TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS

Need a new laptop? And not just a regular old one, but a total powerhouse that’ll scare everyone who sees it? You’re in luck! Razer is running a massive save on its Razer Blade laptops, with some models marked down up to $500 off the list price. Considering that these very high-end machines can cost thousands of dollars, that’s a huge bit of savings. There are a ton of different models to choose from, but just about everything runs an Intel Core i7 processor, so they pack a serious punch. Whether you need something for gaming, your home studio, or intensive work like video, many of these will suit whatever you need one for.

There’s a lot of noise happening right now. We’re living through a genuinely overwhelming time that makes it hard to focus on much of anything. I spent hours trying to write a piece about Final Fantasy yesterday. I’ve personally found that a good pair of headphones helps me keep my head on my shoulders when I’m distracted. I have a big pair of studio-style cans that just block out the outside world entirely. If you’re looking for something similar, Amazon currently has Philips’ Audio Fidelio headphones down to $116. These are open-back headphones, so they’re not exactly noise cancelling, but they do offer extremely clear sound and comfortable memory foam ear-pads. Obviously, a pair of headphones isn’t going to solve any problems, but we can only hope for a few good hours of calm during the day.

For a first-gen Apple product, the new MacBooks featuring the company’s own custom chipset is reviewing surprisingly well, even from our friends at Gizmodo. And, like clockwork, the M1-equipped MacBook Pro is discounted $60 at both Amazon and B&H Photo at least if you’re cool with the entry-level Space Gray build with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.

Here’s what Gizmodo’s Joanna Nelius had to say in her review of the powerful new MacBook Pro:

I do all my work and play on PC, but Apple’s M1 processor has me wondering if I really need a Windows PC for my next laptop. This is the first time in all my years of computing—ever since my dad sat me in front of a keyboard as a toddler—that I’ve ever considered getting a Mac.


JBuds Air True Wireless Earbuds | $40 | Amazon

I’ve had the pleasure of testing a few items from JLab over the last few weeks and was pleasantly surprised by the quality for not only the price but the size. If you’re not sure where to start with wireless and are worried about going too cheap the JBuds Air True Wireless Earbuds are a great option. They’re 15% off and in that nice space of moderate price but solid performance.

The sound is crisp, clear, and they block out a fair amount of background noise. They turn on automatically and connect immediately which is something I’m still getting used to with this brand. And being able to control everything by tapping one of the earbuds takes some time to figure out. It’s a bit of a learning curve but once you remember how many taps to what the transitions are seamless. The charging case is true to the twenty-four-hour claims of playtime. Expect around six hours of tune time for the earbuds off of one charge. These are sweatproof and waterproof so workout approved whether indoors or outside. They are comfy for hours of wear and the case is compact enough to toss in your bag or pocket. The JBuds will be a great addition to your audio collection.

Adidas Sports iPhone 11 Case with Grip Stand | $28 | Amazon

This is one of my favorite cases currently. It’s only for the iPhone 11 and is sold out on Adidas’ website. But it is 20% off right now on Amazon. Adidas is known for making quality workout gear but I can now say they should also be known for making durable tech accessories. Their cases are absolutely built for hearty runs, intense training sessions, or long hauls at the gym. The polycarbonate backplate was perfect on my jogs and didn’t give me a sweaty hand. It also withstood a drop or two over the holidays. The solar red hue is a nice pop of color against my white phone so it definitely catches the eye. But where it really shines is with the stand that can be either horizontal or vertical. It really comes in handy when my mom FaceTimes and I need to be hands-free, like when she’s walking me through one of her recipes. The stand easily pops out and snaps back in and is surprisingly flush after multiple times doing this. This is a versatile and quality case if you need a new one for the new year.

Aukey True Wireless Earbuds | $14 | Amazon | Clip coupon
Aukey True Wireless Earbuds | $14 | Amazon | Clip coupon

We’ve come a long way from the days in which you had to spend $100+ for quality true wireless earbuds. While you still can spend that much, there are a lot of budget-friendly options these days that are well-reviewed by customers and praised for their value, and the prices just keep getting lower and lower.

Right now, you can snag a pair of Aukey True Wireless Earbuds for just over $14 at Amazon when you clip the coupon on the page. For that shocking price, you’ll get Bluetooth 5.0 buds that provide up to five hours of listening per charge with another 20 hours of charge available within the included charging case. They’re IPX5 water resistant and offer touch controls, plus they come with three sets of silicone tips for comfort.

The 3.6-star rating average from 19,000+ reviews is a little lower than we usually see from budget earbuds, but there are plenty of glowing 5-star appraisals in the mix. Seems well worth a shot if you’re looking for wallet-friendly ‘buds right now.


Mpow M12 Bluetooth Earbuds | $17 | Amazon | Clip Coupon & Use Code MMMMMM12
Mpow M12 Bluetooth Earbuds | $17 | Amazon | Clip Coupon & Use Code MMMMMM12

These are my backup earbuds and they’re an excellent reliable pair to have around. If you looking for an extra pair as an emergency backup or a pair you don’t mind taking on your adventures the M12s are a great option. Mpow’s Bluetooth Earbuds are 36% off until January 8, just clip the coupon and use the code MMMMMM12. This code will only work on the black color.

The M12s are small and lightweight but that doesn’t affect the sound in any way. They’re comfortable, pair quickly, and definitely stay in even on a run. I’ve found they charge pretty quick too if you don’t have a lot of time. If you’ve only got ten minutes you’ll get about an hour of playtime off of that zap charge. With all full charge expect close to twenty-five hours of tune time with the charging case. They’re compatible with a variety of smartphones and you’ll always be able to see how much juice you have left in the earbuds once connected. These are waterproof, rainproof, and sweatproof so don’t worry if you want to have an intense workout session with them. The mic always works perfectly for calls and video chats. The tap controls take a bit of time to get use to but other than that these are a sold extra pair to have on hand.

Apple iPad Air 4th Gen (64GB Sky Blue) | $559 | Amazon
Apple iPad Air 4th Gen (64GB Sky Blue) | $559 | Amazon
Image: Andrew Hayward

You can snag the newest iPad Air (4th Generation) at Amazon right now and get $40 in savings, bringing your total down to $559 for the base 64GB model in Sky Blue. It’s the cheapest of the bunch, although Green is at $570 right now. Both colors are currently listed to ship later this month.

Reviews are in, and all indications are that this is the best value among all of Apple’s big slates. It shares a lot in common with the bigger, more powerful, much more expensive iPad Pro. It’s only missing extra cameras and Face ID (but the fingerprint reader is back to help), plus the display isn’t as bright (600 nits vs 500), big (12.9 inches vs 10.9 inches), or fast (120hz vs 60hz).

But it has the powerful Apple A14 Bionic chipset and picks up Apple Pencil support, making this a much sweeter option for casual artists and multimedia buffs. And it comes in fun colors, too.

Are you the friend constantly asking if anyone has a charger? Or pre-pandemic were you asking bartenders if you could plug your phone in somewhere? The second option is probably not on the table now so what better way to solve the problem than by grabbing this Aukey 10,000mAh power bank for just $27. Just use the code WVHYH3BT at checkout.

I’ve had Aukey products before and really like them. This power bank is a great deal at 31% off. I personally like to have a portable charger with me at all times because I hate the feeling of seeing that battery level on my phone go to red not knowing where and when I can charge it. This power bank shines with its foldable stand which allows for hands-free phone viewing while it charges, which it can do cable-free thanks to the built-in Qi wireless functionality.

It’s a bit hefty but it can charge an iPhone 12 up to 60% in just thirty minutes. The charger itself takes about three hours before it’s fully charged and you can hit the road. This pack comes with a user manual and a 24-month AUKEYCARE Card.

Portable USB drives have lots of benefits, from expanded laptop storage, to serving as backup devices, and making transferring files between devices and carrying your files around with you. They can be pricey, though! Samsung’s drives are dependable and sleek, easily sliding into even small bag pockets, so your data can always be at your side. A 1TB drive would typically cost $200, but right now it’s down to $160 on Amazon, saving you $40. You’ll also be able to choose from black, blue, or red, depending on your geek chic.

If you want save even more cash, you can drop down to 500GB and save yourself another $70, since that model’s down to $90 right now on Amazon.

This deal was originally published in July 2020, and was updated with new information on 1/4/2021.

I’ve tested Mpow products in the past and was always pleasantly surprised at the value to price ratio. They’re quality without breaking the bank. A real holiday treat from the company is their M9 Wireless Earbuds. They’re just $22 when you clip the coupon and use the code MPOWM901. This discount will appear once you start the checkout process. This code expires on January 10 and it only works for the black color.

The noise-canceling on all the Mpow products is incredible and of course, the M9s are like this too. The 2 mic/CVC 8.0 tech helps reduce environmental noise but also aids in voice clarity for all types of calls. If you’re on a lot of zooms and skypes these might be your new best friend. You’ll get a full scope of balanced sound if you just want to groove too. They have about 40 hours of playtime in total. It’s 6 hours off of a single charge with an extra 34 with the charging case. To get that full charge with the case it will take about an hour. These pair easy via Bluetooth with your chosen device and look really sleek in the all black. The M9s are sweatproof so go ahead and take these on your next jog.

Movie nights with loved ones are a great way to pass the time. If you’re keeping your circle small or still sticking to those you co-habitat with I’m sure Netflix and Disney+ have been given a run for their money. I’ve been looking into a projector because I’m lucky enough to have a backyard and have a roommate who thought setting up a project for our weekend hangs with the same five people we see might be cool. The Hompow Mini Projector is just $68 right now which is an absolute steal on it.

This projector works with smartphones, laptops/notebooks, tablets, Fire sicks, and more directly with an MHL cable or HDMI adaptor. You’ll need to grab one of those depending on which device you’re streaming with. Get a screen up to 176'’ in mere seconds to make your own personal theater. With so many movie theaters still closed or going out of business this home system is a great way to keep the spirit alive. Although this project is small that doesn’t interfere with its output. High resolution that’s bright and brilliant is not an issue. It even supports gaming systems if you want to host your own esports tournament. Low noise and over 50,000 hours of lamp life makes this an amazing quality to value option. This also comes with a two-year warranty.

Hey, remember Godfall? That’s the “looter-slasher” that launched alongside the PlayStation 5 in November, though it already feels like its been five years. Now it’s one of the first next-gen games to get a discount, because Amazon has it down to $40 already. Now hold on, $40 doesn’t sound like a big deal, right? That’s not too far off from the normal price of a game! Not anymore! We’ve now entered the era of $70 games on next-gen consoles, a reality that has yet to sink in for many players. Big releases like Demon’s Souls are a serious financial consideration and that makes even the slightest discount more attractive. If nothing else, Godfall’s price cut is a nostalgic trip to one month ago when games were just inexpensive enough that impulse buying wasn’t out of the question. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can even grab the Deluxe Edition for $60 or the Ascendant Edition for $70.


My Partner Pikachu | $10 | Amazon

Great news everyone: Pikachu is on sale today. That’s right, it’s Pikachu. You know him, you love him. He’s $10. More specifically, Amazon has the My Partner Pikachu figure half off today. While it’s admittedly not the Pikachu, this is an adorable interactive figure that responds to touch. Poke his little belly and his arms and ears will wiggle like the Pillsbury Doughboy. Tap his precious forehead and he’ll say “Pika!” Boop him on his little bitty nose and his cheeks and tail will light up. Consider it a sort of stress relief desk toy that you can poke when you feel overwhelmed, which is constantly if you’re me. Or buy it for your child, I guess.

Update: We’re still cooped up inside. For anyone who’s been isolating since March, cabin fever has likely set in and stayed present for months now. That’s especially true for parents trying to find ways to keep their kids entertained inside. Here’s something that could help: Amazon has this Spider-Man themed Sinister Six card game on sale for $10 today and it has a particularly fun premise. You complete heists with a team of different Marvel supervillains. Players use cards with special abilities to loot locations, escape capture. The box comes with cards, tokens, and some colorful villain figures too. At 3-6 players, it’s the perfect size for family game night. Or you can pick up a copy so you’re ready to go as soon as lockdown ends.

You’ve probably played a racing game, but have you really ever played one? For hardcore racing enthusiasts, driving with a controller isn’t quite the same as hitting the open road with a real wheel. If you’re looking to upgrade your setup, Amazon has the Thrustmaster Scuderia Ferrari Race Kit discounted to $225. The package includes a Ferrari emblazoned headset as well as an elaborate racing wheel peripheral that’s compatible with old and new consoles, as well as PC. As a glance, it’s intimidating. There are more buttons and knobs on the wheel than I’d ever know what to do with. Then again, I don’t know how to drive a car at all, so this isn’t for me; it’s for the experts out there who have a need for speed. If nothing else, it just looks cool as hell.

Best Buy has a double dose of Kingdom Hearts deals today, so I hope you’re prepared. For starters, Kingdom Hearts 3 is down to $10. Considering that the RPG only came out one year ago, that’s a very low price. Kingdom Hearts 3 concludes the Disney/Final Fantasy hybrid trilogy that will most assuredly get another installment somewhere down the line. For Switch owners, the recently released Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is now $45. The latest installment of the series is a rhythm game where players dance along to classic songs from the franchise. And yes, that includes Simple and Clean.


Collection of Mana | $20 | Amazon

We’re in the slow period for games right now. At the start of each year, the release schedule temporarily halts, giving players a chance to go back in time and play some older games. Before you jump into the world of Hitman 3, remember to pay your respects to the classics. Collection of Mana is currently 50% off at Amazon, bringing it down to $20. It includes three genre staples: Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, and Trials of Mana. The latter was never localized in the West until now, so you can play it without having to go through some weird emulator or fan translation. The collection features local multiplayer options for anyone who wants to relive the past with a friend. Adventure forth, brave wanderers.

2020 was a banner year for turn-based tactics games. Titles like Gears Tactics and XCOM: Chimera Squad made a splash earlier this Spring as delays began to sink in. One game you might have missed in all that action? Wasteland 3. The stand-out game blends the worlds of strategy and party-based RPGs to deliver a wild dystopian adventure, complete with spider robots and a giant statue of God President Reagan (2020's more biting take on the former president). Amazon currently has the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game 50% off, so you can grab it for $30. This is a solid deal for anyone on the hunt for 2020 hidden gems to close out the year.


Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot (PS4) | $20 | Amazon

It’s impossible to describe how long 2020 felt. Games like The Last of Us Part II, which came out in the summer, feel years old at this point. But if you really want to feel the full spectrum of this past year, here’s a reminder that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot came out in 2020. Reach back into the recesses of your mind and think back to last January when the action RPG was one of 2020's first big games. Those were simpler times. Days when Goku was the center of attention. I miss it. If you want to restart the year fresh, you can grab a PlayStation 4 copy of the game for $20 at Amazon. Everyone say “thank you Goku” in the comments to show your respect.

Do you even prep bro? But really, meal prep is a great way to introduce portion control into your routine and help maintain weight. Studies have shown it is safe to eat food within seven days of prep although really five days is ideal. This twenty-four piece glass food container set is the perfect way to get started and it’s 52% off its original price.

How many times have you made a great meal or had leftovers and you just can find matching lids? I’ve done it so many times, with twenty-four of them surely this will never happen again. These containers have an airtight and watertight seal to help with freshness and keep your food’s aromas to themselves. The glass is easy to clean and can be used over and over. Pop them in the microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher, it’s all safe. You’ll get four rectangle containers, four square containers, and four round containers. This saves you both money and time, two very valuable things.

Okay, maybe that’s a biiiiiit of an exaggeration. The Union & Scale FlexFit Dexley mesh chair is no Herman Miller, but it’ll get the job done alright. For just $150—40% off the list price—you can sit your ass down in a chair that’s certainly a step up from the dining chair you’ve been using since March. Finally, you can say goodbye to the pain that’s been permeating in your back since lockdown first began. And since no one’s employer is supplying them with the tools needed to be as productive at home as they were in the office, you might as well snatch up a chair similar to what you’d find in most workplaces anyway since it’s clear we’re going to be here a while.

As the name suggests, it’s got a mesh back and seat to keep your back cool, freeing you somewhat from the dangers of backne. Although it’s pretty generic overall, it does have all the bells and whistles when it comes to adjustments. That includes seat height, an adjustable headsrest, and lumbar support, as well as tilt tension and tilt lock. You can even shell out an extra $45 and have Staples assemble the chair for you, in case you’re like me and hate buying new furniture because of the extra step of putting it together. The FlexFit Dexley can support up to 275 pounds of weight and comes with a 7-year manufacturer’s warranty in case you notice any defects later on.

Let me tell you, the Dyson V7 is a game-changer, and I’m not just saying that because it’s on sale for $200 and we get a commission from each purchase. I bought one myself back in June and haven’t regretted it. Mounted to our wall, it’s much easier to store than a larger upright floor vac you might tuck away in a closet and rarely touch. I use mine almost every day to pick up kitty litter as my cat explodes from his spaceship. For smaller spaces, the canister yields a sufficient enough capacity that you can go about a month without emptying it out. Not to mention the actual process of dumping out the dirt and dust only requires the simple pull of a lever.

A $150 discount is not nothing, especially considering I paid notably more for mine back in June. While it may not have the longest battery life in the world, clocking in at just 30 minutes, those living in quaint apartments or rancher-style homes shouldn’t take more than that to give their place a nice sweep. Plus, it comes in a super vibrant blue shade right now with red and purple accents. Grab it while you can!

The benefits of weighted blankets are numerous and well documented. They’ve been known to lessen anxiety, give a sense of calm, and provide comfort. It’s based on the concept of deep pressure touch, a type of therapy that uses hands-on pressure to relieve stress. Sharper Image’s plush velveteen weighted blanket is $91 less today and can do all that.

The weight is evenly distributed and actually makes it feel as if you are being hugged while being snug. These blankets often help with the production of serotonin and melatonin so easing that anxiety and making sleep more sound. This particular blanket, aside from being extremely cozy, it’s twenty pounds and perfect for most adults. The high-density micro-beads are lead-free and BPA-free so less for you to worry about. If it gets a stain don’t stress, just spot clean it with soap and water and let it dry out in the air. Or you can just bring it to the dry cleaners.

If you spend a lot of time perusing social media, then there’s a good chance that you’ve come across Our Place’s Always Pan. It’s a beautifully-designed nonstick pan that you wouldn’t mind leaving on your stovetop, and thankfully, the function matches the form.

The Always Pan is billed as an 8-in-1 replacement for your cavalcade of lesser pans, as it can be a saute pan, skillet, steamer, saucepan, and more, and you can boil, braise, strain, and quite a bit more with this versatile kitchen tool. We’ve seen rave reviews from critics and everyday customers alike, who praise the Always Pan for its even cooking and clever design elements.

Gizmodo staff writer Victoria Song shared her take on bringing this wonder pan into a tiny Manhattan studio apartment:

“This thing is super easy to clean, cute on the stovetop, and finally, I have a goddamn place to rest my spatula. Also, I am super excited to trash, like, five pans that are roughly the same size that I have absolutely destroyed. Do you know how much cabinet space we’re going to reclaim?? Do you????

Right now, you can save $29 on the Always Pan direct from the manufacturer when you use promo code BYE2020 at checkout. These have been in short supply due to holiday demand, and most color options are set to ship in February. Still, this deal is sure to push that wait time back even further, so jump on this bargain while you can!

Although you might not get as powerful performance from a cordless electric screwdriver, sometimes your even closest outlet is out of reach. And if you’re without a wireless solution, well—excuse the pun—you’re screwed. As a backup, you should always have a cordless screwdriver somewhere around the house. Fortunately, this one from Tacklife is on sale for $14 on Amazon today when you enter the promo code UOPDJXCP at checkout. In total, with the discount applied, you’re looking at a total discount of 45% down from the original $28 list price. Now that’s podracing.

Despite having what I’m guessing is inferior performance to a stationary screwdriver, Tacklife’s cordless option boasts a decent 2,000mAh battery, rechargeable over microUSB. A three-level battery indicator lets you know when you’re about to run out of juice. Complete with a 4nm torque and 1/4" magnetic chuck, on paper it doesn’t sound too shabby. Speeds of up to 200 RPM round it out as a fine budget option for anyone whose DIY projects don’t require anything too vigorous.

This deal ends January 9, so if you’re in need of a new electric screwdriver snatch this one up while it’s still on sale, no strings (or cords) attached.

I think we can all agree paper straws are stupid. I get that you want to save the planet but at what cost? You get two sips in and it’s utterly useless. If you are like me and hate this hopeless alternative there is another option. Help the planet and never have to use paper nonsense again with this collapsible magnetic super straw. It’s 24% off and lets you do your part by cutting down waste on single-use plastic straws.

These straws are on sale in three colors aqua, navy, and pink. They fit snuggly in a cup as large as a twenty-four ounce. They’re made of tough stainless steel and the silicone tip makes it easier and more pleasing to drink out of. It’s is collapsible and comes with a cute carrying case to make using it much more convenient. And it easily and firmly assembles with magnets. You’ll also get a cleaning brush to make sure it stays in tip-top shape. This comes with a one-year warranty too.

Meterk 1500A Car Jump Starter | $50 | Amazon | Promo Code KINJIA001
Meterk 1500A Car Jump Starter | $50 | Amazon | Promo Code KINJIA001
Graphic: Gabe Carey

Need a jump? With an A rating from Fakespot, Meterk may not be a household name, but its 1500A portable jump starter is backed by a 4.6-star average review score out of over 3,500 ratings. Capable of restoring both your car and your phone to full health, the device boasts 18,000mAh of power, enough to bring gas cars up to 8 liters and diesels up to 6 liters back to life. On a full charge, Metertek claims it can jump-start your car around 30-40 times, although I have my doubts about that, especially since one verified reviewer said they were only able to manage eight. The company also says the starter can juice up your phone to 100% up to 10 times before you have to plug it into a socket for another 3 hours.

Still, a jump starter with this kind of performance would ordinarily set you back at least $70, this particular model included. Thanks to its dual-USB design, you can even connect two devices at once, one of which can take advantage of the quick-charge 3.0 port assuming it’s compatible. It’s unclear how long exactly it would take to fully charge, say, an iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy S20, but you can rest assured a car jump-start only takes about 1-3 seconds. As for its total lifespan, Metertek asserts this’ll keep cranking for a whole 3-5 years if you take proper care of it. Fortunately, that won’t be too difficult considering its rugged enclosure is rated for IP65 water resistance.

To get the discount, just clip the on-site coupon and enter our exclusive promo code KINJIA001. This deal expires January 15, so act now before you forget you saw this and inevitably miss out.

20% off TRX Products | Huckberry
20% off TRX Products | Huckberry
Image: Huckberry

Despite having the same body type as Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, my nickname in college was Swole Gabe. Ok, sure, only one person called me that, and I’m pretty sure it was sarcasm, but I still think about it to this day. Because even though I didn’t have the physique of a bodybuilder, I did work my ass off to try and get there. Now that the gyms are closed (or at least many of us don’t feel safe going), anyone who’s trying to become a Swole John or Jane or Jordan has to do so from home which, without the right gear, is undoubtedly a challenge.

Fortunately, Huckberry has discounted a fine selection of TRX fitness products on its site by 20%. That means, for $80 you can pick up the Minimal Fit System, simply mount it to your wall, and start working on your beach bod through the increasingly chilly winter. If you’ve already got your own gear, you can attach it to the TRX Mount for $32—or, if you’re trying to be a little more discreet, you can also start your fitness journey with an Invizi-Mount for $24 and tuck it behind a wall frame. For anyone really serious about getting into shape, the TRX Tactical is designed for a 12-week conditional program. While it’d normally set you back $250, you can install one in your home for $50 less.

Note that the sale only lasts until midnight on January 8, so you don’t have much time before everything I mentioned returns back to full price.


Vipex Light Therapy Lamp | $20 | Amazon
Vipex Light Therapy Lamp | $20 | Amazon

Winter blues are difficult to contend with, especially now so with many of us stuck working from home, contending both with isolation and soaking in even less healing daylight over the course of each day. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or just know the lows that come with the season, a light therapy lamp can provide some daily relief.

Right now, Amazon has this Vipex light therapy lamp for just $20, which is $5 off and about half the price compared to comparable models on the site. The LED panel provides 10,000 lux intensity while filtering out 99.9% of UV rays, giving you the blast of healthy light on command as needed. It also has a 90-degree rotatable base for easy positioning.

Amazon customers give it a glowing 4.7-star rating from 700+ reviews.


Tie-Dyed Pajama Set | $52 | Macy’s
Tie-Dyed Pajama Set | $52 | Macy’s

This tie-dyed pajama set is striking, to say the least. The color choice of burgundy is an interesting one. This polyester/rayon/spandex mess is 25% off for the rest of the day and unlike Lady Gaga’s dress, it can be washed and reworn. These jammies give new meaning to the term “meat sweats.” But they would be perfect for lounging after a hefty meal.

If you aren’t feeling this set there are four other options that are a bit more appealing color-wise. If cozy tie-dye is something you want to add to your slumber wear these PJs aren’t a bad choice.

This will ship free and the sale ends tonight.


While the vaccine is rolling out now, it’s clear that our masked days won’t be ending anytime soon. If you’re looking for some fresher or perhaps better masks than what you’ve been using the past several months, here’s a nice bonus offer from N95Maskco.

Right now, when you buy a pack of their CDC-certified N95 foldable face masks—which block up to 95% of airborne particles—you’ll get a free six-pack of cloth masks alongside. The prompt to add the free masks shows up after you add the N95 pack to your cart, so just keep an eye out at the top of the screen.

Whether you want to double up on N95 and cloth masks or just have options, one purchase can get it done. N95Maskco sells N95 mask bundles starting from 20 masks for $80 and 30 masks for $100, with higher-capacity packs pushing the per-mask price even lower.


4 Pack Tweezer Set | $8 | Amazon Gold Box
4 Pack Tweezer Set | $8 | Amazon Gold Box

Oh, the number of times I’ve either lost a tweezer or had no idea where one was. If you’re like me and you’ve had that $20 salon tweezer disappear it might be time to snag a few for a lot less. Tweezers are little tools that do such a big job. If you’ve had them go missing there is a panic that sets in because I will not leave the house with messy brows. This professional precision tweezer pack is just $8 and comes with a case to never misplace them again.

You’ll get four professional-grade tweezers for all your needs. Tame an unruly brow and make two of them, pluck an errant nose hair, grasp that ingrown strand, and pull a little piece of glass from your foot. These belong in your makeup bag and first aid kit. And remember precious tweezers aren’t just for beauty, they are great assistants in fixing jewelry, craft working, and even opening electronics. Made of durable stainless steel they can withstand many tasks, plus they come in a cute little travel bag. Just put them in an easy-to-access spot you’ll be able to recall. Medicine cabinet?

As Kanye once rapped on The College Dropout, “I can’t even pronounce nothing, pass that Ver-say-see.” And now that he’s back in the news for his alleged divorce from reality TV superstar Kim Kardashian, whether you’re mourning or celebrating the demise of their relationship, maybe it’s time to use it as an excuse to buy some Ver-say-see of your own. Though it was discounted earlier today at Walmart, an even weirder place to buy Versace cologne, you can still fetch a 6.7-ounce bottle of the upscale fashion brand’s Eros Eau De Toilette fragrance for $68 over on Amazon, marked down from its usual $75 tag.

If you don’t wear cologne all that often, the 3.4-ounce bottle is down to $53, from $86 MSRP, according to the Amazon list price. However, as my price history tracker revealed, the highest price I could find was $60 since last March, indicating it’s somewhat of an artificial price drop. Still, Versace doesn’t go on sale too often, and a $7 discount certainly isn’t nothing. I haven’t worn cologne in so long I’m tempted to pick up a bottle myself. After all, it feels good to smell good, and every now and then you have to treat yourself to something nice.

To anyone concerned about authenticity, user reviews are no doubt mixed, but the listing has been verified for quality by FakeSpot and it ships directly from the Versace Store via Amazon.


C4 Pre-Workout Mix (Blue Raspberry) | $13 | Amazon | Clip Coupon
C4 Pre-Workout Mix (Blue Raspberry) | $13 | Amazon | Clip Coupon
Image: Gabe Carey

Despite resembling the chemical waste in Springfield’s nuclear chemical plant, C4 Sport—in my experience at least—works wonders. NSF-certified and designed to motivate higher rep counts, therefore helping you build lean muscle, the pre-workout mix is normally found at nutrition stores like GNC for around $25, but for a limited time, you can shave 15% off the already marked down $17 price tag simply by clipping a coupon on Amazon. With that discount applied, the Blue Raspberry flavor (the best if you ask me) comes down to $13 apiece. Fruit Punch and Watermelon are also on sale, for $19 and $16, respectively. As someone who’s tried all three, I recommend Blue Raspberry since it has the least bad aftertaste of the bunch.

No matter which flavor you choose, expect copious amounts of caffeine to keep you stimulated throughout your workout, making the most of your limited time to work out given increasingly hectic work schedules. Take it before your workout and bolster your strength, thanks to creatine, an excellent and drug-free way to recover your aching body after particularly exhausting physical exertion. Make like Goku and take fewer breaks between sessions, work out longer and faster, and maintain focus on a budget with your pick of sugar-free pre-workout solution, all soluble in 6-8 fluid ounces of water.

By clipping the coupon, note that you do have to “Subscribe & Save” in order to take advantage of this deal, so I’d only recommend signing off if you’re comfortable with a recurring order being placed in your name. That being said, you can cancel your subscription at any time, so it’s pretty non-committal, and you’ll eventually have to restock anyway.

All jokes aside if you’re in need of a good stress reliever while waiting to see if actual help is on the way Ella Paradis is here for you. Their aptly named bundle (Stimulus Package) is only $60 with the code 2021. This code works sitewide currently and you can get up to 70% on several products.

In this bundle, you will find the dynamic duo of the Butterfly and Pixie Wand. Both are good starter vibes if you’ve been thinking of dipping your bits into the sexy toy waters. Both are intended for your own stimulating bundle with literal good vibes and soft silicone. They’re waterproof and charge via USB. The Butterfly has ten settings, suction vibration, and runs about ninety minutes off of a single charge. The Pixie wand also has ten settings, is great for travel, and is very user friendly.

This will ship for free.

 TODAY’S BEST MEDIA DEALS

There’s so much to do in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla that I can’t imagine many people have hit the bottom of the content barrel yet. The open world game is filled with side-quests, collectibles, and secrets that give it a very long-tail. So fans probably aren’t sitting around wishing for more at this point. But for the extremely committed, the official Art of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla book is currently on sale. The regular hardcover is $26, but the nifty Deluxe Edition is $50. It comes with a decorative slipcover and a landscape lithograph. This 192-page book is the perfect way to experience the English countryside at your leisure. I mean, sure, you could just get a photography book of real world England, but where’s the fun in that?


The World of Cyberpunk 2077 | $25 | Amazon

Can’t get enough Cyberpunk 2077? Or simply waiting to keep playing until the game’s upcoming patches make the game functional on PS4 and Xbox One? In any case, Amazon currently has The World of Cyberpunk 2077 on sale for $25, so you can get deeper into Night City. The 192-page hardcover is a handy explainer on some of the game’s extensive lore. This is especially handy if you’re someone like me who found themselves lost trying to understand all of the game’s different factions and tech-jargon. It’s not a guide, but it seems like a handy glossary for anyone that finds themselves a little overwhelmed by everything happening in the story.


The Art of Ghost of Tsushima | $34 | Amazon

Ghost of Tsushima is an extremely pretty game. Regardless of how you feel about its Ubisoft style open world, it’s hard not to get sucked in by all the gorgeous colors and locations. Even as someone who’s generally exhausted by the genre, I found Tsushima to be one of the most pleasant game worlds to traverse on aesthetic alone, right up there with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If you want to really soak it in even more, Amazon is currently selling The Art of Ghost of Tsushima book for $34. Published by Dark Horse Books, the hardcover is aesthetically pleasing on its own with its fancy slipcover. Of course, the main attraction is the art itself, which includes storyboards, sword-fighting diagrams, and much more.


Sabrina: Season of the Witch Prequel Novel | $8 | Amazon

The final chapter of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is now on Netflix. If like me you just aren’t ready to fully let the princess of the Underworld go there are some fun supplementary pieces of media out there. Outside of the comics (which are brilliant) there is a trilogy of prequel novels to get your Greendale fix. Season of the Witch is the first in the series and it’s 15% off right now.

This series takes place just before the show starts so it’s a fun lead-in if you were planning a rewatch before binging season four. Here we have our young witch studying magic and all the wonder that will come with her powers. The gang’s all here too: Susie, Roz, Harvey, Hilda, and Zelda. And of course my favorite cousin Ambrose. Sabrina wrestles with the idea that she only has a limited time of normal teen bliss before the big day of becoming a full-fledged witch. Being a Sabrina series you know spells backfire, mysterious spirits interfere, temptations swarm, and intentions go awry. Are you ready to walk down the path of night?

It will ship for free for Prime members if you prefer a physical copy. And the download is instant if you want the digital version.

DEALS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED

Dell UltraSharp U2419HX | $160 | Staples
Dell UltraSharp U2419HX | $160 | Staples

Sometimes a laptop screen simply won’t cut it anymore, but a hefty hi-res monitor is a bit too much. If your work day mostly consists of web browsing, emailing, and things that don’t focus too much on nitty gritty details, a 1080p monitor will probably get the job done. You won’t get to see as much content on screen as something with a higher resolution, but you’ll be saving a good chunk of cash. Right now, Dell’s UltraSharp U2419HX, typically $200, is down to $160 at Staples.

In addition to a 24" 1080p display, this monitor has adjustable height and angles, and five USB ports for all your connectivity needs.

Nothing throws a wrench in your gears quite like bad Wi-Fi. For something as essential to work-from-home life as good Wi-Fi, you should probably ditch your ISP-provided router for something with a bit more power. There’s plenty of options, ranging from $50 all the way up to over $400, and everyone’s needs will vary depending on how many people are on your network and what they’re using for, but a basic, dependable router can usually be found for a decent price. If you want a router that won’t have much trouble with larger spaces and multiple devices, Asus’s RT-AX3000 is down from $180 to $160 at Newegg.

It features 160MHz bandwidth, speeds up to 3000Mbps, and mesh networking if you need to cover a greater area. If you’re in a small apartment right now, that might not seem like a huge deal, but if you end up moving in a year or two, you’ll be thankful for grabbing a router with expandable capabilities so you don’t have to drop a bunch of cash on a whole new system.

Not everyone has the cash to splurge out on a Roomba, but there are affordable alternatives, such as these Roborock vacuums that are up to 35% off at Amazon for the next week. The Roborock E4 is the most affordable option, chopped down to $200 when you clip the coupon.

And if you want a multitasker that can both vacuum and mop, the Roborock S6 is equipped for the job and marked down 35% from the list price to $420. That deal lasts until January 17, while the others expire on the 10th.

Ready for a comfortable night’s sleep? Sleep like a baby on a Buffy Cloud down alternative comforter for as low as $65— that’s the price of one that will fit a twin or twin XL (dorm-size) bed. For most of us, we’ll need to step up to the full/queen Buffy Cloud down alternative comforter for $80.

 

I’ve had my eye on one of these for a while. The Buffy comforter is made of soft hypoallergenic eucalyptus fibers. And, the fill is sustainably made of recycled materials. It’s so lovely to find an eco-friendly and skin-friendly comforter— but even more lovely to find it for 50% off! Plus, this comforter is made for all seasons, so you can enjoy it now and its lyocell breathable fabric will keep you comfortably cool in the summer as well.

For the fancy people with their fancy massive California king beds, the Buffy Cloud comforter is down to just $100 right now. You really can’t beat that price!

I don’t know where you’re reading this from, but here in Minnesota, we’ve already got plenty of snow deterring outdoor activities for a while. That includes outdoor grilling, of course, which is why this Ninja Foodi 5-in-1 for just $200 at Best Buy seems like a perfect solution for winter doldrums.

The Foodi isn’t just an indoor grill, it is also a 4-quart air fryer and can also bake, dehydrate, and roast your favorite dishes.

Hydrow Connected Rower | $1,995 | Best Buy
Hydrow Connected Rower | $1,995 | Best Buy

Many of us got a crash course on remote work and remote learning last year due to the pandemic, and the surge in popularity around the Peloton bike shows that there is likewise ample demand for remote fitness devices that recreate that in-person gym experience.

Here’s another option for those who prefer to grab a paddle rather than bike or run. The Hydrow Connected Rower essentially brings the Peloton playbook to a rowing machine, with sleek hardware outfitted with a 22-inch touchscreen that delivers live instructor broadcasts and more than 1,000 saved video sessions.

If that sounds like an ideal way to keep you safely moving, Best Buy is currently taking $250 off of the Hydrow list price. That puts it just under $2,000, plus you’ll pay monthly for the Hydrow content service to make full use of it. While that’s no small investment, Hydrow reviews are very positive and it might be just what you need to skip the future gym fees altogether.

The Amazon Halo is on sale for 25% off right now, a price that applies to all three color options: Black Onyx, Blush Rose Gold, and Winter Silver. That brings it down to just $75.

The Halo measures body fat percentage, your activity, sleep, and even your tone of voice to track things like “energy and positivity” according to the Halo’s product description.

Since it doesn’t have a screen, the Halo is a nice distraction-free way to keep track of fitness metrics. Finish that workout or get better sleep without a blinking screen to grab your attention! You can monitor everything on an app on your phone instead— on your schedule.

Cariuma is a company definitely making waves in the sustainability space. They’re dedicated to fighting against wasteful practices that are rampant in the fashion industry. David and Fernando, the founders, wanted to bring all that to the sneaker game and to create thoughtfully made shoes with cool comfort. Good-looking kicks consciously created with classic styles. The company partnered again with color giants Pantone to release their hues for 2021 and it’s got classic casual written all over it.

They all run under $100. The low tops come in the shades of this new year: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. These are sharp shoes and you’ll turn heads for sure and take a step towards more eco-conscious shopping. I have a pair of Cariuma sneakers and love them. The color is striking and I always get compliments when I wear them out. They are a bit heavier but once you get used to them you’ll be just as stylish.
