is outside.

At just $27 (after clipping the 10% coupon), it beats buying a bunch of those chemical hand warmers that can only be used once, and would make a great last minute gift for anyone living in a cold climate.

I love my fancy, new 11-inch iPad Pro and right now, you can take $40 off the 64GB Space Gray model on Amazon.

During Cyber Week, I picked up both the Pro and the regular 2018 iPad, and there was no question which had more power and a better screen.

While most people would be happy with the standard iPad, I couldn’t suffer through a non-laminated display. I’m also really excited to use it in tandem with the latest Apple Pencil, which is more convenient and easier to hold.

TCL’s affordable 6-series TVs are famous for offering every form of HDR (including top-shelf Dolby Vision), local dimming zones for better contrast and black levels, and even excellent Roku software, and the 55" model just dropped to a new all-time low price of $550. That’s about $100 less than usual, and even $80 cheaper than we saw on Black Friday, and any way you slice it, it’s an incredible value for that set of features.

Want to upsize to the 65"? It’s also on sale for $930, though that’s only about a $20 discount, and we’ve seen it go as low as $900, albeit very briefly.

Logitech’s Harmony Elite is basically the grand poobah of TV remotes, with the ability to control up to 15 different devices, a capacitive touchscreen, the ability to build programs that control multiple devices with one touch, and a lot more.

My favorite feature though? The included Harmony Hub that turns your smartphones, Echoes, and Google Homes into fully-functional remotes; perfect for when you’ve inevitably lost the actual remote in the couch cushions. $230's a pretty penny, but it’s the best price we’ve ever seen by $10, and deals on this usually only go as low as $220.

$10 is about what you’d expect to pay for a 4-port USB charging hub, but this Aukey model also comes with two AC outlets, so your lamps and laptops don’t have to go hungry.

Mechanical keyboards are trendy these days, but there are still shockingly few wireless options. The Logitech G613 is one few you can buy with both built-in Bluetooth and a USB wireless dongle, and its quiet Romer-G switches will feel great to type on, but are quiet enough to use in an open office. On the left side of the board, you’ll also find six programmable keys where you can set up your own macros.

$65 is the best price ever, so if you’re still typing on the terrible keyboard that came with your computer, or the one your company provided you, this is a fantastic deal.

Giant plugs that cover up half the outlets on your power strip should be outlawed, but until that day arrives, these short extension cords will have to do. $17 gets you a pack of 10, which should be enough for even the most advanced home theater setups.

The deal doesn’t require a promo code this time around, but today’s price is about $2-$5 less than the usual going rate for this set, and a match for the last deal we posted.

The Anker PowerCore Fusion is one of our biggest sellers ever, because it combines a USB wall charger and a portable battery pack into a single product. Now, RAVPower has their own alternative with a slightly larger 6700mAh battery inside, and you can grab it for just $22 with promo code KINJAQFF.

They sent me one to check out, and despite the larger battery inside, it’s barely bigger or heavier than the Anker, and would make a great holiday stocking stuffer.

With its 24 hour battery life, impressive bass, and crystal clear sound quality, the Anker SoundCore has long been our readers’ favorite affordable Bluetooth speaker, and its water-resistant successor is down to $30 today, or $10 less than usual.

The SoundCore 2 still includes dual drivers and that amazing 24 hour battery; the only real differences are a slightly tweaked design and the aforementioned water resistance. That means you can take it to the pool, the beach, or even the shower without fear.

Samsung’s U3-rated microSD cards are some of the fastest and most popular options out there—I have the 128GB model in my own Nintendo Switch—and all four sizes are down to all-time low prices today on Amazon.

The 32GB card is down to a laughably cheap $6, the 64GB just dropped to $11, and the 128GB went from $25 to $20.

If you need extra space for your action cam, smartphone, tablet, Switch, or anything else, these are extremely fast cards, and extremely good deals.

VPNs have been in the news, and whether you want to get around video geoblocks, circumvent proxy filters, or just keep prying eyes out of your browsing data while using sketchy public Wi-Fi, reader-favorite Private Internet Access has a deal to fit your needs.

Private Internet Access doesn’t do much in the way of discounting, but they offer exclusive pricing and packages just for our readers that you won’t find anywhere else. Here are your options, and what you’d pay if you bought the same plan elsewhere:

These deals are only for our readers, but we aren’t sure how long they’ll be available, so go ahead and sign up while you can.

BEST HOME DEALS

Amazon’s run a few gift-friendly tool sales for the holidays, but today’s is specifically about stocking stuffers. Everything in the sale is physically (fairly) small, and on sale for under $45.

I suspect the most popular deals here will be the Gerber knives and multitools, because those are always the most popular gifts, but the $7 magnetic wristband is a no-brainer, the $17 Makita drill bit set is a great deal, and you can even put a handheld circular saw in your giftee’s stocking for $40. I bet they didn’t see that coming!

Just remember that all of these deals are only available today, or until sold out.

Stanley drinkware is ostensibly designed for camping, but that trademark hammertone green will look great on your desk at work too (unless it’s the flask, maybe keep that in a drawer).

Today’s last minute gift Gold Box contains all sorts of Stanley drinking vessels and more, from coffee bottles, to insulated pints, to food jars, to cookware sets. You can even score the famous shots + flask gift set for just $17, complete with a flask, four steel shot glasses, and even a hammertone green shot glass carrying container.

Just don’t let these deals cool off: they’re only available today, and the best of them could sell out early.

Power Crane Single Person Furniture Moving Kit | $20 via KINJACRANE | Daily Steals

How much would you pay for superpowers? Does $20 seem fair? Because that’s what it’ll cost you (via code KINJACRANE) to procure the Power Crane Single Person Furniture Moving Kit, which grants you the ability to raise and move up to 330 lbs. without help. It includes a jack, risers, dollies, and the satisfaction of saying “I told you so” to anybody who claims it’s impossible for one human to rearrange furniture alone.

For some, a humidifier in winter isn’t an option — it’s a necessity. (I swear, every night I forget to turn mine on, I wake up with a scarily dry throat and parched skin.) At $34 with promo code KINJAY77, this TaoTronics Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier is an affordable, yet reliable option for adding some moisture to your air.

It’s ultra quiet and has a very helpful Sleep Mode option for the display, so it won’t disturb your sleep while it does its job. Plus, it’s not mammoth in size, but just big enough to last through the night, and through the day, too, if you’ve got a full tank. Get one — or several — for your home and/or office and finally breathe a big sigh of relief.

All-inclusive resorts aren’t going to cross anything new off your bucket list, put you in unfamiliar situations, or really challenge you in any way. These are all important aspects of traveling, but not every vacation has to be an adventure. Sometimes, a trip where you pay one price to be pampered with a beach, a nice room, and all the food and booze you can fit in your stomach is exactly what the doctor ordered.

For a limited time, Vacation Express is offering a variety of all inclusive Jamaica packages starting at $499, including your hotel and roundtrip air. Prices vary by departure city, the length of your trip, and your hotel of choice, but they’re generally less than you’d pay building the trip a la carte, and you don’t have to worry about any of the details.

There’s never a bad day to buy a grill, but today is an especially good one since Home Depot has marked down grills ranging from portable tabletop models to 6-burner behemoths. Charocoal, gas, or pellet? Stainless steel or ceramic? Smoker or griddle? Whatever your preferences, they’re included in the sale. Some items have already sold out, though, so I’d shop quick, before the selection is reduced to embers.

If you like wine, but not enough to get a subscription for it, this deal was designed for you. The Drop, an online wine club that makes and sells its own canned wine, is offering free shipping on all wine through the end of the year. That’s a savings of around $20, depending on what you order, and since each can holds 1.7 glasses (or 1/3 of a bottle), it might be smart to stock up for your New Year’s festivities.

And if you take this opportunity to try out the service and decide you like it? The option to subscribe later is always there.

If you thought we were done with the holiday Instant Pot deals, think again! Today only, Amazon’s knocked the highly-rated Instant Pot DUO Plus 8 qt. down to an all-time low $90, which is a full $70 less than usual.

If you’re worried that you won’t get a ton of use out of this thing, note that in addition to standard pressure cooking, which can cook food in a fraction of the time of other methods, this is also our readers’ favorite slow cooker, and one of their favorite rice cookers too. Hell, I’ve even used mine to create creamy risotto with basically no stirring.

What are your favorite Instant Pot recipes? Drop them into the comments below.

As a person who has sent in many, many rounds of cupcakes and other classroom treats for birthdays and holidays, I know I’ve spent a small fortune on cupcake liners. I can’t argue the fact that they’re wasteful and frivolous, but they also look festive and save me cleanup time.

What I should do — and you too, if you bake at all — is invest in some of these AmazonBasics Reusable Silicone Baking Cups, currently at an all-time price low. (The 24-pack is technically a better deal, but if you absolutely want no more than 12, that set has never been cheaper either.)

The downside: They’re add-on items. The upside: You could order enough to hit the $25 minimum and literally never have to think about buying baking cups again.

August’s third generation Smart Lock lets you lock and unlock your door from using your phone, and you can get the silver model for just $100 today, just a dollar more than we saw on Black Friday.

Assuming you have your phone with you whenever you leave the house, an August Smart Lock-installed door will auto lock behind you and unlock as you approach. It’s especially useful because you don’t have to necessarily be home to grant or restrict access to people like dog walkers, maintenance workers, or other people who need to come into your house; just send them a guest key with the August app. And since it integrates with your existing deadbolt, you can continue using a physical key as well, if your phone ever dies.

Unlike previous August locks, this one doesn’t have Wi-Fi built in—it uses Bluetooth to talk to your phone—but you can add a Wi-Fi hub to your router to access it over the internet from anywhere.

This Dremel set was $73 on Prime Day—Prime Day!—and at the time, I called it one of the best Dremel deals I’d ever seen. And I’ve seen many!

Well, with apologies to everyone who bought it that day, it’s now a whole $3 cheaper. Today and Black Friday (when it was also $70) are the only two times it’s dropped below $109 since that Prime Day deal, so if you don’t have the versatile rotary tool, this is the only excuse you need.

What makes the deal so great, beyond the size of the price drop? This particular set one comes with a 160 piece accessory kit and a flex shaft that lets you use your Dremel in awkward or hard-to-reach places.

Thanks to today’s Amazon’s Gold Box, you’ll never need to buy another notebook or pen again. These Rocketbook Everlast Reusable Notebooks contain 36 pages, all of which are completely erasable when used with Pilot Frixion pens. But just because you’ve wiped your notes away, that doesn’t mean all your info is lost forever; with the help of Rocketbook’s app, your notes can be easily beamed into your smartphone and added to your favorite cloud-based app.

Right now, packs of two notebooks, along with three pens, are just $45, which is barely anything when you think about how much money you’ll save on paper for the rest of your life, not to mention how many trees will get a second chance at life.

I’ve had the Storkcraft Bowback Glider and Ottoman for nearly 7 years, and we still use it regularly for storytime, so I feel pretty comfortable saying that it’s sturdy and holds up to heavy use. I can’t count the number of nights I spent in it rocking my babies to sleep, and I need to stop talking about it now because I’m about to start crying.

If you’re at the beginning of your parenting journey or just in the market for a good bedtime story reading chair to use with kids, I recommend this one. The arms have pockets for favorite books, and upholstery has held up to multiple rounds of marker removal in our house. It’s even comfortable enough to sleep in during pregnancy, and that alone makes it worth every penny.

Coolers are super useful, but they’re not much to look at. They’re also not typically on your radar in the middle of winter, but ignoring deals when they come along is a rookie mistake.

This Keter 7.5-Gallon Cool Bar Patio Beverage Cooler Table is just $56 today, and it’s exactly what you need for all those summer evenings outdoors in the not-so-distant future. (There are also more colorful mod options, if you like your furniture/drink spots to make a statement.)

To really maximize its usefulness, you could use the interior space for storage in between cooler moments. But I somehow doubt that you’d be impressed with three functions if you weren’t already satisfied with the first two.

If the image you’ve been hoping to craft for yourself is “I totally have my life together, and also I’m really good at parties,” a proper bar cart is one of your household must-haves. This Better Homes & Gardens Fitzgerald 2-Tier Serving Cart has all the style you seek, and today it’s just $64.

Even if you’re not able to have it flawlessly stocked in time for your next shindig, just the fact that you’re started the process will be worth something. All decent acts of curation take time, and you can always fill the empty space with pretty knick knacks or drink accessories in the interim.

As much as your dog prefers to smell like butt, he’s probably overdue for a bath. In fact, he’s probably been due for a long time now. But if you live in an apartment and don’t have easy access to a hose, a regular shower or sink isn’t really the right tool for the job. At least not without the Waterpik Pet Wand.

The Pet Wand attaches to any standard sink faucet, shower, or garden hose (though it’s probably overkill if you have one of those), and transforms it into a professional pet washing tool. Its WaterComb spray mode delivers high pressure (this is a Waterpik, after all) streams of water to penetrate fur, but with a flick of the thumb wheel, you can switch to a narrower spray for sensitive areas.

If your dog doesn’t like baths, this won’t do anything to prevent that devastating look of betrayal he gives you, but at least it’ll help bath time end sooner. Today’s $30 list price is an all-time low, but promo code 5PET18 will save you an extra $5 at checkout.

An organized garage is a happy garage, and you can’t be organized if you don’t even have proper places to put your stuff. In the case of tools, the Husky 31" 1-Drawer Utility Cart is a smart storage choice.

The 300-lb. capacity and bottom shelf mean it can accommodate even your big, heavy tools, and the locking drawer and lid keep dangerous objects out of the wrong hands. Between the wheels and the extendable side table, it also provides a mobile workspace, because jobs need doing even when they’re not conveniently located.

It’s 2018, and your vacuum shouldn’t have a cord anymore. Dyson’s cordless V-series stick vacs have long been go-to cordless options, but the powerful new V10 is arguably the first that can truly, completely replace a corded vacuum, at least for smaller homes.

Big discounts on the Animal version have been few and far between, but today only, it’s back down to the same $380 that we saw around Cyber Monday. Not bad considering it debuted at $600 just nine short months ago.

This model doesn’t include the soft cleaning head of the Absolute version, but it has a larger bin and more accessories than the entry level Motorhead, which is only a few bucks cheaper right now. All of the V10s include the same 60 minute (!!) battery, and the same powerful motor.

There are many, many things wrong with the behavior depicted in Mad Men, and I don’t have the energy to begin to get into all of it. Even the way the execs’ offices are set up with bar carts could look at lot more like functional alcoholism than professional hospitality from many angles, but let’s take the charitable view here. Always being able to offer visitors a drink is courteous, and a nice decanter set looks good in almost any environment.

This Godinger Globe Whiskey Decanter Set drops to just $42 via code 6GEHT6Y3, so today might be the day that you lean a little towards the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce way of doing things. (But just a little, and only the good parts.) It has fancy etching and a ship inside the bottle, so it’ll look like you paid a lot more than you did. I’m not saying lie about the cost, but letting people believe what they wanted got Don Draper pretty far in life.

We saw a bunch of Anova sous-vide deals around Black Friday, but today’s deal on the new Nano model is actually better than any we’d previously seen.

At 750W, it’s nearly as powerful as the old models, and still includes Bluetooth (but sadly not Wi-Fi), but it’ll take up a lot less space in your kitchen cabinets. In fact, this one can fit inside most drawers. Get it for an all-time low $61 on Amazon right now after clipping the 5% coupon. The $64 list price is the same as Black Friday, but the coupon is new.

Lifehacker has a great explainer on sous vide cooking for you to check out, but the basic idea is that you seal the food in a bags, and then cook it in precisely heated water over a longer period of time. It sounds weird, kind of like food hot tub, but the result is food that’s cooked to the exact right temperature all the way through.

Once you’ve gotten used to keeping a multi-tool on you, it can be hard to go without. But the TSA doesn’t care about that, and good luck getting your Leatherman on a plane.

The Gerber Shard isn’t as fancy as a lot of mini tool gizmos, but it’s airline approved and it fits on your keychain — and it’s $5. It features three drivers, a wire stripper, a pry bar, and a bottle opener, so maybe it’s just enough to keep you from having handy gadget withdrawals in “no weapons” situations. (It’s also a nice little gift for people that don’t really need or want anything else.)

Firstleaf is an online wine club that learns your preferences, offers tons of options, and most importantly, saves you money compared to buying from the store. It’s a solid deal any time, but it’s even better for our readers from now through the holidays.

Every new Firstleaf member gets an introductory delivery with three bottles of wine for just $15, plus $5 shipping. Every box thereafter includes six bottles for $80, plus $10 shipping. If you use this link and promo code Kinja when you sign up though, you’ll get free shipping on every box for your entire first year. That’ll save you over $100 if you get a new box every month.

BEST CLOTHING & LIFESTYLE DEALS

Cole Haan makes some seriously great shoes for any occasion, and if you’re looking for a new pair but don’t want to spend the normal asking price, they’re taking an extra 30% off their sale section with the code SAVE. We expect that this will be their last big sale before Christmas.

Finally get a pair of ZERØGRAND’s (or the newer 2.ZERØGRAND’s), waterproof boots for the winter, or even the new Stitchlite Wool chukkas and oxfords, which were added to the sale section recently.

If you’re planning to strap a plank or two to your feet and slide down a snowy hill at any point this season, you probably need some gear from this Zionor Gold Box. The snow sports brand is offering a colorful spectrum of snow goggles for $20 to $13, along with several $39 helmets (for the love of God, please wear a helmet when you’re hurtling down a mountain at high speeds). Gear up now, since this sale is today only, and godspeed, snow daredevils.

Run — don’t walk — to take advantage of this Adidas Flash Event at Nordstrom Rack before the holiday shipping deadlines hit. Right now, everything from new kicks, gloves and backpacks to apparel for men, women, and kids are on sale, so you’ll definitely find the last few things you need take you over the finish line when it comes to your gift list.

You know why your procrastinate with your shopping year after year? Because you keep being rewarded for your behavior, so why would you do anything differently? This time it’s Bonobos reinforcing your decisions with 30% off sitewide via LOVEMYSELF and free shipping in time for Christmas. But you can’t put off using it — it’s only good through Wednesday. Maybe you’ll learn yet.

As a deal enthusiast, I basically live in the clearance section of all retailers. So when J.Crew Factory decides to take an extra 60% off clearance items via code YAYCLEARANCE, I get pretty excited. (Most of the other items are also marked 50% to 60% off, but I like my savings stacked.)

There are several pieces for under $10, and J.Crew Rewards members get free shipping. (It costs nothing to join.) Will you get your order in time for Christmas? Almost definitely not, but luckily, clothes are something you need year-round.

Among the items on this year’s list of Oprah’s Favorite Things is a $78 pair of mittens. I’m sure they’re wonderful mittens, soft mittens, the best mittens, but I’m also sure that you have to have Oprah money to drop that kind of cash on socks for your hands.

But what Oprah says goes, and Oprah says you need faux fur mittens. So I guess you should pick up a pair of these $7 Wild Fable Women’s Faux Fur Mittens from Target in solid or animal print. If you choose black, LBR — no one is going to be able to tell the difference between these and the Oprah-recommended brand. In fact, based on the reviews, these might even be better.

Sometimes procrastination pays off — at least, that’s Zappos’s theory. The shoe retailer is rewarding all those who waited until the last minute to make holiday gift purchases with a $20 code to use on a future purchase after spending $100 or more.

There’s only one code per customer, and the promotion is today only, but otherwise, there are surprisingly few limitations on this sale — the code should be delivered to your inbox within three days of making your purchase. So basically, just buy a loved one a pair of Uggs, and get $20 to spend on yourself later.

REI is making the holidays even happier with a festive sale that is positively jolly. Starting today and continuing through December 24, the outdoor retailer is taking up to 40% off select clearance items (that’s the same as their Cyber Monday sale, by the way).

Outdoor adventurers can seek deals on women’s and men’s apparel, along with a range of gear for camping, hiking, and all things snow. And you can bet a few of your favorite brands, like Columbia, The North Face, and Patagonia, will be marked down, too. Take advantage of this sale now, and let the knowledge that you saved a bundle give you a warm feeling inside when you head outside in your new gear this winter.

A new season calls for a wardrobe update. Now that we’re hurdling into winter, LOFT wants to give you your pick of their new arrivals, and take 50% off your purchase to boot. All your wear-to-work essentials are up for grabs, including sweaters, blouses, and pants, plus a slew of accessories and jewelry. Just use promo code HOLIDAY and outfit yourself in a bunch of new stuff, now.

Whether you wear TOMS for the ease of never having to tie your shoes, or just dig the style, this is one deal you should take advantage of. You can save an extra 30% on select best-selling styles with promo code GIFTS. Dozens of styles for men, women, and kids are included, so you should have no trouble finding a new pair to love.

I recently waxed poetic about my love for the Dagne Dover Landon Carryall, and — whaddya know? — it’s now 20% off. Just use promo code TRAVEL20 to get one (or four, one in each size) and experience the freewheeling delight that a many-pocketed, neoprene-nylon bag can bring forth.

Also 20% off (with the same promo code) are a bunch of other Dagne Dover items that are ideal for travel, including totes, wallets, backpacks, pouches, and even a fanny pack. All of these bags would make packing up and getting out of town for the holidays that much easier, not to mention, they’d be nice gifts for a frequent traveler on your list.

It’s unusual for jeans enter the fold in Everlane’s Choose What You Pay section, but today, there they are. And not one, but two women’s styles are up for grabs at 30% and 20% off, respectively: The Modern Boyfriend Jean, a relaxed-fit style available in three washes (light blue, mid blue, and black) for $48; and The Mid-Rise Skinny Jean, a cropped slim-cut jean with a 9-inch rise going for $55. Don’t lose out on this rare chance pick up some quality Everlane denim at a discount.

If you’ve got a particularly eco-conscious person on your list this year (or if you’re making an effort to look out for the Earth yourself), anything from ultra sustainable brand United By Blue makes some highly gift-able items. And it seems United By Blue is looking out for both the environment and your wallet through Monday with their current sale. Right now, the outdoor retailer is taking 15% off sitewide with promo code GIFTSFORGOOD, not to mention an extra 30% off sale items. Responsibly-made apparel, camping gear, home decor, and bags for all!

REI is making the holidays even happier with a festive clearance sale that is positively jolly. Starting today and continuing through December 16, the outdoor retailer is taking up to 50% off select clearance items (that’s better than their Cyber Monday sale, which only saw up to 40% savings, by the way).

Outdoor adventurers can seek deals on women’s and men’s apparel, along with a range of gear for camping, hiking, and all things snow. And you cana bet a few of your favorite brands, like Columbia, The North Face, and Patagonia, will be marked down, too. Take advantage of this sale now, and let the knowledge that you saved a bundle give you a warm feeling inside when you head outside in your new gear this winter.

We’ve got a sale that will make you get out your wallet...and ditch it for something newer and cuter. The pocketbook purveyors at Kate Spade want to hook you up with new handbags, wallets, clothing, jewelry and other accessories this holiday season, so they’re taking an extra 30% off already marked down sale items. Use promo code EXTRAEXTRA to take advantage of this designer deal. And, just saying, handbags and accessories make great gifts.

While most eye masks try to provide as little compression as possible, IMAK’s compression pain relief mask lightly presses around your eyes by design to help with headaches, migraines, and sinus pain. You can even throw it in the freezer for cooling (but not too cooling) relief when you go to bed.

$9 is the best price Amazon’s listed all year, and it makes a great stocking stuffer for light sleepers and headache sufferers.

If you’re having trouble sleeping, suffering from anxiety, or having trouble sleeping because you’re suffering from anxiety, Sunday Scaries CBD gummies could help. Jolie Kerr shared her thoughts on them for The Inventory, and now, our readers can save 15% for the always-stressful holiday season with promo code kinja15.

That applies to the regular gummies, the vegan versions, and the pure CBD tincture, with extra savings available if you buy in bulk, so your wallet can rest as easy as you will.

BEST MEDIA DEALS

Breaking Bad is the best show ever created—don’t @ me, The Wire fans, that least season was a farce and you know it—and the complete Blu-ray and digital box set is down to $66 on Amazon today, the first time we’ve seen this new set (released in February) drop below $80. It’s only available today though, so grab it before it gets sent on a trip to Belize.

If you’ve always had big plans to become bilingual (though why stop at two?), today’s Amazon Gold Box has a lesson to teach you. There are two big Rosetta Stone deals up for grabs today that will have you speaking fluently in no time.

First, for $118, students of French, German, Italian, Spanish, or English can get their hands on a Rosetta Stone Bonus Pack. The pack includes access a lifetime software download so you can practice your Spanish indefinitely on your desktop offline, and a 24-month subscription mobile that syncs your progress on all your platforms, plus a Barron’s Grammar Guide and Dictionary for good measure.

Also up for grabs is a Rosetta Stone Lifetime Membership, down to just $175. Burgeoning linguists can select their language of choice, and enjoy a $25 Amazon gift card, because why not? Now that’s a good deal no matter how you say it.

An iTunes gift card is a great last minute gift idea for any iPhone or Mac owner, and for the next few hours (or until sold out), you can get a $50 card on Amazon for just $42.50. And unlike most iTunes gift card deals, you’ll actually get a physical card here, which would normally be irritating, but for gift-giving season, it’s a virtue. The card is valid on apps, Apple Music subscriptions, movies, iCloud storage, and more, so it’ll definitely get used.

Today, Amazon is offering big discounts on a dozen anime titles on Blu-ray, including Parts 3, 4, and 5 of Dragon Ball Super, Outlaw Star: The Complete Series, and Yuri!!! on Ice: The Complete Series.

What kind of person still reads physical books? The best kind of person, IMO. If you’re one of them, this is probably your favorite time of year, because you know that Amazon always drops an awesome coupon. Just like Black Friday, the discount this time around is $5 off $20 via code GIFTBOOK18, and it works on pretty much every single hardcover and paperback sold and shipped by Amazon.

The only downside is that it’s limited to a single use per customer, so you may have a hard time deciding what to buy.


BEST GAMING DEALS

Pandemic Legacy is a co-op board game that raises the stakes by adding permanent (actually permanent) changes to the board as you play, and it’s amazing. The second season also happens to be marked down to $50 on Amazon today, which isn’t an all-time low, but it is about $10-$15 less than usual, if you need a great gift idea for any board game geek.

You don’t need to play the first season before tackling the second, but some of your decisions and outcomes from that game can carry over to season two (likewise season two to season three, when it comes out). You can even ignore the permanent “Legacy” components for your first few rounds, and just use this to play regular Pandemic to get used to the rules.

I know, I know, gaming chairs look ridiculous. But whether you sit for extended play sessions, or just spend a lot of time at your desk for work, they really can be worth the cost and potential embarrassment for the comfort they provide.

AKRacing is one of the biggest names in the space, and they teamed up with Massdrop to design the Aero, a gaming chair based on the $500 AKRacing Premium chair, but available to Massdrop shoppers for just $280 for a limited time. While it lacks the high side walls on the seat of the Premium, it retains the more expensive chair’s tilt and lock feature, its adjustable pillows, as well as its 4D arm rests that can move up, down, and even side to side. It’s even accented with pieces of perforated Alcantera, while the Premium is just PU leather throughout. It won’t make a huge difference, but I do think it looks nice.

The Switch Pro controller isn’t just one of the best ways to control your Nintendo Switch, it might be one of the best gamepads ever made, period. If you have a Switch and still haven’t picked one up, $56 is below the price we were seeing on Black Friday. It’s not a huge discount, but we rarely see it drop below $64.

Let’s do some quick math. Those weird animal ride-ons at the mall cost $20 per hour, so 15 rides would equal $300. If you believe your child could or would spend that much time on a giant motorized rolling creature, the smart financial decision might be to buy a Kid Trax 12-Volt Rideamals Scout Pony Interactive Ride-On for $298 and keep it at home for endless use.

Scout has functions the mall animals don’t — it reacts to being brushed and “fed” and can even dance. With a library of sounds, movements, and music, it also feels friendlier than its counterparts in retail captivity. Somewhere in there is a message about the delicate balance between man and nature, wrapped in the scratchy blanket of capitalism.

Kids love tiny things. Our longest-serving parenting expert, Corey Foster, says a Calico Critters house is the most used non-electronic/non-LEGO toy in his home. To me, those sound like reasons to check out the Calico Critters Red Roof Country Home Gift Set, which comes with two figures and furniture and accessories.

The lights actually work, and you can reconfigure it with the Cozy Cottage to build a 3-story layout. But the real appeal is in the charming little furnishings, like probably the world’s smallest toast and jam, and the miniature blender and crock pot. Oh, and the fact that it’s never been cheaper.

I’m not a good enough shot to have an opinion on whether it matters what kind of darts you put into your NERF blaster. I have to imagine that the official NERF-produced ones would fly a little truer, but of course that’s exactly what they would want me to think.

If you’ve done the research and come to the same conclusion (or just like to err on the side of caution), you should know that Walmart has a NERF N-Strike Elite 250-Dart Pack on sale today for just $10. That’s close to what you’d pay for generic ammo! Will they suddenly make you a NERF battle all-star with perfect aim and timing? Probably not. But maybe. Anything’s possible.

I thought I was done Christmas shopping, but then this deal popped up, and I am weak and couldn’t resist it. Now I’m sharing it with you so you can test your own willpower. Remember the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Cleaning and Laundry Play Set that was advertised in Target’s Black Friday ad for $80? Today you can get it for $20.

After you add the 50% off Cartwheel offer to your accous

These Tiny Arcade arcade games are no less cute than when they came out last year, but they are a fair bit cheaper at just $12 or $13 today. I got a few as a gift last year, and now they’re the coolest ornaments on my Christmas tree.

Each “cabinet” has the full, playable version of its respective arcade game, with real (tiny) buttons and joy sticks, and even authentic audio.

If you missed out on the $199 Xbox One S bundles on Black Friday, Walmart just put a bunch of them back on sale. They all include a 1TB hard drive and a bundled game, so you’ll have everything you need to get started on Christmas morning. Well, nearly everything.

Depending on your family’s sense of humor, Cards Against Humanity is either the best game to play over the holidays, or the worst, but you’ll never know until you try and Grandma doesn’t speak to you for three days.

The game almost never goes on sale, but Walmart is currently tossing in a free $10 e-gift card when you order the starter set for its usual $25. You can spend that $10 on an expansion pack, or anything else Walmart sells.

One of the most fun memories my family has made in recent years was a giant NERF battle on the lawn. I’m talking children, my adult siblings and their spouses, my parents — all of us pummeling each other with foam darts and then pausing to collect them so we could go again.

I kind of think I want to make it a holiday tradition, and you can, too, if you stock up on gear during Amazon’s NERF sale. Dart refills start at $4, and there are blasters from $6 (but you’ll probably want one of the bigger ones if you’re going to stand a chance in the war). It’ll give you a whole new perspective on what an “old-fashioned family Christmas” can be.

Board games are always a solid choice for holiday break entertainment. Even the most screen-addicted will need a break from the laptop/phone/TV eventually, and games are pretty excellent as far as encouraging human interaction and making memories.

Walmart has a bunch on sale today, and they range from timeless classics like Monopoly to chaotic kid faves like Pie Face Cannon. Relatively highbrow options like Trivial Pursuit are even in the mix. You’ll be happy you have them on hand once the dreary post-Christmas winter starts to drag on, and on, and on...

I know Super Smash Bros. is The Thing To Play right now, but if you have a Switch, or are giving one as a gift this year, these three games are just as essential, and they hardly ever get this cheap.

Even at its usual $12 per month, Humble Monthly is an amazing deal for PC gamers, but for a limited time, you can pre-pay for a whole year for $99. That deal is valid whether you’re an existing subscriber or a new one, so what are you waiting for?

This month’s early access games are Just Cause 3 XXL, Wizard of Legend, and Project Cars 2, and as always, more mystery games will unlock at the end of the month. Every game you get is yours to keep forever, whether you remain a subscriber or not.

When you’re too young to drive a car, zooming around on an electric toy of some kind is as rad as it gets. Actually, normal scooters are pretty fun, too.

But there’s no need to choose sides here — Walmart’s got traditional scooters, hoverboards, powered 2-wheelers, and various other awesome vehicles starting at just $15, so everyone’s a winner. Unless you’re talking about racing, in which case whoever’s on the Razor Metro probably has an edge.
