As fun as the rainbow effects of Philips Hue bulbs can be, white is also a color.

This Philips Hue White A19 Dimmable LED Smart Bulb 4-Pack sticks with that, the most basic and useful of lighting colors. It does come with a hub, though, so if you want to add more unusual shades to your lighting design later on, you’ll be good to go.



Kindle Paperwhite (2018) | $100 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Basically every device Amazon makes was on sale for Black Friday, with one glaring exception: The new, waterproof, Bluetooth-equipped Kindle Paperwhite. So if you were holding out on a deal for all your pool and bathtub reading needs, your patience has been rewarded today with a $30 discount.



Amazon Fire TV | $25 | Amazon

Amazon Fire TV 4K | $35 | Amazon

Amazon Fire TV Cube | $70 | Amazon

Amazon Fire TV Recast 500GB | $190 | Amazon

Amazon Fire TV Recast 1TB | $230 | Amazon

Amazon Fire TV Recast 500GB + Antenna + Fire TV Stick 4K | $245 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Amazon has quietly come out with a pretty exciting lineup of Fire TV streaming gadgets over the past few months, and they all just went back on sale, either for their Black Friday prices, or very close to them.

You can get a regular Fire TV Stick for $25, but it’s almost definitely worth spending $10 more to get the new version, which supports 4K, HDR, and Dolby Atmos audio.

Moving up the line, the Fire TV Cube is essentially a Fire TV 4K with an Echo Dot built in, allowing you to control your TV with your voice, totally hands-free. It’s also on sale for $70, or $50 off its original price.

But perhaps the most interesting device here is the new Fire TV Recast. This DVR is designed explicitly for cord cutters, and works with any OTA antenna. Rather than plugging straight into your TV, it broadcasts live or recorded shows over Wi-Fi to your Fire TV, an Amazon Echo Show, or any iOS or Android device, no matter where you are in the world. Both the two-tuner 500GB and four-tuner 1TB models are on sale (albeit for $10 more than Black Friday), and you can also save by buying a bundle that includes a Fire TV Stick 4K and an antenna.



Netgear Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem | $45 | Amazon
Graphic: Elizabeth Zimmerman

As amazing as the internet is, it won’t be of much use to you without a modem. In the market for one? This Netgear Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem is just $45 when you clip the $10 coupon on the page. It hasn’t been cheaper since last Black Friday.



Anker Slim 5-in-1 Premium USB C Hub, Ethernet Port, 4K HDMI, 3 USB 3.0 Ports | $40 | Amazon | Promo code ANKERC331

Anker 5-in-1 Premium USB C Hub, SD/TF Card Reader, 3 USB 3.0 Ports | $22 | Amazon | Promo code ANKERC322

Anker 4-in-1 Premium 60W PD Hub, with 3 USB 3.0 Ports | $26 | Amazon | Promo code ANKERC832
Graphic: Shep McAllister

USB-C will be truly ubiquitous one of these days, but for the next few years at least, owners of USB-C laptops will probably want to carry a dongle or two.

Several of Anker’s highly rated adapters are on sale right now. Just be sure to note the promo codes so you get the lowest prices.



4K Television Rollbacks | Walmart
Graphic: Tercius Bufete

If you failed to pull the trigger on a big, beautiful new TV during Deals Week, Walmart is blowing out a bunch of TVs. Full disclosure: Most are basic sets and lack fancy features you’d expect from a TV in 2018, like HDR and apps.

Advertisement

But if you’re on a budget, need a spare TV for an extra room in your house, and it doesn’t have to be the best of the best, these are worth a look.



Netgear 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch | $16 | Amazon
Graphic: Tercius Bufete

Sometimes the number of built-in LAN ports in your sexy, modern router isn’t enough. Luckily there’s a cheap solution: Networking switches, like this $16 Netgear 8-Port model.

Advertisement

Right now it’s the cheapest we’ve ever seen on Amazon and about $7 less than average going rate.

It functions a lot like powerstrip or HDMI splitter but for ethernet. For stuff that requires hardline connections, such as gaming consoles and smart home hubs, switches work like a dream. Perhaps the best part, discount aside, is its plug-and-play functionality.



Sharp 65″ Class 4K Ultra HD TV | $480 | Walmart
Graphic: Tercius Bufete

Go big or go home, that’s what I always say. And with this deal from Walmart, you can go home to a bigass TV for just $480.

Advertisement

This internet-capable model features 4K HDR panel which is unlikely to top any list, but if size and budget are your only concerns, this is a worth a serious consideration. It can also work well as a spare TV for an extra room in your home.



HP DeskJet 2622 All-in-One Printer | $21 | Amazon
Graphic: Tercius Bufete

Listen up, nerds. This is a cheap, piece-of-shit printer and you should buy it right now.

Advertisement

If you own a compatible HP printer, like this HP DeskJet 2622, you can get free printouts (until this garbage printer falls apart) thanks to HP’s Instant Ink service.

Here’s how it works: You sign up for the program, the printer monitors your monthly page count, and it contacts HP to order ink refills when you run low.

There’s a supposed monthly fee based on the number of pages you print, but here’s the important bit: Instant Ink offers a 15-page-per-month plan free of charge. Yes, that’s 15 Amazon return labels or 15 photos every month, for free.

Advertisement

Cheaper printers like this one are sold below cost so that the manufacturer can recoup those losses through cartridge sales. But if you’re careful about how you use HP Instant Ink, you can get away with never paying for cartridges again.

If you have room in your house, this all-in-one model is a no-brainer. (And if you are someone who does print regularly, don’t buy a cheap printer. Go with a monochrome laser printer, invest in a reservoir printer, or actually use HP Instant Ink. It is a seriously good program.)



Logitech Harmony Elite | $230 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

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

Advertisement

My favorite feature though? The included Harmony Hub that turns your smartphones, Echoes, and Google Homes into fully-functional remotes; perfect for when you’ve inevitably lost the actual remote in the couch cushions. $230’s a pretty penny, but it’s the best price we’ve ever seen by $10, and deals on this usually only go as low as $250.


Anker’s reader-favorite PowerCore battery packs run the gamut from tiny tubes that fit into your pocket to massive blocks of energy that can power your devices for days at a time. Today’s deal is quite firmly in the latter camp.

The PowerCore Speed 20000 is one of the few battery packs on the market with USB-C Power Delivery up to 22.5W. That means it can charge a 12″ MacBook at nearly full speed, a Nintendo Switch at full power while you’re playing Zelda on a plane, or an iPad Pro significantly faster than the charger it came with (if you have a USB-C to Lightning cable).

Advertisement

Power Delivery works both ways too, so you can actually recharge the entire battery pack with the included 30W USB-C wall charger, which will refill it in a fraction of the time of a standard 2A USB charger, and can be used as a spare USB-C charger for your other gear when it’s not refilling the battery.

While its capacity is slightly smaller than the similarly equipped PowerCore+ 26800, it’s dramatically lighter, and probably the better choice for most travelers. They’ve marked it down to $78 today, from the usual $100, and it would make a great gift for anyone who owns a Switch or MacBook.



RAVPower 6700mAh Battery Pack/Wall Charger Combo | $22 | Amazon | Promo code KINJAQFF

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

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



Pop Sockets Swappable 3 Packs | $20 | Pop Sockets | Promo code 5OFF3PACKS
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Even if Pop Sockets aren’t really your thing, if you have any teens on your holiday shopping list, they’ll almost certainly love to get one of these swappable three-packs. Each set comes with one Socket and three interchangeable face plates, and you can get the pack of your choice for $20 with promo code 5OFF3PACKS.



Tile Mate | $10 | Amazon
Graphic: Chelsea Stone

If you lose your keys, or your bag, or your phone, you don’t have to lose your mind, too. Prepare for any bouts of forgetfulness with this Tile Mate, now just $10. The tiny Bluetooth tracker pairs with your phone and beeps when you push a button on the smartphone app, so you can find what you’re looking for. And if you’ve lost your phone, press a button on the Tile to make your phone beep, too. And if you’ve lost both your phone and the Tile, probably time to reevaluate your priorities.

Advertisement

Just kidding, the Tile community can help you track down the Mate, while this thing called the “Find My iPhone” should be able to help with the phone. Cool? Cool. Yes, it’s an older Tile model, but at that price, it’s a Mate worth getting acquainted with.



Anker SoundCore 2 | $30 | Amazon

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

Advertisement

http://deals.kinja.com/your-favorite-cheap-bluetooth-speaker-is-ankers-soundco-1768485500

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



Soundcore Truly-Wireless Earbuds, Liberty Lite by Anker | $45 | Amazon
Graphic: Tercius Bufete

Anker’s entry-level truly wireless headphones are available for just $45 today, the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

Advertisement

Like the Liberty headphones before it, the Liberty Lites will run for 3.5 hours on a single charge. The Lite’s charging case only holds an extra 9 hours worth of battery, vs. 24 hours for the Liberty, and 48 for the Liberty+. Still, that’s enough juice for an entire workday or a flight from New York to Los Angeles.



Anker PowerPort Cube | $20 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

We’ve seen power cubes with more ports and outlets from other manufacturers, but Anker’s take on the category has a few nice touches.

Advertisement

While it leaves one side of the cube empty, it does come with adhesive pads that let you mount it on a wall or underneath a desk. It normally sells for $26, but you can get it for just $20 today — the cheapest it’s been.



Anker PowerCore 10000 Redux | $26 | Amazon
Graphic: Anker

Anker makes just about every capacity of PowerCore battery pack imaginable, but the company’s 10,000mAh packs have always been among their most popular. And now, just in time for the holidays, they squeezed that much juice into a shockingly small new package.

Advertisement

The PowerCore 10000 Redux is only 4.1” x 2″ x 1″, and weighs only 6.6 ounces, making it the smallest 10,000mAh battery pack we’ve ever seen. And of course, Anker’s PowerIQ technology is built in, meaning you’ll get the fastest possible charging speed no matter what you plug in. There’s even a special trickle charge mode for low-draw devices like Bluetooth headphones, which often don’t draw enough power to keep USB battery packs “awake.”

The Redux only just came out, and retails for $34, but it’s marked down to $26 this week, making it a perfect stocking stuffer idea.



Sonos One | $179 | Sonos

Sonos One Two-Pack | $348 | Sonos

Sonos One HAY Edition | $209 | Sonos | Five colors available

Sonos Connect:Amp | $399 | Sonos
Photo: Sonos

It’s $5 more expensive than it was on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but if anyone on your shopping list (yourself included) would like an Alexa-enabled, incredible-sounding Sonos One speaker, they’re $20 off right now, which is the second best deal we’ve ever seen. Or, you can buy two and save $50, which is a match for Black Friday.

Advertisement

Unlike Black Friday though, that $20 discount is also valid on the new, limited-edition HAY Sonos Ones. They’re priced $30 higher than black and white, even on sale, but you get to pick from five designer colors.

The $100 Connect:Amp discount also made a comeback. This device basically turns any unpowered speaker pair into a Sonos smart speaker, compatible with streaming services and multi-room audio.



Samsung U3 32GB MicroSD Card | $6 | Amazon

Samsung U3 64GB MicroSD Card | $11 | Amazon

Samsung U3 128GB MicroSD Card | $20 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

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

Advertisement

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

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

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

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

Cuisinart DBM-8 Burr Grinder | $37 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

It’s easy to see why Cuisinart’s DBM-8 electric burr coffee grinder is one of Amazon’s top sellers in the category. It’s affordable, it’s dead simple to use, it includes 18 coarseness settings, and it looks great. It’s also down to just $37, so perk up and lock in your order before it sells out.



20% off Dyson Orders | eBay | Promo code JOYOFDYSON
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Dyson’s eBay outlet is always a great place to save on Dyson gear, but for a limited time, you can save an extra 20% on the already-discounted prices with promo code JOYOFDYSON, including vacuums, fans, and even hair dryers. They sell a lot of new stuff on eBay, but the best deals are on the refurbs. Either way, they’re sold directly by Dyson; this isn’t a sketchy third party situation.

Advertisement

My favorite pick here would be the cordless Dyson V7 Animal (refurbished) for $168. If you want a corded upright, the Dyson Cinetic doesn’t require a filter, and is a great option at $248. Just don’t forget the code!

The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer would be an amazing holiday gift for anyone who…dries their hair, and $224 with code JOYOFDYSON for a certified refurb is an absolute steal.



Instant Pot 6 Qt. Inner Cooking Pot | $22 | Amazon | Clip the 5% coupon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

You probably already own an Instant Pot, but today’s a great opportunity to save on an extra inner cooking pot, so you can use your appliance two nights in a row without washing dishes.

Yes, it’s a little thing, but it’ll make your kitchen experience meaningfully better. Spare pots don’t go on sale very often—the last discount we saw from its usual $30 was on Prime Day, and before that, January—so if you think you might want one, don’t miss out. Just be sure to clip the 5% coupon on the page to maximize your savings (though it’s a good deal even without the coupon)

Owning a second pot also means that you can use your pots as leftover containers, without transferring to another container. You’ll want one of these tight-fitting silicone lids though.



Eufy SpaceView Baby Monitor | $119 with Promo Code KINJABMM | Amazon

Wi-Fi connected home security cameras have largely taken over the baby monitor market, but nobody would blame you for feeling anxious about streaming a live video feed of your baby to the cloud.

Advertisement

If you’d prefer to keep things local, Anker’s new Eufy SpaceView is a great all-in-one solution for just $119 via code KINJABMM (down from the usual $170).

The pan and tilt camera streams in 720p (most baby monitors are a paltry 240p) directly to the included LCD screen, over distances of up to 460′, no Wi-Fi required. Somewhat ingeniously, Anker also included a detachable wide angle lens that expands the camera’s view up to 110°, so you can more easily keep an eye on your toddler when she starts to move around the room on her own.



Pioneer Woman Kitchen Appliances | $25+ | Walmart

There’s something weirdly soothing about Ree Drummond. She just seems so serene that it’s comforting, and you know that, with her, the farmhouse aesthetic is wholly authentic.

Make your life a little bit more like hers like with the newly released line of Pioneer Woman Kitchen Appliances, all on sale today. Well, almost all — there’s an Instant Pot in the mix, but it’s not marked down. Everything else is between $25 and $35, and you can save even more if you choose to buy a bundle.

Will these devices make you an expert at country cooking? No, not automatically. But you have to start somewhere, and obtaining the proper tools for the job is the first step in mastering any cuisine.



Gourmia Immersion Sous Vide Pod Circulator | $57 | Amazon

Sous-vide’s ease-to-results ratio is so good, it’ll feel like you’re cheating at cooking.

If you haven’t already gotten yourself a circulator, you can fix that today for just $57.

This Gourmia model has never been cheaper, and if you buy it now you’ll have time to master it before your big holiday meals. Honestly, what are you waiting for?



Arctic King 5-Cubic-Foot Chest Freezer | $149 | Walmart
Graphic: Elizabeth Zimmerman

You know you’re officially an adult when a chest freezer makes it onto your wish list, even if it’s only in a vague “that would be nice to have” sense. Whether it would live in your garage or right in the kitchen, it’s a life improvement you can’t fully appreciate until you’ve grown up.

With the Arctic King 5-Cubic-Foot Chest Freezer, on sale for $149 at Walmart, you’ll finally have a place to stash your stock of frozen foods. And no judgment if it’s nothing but cartons of Halo Top. We all have our weaknesses.

Magicfly Moon Lamp, 5.9 Inch | $20 | Amazon | Use Code YIQ3PMGN

You don’t need a rocket to get your hands on this moon; you just need $20 and promo code YIQ3PMGN. The Magicfly Moon Lamp comes with a wooden stand for easy display and makes for an utterly celestial light source in your home. This moon can shine in three hues — yellow, warm white, and bright white — all of which are controlled with just a tap, and it’s easily charged via USB. Now that’s a deal to be over the moon about.

Are your ties to your hometown stronger than, say, steel? Now you can display your love for your roots with a classy aerial-view city map, made from laser-cut and placed in a neutral 5×7 black frame. Choose one of 50 available cities for yourself or as a gift for any friends or family who’ve moved away from home. And with promo code STEELMAP giving you $7 off for a total of $23, this deal is definitely something to write home about.



Instant Pot Max | $150 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

There’s a new king of the Instant Pot world, and it just got its first significant discount ever.

Advertisement

The Instant Pot Max is the first Instant Pot to achieve steady 15 PSI pressure cooking, comparable to stovetop models. Previous models have maxed out at around 11.6 PSI, and the added pressure means that your food will cook even faster (who knew that was possible?). It can even do high pressure canning, the first electric pressure cooker to achieve USDA approval for that purpose.

Update: Sorry, it’s “positioned for approval,” but it’s not official yet.

The Max also comes with a revamped touchscreen interface—it’s come a long way from the cheap-looking bubble buttons of the DUO—and a touchscreen button to automatically vent your pressure. You can even set it to pulse, so you don’t have to stand at the counter hitting a button repeatedly for five minutes.

Advertisement

The Max came out earlier this year for $200, and it’s basically stayed there for the most part. Today though, you can pick it up for $150, easily an all-time low.

If you don’t need to can, and don’t mind waiting a few extra minutes for your food to cook, the DUO model is still on sale for $70, and the smart Wi-Fi model is still down to its Cyber Monday price of $90 as well. The DUO80 is $75 at Target.

And finally, if you’re crunched for space, the Instant Pot Duo Mini 3-Quart 7-in-1 is down to just $45. An Instant Pot for under $50!



Trtl Travel Pillow | $27 | Amazon | Clip the 10% coupon
Photo: Amazon

It might look like something Rey would wear while scouring for spare parts on Jakku, but this neck wrap is actually a travel pillow, and a great one at that.

Advertisement

The Trtl pillow uses a hidden rib system to support your neck as you doze off in your tiny coach airline seat. Just wrap Trtl around your neck, placing the ribs on whichever side you want to lay your head (including directly under your chin) pop on some noise-cancelling headphones, and try your darnedest to get some shut-eye. It looks ridiculous, sure, but I promise you that nobody on your flight cares. Honest!

In case it wasn’t obvious, the big advantage of this design is size; Trtl weighs less than 1/3 of a pound, can attach to your luggage, and is far less bulky than a memory foam pillow. While not as good as our exclusive Black Friday deal, you can get any color you want for 10% off on Amazon right now by clipping the on-page coupon. This pillow hardly ever goes on sale, and it makes a great gift, so don’t sleep on this one.



Lifetime 55 Qt. Cooler | $97 | Walmart
Graphic: Shep McAllister

It might not have the name recognition or cool factor of a YETI, but this 55 quart Lifetime cooler is a lot cheaper at just $97 today, and keeps ice frozen for up to seven days. It just met that threshold in this YouTube test, even when it was left outside in the hot sun.

Now grab this thing and go spend a week outside somewhere before the dreaded heat of summer returns.


Aged & Oar Duo Glasses and Sphere Ice Molds | 15% Off | Discount shown at checkout

Aged & Ore’s Duo Glasses were a Kickstarter hit back in February, and now, you can buy as many as you want immediate shipping, for 15% off.

Each Duo Glass is hand-blown, and has subtle 1 oz. measurement lines integrated into the design, so you can pour a perfect shot or measure a simple cocktail without dirtying up any other dishes. The best part though? They come with their own sphere ice molds that are designed to nestle perfectly at the bottom of the glass. How…cool is that?

Just note that you’ll see the 15% discount automatically at checkout. Cheers!



Eufy RoboVac 11S | $149 | Amazon | Promo code KINJAT008

Roombas get all the glory, but don’t let name recognition overshadow an excellent deal on an equally efficient, if not better, robotic vacuum. Anker’s slim Eufy RoboVac 11S is a favorite of our readers, and today, you can use promo code KINJAT008 to clean it out for just $149, the same price as Cyber Monday. The 11S is extremely quiet, extra slim for tight spaces, and it sucks up anything in its path with ease.

Meguiar’s X2000 Water Magnet | $7 | Amazon

This microfiber towel is considered by many detailing aficionados to be the best for drying off your car after you wash it. In fact, I can personally confirm that it’s less a towel and more a towel-shaped sponge. It’s also down to within a few cents of the best price Amazon’s listed all year, so grab a bunch and stuff them in stockings.



Gerber Shard Keychain Tool | $5 | Amazon
Graphic: Elizabeth Zimmerman

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

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



Rachael Ray Silicone 3-Piece Lazy Tools Set | $12 | Walmart and Amazon
Graphic: Elizabeth Zimmerman

If kitchen utensils were sentient, I imagine these would take offense to being called lazy. They have built-in notches to help them balance on the rims of your cookware. How is that lazy? If anything, it’s going above and beyond.

Advertisement

I suppose the “lazy” in “Rachael Ray Silicone 3-Piece Lazy Tools Set” ($12 at Walmart and Amazon) might be a reference to the chef who uses them, like, “ha, you’re too lazy to hold this spatula for 30 minutes while your sauce reduces.” But again, is that really lazy? To me, it seems more sensible. Let your kitchen implements handle themselves while you focus on some mise en place or something. Work smart, not hard.

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

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

BEST LIFESTYLE DEALS

It was a quietly good year for Fitbit. While all attention has turned to the Apple Watch, they released two terrific fitness tracker/smart watches in the Charge 3 and the Versa, and both are on sale today. The Charge 3 is $10 more than it was on Black Friday, but the Versa is the same price. The older Ionic is actually down to the same price as the Versa, and $50 cheaper than Black Friday.

12-Treatment Crest 3D White Vivid Plus Whitestrips Kit | $15 with code 10VIVIDSNOW | Amazon

“You know, I think my teeth have gotten too white,” said no one ever. Seriously, there’s no limit to the brightness of a perfect smile. Because of this, Amazon has the 12-Treatment Crest 3D White Vivid Plus Whitestrips Kit for $18 when you clip the $5 off coupon on the product page and apply code 10VIVIDSNOW at checkout. That’s $1.25 per treatment and a totally fair price for a smile white enough to glow in the dark.



20% Off Sitewide | Greats | Promo code HOLIDAYHERO

I know it’s obvious, but it needs to be said: Greats are great casual sneakers, and now, you can get a pair for a great deal. The relatively new, Brooklyn-based brand with the Italian-based leather is taking 20% off their whole site with promo code HOLIDAYHERO, which is really good considering most of their sneaks aren’t cheap. They are, however, worth their price.

Their classic-looking, leather-swathed Royale is made in Italy; we previously dubbed the style one of our favorite white sneakers. And, speaking from experience, they look great in not-white, too.

All of our teams suck, and yet, we love them anyway. If you need an easy gift idea for a football fan, Fanatics is bundling a team-branded tee and hat for around $20 today. A few teams (like the Packers and Seahawks) are actually only $16, and some other (the Browns?) are priced at $30, but the majority of the bundles are only $20. Even better, code FREESHIP yields — you’ll never guess — free shipping. I suggest spiking the gift at the feet of its recipient on Christmas morning.

If you want to keep track of your upcoming new year’s weight loss resolutions, the new model of Anker’s ultra-popular Bluetooth smart scale is back on sale today for just $29, in what can only be construed as a cruel joke at this time of year.

You can see my impressions of the previous model here, but it’s the most seamless and reliable smart scale I’ve ever personally used, and a great deal at $29.

Maybe you weren’t so sure about the sherpa trend at first. It can skew a little soccer mom (not that there’s anything wrong with that, as long as it’s an intentional choice), and didn’t we already cover this ground in the 70s?

But now, after seeing those pullovers ev.ery.where. for so long, you’ve decided that they do look pretty comfortable.

You can embrace the coziness in your own, slightly unexpected way with this Jason Maxwell Women’s Oversized Sherpa Jacket. (The $29 price is also way less than you’d pay for any sherpa piece almost anywhere else.) The longer silhouette is more flattering anyway, TBH, and if you’re going to go fab with your outerwear, you may as well do it big.

Bryker Hyde Quick Draw Minimalist Wallet | $21 | Amazon | Promo code Kinjadeal30

Bryker Hyde’s Quick Draw was one of the first Kickstarter wallets that we really fell in love with over here. Its key innovation was completely eliminating the bulk-adding cash pocket and replacing it with a metal money clip at the fold, but everything about the wallet from its leather to its stitching is top notch.

Nearly a year later, you can now buy the wallet on Amazon, and our readers can get it for just $21 with promo code Kinjadeal30.

Just like Black Friday, the discount this time around is $5 off $20 via code GIFTBOOK18, and it works on pretty much every single hardcover and paperback sold and shipped by Amazon.

Call me a Luddite, but ebooks are not my jam. I know that they’re more suited for travel and take up less space in your life, but given the choice, I’ll go with the literal printed word every time.

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

Tired of your kids annoying each other for fun? So was whoever invented Grumblies.

These toys are literally designed to serve as targets for bothering — the goal is to make them “melt down.” They typically cost $18 or more, but today you can get one for just $13.

If you missed out on its $80 deal on Cyber Monday, LEGO’s stunning Saturn V Apollo is back on sale for an entirely reasonable $105 right now, a $15 discount from its usual price. Needless to say, it’d be an amazing gift for any space nerd.

Advertisement

Why is it worth over $100? Well, it has 1,969 pieces (get it?), the main spacecraft is more than three feet tall when assembled, and the set allows you to simulate an entire mission, from launch to splashdown. We’re kind of bummed that it doesn’t come with a pack of astronaut ice cream for extra realism (and deliciousness!), but you can always get that at Amazon.



1 Year Humble Monthly | $99
Screenshot: Humble

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

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

If you’ve been toying with the idea of picking up one of Arcade1Up’s 3/4-sized arcade cabinets, this may be the deal to push you over the edge. The Asteroids machine has dropped to $199, $50 under the Black Friday price and the best deal so far for one of these beauties.

Not sure you can deal with the 4-foot size? It’s cool, Walmart also sells a riser to bring it up to standard height.



LEGO Batman Movie Bat-Space Shuttle | $53 | Walmart or Amazon

If I’m being honest, I don’t even remember this thing from The LEGO Batman Movie. I probably need to watch it again. But it doesn’t even matter, because you can tell just by looking that The LEGO Batman Movie Bat-Space Shuttle is pretty bat-tastic. I mean, it comes with reggae, space, and firestarter Batsuit figures! And a Bat-kayak! And a Bat-moon buggy! Once $80, it’s dropped to just $53 at Walmart at Amazon. No one’s saying you have to buy it, but… why wouldn’t you?



XCOM 2 Collection [PS4] | $30 | Walmart

XCOM 2 Collection [Xbox One] | $30 | Walmart

If you were waiting for a good discount to dive back into the world of XCOM, Walmart has marked the complete collection down to $30 on both PS4 and Xbox One today. That includes the base game, the absolutely stellarWar of the Chosen DLC, plus a few smaller DLC packs. Good luck, Commander.


Blocks Desk Toys | 40% Off | Speks | Promo code BLOCKON

There’s no such thing as having too many desk toys, and Blocks by Speks are some of the best I’ve played with so far.

Advertisement

Blocks are straight or L-shaped plastic blocks with magnets inside. They snap together into a bunch of different shapes, and are rewarding whether you’re trying to build something cohesive, or just idly fiddling with them in one hand while you use your mouse in the other, which is how I usually find myself playing with them.

You can grab a set today for just $18 with promo code BLOCKON, plus free shipping. That’s the best deal yet, so what are you waiting for? You deserve a set. (Alternatively, they’d make great stocking stuffers.)



Scooters and More from $15 | Walmart

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

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



Humble Board Games Bundle | $1+ | Humble Bundle
Graphic: Humble Bundle

Board games are super fun, but they take up a lot of real estate when your collection reaches a certain size. Humble Bundle knows that we don’t all have space for a giant cabinet of amusements, so they’ve created a digital assemblage to entertain you and take up zero room (except in your Steam library, but that’s already overflowing, so a few new additions won’t hurt).

Advertisement

For $1, they’ll give you seven ports of games like Harald and Agricola for platforms ranging from Android to Mac. Pay $7 or more to unlock 11 more games, including Pandemic and Splendor. I’m not entirely sure about the logistics of having friends over for game night when you have to sit in front of a computer to play, but I’m sure there’s a way to make it work. The human spirit is predisposed to overcome all kinds of obstacles.



12 Months Xbox Game Pass | $70 | Amazon
Graphic: Amazon

With Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft basically created the Netflix of video games, and it’s a great deal at its usual $10 per month. But for a limited time, you can get a gift card for a whole year for just $70.

Xbox Game Pass grants you access to newer releases like State of Decay 2 and Sea of Thieves, as well as classics like KOTOR and all of the Gears of War games. The only catch is that you’ll be auto-renewed at the standard rate after the year is up, but hopefully there will be another deal before that happens, right?
