TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS

Garmin Forerunner 935 | $250 | Amazon

If ever there were a year to skip on the New Year’s resolutions to get things into gear, this would be the time. That said, maybe you’re still ready to step up your running game and get into the nitty gritty of all your metrics.If so, you’ve probably taken a peek at Garmin’s slew of fitness trackers, which range from reasonably affordable to wildly expensive. Those higher-end watches do offer some nifty features, but often come at a high price point, as is the case with the Garmin Forerunner 935, which retails for $500. Right now, though, it’s half-off, bringing the price down to $250; if that’s in your budget, the 935's features start to seem a lot more appealing.

For your money, you’ll get a watch that has a built-in barometer and compass to track elevation and movement, notifications about your performance, up to 24 hours of battery life, and dynamic information for swimming, running, and cycling.

A few of these have turned up on the site and I’ve even tested one or two; this one is a fan favorite of SideDeal. These sanitizers can sterilize basically anything you can fit in it them and I’ve just started adding my face mask. Take 64% off this FineLife UV Phone Sanitizer today.

If you’ve never seen or used a sanitizer like this it’s all pretty user-friendly. Do you remember the five-second rule as a kid? Well, this Sharper Image one is governed by the five-minute rule. Yup, in just five minutes your items will be almost 100% free of gross microorganisms. I absolutely recommend using the aromatherapy function. Sometimes these sanitizers can leave your stuff smelling slightly zapped. ::insert shrug emoji:: But anything you can think of will get all-around disinfection in this little pod. Earbuds, toothbrushes, watches, keys, glasses, and jewelry are all ready to be germ-free and keep you safer in a newer cleaner world.

If you’ve read a few of our pieces on SideDeal before and you like what you’ve seen they offer a $5 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders no matter how many. Otherwise, it’s a flat rate of $8.

Aukey EP-T27 Wireless Earbuds | $32 | Use Code 2LZVP6JY
Image: Sheilah Villari

As I’ve been testing a myriad of products from Aukey and one thing is certain, each is great quality for the price. For the rest of the week and take 36% off Aukey’s EP-T27 Wireless Earbuds with the code 2LZVP6JY.

A feature all these earbuds have is how well they filter out background noise making it not only a better listening experience but a better communicating experience. Part of this is because there are four microphones in the earbuds with the best noise reduction tech making calls of all types much more enjoyable. The charging power on each Aukey product is pretty accurate and these ones fall right in line. So you’ll get about twenty-five hours of playtime with the case and expect the earbuds to last around five hours when they’re fully charged. It takes two hours to get them fully juiced up. These are comfy and waterproof so great for workouts and long wear.

The ship free for Prime members.


Echo Studio | $170 | Amazon
Echo Studio | $170 | Amazon

If you’re in need of a proper dance session, you should maybe invest in an Echo Studio. It’s $170, which is about $30, or 15% percent off the original list price of $200. Since this bad boy is new and adaptive to all living spaces and gives a broad range of dynamic sound while keeping the cool murder robot technology y’all call convenient, the 15%, while a little low, is what we think is pretty decent this time around. So, if you’re gearing up for Biden’s eventual $2k stimulus, this can be the perfect splurge. If not, it may be best to wait until the price goes down a bit to invest in a decent speaker. But don’t ask me when it’ll go any lower, I’m not a psychic... or am I?


Jabra Elite 75t | $130 | Best Buy

True wireless earbuds aren’t a niche category anymore. If the Apple-exclusive AirPods are off the table, and you’d rather not get a cheap AirPods knockoff on Amazon, the Jabra Elite 75t earbuds are a great alternative. Their sound quality is among the best in the category, and they’ve got enough battery life to keep your tunes playing all day thanks to the included charging case. They’re also IP57 waterproof, so they should be able to handle a splash or two without much trouble.

Typically, they’ll run you $150, but a pair is down to $130 at Best Buy right now, so you can finally walk around the house without worrying about your headphones snagging on something anymore.


Mkeke 20W USB C Charger | $6 | Amazon | Promo code 506IGRWV
Mkeke 20W USB C Charger | $6 | Amazon | Promo code 506IGRWV

The iPhone 12 does not come with a charger in the box, so you might be finding yourself in need of one. You can snag this universal fast charging USB C block for just $6 with promo code 506IGRWV. Of course, you’ll still need to buy a compatible cable.

This Mkeke block is compatible with “any USB-C enabled device supporting 20w fast charging.” So this includes popular devices like the iPad, Nintendo Switch, Samsung Galaxy mobile phones after the S8, and iPhones after the iPhone 8. It can also work fine with accessory charging like the AirPods.

This still means you might need a charging cable! There is an assortment of options for lightning cables to USB C, which will be used for most up-to-date iPhones and Apple devices:

My personal preference is to go for a 10-foot option when available. It’s just more convenient when you have limited outlets, or if you want to be able to comfortably reach your phone while in bed and charging.

The weather outside has been chilly in my region, which makes me mostly want to relax on the couch with a new show to binge— or an old one. I’ve just started Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as a way to try and drown out the noise and mayhem of the news cycle for a bit. There’s something so relaxing about revisiting the nostalgia of the 90s. The scrunchies and spaghetti-strapped tops, and even the occasional oversized flannel stick out now to my 2021 sensibilities. Plus Buffy just hits different watching as an adult, and more than the fashion is drawing my attention this time around—Teens went to clubs after school? Giles is actually the hot one now that I’m getting older? What?

Whether you want to watch all the 90s hits or you want to get tuned in to the news, there’s an app for that on this Westinghouse 65" LED 4K Roku tv. The convenience of a smart tv like this one for just $400 right now at Best Buy.

Best Buy has halved the price of Amazon’s Echo Show 5 device, which enables anyone to place the device in their kitchen or room of choice and speak to their family and friends in a video call. Alongside the standard Amazon Alexa features, it can also be used as a nightstand with many clock face designs, so it can be tailored to your tastes, plus it can stream video and control smart home devices.

Is your Wi-Fi lagging behind? Well throw your current router in the garbage because a trio of TP-Link mesh Wi-Fi routers are here to save the day. From now until whenever Amazon decides to ramp ‘em back up to full price, the TP-Link Deco M3, S4, and M5 are discounted by up to $20. While that’s not the most exciting discount, the S4 in particular—marked down to $135—made the cut in our rundown of the best Wi-Fi routers curated by Andrew Hayward, who’s tested a bunch! Here’s what he had to say:

TP-Link’s Deco S4 delivers the same kind of specs as the above Linksys router, with up to 867Mbps via 5GHz and 300Mbps through 2.4GHz, but does so with a multi-unit mesh design that spreads a signal across a much larger footprint. The two-pack can cover up to 3,800 square feet, while the three-pack is rated for up to 5,500 square feet.

As for the other two, the cheaper Deco M3 shouldn’t be overlooked as a budget-friendly alternative. In fact, because it uses a pair of powerful TP-Link Wi-Fi extenders, thanks to a pair of TP-Link extenders included in the box, the M3 boasts coverage of up to 4,800 square feet, about 700 less than the theoretical range of the S4. And when your talking spaces that large, that difference is inconsequential for most people. Emphasis on most. If you’re well off and/or not living in New York City, the size of your home might necessitate the extra reach. But if neither the M3 nor the S4 is fast enough, that’s a separate issue altogether. Though none of these Deco mesh routers support the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard, the M5 bumps up the speeds from AC1200 (1.2Gbps) to AC1300 (1.3Gbps) because sometimes 1,300Mb makes all the difference.


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.

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.

Screenshot: CD Projekt Red

We all knew this day was coming. Ever since Cyberpunk 2077 launched just about a month ago, it’s seemed pretty clear that a price drop was imminent. A wave of bad press really hurt the game’s word of mouth, despite the fact that it reportedly sold over 13 million units. Whether or not this is directly related to all of the fallout, you can now get Cyberpunk 2077 on PC for $34. Head over to Eneba and use the code KINJAPUNK2077 at checkout to get the discount on a GOG key. There’s a good chance that this could just be a one-off deal, since Eneba just sort of does it’s own thing, but it’ll be interesting to see if this kicks off a new discount trend. Either way, be warned that the game is still being heavily worked on and might not be an optimal experience if your rig isn’t fully up to date.

12 Month EA Play Subscription | $23 | Eneba | Use code EAPLAYXGPU
12 Month EA Play Subscription | $23 | Eneba | Use code EAPLAYXGPU

Here’s a bit of modern alchemy for you. EA Play is now part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Because of that, Microsoft actually coverts any EA Play subscriptions into Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions if you’re already a Game Pass Ultimate member. So if you buy 12 months of EA Play, it actually extends your Game Pass Ultimate subscription another four months. It’s a little bit of a head-scratcher, so check Microsoft’s FAQ for exact details here. If you’re looking for a cheap way to extend your Game Pass subscription in a roundabout way, Eneba is selling one year of EA Play for $23 when you use the code EAPLAYXGPU at checkout. Since Game Pass Ultimate is $15 a month, that means you’re getting an extra few months free here. Just remember that this only works if you’re already subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate, so this won’t work for new members.

Well, last week certainly wasn’t ideal. I’m not sure anyone really thought 2021 would be less stressful than 2020, but we hoped all the same. Unfortunately, January’s already looking like a wash, so it’s already time to pack it in. If you’re looking for a joyful distraction from everything, Katamari Damacy Reroll is on sale for $20. If you’ve never played the original, it’s especially worth revisiting this oddball classic about a little spaceman who rolls everything on Earth up into a giant ball. You can imagine that you’re rolling up all of your various anxieties and turn the game into a colorful bit of stress relief. Whatever helps at this point.

Remember the iconic scene in Penny Marshall’s Big in which Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia visit FAO Schwartz and perform “Heart and Soul” and “Chopsticks” by hopping around the giant Walking Piano? If not, check it out: it’s a joyful couple of minutes that we all could use right now.

Better yet, Amazon has this Click N’ Play Gigantic Piano Playmat on sale for just $31 today, a savings of $49. While not nearly to the scale of the movie version, this budget alternative measures nearly seven feet wide with 24 keys, and has eight different instrument sounds to choose from.

Amazon customer reviews are widely positive, with a 4.5-star rating, although some customers say it gets very, very loud. Writes one reviewer: “Holy crap. This might be the most annoying thing I’ve ever purchased. I don’t know what I was thinking and I’m sad it works so well.” Now that’s a ringing endorsement.

Hitman 3 is just around the corner, opening the floodgate for 2021's new video games. If you’re looking to preorder the game, check out our guide here. In the meantime, it’s a good time to catch up on the rest of the series or just try one of the older games out to see if it’s your bag. Eneba is currently selling Hitman 2 Gold Edition for $10, which is a perfect price for curious gamers. Just checkout with the promo code BARCODEHEAD2 and you’ll receive a PC code for the game. The recent Hitman games are excellent puzzlers masquerading as stealth games, so even if Hitman 3 isn’t on your radar, it’s a good entry point for the wickedly creative series.

The good thing about this article is that it’s predictable. I’m not trying to freak you out with a left-field jump scare. I’m going to tell you about a deal and there’s no surprises. I’m not like that Freddy guy. So let me give it to you straight: you can pre-order Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Core Collection for $34, which saves you a few bucks off its normal $40 price tag. The package includes the first four games in the infamous horror series, as well as Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location. That’s it folks. You can now leave this article without the fear of being BWAAHHHHHHH! Okay, I guess that doesn’t really work in text, huh?


Astral Chain | $45 | Best Buy
Astral Chain | $45 | Best Buy

The past few months have been particularly quiet for the Nintendo Switch. Other than Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, there just haven’t been a lot of big exclusives on the console since Paper Mario: The Origami King. That’ll change soon when games like Bravely Default 2 and Monster Hunter Rise drop, but we’ve still got a little way’s to go. In the meantime, it’s a good excuse to dig into the Switch’s back catalogue. Astral Chain is a good place to start and it’s on sale for $45 right now. Developed by PlatinumGames, the action title revolves around a unique combat mechanic where you control different beasts on a leash. You can use the chain to tie enemies up, intercept rushing attacks, and more. It’s the kind of clever combat mechanic we’ve come to expect from PlatinumGames over the years, so it’s worth checking this one out if you’re a fan of games like The Wonderful 101 or Bayonetta.


Waluigi Stuffed Plush | $16 | Amazon

Wario Stuffed Plush | $20 | Amazon

[UPDATE: Liz here. So, an earlier version of this deal, left below in its entirety, speculated that Wario and Waluigi are brothers— a common assumption. I was curious, so I googled the answer and found an archived Kombo article with Charles Martinet (voice actor for Mario), who explained that he doesn’t think the duo are brothers, but are instead “just two nice, evil guys who found each other.” I personally want to believe that, and thought it would be nice to share that little tidbit in all its wholesome goodness—along with the deal which is still going on these adorable little plushies below. Check it out!]

Here at The Inventory, you’ve probably noticed that we love Wario. Anytime you see one of our daily deal round-ups, you’ll see the jolly yellow villain with his gaping maw wide open. That’s because someone has to rep Wario while his brother (?) gets all the attention. For some reason that is still unclear to me, everyone loves Waluigi. Maybe a little too much, in some ways. The Purple Prince is a style icon, not unlike Marilyn Monroe. The day that he gets added to Super Smash Bros. is probably the day the world ends. Regardless of who you love more, you can now invite both horrible men into your home like vampires. Amazon has a 12.5" Waluigi plush on sale $16 today, so I dare you to put your money where your mouth is. For us, we’ll stick to this 10" Wario plush, which is down to $20.

If you just couldn’t possibly choose between the two, you can always buy both of them together for $45.

New consoles means new controllers. While Sony got fancy with the DualSense, the new Xbox Series X|S controller is much simpler. It’s exactly what you’ve come to expect from an Xbox controller over the years, and that’s not a knock against it. The new Xbox Wireless Controller feels natural with its lightweight design, textured triggers, and hybrid D-pad. It’s also Bluetooth enabled, making it easy to switch it over to your computer. Even if you don’t have an Xbox, it’s a great choice for PC or mobile gamers looking for a solid controller. Best Buy is currently running a sale on the Xbox Wireless Controller, with the black and white models at $50 (the blue one is slightly more at $55). That’s $10 off the usual price, so it’s a good time for anybody with local multiplayer ambitions to stock up.


Nintendo Switch Split Pad Pro | $40 | Amazon

For those who love to play their Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, the joy-cons can leave a bit to be desired. The tiny controllers are ingenious in some ways, but far from what you’d call “traditional.” Gamers seeking a more familiar setup usually opt to upgrade to a Pro Controller, but that’s not really a perfect solution when you want to play on-the-go. There’s a more creative option available, if you’re willing to go the third-party route. Hori’s Split Pad Pro essentially replaces your joy-cons with a traditional controller split in half. The add-on clips onto your Switch like a normal joy-con and includes grips, a traditional D-pad, back buttons, and even a Turbo button. It’s a total reimagining of the Switch’s control scheme that’s built for people who want that good old controller feel. Amazon currently has it on sale for $40, so give it a try if you’re itching for a different setup.

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!

Finally, you can grab a Buffy pillow or two for half off as well to go along with your purchase, just $20 for a standard-size or $30 for a luxurious king-size pillow.

This full chonky boy is stuffed to the brim with all the fluff and white down cotton filling they could get in there. With soft velvety polyester on the outside, the sweet sea critter is ready for hugging. Take $6 off this comforting creature for the rest of the day.

It’s fourteen inches long and a great gift for any age. Seals are natural clowns of the ocean and this replica’s adorable face will perk up any room you place it in. As this plush is not just cute it obviously doubles as a large pillow for lounging, cuddling, and of course naps. There is also an equally charming sloth and puppy available in the same size. But in my opinion, nothing beats this chubby water dog.

Union & Scale FlexFit Dexley Mesh Chair | $150 | Staples
Union & Scale FlexFit Dexley Mesh Chair | $150 | Staples
Graphic: Gabe Carey

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.


Dyson V7 Fluffy | $200 | Newegg
Dyson V7 Fluffy | $200 | Newegg
Graphic: Elizabeth Lanier

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!

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!

TODAY’S BEST LIFESTYLE DEALS

With less than a month to go until Super Bowl Sunday, we’ve narrowed it down to 14 teams that could possibly wind up competing in Tampa, Florida on February 7. While I don’t know much about football as a sport, I do find it hilarious that every time a team gets eliminated from the playoffs, their merch is discounted significantly, almost as a consolation prize for the fans. This is 100% the case for the New York Jets, New England Patriots, and Houston Texans, whose logo-blasted Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 37 running shoes can be found on the Nike website for a steep 50% off.

A number other teams’ sneakers are on sale, too, including the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Curiously, the Colts- and Bears-themed kicks are also marked down a bit, despite still being in the race. So I don’t know what that’s all about. Maybe Nike’s placing wagers? You can browse the whole selection here, though bear in mind a good chunk are sold out because of course they are, it’s football season. But these runners aren’t all about the looks or logos. While we haven’t reviewed the Pegasus 37, our resident shoe expert Tres Dean wrote about its predecessor, aptly named the Pegasus 36, in his summer running guide last June.

Nike’s Pegasus is one of the more esteemed and long-lasting lines in the modern landscape of running shoes and the Nike Pegasus 36 shows that isn’t changing any time soon. The 37th iteration of the shoe recently hit stores, though it hasn’t been out quite long enough for us to deliver a verdict on how well it holds up over time. Its predecessor is another story. It’s proved a highly effective and reliable shoe for beginner and longtime runners alike, just as good for a short 5K as it is a half-marathon.

If one of your 2021 resolutions was to be more organized, you should start the year right by grabbing a 2021 monthly planner for $14. A decent $4 off the original list price of $18, you’ll be able to jot down all your meetings, hangouts, and whatever else you’d like ahead of time so you’ll always be prepared. What are you waiting for?

It’s still chilly out there and looks to be for a while, I mean even Texas saw record snowfall over the weekend. Until tomorrow time snag a few of these cozy Calvin Klein merino sweaters for 66% less and keep toasty until spring.

The CK logo is discreetly featured on this comfy long sleeve sweater so no overt labels displayed. The bottom and sleeves are ribbed knit as a classy touch. Sweaters like these are great for layering and can be dressed up or worn casually. There are thirteen colors available in this very plush and soft wool material. It’s easy to wash in the machine and will keep you warm and stylish the rest of the winter.

These will ship for free.

Unless you’re in a state that sucks for other reasons, winter can be brutal, especially during a pandemic when the only things you can safely do in public are outdoors. It’s no surprise, then, that outdoor heaters have taken the restaurant world by storm. And if you’re lucky enough to have a yard or plan outdoor getaways in these difficult times, the global health crisis has breathed new life into non-commercial heaters as well, keeping you toasty through even the most frigid temperatures.

Among the best outdoor heater brands is Mr. Heater, creator of the BuddyFlex heater and BuddyFlex cooker, both of which are on sale for 30% off, bringing the heater down to $105 and the cooker to just $52. Though it’s redundant in name, the Mr. Heater heater is far from useless. In fact, the device radiates warmth—in all directions—for up to 2 hours on high and up to 3.5 hours on the low setting. It’s also wind-reistant and lets out between 6,000 and 1,000 British thermal units (BTUs) with up to 275 square-feet of coverage. The BuddyFlex cooker, on the other hand, has a 4,000- to 8,000-BTU range with a 28" quick-connect hose that can be paired with the aforementioned heater.

For a mere $7 more than you’d otherwise pay for the heater alone at full price, you might as well pick up both and treat you, or your clientele, to an unforgettable night spent outdoors. And with a seemingly neverending stream of chaos dragging us all down, nothing sounds more delightful right now.

A good durable water bottle that’s easy to clean and safe to drink from is what everyone strives for. Takeya Actives bottles are just that. These insulated bottles keep your beverages hot for up to twelve hours on a chilly mountain trail and cold up twenty-four hours in the dead of summer at the beach. Amazon currently has a variety of them on sale.

There are a lot of styles of Takeya Actives discounted which you can see on the page for this particular product. But this rosy blush one is a steal for $20 because of its 32 oz. size and because it includes the straw.

Several other colors and sizes are available to fit your vibe. Mostly the 40 oz. ones seem to be at great prices, $22 and up! All of these Takeya bottles are BPA free and come from a company with over 55 years of Japanese design and ingenuity.

Free shipping for Amazon Prime members.

Between everything going on in our country right now and— oh yeah, the freaking pandemic— you’ve got a lot of stress. This combined with frequent mask-wearing is sure to bring about some stress-induced acne or just tired-out skin that needs a refresh.

One thing that could help you avoid mask acne (also known as maskne)? Rinse your mouth of bacteria with an antiseptic mouthwash before donning that N95. This lifehack is confirmed as potentially helpful at preventing more blemishes by Dr. Rachel Nazarian via Byrdie: “I’ve found that by decreasing the bacteria in the mouth, you’re not rebreathing as much bacteria onto the skin, and that can help preserve the natural flora and pH of the skin much more effectively.”

Any antiseptic mouthwash should do, so there’s a good chance you already have some mouthwash in your bathroom now. If not, grab a bottle of Listerine Cool Mint or Listerine Ultraclean for $5 or any other standby favorite. You’ll be taking extra care of your oral health as well as your skin! And if you’re just here for that cloth Homestar Runner mask in the pic, that can be found right here.

Of course, you gotta take care of your skin if you want it to look good. Heal individual blemishes with these Rael Acne Pimple Healing Patches, down to only $10 right now. Why not treat it to one of these Korean beauty favorites? Exfoliate with these cute and functional Pibuwang pads to bring a pre-2020 glow to your skin, or this gentle Cosrx Poreless Power liquid. Followup with a hydrating and gentle Derma Premium Korean hydrating sheet mask— a 5-pack is only $11 right now!

Another K-beauty favorite is this I’M FROM Mugwort mask, which calms irritated skin for $31. There’s also this healing overnight honey mask from Cosrx for just $12. Whatever your mood or needs, keep the mask out of your hair with this super cute Etude House cat ears hair band for $7.

Some of these skincare deals are only available for a limited time. You know what to do!

For most of us, it will still be a while until we can get our vaccines. Some of you might be missing the dentist, while others might be relishing in the excuse not to go. Regardless of how much you’ve been taking advantage of the COVID excuse to avoid certain things, we’ve got all a deal all of you should take advantage of for your teeth and gum health!

This Homgeek water flosser is down to $28 right now when you clip the $5 coupon and add promo code KINJA0010 at checkout.

If you’re looking for a long-wear lipstick with good color that won’t smudge Marc Jacobs Le Marc Crème Lipsticks are some of the best. I was gifted the color Boy Gorgeous, a berry rouge, for my birthday a few years ago and I wore it to death. I’ve since gone on to purchase the color Vinyl Dreams and haven’t been disappointed. Take 50% off five cream colors right now at Sephora.

These lipsticks are rich in pigment and glide on smoothly. They will absolutely get you through the bulk of the day. The suggested time is about 10 hours for one application and that seems about right. Marc Jacobs is synonymous with luxury and these lipsticks have that vibe for sure. The tube is even chic with each lipstick encased in a slick black home. My lips have never felt dry post wear. This is probably due to the antioxidant-rich seaberry and cocoa butter in each stick. There’s a subtle vanilla scent to each too. This is an awesome deal if you are looking to try this brand or make a few shade upgrades to your collection.

Free shipping on all orders with the code FREESHIP.


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.


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.


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.

Director Christopher Nolan’s pointed insistence that his latest spectacle-filled film, Tenet, be viewed in theaters hit an unavoidable hurdle in the form of the pandemic... and the fact that the film still released despite the circumstances proved very divisive indeed. You might have a take on it! I sure do.

In any case, if you resisted the FOMO and waited to safely watch the epic time-bending thriller, now’s your chance: Tenet hit home media less than a month ago, and it’s already marked down to $15 on Blu-ray/DVD or $20 for a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray at Amazon. Both physical discs come with a digital code, as well, so you’ve got options.


The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian | $32 | Amazon

Star Wars art books are a real treat for fans, as the hefty hardcover tomes pack in hundreds of pieces of concept art complete with behind-the-scenes creative tidbits. And now we can do the same for The Mandalorian.

Released last month, The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian serves up 256 pages of gorgeous insight on the creation of the show’s first season. While it probably won’t give you canon story details about The Child, at least you can see how this whole wonderful thing came together. And right now, it’s 20% off the list price at Amazon.

If you’re looking for even more Mando reading material for the months ahead, you can pre-order February’s The Mandalorian: The Art & Imagery Collector’s Edition Vol. 2 and July’s The Mandalorian: The Ultimate Visual Guide, each 10% off the list price.


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.

JBuds Air True Wireless Earbuds | $40 | Amazon
JBuds Air True Wireless Earbuds | $40 | Amazon
Image: Sheilah Villari

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
Adidas Sports iPhone 11 Case with Grip Stand | $28 | Amazon
Image: Sheilah Villari

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 15% off right now when you clip the coupon 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.

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.


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.
