Best Tech Deals
The holidays are the perfect time to make some memories with family and friends, so be sure to document them on film too. Amazon is making that task easier with a Gold Box filled with discounted camera accessories. Gear up with mounts, tripod, micro SD cards and SD card readers, a few specifically for GoPro. There’s even a selfie stick for the burgeoning influencers. It’s definitely a deal to remember.
The Razer Basilisk combines the customization options and high-end components of a gaming mouse with the ergonomics and (mostly) understated design of the best work mice out there, making it one of the best options for keyboard jockeys who also like to have fun.
Normally priced around $55-$70, you can still grab it for its holiday price of $50, if you hurry.
More than once this month, I’ve found myself thinking, “Man, I really need to order some more batteries.” My need for power just surges at Christmastime.

Amazon has heard my plea and discounted this Energizer Rechargeable AA Batteries 8-Pack. You can get them for $13 when you clip the $1 coupon on the page, and even less if you choose to order via Subscribe & Save. Either way, it’s a solid deal on name-brand rechargeable batteries.
Blink Outdoor Home Security 2 Camera System | $138 | Amazon | Additional savings available on multipacks. Echo Dot drops to free if added to cart.
Amazon’s Black Friday deals on Blink indoor and outdoor home security camera systems are back, and better than ever for the last minute Christmas push. Kits start at $67 for an indoor camera, or $138 for a kit with two outdoor cameras, so if you’ve ever been curious what your pets do at home while you’re gone all day, now you can afford to find out. Plus, if you add an Echo Dot to your cart at the same time, you’ll get it for free!
Other potential uses: Keeping footage of mundane conversations so you can win the next argument about whether or not you said a certain thing; a motion-detecting alarm system; bringing truth to the claim that Santa “sees you when you’re sleeping” and “knows when you’re awake.”
Beats Powerbeats 3 Wireless Exercise Earbuds | $90 | Amazon
The latest Beats headphones contain Apple’s custom W1 chip, which means they pair to all of your Apple devices just as easily as AirPods (in addition to other devices through the standard Bluetooth hell-menus). So whether you want easy-pairing headphones that are great for exercise, or prefer larger on-ears, there’s a deal for you today.
Advertisement
$240 is a really solid price for the Solo3s, which usually sell for $300, and $90 is the best deals we’ve ever seen on the Powerbeats3s. In both cases, you even get to pick your favorite color, though it seems like some will arrive before Christmas, but others will not, so choose carefully.
Update: Back in stock. This won’t last long!
While it doesn’t support Alexa or AirPlay 2 like the newer Sonos One, the original Sonos Play:1 is still a terrific sounding speaker that can sync up with other Sonos products for multi-room audio. Normally $149, Sonos just put a batch of certified refurbs on sale for $119, matching the best price we’ve ever seen.
Advertisement
Every refurbished Sonos includes the standard one-year Sonos warranty and access to their support, so there’s really no downside in going this route, if you can find refurbs in stock. Every other time Sonos has offered this deal, it’s sold out quickly.
If you want to give the gift of a Tile Bluetooth gadget finder this Christmas, you should be sure to buy the one with a user-replaceable battery. Today’s $20 deal on the brand new Tile Mate isn’t as good as the $16 deal we saw earlier in the week, but it’s otherwise the best discount we’ve seen from the usual $25.
Wi-Fi range extenders can’t work miracles, but if there’s one spot in your house with spotty coverage, they can be a much cheaper solution than buying a new router. So at an all-time low $21, why not give this one a try? Just clip the $5 coupon to get the deal at checkout.
I have nothing but fond memories of the 90s, and I love everything about the styles from that era. (#sorrynotsorry) If you feel the same, the Impossible Project Polaroid 600 96 Cam Instant Camera, on sale for $152 at Nordstrom, deserves your attention.
Advertisement
Its totally fresh color scheme will remind you of the days when things were crunk or fly or jiggy rather than lit or turnt or on fleek, and as long as instant cameras refuse to die, you may as well have the raddest one on the block. Better yet, if you order before noon Friday, you can actually get it here in time for Christmas and give someone the most amazing gift ever.
If you got yourself a new TV on Black Friday (or even more recently), it’s cheaper than you might think to mount it to your wall. This highly rated Perlesmith mount can support TVs up to 55″, and it’s only $28 today with promo code EYB52OV7, complete with bonus accessories like a level, cord ties, and an HDMI cable.
If you ever want to watch TV, and loud movies in particular, without disturbing your neighbors, your kids, or your sleeping partner two feet away from you, you want a pair of RF headphones. Yes, not Bluetooth…RF.
Sennheiser makes some of the most popular and best-reviewed models out there, and their entry level RS 165s are on sale for $149 today on Amazon, the best price of the year. These don’t support virtual surround sound like the 175s, but they’ll still sound terrific, and once you get them set up, they’ll be perfectly synced up with the video on your TV, with none of the lag you can get with Bluetooth.

Needless to say, if your partner’s video games and explosion-y action movies keep you awake at night, this would be an amazing (if slightly passive aggressive) gift.
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.
Anker PowerLine+ II 6′ USB-A to USB-C Cable | $11 | Amazon | Promo code CABLE8463. Works on black and red
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.
Advertisement
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.
Anker Zolo Liberty True Wireless Headphones | $60 | Amazon | Promo code ZWSDZ2000
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.
Advertisement
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.
TCL 65R617 65″ TV | $930 | Walmart
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.
$12 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.
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.
Samsung U3 64GB MicroSD Card | $11 | Amazon
Samsung U3 128GB MicroSD Card | $20 | Amazon
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.
Advertisement
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.
Advertisement
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:
- One month for $6 | Usually $7
- One year for $35 | Usually $40
- Three years for $90 | Not offered to the general public at all
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
Dog parenting is a full-time job, and now, you can stay informed on what your fur babies are up to when you’re not around with this Furbo Dog Camera, back down to its Black Friday price of $135.
Advertisement
Not only will this gadget allow you to use your smartphone to look in on your canine kids when you’re not home via full HD camera with night vision, but it will also let you interact with them. Toss your good doggo a treat if you feel like he needs a snack, or scold him thanks to two-way audio when you catch him gnawing on your shoes again. You can even get push notifications when your dog barks. After all, they grow up so fast.
Especially during the bleak winter months, it feels good to have something green in your home. This set of five succulents is on sale for $13, and they don’t need much sunlight or water, giving them a solid chance of surviving the frigid months ahead. Plus, they make for nice plant children to nurture while all other flora is cold and dead outside.
Your car deserves a Christmas gift too, and while this Meguiar’s Wash and Wax kit won’t arrive until a day or two after the holiday, I don’t think she’ll mind. The kit includes Meguiar’s famous Gold Class car wash soap, various detail cleaners, wax, a foam applicator, a washing sponge, and a towel, all for just $22 today. That’s within a couple of bucks of an all-time low, so let’s burn some dust here and race over to Amazon before it sells out.
You might know it as nugget ice, or Sonic ice, or for you Texans out there, Buc-ees ice, but no matter what you call it, we all know it’s great. Now, there’s an expensive machine that can make it for you at home, but today, it’s $65 less expensive than usual.
…It’s still expensive, but damn that ice is good.
Internet-connected security cameras don’t have to set you back over $100; this model from Yi is packed with features, and only $32 today.
Advertisement
The Yi Dome can detect and track motion (even in the dark), or even the sound of babies crying, and send a push notification to your phone to check in. Built in microphones and speakers mean that you can even use the camera as a two-way intercom. Side note: What would you say to a robber in this scenario? I have no idea.
You can save your clips to a microSD card for free, or use Yi’s Cloud service as a remote DVR for added security. There are paid tiers available, but it’ll save six second clips of the last week’s worth of motion alerts for free, no monthly contract required.
It’s weird how dangerous food can be if you don’t handle it properly. How can something so delicious also be so deadly? This Joseph Joseph Index Plastic Cutting Board Set will help you keep your foods safely separated, with color coded boards for vegetables, raw fish, raw meat, and cooked items.
Advertisement
I especially like that they’re dishwasher safe, because what is even the point of containing germs if you’re going to have to scrub them away by hand anyway? (I mean, I know what the point is, but still.) The compact storage case is also a nice touch, but the very best part is that it’s on sale for an all-time low $24.
Oprah says the Philips Indoor Smoke-less Grill makes food taste like it was cooked over charcoal, despite using infrared heat. I can’t personally confirm this, but I do think it would be nice to have a grill you can use in the kitchen when it’s too cold outside to cook there.
Advertisement
Also appealing is the fact that you can just stick the grid in the dishwasher — something I can’t say about most traditional grills. For really thorough cleaning, it also comes with a ceramic scraper to use on the interior reflectors, which are responsible for its even, consistent heating.
I can’t say this grill will help you cook like Oprah, because she probably has people to do that for her. But it will give you a taste of the Oprah-adjacent lifestyle, maybe.
Whether or not you’ll be home for Christmas, your house could still probably use an upgrade or two. Wayfair is making it easier than ever to redecorate your space this season with their Last-Call Outlet sale. Take up to 75% off a range of home essentials, from mattresses and beddings basics to rugs and wall art. Shop now, or risk your ideal home existing only in your dreams.
If you need any last minute stocking stuffers (and couldn’t find what you were looking for in, uh, our big-ass stocking stuffer guide), Amazon’s currently running deals on dozens of products from AmazonBasics, spanning seemingly every product category imaginable.
We spot checked a lot of products, and while they aren’t all down to all-time low prices, everything we saw represented at least a decent discount. A few of our picks are below, but there are pages upon pages of deals, so you’ll want to head over to Amazon to see them all.
You know that song “We Need a Little Christmas,” about decorating for the holidays way too early? And how it specifically says it’s just a week after Thanksgiving? To our 2018 minds that’s ridiculous, but I suppose there was a time when you didn’t put up your tree and lights until well into December.
Advertisement
If you still live on that schedule, it’s relevant to your life that Home Depot has a bunch of holiday decorations on sale today. Wreaths, inflatables, projectors, and more are marked down, so you can finally put up the brightest string of lights you’ve ever seen and hang some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
String up these trendy Edison bulb string lights in your backyard and make Pinterest proud. This 49-foot strand is completely weatherproof, so you can leave them up year-round. Although not the best price we’ve seen on these, they normally sell for $50, but today you can light your space with them for $36 with promo code 3FK8HUTY.
Is there a better gift than a big-ass box of meat? I’m struggling to think of one. Butcher Box sells $135 e-gift cards that can be redeemed for the special holiday gift box of your giftee’s choice, and our readers can buy a card for just $120 right now with promo code KINJA.

You can check out the gift box options here, to get an idea of what your lucky giftee will be feasting on in January. You’re going to want to invite yourself over for dinner.
What’s better than earning stars with your Starbucks order? Earning Amazon credit, obviously (though you’ll still earn stars too, fear not). While supplies last, you can use promo code SBUX (or “Elsbucks,” as the baristas would write on that code’s cup) to get $5 in Amazon credit when you spend $25 on a digital Starbucks gift card.
Advertisement
You were going to spend that $25 at Starbucks anyway, or at the very least, you can give the gift card as a gift, and keep the credit for yourself (we won’t tell). This deal won’t even last as long as holiday cup season though, so gulp it down while you can.
The Claw claims to be the world’s smallest multitool, and there’s really no reason to doubt it. Roughly the same length as a penny, the little piece of titanium can open bottles and paint cans, turn screws, wedge open key rings, remove staples, and most critically of all, open up boxes that you ordered from Kinja Deals. Get it for $15 today (down from $22) with our exclusive promo code KINJADEALS.
AmazonBasics Reusable Silicone Baking Cups 24-Pack | $6 | Amazon
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.
Advertisement
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.
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.
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.
Advertisement
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.
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.
Advertisement
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.
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.
Advertisement
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.
Advertisement
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.

There’s never a bad time to save on Nike. Right now, Amazon is marking down a range of Nike activewear, along with accessories including bags, hats, and socks, so you can suit up for any athletic (or just lounging) you have in your future.
The holidays can be stressful, and you totally deserve to pamper yourself after we cross the finish line. If that sounds nice, but your bank account is still recovering from Christmas shopping, The Body Shop can help. They have a bunch of sale items starting at just $1, and everything ships for free.

There are tons of beauty items, creams, butters, scrubs, and more for under $5, so you can stock up without stressing about the cost. That would be counterproductive! The goal here is to unwind.
Maybelline Limited Edition Instant Glow-Up Fundle | $7 | Amazon
Maybelline Limited Edition Balm-y Day Fundle | $9 | Amazon
You know what makes a great “just because” present for your bestie/sister/other rad makeup-wearing person in your life? One of these cute Maybelline Fundles. (Most say they could still arrive in time for Christmas, but they’re also excellent gift closet stash items.)
Advertisement
There’s the $6 Maybelline Limited Edition Makeup Artist Fundle, which comes with a lip palette, liquid eyeliner, and a coloring book with crayons; the $7 Maybelline Limited Edition Instant Glow-Up Fundle, which has gold highlighter, liquid lipstick, and awesome rimless shades in a cute case; and the $9 Maybelline Limited Edition Balm-y Day Fundle, which includes lip balm, mascara, primer, and a beach towel. TBH, I might snag one of each.
A guy could build his entire wardrobe at Perry Ellis. They offer everything from tees to suits, and if it’s in their sale section today, it’s an extra 50% off at checkout. We’re talking $10 belts, $12 shirts, $25 pants. There’s no free shipping this time around, but it seems like it’s a $7 flat rate no matter how much you order, so load up!
Note: Discount shown at checkout.
Sneak some sneakers under the tree, thanks to Zappos current deal on Nike. Select Nike styles for men, women, and kids are 25% off, so the whole family can jingle bell rock some new shoes. And as long as you get your orders in by 1pm EST today, they’re guaranteed to be delivered by Christmas Eve for free, so sprint to checkout before this deal hops on its sleigh and rides away.

Now’s the time to take advantage of 30% off a selection of Timex watches for men and women, any of which would make for a nice gift. Plus, if you spend $75 or more, shipping is free. But you don’t have a minute to spare; shop now before time runs out on these deals.
The family that Converses together, stays together. Now put those family ties on display with Nordstrom Rack’s deals on Converse sneakers for men, women, and kids tied up in a bow. There are so many styles up for grabs, you’re sure to find one to suit each individuals’ personality, or dare we say, go for a coordinated matching look? Really, there’s no wrong way to wear this classic shoe.
If you have yet to use the extraordinarily shimmery, incredibly jiggly Farsáli Jelly Beam Illuminator, you are not only missing out on one of the beauty world’s favorite highlighters, but also a true ASMR-like experience. But don’t worry, there’s never been a better time than right now, to join this product’s cult following. Today, it’s just $20 — that’s half off its regular price — at Sephora in two colors: Rose Goals and Champagne Pink, both of which are So. Damn. Shiny.

This bouncy illuminator goes on like a gel, but sets like a super pigmented powder that’s not going anywhere. This deal, however, will not last quite as long, since this much beloved product is sure to sell out.
Well, this is an easy sale to get behind. Eddie Bauer is taking 50% off just about everything, and they’re doing it right as we’re hitting peak cold weather season. That’s impeccable timing considering they’re best known as the company that patented the first quilt down jacket. Shop men’s, women’s and even gear to stock up on everything you need for the winter, from base layers and flannels, to parkas and shells — it’s all* 50% off.
Note: Excludes sleeping bags, tents, and non Eddie Bauer-brand products.
May your days, and also your face, be merry and bright this holiday season with the help of Pat McGrath Labs. The cult-favorite cosmetics brand is taking 25% sitewide with code VIP25, so stock up on highly pigmented, mesmerizingly shimmery products for lips, eyes, and skin and shine brighter than a Christmas tree light at your next holiday party.
Clarks are a nice blend of comfort and style, but attempting to stock your entire closet with them could get a little expensive. Today, though, you can get two select pairs of men’s or women’s shoes for $99, which is one of the best deals you’ll see on Clarks. It includes boots, sandals, sneakers, and dress shoes, so you can shop for every occasion while enjoying major savings.
Mynt Shiatsu Massage Pillow with Heat | $33 via USM23515
Mynt Percussion Foot Massager | $140 via USM27106 and coupon on page
Mynt Shiatsu Foot Massager | $150 via USM26116 and coupon on page
I have a weird relationship with massages. I really, really like them, but I also spend the entire massage feeling lowkey guilty about the experience. Like, I don’t have that kind of free time to burn just lying around, and also it seems weird to me to coerce people into pampering me, even when it’s literally their chosen profession. I still have an unused massage gift certificate from Mother’s Day 2017. IDK, man. I have some issues to work on.
Advertisement
But until I finish doing that, I’ve found that letting robots do the work in my own home is mostly okay, and Mynt is discounting a handful of massaging contraptions for people like me. For your standard tense neck and shoulders, there’s the Mynt Shiatsu Massager with Heat for $42 or the Mynt Shiatsu Massage Pillow with Heat for $33 via code USM23515.
If your pain points are all located in your feet, there’s also the Mynt Percussion Foot Massager for $140 via code USM27106 and the on-page coupon on page, or the Mynt Shiatsu Foot Massager for $150 via USM26116 and an on-page coupon.
No machine can truly replicate the spa experience, of course, but like I said, that’s not totally a bad thing. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go tend to my achey shoulders, because that’s what I do. Yeah. I need these.
TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) massagers seem a bit like pseudoscience, but every time we post a deal on one of these things, we hear nothing but rave reviews. In fact, I use one occasionally after exercising, and it does seem to reduce muscle pain. At the very least, it feels cool.

Naipo has long made popular physical massage products, so an electrical alternative seems like a natural progression.
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 40% off already marked down sale items. Use promo code MOREEXTRA to take advantage of this designer deal.

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.

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
Hindsight is 20/20. For instance, resurrecting hordes of dinosaurs to populate a theme park is probably not a great idea. Now, don’t you make a big mistake by passing up this roaring deal on the five-film Jurassic World Movie Collection. Relive the movie magic of Jeff Golblum’s glistening abs and the most terrifying scene involving Jell-O in Hollywood history, not to mention the newer film iterations featuring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard running for her life in high heels. Oh, and also a lot of human-devouring dinosaurs. Be sure to take a bite out of the action before this sale goes extinct.
At $8 per month for Prime members, Amazon Music Unlimited was already more affordable than Spotify Premium or Apple Music, but Amazon’s sweetening the pot for new members by offering three months for just $1, for a limited time.
This deal is even available to non-Prime members, though it’ll renew at $10 per month instead of $8. But either way, $.33 per month for three months of streaming? Yes please.
Looking to add to your kids’ library, but not sure where to start? Behold: For $5, you can buy I Need a New Butt!, made famous by the same Scottish grandmother who made the world aware of The Wonky Donkey. (Which is also, by the way, $5.)

The butt book does contain, naturally, some humor that might be considered rude, but your kids will love that. You’ll probably get tired of reading it long before they do. The donkey, meanwhile, has an official song to go with it; what you choose to do with this information is up to you.
The Amazon exclusive 36-disc Dragon Ball Z: Seasons 1-9 Blu-Ray Collection is rarely in stock. And even more rarely is it on sale, as it as today for an all-time low $93, the first time we’ve ever seen it under $100. That comes out to just under 1.4 cents per minute of content, which is pretty cheap for entertainment. Can a deal be Super Saiyan? Because if so, this one definitely is.
This box set gets you every James Bond movie for $2.83 each. Some, in fairness, are not worth that much <cough> Die Another Day <cough>, But classics like Goldfinger, From Russia With Love, and Casino Royale are well worth watching and rewatching. Just note that this set doesn’t include digital copies, only Blu-rays, so you’ll need to shake up a vodka martini and enjoy them at home.
Patent prints are all the rage, but you can put an extra geeky spin on your decor with these sci-fi themed ones. Blueprints of BB-8 and the Starship Enterprise, profiles of the Harry Potter wands, a flat lay of Link’s weapons from The Legend of Zelda. You’ll find all of those and more in this MassDrop sale, and they’re all just $13 for an 18″x24″ print.
Best Gaming Deals
Overcooked 2 [Switch] | $19 | Amazon
Overcooked 2, the sequel to the friendship forging and/or destroying Overcooked, is discounted on Switch for the first time. Download the full game for just $19, down from the usual $25.
Protip: This same deal is available on the eShop, but when you redeem a code from Amazon, you’ll be credited for Nintendo Gold Coins as if you paid full price. If you buy from the eShop, you’re only credited for the price you actually paid.
Pokemon Power Action Pikachu | $20 | Amazon
Last week I gave up on hoping that Pokemon Power Action Pikachu would hit the $20 mark before Christmas, but now Amazon has made a fool of me and offered that exact deal. If you’re the type of person that enjoys the thrill of waiting until the super ultra last minute, this is just the kind of deal that makes it worthwhile. But wow, you cut it close on shipping.
Melissa & Doug toys make me wish I could still be a kid. They’re so perfect for pretend play that you can’t help but be overcome by imagination. Amazon has a lot of them on sale today, too, which makes them even more appealing. Between the puzzles, play food and appliances, dress-up goods, and dolls and accessories, there’s something to capture the interest of every kid (and adult).
LEGO Bricks on a Roll 60th Anniversary Set | $25 | Walmart
Do you find the pressure of specific creation stifling? Are you overwhelmed by the array of LEGOsets designed to build predefined castles or spaceships or bridges? LEGO totally gets that.

The LEGO Classic Bricks on a Roll 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Set, $25 at Walmart, features an assortment of wheels, bricks, and for some reason, eyes. Paired with the LEGO Classic Ocean’s Bottom Set ($19 at Amazon), it allows you to craft whatever weird and random objects your heart desires. A dog on a skateboard? Yep. An octopus chef? Sure! A double decker couch? Eh…
I get it, life is busy with preschoolers. I’m not judging you if your Christmas shopping still isn’t complete. But… you really need to get that done. Like, today.

The Fisher-Price Think & Learn Rocktopus, $38 at Walmart and Amazon, will still arrive in time to be part of the holiday haul, and it’s actually a pretty good gift — it was a Toy of the Year finalist and features math, music, and game modes. Just note that you’ll probably want to buy from Walmart if packaging is important to you; Amazon’s comes in a small brown box.
Some kids are just born entrepreneurs. I have one who loves anything to do with money, business, and selling, so I’m wondering if I should pick up this Osmo Pizza Co. Game to give us all a break from Monopoly and lemonade stand planning.
Advertisement
It comes with the Osmo iPhone Base, which allows kids to monitor real-time customer satisfaction levels and checks their work as far as order accuracy and giving correct change. (You can also buy it without the base if you already have one, but you do need it for the game to work as intended.)
Maybe it’ll give your children just the experience they need to become actual titans of industry. At worst, it’ll just give them something fun to do that sneakily reinforces their math skills.
Catan is often the first stop for board game players after they graduate from the Monopolies of the world, which is probably why it ranked so highly in our best board game Co-Op. While begging for bricks can get tedious after awhile, it’s still one of those games that’s easy enough for newbies to grasp quickly, which makes it great for holiday get-togethers.
If it’s still not in your board game cabinet, Walmart will sell it to you for $44 today, the same price as Amazon, but with a $20 gift card thrown in as an incentive. I’ll give you three sheep for the gift card!
If you missed out on all the Black Friday Switch deals, there’s still time to (sort of) save right now. Amazon’s tossing in a $25 Amazon.com gift card when you buy the console today, which’ll get you nearly halfway to the mandatory copy of Smash. Or the mandatory copy of Breath of the Wild. Or Mario Odyssey. Or Mario Kart. There are so many great Switch games, you guys!
Note: If one color sells out, try the other one.
Magformers are crazy cool. I’m drawn to them sheerly because of the bright colors, but they’re also neat for busy fidgeting (come on, they’re magnetic shapes), building imagined objects, and generally flexing those STEM muscles.

Amazon has a bunch on sale today, from basic sets to add-on accessories to deluxe kits with lights and remote controlled components. Whether you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas gift or just an activity to squirrel away for a rainy day, there are Magformers to fit the bill.
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.
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.
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…
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.
