TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS
TBH, one way I’ve managed to filter out the bullshit (and my LOUD upstairs neighbor) in all fo this is with a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. You can can treat yourself to a pair from TaoTronics, one of our readers’ favorite brands from the makers of RAVPower portable chargers, for just $30 right now using our exclusive promo code KINJAD2E. This deal lasts until May 5, so you’ve got time, but not THAT much time to think about it.
We’re in impulse buy territory at this price, and anyone dealing with noisy roommates while they’re trying to work will appreciate the perks of active noise cancelling, which differs from passive noise cancelling since it leverages sound to combat itself. If reviewers are to be believed, these are some of the best noise-cancelling headphones you can get on a budget. And with a battery life of up to 45 hours, your bops never have to stop.
Wireless chargers aren’t quite efficient enough to fully replace cable charging, but they can be incredibly convenient, and right now, you can grab one for as low as $8. That’s the going price for Anker’s PowerWave Pad, which offers up to 10W (limited to 7.5W on iPhones) to deliver the fastest possible charge you’re going to get. Just use coupon code KINJAW18 at checkout, and it’s all yours.
Between new devices and multi-cultured tech families, it’s easy to drown in the sea of USB cables you have to keep up with. Thankfully, AUKEY is addressing that need with cables like this 3-in-1 unit that combines USB-C, microUSB, and Lightning, all for a low $13 with promo code F75HJ6Z8. You can pair it with AUKEY’s 65W Power Delivery wall chargers, which we have exclusive codes for. The USB-A + USB-C model drops to $37 with promo code KINJA400, and there’s a dual USB-C model available for $44 with code KINJA500.
I don’t know about you guys, but I often forget to plug in my (somewhat ancient) iPhone 8 Plus almost every other night, despite the cord being right on my nightstand. I’m sure there are a couple of folks who do the same thing, and I’m here to tell you we don’t have to suffer anymore.
The Anker Powerwave charging pad and charging stand have come through at a low price of $20 with a promo code, so you can charge both iPhones and Androids at a pretty good speed. The best part is that you don’t have to take off your phone case to get a good charge! It can deliver power with cases up to 5mm thick, so don’t worry about your phone mysteriously falling and breaking its back on the cold, hard floor. I’d grab this duo before it is gone!
OK, so I don’t know when we decided that literally everything we own needed cameras, microphones, and screens, but if an alarm clock is on your list of smart upgrades, maybe you should get an Amazon Echo Spot with Alexa. It’s only $70 brand new in the box at Woot today, and you’ll have your pick between black and white. It’s still going for $130 almost everywhere else, and you know how fast these deals go, so don’t delay.
PS: You can also save $110 when buying two at Amazon using code ECHOSPOT2PK.
Working from home isn’t always an easy adjustment. That’s especially true if you’ve suddenly found yourself having to keep an eye on your kids while you feign attention on your third Zoom meeting of the day. It’s not a substitute for good parenting, and you still need to be diligent, but this Eufy Baby Monitor can make it a little easier to let your little one rest while you’re wrapping up your call, and it’s down to $80 on Amazon right now.
In need of more memory? Well, you’re in luck because for a cheap $9, you can get your hands on a 32GB microSD card. The card itself is shock-proof, temperature-proof, X-ray proof, as well as waterproof. It can make your smartphone or tablet go faster since it won’t be lagging in memory, and with the added adapter, you can easily transfer documents onto your computer. Grab it before it is gone.
Whether you’re working with a busted charging port or insert your USB cable is too much exercise throughout your day, a wireless charger can be useful and convenient. Just drop your smartphone, AirPods, and any other Qi-enabled device on and let RAVPower’s 10W pad trickle the juice back into that squeezed battery, which is usually $28, but is now just $10 when you use coupon code OMNVGZIE in the cart.
My phone is so big and bulky. Great for most things, like playing games or taking the 1,000th awesome pic of my cat, but it’s not as great if I’m out on a walk and have to pull the thing out of my pocket to check a notification. But that’s where a good smartwatch sale can help you (and me) out, and right now you can get the fifth generation of Fossil smartwatches for $200.
This lovely smartwatch will give you all the normal smartwatch features, like a notification checker and… telling you the time, but the Fossil smartwatch has a few extra bells and whistles, too. The watch also provides a heart-rate monitor, and the ability to use Google Assistant and Google Pay for just general life ease. Trust me, Google Pay can be a lifesaver if you lose your wallet.
This smartwatch may not be quite as intense as some others on the market, but it’ll get the job done, and more importantly, will do it for only $200 right now. Grab this deal before it’s gone!
If you have tons of electronics you need to plug in, look no further than the Anker PowerPort strip. For a decent $40, which is $10 off the original list price, you can plug in six devices in the AC outlets as well as two traditional USB ports and a USB-C port. Not to mention all the devices you plug in will be protected from any and all surges that may occur! Grab this before it’s gone!
We’ve all been spending an… inordinate amount of time inside. Why not treat yourself to a better Netflix binging and video game grinding experience? Best Buy has a very big and very fancy TV on sale for $850, and you should definitely consider grabbing it.
This LG smart TV is a whopping sixty-five inches, so you know you’ll be able to see everything on this baby. The TV boasts a 2160p resolution, and four (!) HDMI ports. As someone that only has 2 HDMI ports, that sounds awesome. The Nano 8 can also hook up with Google Assistant so you can use it to turn the TV on and off, or change the channels without the remote.
There are all sorts of other features on Best Buy’s store page, so make sure to give it a look! And remember—you deserve nice things.
If you have learned anything about me, dear readers, it’s that I don’t have room for shit. My room is small, my desk is small, and I have to throw headsets and controllers on the wall like I’m some kind of nerd (well, I am a nerd, but that’s besides the point). Finding a place where my power strips and surge protectors where my cat won’t knock into them is a challenge as well, but that’s where this funky looking surge protector comes in.
This six-plug, 4 USB power strip can cling to the side of your desk with its shape and clip on the inside, which means you can plug in all of your computer stuff and some chargers, then get the bulky wire mess out of the way. It’s much better than my solution to duct-tape my power strip to the back of the desk, at least.
Office Depot is having a sale on this nifty little guy, and you can get it for just $20. No code needed!
Having a spare battery handy is a sure way to reduce anxiety when you’re out and about with your phone. With a 20000mAh battery, the Anker PowerCore Essential packs enough power to give your device up to five charges, depending on what phone you’re toting, Right now, Kinja readers can get this battery pack for just $34 using the code KINJAR128. Sure, quarantine might mean you’re going out less, but with a savings of $16, it’s hard to pass up.
TODAY’S BEST HOME DEALS
If you’ve listened to any podcast the past year you know Brooklinen to be an omnipresent sponsor with pretty rave reviews at that. And gosh darn it, if it’s good enough for Dax Shepard it’s good enough for me. From no until May 6th enjoy 20% off anything on the site with the code BDAY. This is a great deal if you want to spruce up your bedroom. The classic core set of sheets is their best seller and a great introduction to the company. If you love affordable quality and comfort in your bedding Brooklinen is for you.
But it’s not just blankets, pillows, and sheets. Brooklinen also has a line of comfy loungewear and even has home decor, which I did not know. Basically, anything your domicile could require, they have it. There appears to be free shipping on all orders but I can’t find anything specified so this could be just for the birthday deal. Either way gorgeous options, great prices.
Now is crunch time where if you want to send mom flowers for Mother’s Day you have to move fast. Custom bouquets are running out and delivery options are filling up. UrbanStems has a plethora of beautiful bouquets, plants, and gifts still available though. They are giving Kinja readers 15% off and free shipping with code KinjaMomsDay. Free shipping alone has me thinking this is exactly how I’m sending a botanical bundle to my mom.
There are no stipulations on these savings so it’s sitewide. A lot of adorable plant options with their own vases too. So if you’ve got a real Earth Momma with a sense of humor this prehistoric planter is for her. Tons of options right now, but move fast before spots fill up.
No matter what you choose you will definitely make your mom’s very special day.
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no good at gifting. I would buy this $13 bag of 400 Hershey’s Kisses chocolates and give the whole thing to my mother in a heartbeat. Whenever I fall into depression after she disowns me for putting no thought into her Mother’s Day gift, I can just eat them all myself and work it all off in the gym whenever they open back up. Always plan ahead, folks.
I know a lot of you have been quarantine baking. I’ve seen the tweets and the Instagram stories of various breads and pastries. Well, make the process ten times easier with a multi-unit measuring cup. It’s only $10 and can measure wet and dry ingredients easily and is also dishwasher-safe. Just make sure to mail me some cupcakes when you’re finished.
Let’s face it—your pups are tired of you being home and not spending time with them. At first, they thought you were staying in your apartment just to bond with them, but they realized that you staying home didn’t correlate with more walks or playtime. They’re tired of your shit. Apologize by treating them with a ChuckIt! ball toy! It’s only $8, and your dogs will love it. It is made out of tough and durable rubber, and it BOUNCES! I don’t know about y’all, but I know my dogs would be going crazy if I brought this home. Grab it for your dog! They deserve it.
Need a battery that can jump start your car as easily as it can your phone? Pick up Gooloo’s 4000A Peak SuperSafe Car Jump Starter for $84 at Amazon using the promo code 3N9NLMI7.
While most people need a portable charger you can stuff in a bag or jacket pocket, this battery packs enough power to jump start your car in a pinch, too. With two USB-A charging ports, and one USB-C charging port, you’ll be able to keep all your gear charged up on your road trips without worrying about killing your car’s battery.
Handyman or not, everyone needs to make sure they have a solid toolkit in their house. It wouldn’t do to have a major problem fixed with a simple wrench and not have one! DeWALT’s 204 piece set will give you all the sockets and wrenches you’ll need to to take care of most jobs around the house, and it can be yours for a low, low $150.
Of course, this isn’t the ONLY thing you need in your house to be ready for anything, but it’s a really good start.
If you’ve been getting bored of having the same drink at the weekly happy hour Zoom call, it might be time to start changing things up and trying some new cocktails. Once you’ve combed through a few pages of a good cocktail book, you’ll want a reliable cocktail strainer to finish off your drinks. This one from OXO is down to just $10 right now, and it has a comfortable handle that will make your pours a bit easier after a long day.
There is nothing worse on a road trip than your phone battery running out. If you don’t have a fancy car with USB ports built in, you might be struggling when the phone starts telling you the battery is low. The Qidoe Car Charger can make sure you won’t have this problem again, with two USB ports and a USB Type-C port. It also has additional lighter slots built in, just in case you were using the car lighter to power something else. It’s a pretty good deal at $14 on Amazon, so grab this while it lasts!
My roommates and I don’t like paying too much on utilities, so we keep the house at 76 degrees, as recommended by our power company. That’s all fine and good during the day, but I find myself burning up when I head to bed. My puny fan doesn’t really help, so I need a more direct method to cool down. That’s where the ChiliPAD comes in.
The ChiliPAD sleep system comes with a mattress pad that cools you down, as well as a “thermal regulating control unit”, which sounds extremely fancy. You can get the ChiliPAD and cool down your bed for $150 off when you use the code sleepretreat at checkout. That brings a one-person ChiliPAD for a queen bed down to $350! Now go and get some quality sleep, for me.
TODAY’S BEST LIFESTYLE DEALS
Until the end of May, Babeland is offering $20 off any $99 purchase. This is $20 off the whole order so it doesn’t have to be one item. Since we can’t reach out and touch someone we might as well touch ourselves. And I deem self-care aids as essential items. The Magic Wand is still basically the gold standard and is a good option is you are in the vibration market.
Or mix it up and get adventurous with lingerie and BDSM gear. I would highly recommend cleaner and batteries if you’re purchasing a toy. And why not stock up on condoms for when we can socially…associate again? Is that the opposite of distancing?
Babeland is a great site with amazing products for all your sexy times, especially if you are a solo aviator. And free shipping on orders over $69.
PS. I can’t get over how cute this Wednesday Holmes designed Le Wand is.
We may be stuck inside for the most part right now, but that’s all the more reason to spring clean your wardrobe and feel like a person again. Believe me, every morning I wake up at the same time I did back in January, brew some coffee, and put on my casual workday attire. You can do the same, and even try out some new looks, with up to 60% off Huckberry spring outerwear.
Among our readers’ favorite brands, Huckberry is spotlighting Mendo flannels, Moto leather jackets, Flint and Tinder 10-Year hoodies, and more. Peruse the selection yourself and take something home. By September, who knows, maybe we’ll be outside enough to recycle these looks for the fall. And if nothing in the spring outerwear catalog is to your liking, here’s a little something to take the edge off: our regularly updated Huckberry deals page walking you through the hottest sales of each week.
From now until May 11th Levi’s has slashed its prices on all it’s warehouse items. This is up to 70% off on all of their closeout fashions. If you need a few pairs of jeans they’ve got you covered. Styles for men, women, and kids. Tees are as low as $6 and jeans as low as $20.
The only caveat is you have to sign up for their mailing list to get access. But you do get 20% off your next non-sale purchase and you won’t pay for shipping. Look in the regular sale section too, great deals there also. You will still enjoy free shipping with this warehouse order.
I trust a lot in Ole Henriksen products because good nourishing skincare is a major tenant of the company, which isn’t hard when your founder is a professional within that space. The new Glow From Home collection falls in line with that philosophy. From now until May 5th get 30% off their Vitamin C duo from this collection.
Normally $77, the Banana Bright Eye Crème and Banana Bright Face Primer aim to brighten and tighten. The eye creme acts as a color corrector as well as firming the entire eye area so you get that beaming glow on all your Zoom calls. And the primer gives you an effortless dewy radiance for your next virtual happy hour. It also extends the life of the makeup you might add to this routine, which is a real win on its own.
Grab this deal while you can for $53, as this is a limited time offer and it’s while supplies last. But you will get free shipping on this and a few free samples.
If you’re still struggling with what to get mom for her special day (pssst you’ve only got a week and some change left) Macy’s is having a great sale just in time. Today only it’s 50% – 70% off of all fine jewelry with the code FORYOU.
This includes diamonds, pearls, and watches. Ok, so you don’t have to break the bank to impress mom but there are some extremely affordable options. Like a $500 pair of gorgeous pearl earrings for $150, these gold ones are little classy and a little funky. Functional beauty is a solid pick too. This stainless steel Bulova watch is now 50% at $198. Or how about a diamond necklace for under $200? This Swaroski one from Arabella will have mom sparkling in no time.
There’s a lot of wonderful pieces to choose from even if you are on a budget. It really is about the thought and we’re sure your mom will love whatever you pick out. Free shipping on any order over $25.
Boring, long nights these days are the name of the game, so why not add excitement, especially if you’re bunkered up with a partner? Ella Paradis is offering a totally pleasurable deal where you get two amazing vibrators, bath bombs, and lace cuffs for you and bae to have the orgasms of your life (together or apart) for only $49! Yup. Usually, both these vibes and their accessories would cost you about $146, but you’re basically getting more than half off! Sure does sound satisfying to me—grab this deal before it’s gone!
This story was originally published by Ignacia Fulcher on 4/24/2020 and updated by Gabe Carey with new information on 4/27/2020.
Mother’s Day will be here before you know it! Mostly because every day seems to run into each other and I’m sure most of us don’t know what they mean anymore. I’ve missed birthdays and anniversaries while in quarantine because it’s just so hard to keep track without really structured days. But I won’t let that happen for Mother’s Day. Staring today Nordstrom Rack is having one of their deepest discounts (40%-60% off) on all handbags, totes, clutches, and backpacks.
There are a plethora of choices in this sale. Functional backpacks for sporty moms, tons of Marc Jacobs for fashion moms, and cute clutches for classy moms. Nordstrom Rack also has 30% off sitewide with free shipping on any purchase over $100. There will be an expedited shipping option too in case you need a little more time to make a decision but it can get there for Mother’s Day. Either way, lots of beautiful choices for our marvelous moms whether we are with them or not.
Even though we’re spending most of our days indoors, it’s still nice to get dressed up and feel spiffy from time to time. Plus, it couldn’t hurt to have a few fresh fits for when we’re able to venture on out into the world again. Right now, Kinja readers can get three made-to-measurement shirts from Indochino for just $129, using the promo code KINJA at checkout. You won’t be able to grab any luxury fabrics, but you’re still saving up to $100 by buying them together.
After over six weeks of quarantine, it can be easy to find yourself in a bit of a culinary rut. Ingredients may be sparse these days, but a new cooking tool can go a long way in trying out new techniques and opening the door for new recipes. Right now, this stainless steel pan from Calphalon is down from $90 to $72, making it a good deal for anyone looking to try out a nice stir fry, or just add another tool to their kitchen arsenal.
Being stuck inside has left many of us itching to try out new recipes, and for a lot of people that’s meant making bread. The longer we’ve been cooped up inside, though, the harder it is to find things like sourdough starter. Even if you can’t make sourdough bread right now, you can still bake a tasty treat, like cornbread, pretty easily. With this cornbread pan from Lodge, which is down to just $22 right now, you can simplify the process by having the bread already baked into small triangles ready for the whole family.
My calves are in a constant state of tightness. Stretch them the wrong way, and I’ll be limping around the rest of the day with a nasty charlie horse. I’ve looked for calf massagers on Amazon multiple times, but they’re all really expensive. But, now it’s time to save big with Naipo’s foot and calf massager! You can grab this hulk of a machine for just $175 (over $100 off) if you use code 40XOWMC4 at checkout. If it’s anything like the shoulder massager I bought from them, it’s worth every penny.
You may have seen our neck gaiter accessory around each of our sister sites’ dedicated store pages, but for a limited time only, we’re discounting each one by 10% and donating a percentage of the sales to charities like Feeding America, The Trevor Project, and Planned Parenthood. Support your favorite sites—and keep your face covered—while giving back to a benevolent cause.
Whether you want to show off your appreciation for Kotaku’s excellent games coverage or Jezebel’s meticulous (and sometimes hilarious) reporting on issues important to women, now is the chance to do so for just $19. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Meals on Wheels and Planned Parenthood, respectively. Each gaiter is washable and reusable and can also be used as a headband, bandana, wristband, neck warmer, and more.
Here’s a full rundown of our branded face shields, along with the names of the charities involved.

TODAY’S BEST MEDIA DEALS
Diamond announced a few days ago that distribution of comics will resume on May 20th and they’ve already begun taking orders from DC. ComiXology is offering a 60-da free trial to their Unlimited service in the interim. But honestly, this is a great deal even if Diamond has their business together. It’s no secret COVID-19 has rocked the industry and threatened shops globally. If you are in a position to support your local shop in the coming month’s check-in to see how they are doing also.
ComiXology is offering a great opportunity to get caught up, revisit, or discover a series for the first time. I personally have several Marvel and Archie series loaded up on my iPad to ease the ability to read, but you can views all these titles on your computer too. As an Unlimited member, you will also get access to exclusive deals and sales each publisher has throughout the year.
This is a great opportunity for any comic or manga reader. And if you love the service after those 60 days, it’s just $5.99 after that.
If there’s one constant in life, it’s that there’s a Kindle Store sale going on. This weekend, you can save on some reader favorites and add to your ever-growing book backlog, all for under $5 a book.
There is something that strikes me about this sale, though. The reader favorites cover a variety of genres, sure, but there is… a lot of self-help books. The very first book on this list is Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything, and looking through the sale’s eight pages reveals more self-help books like Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me) and The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity. In short, y’all need help, and these books have one of the many, many answers available to you. Which is great! It’s not like therapy is affordable to everyone.
Oh, there’s also some books about math or something.
Now is as good a time as any to make new friends around the world, and unless your idea of a good time is deciphering cryptic codecs—because that’s exactly what it feels like with Google Translate sometimes—learning a new language might be something you’re into. Rosetta Stone licenses are heavily discounted today for anyone up for the challenge, including a lifetime license for $200 (down from $300). You can also put up $96 for 12 months of unlimited access, and $144 for two years. (But let’s be real: you’ll probably need more than two years.)
You’re getting full access to learn more than 24 of the world’s most common and popular languages, including Mandarin, French, German, Japanese, Greek, and even Hebrew. I can tell you from experience that the single most useful thing you can take on an international vacation is at least basic knowledge of the local language, so be sure to start practicing now for that post-quarantine trip you’ve had to put off.
