Tuesday’s Best Deals: Weighted Blankets, ThermoWorks Thermapen, Bug-A-Salt Fly Gun, and More

It’s perfect to kill time before Pokemon Shield and Sword come out.

I don’t know why people got so worked up about Fallout 76 – it’s not like it was the first multiplayer Fallout game after all.

Kidding aside, the Fallout board game is excellent and cooperative, and you can pick it up for an all-time low 28 caps on Amazon today. The NPCs are even included in the box; no need to wait a year for a free update.

If your kids are a little too young to master a child’s fishing rod just yet, you don’t have to leave them home on your next fishing trip. You can get a Rocket Fishing Rod for $30 on Amazon. Even if your kids can manage the normal rod, this might be a more fun and exciting way for them to fish. It was designed to shoot up to 25 feet into the water and is meant to prevent snarls and snags.

Listen, there’s nothing wrong with getting older. But if you wish that you could stop time when it comes to your skin, consider picking up this Mario Badescu Peptide Renewal Serum, now down from its usual price of $45 to just $38. Here’s what our own Style Girlfriend had to say about it:

It’s pumped full of collagen-boosting peptides to help skin look smoother, lifted and more toned. Plus, white willow bark exfoliates to make dull skin look more radiant. Yes, radiant I said goddamnit!

When it comes to the sneaker-and-activewear space—let’s be honest—nothing really compares to Nike. And right now at Nordstrom Rack, you’ll find a whole lot of newly marked down Nike styles for men, women and, kids. Like, we’re talking over 1,600 marked-clothes, shoes, and accessories. But this sale will only last through June 15, so if you’re in need of new sneakers and/or workout gear, well, you know just what to do: it.

Everyone needs a good pair of jeans, and if you need more than one pair—or if a dad in your life needs a pair, too—this deal is for you. Right now at Levi’s Almost Father’s Day Sale, you can take up to 40% off sitewide, hence why it’s a good time to stock up. The promo applies to regular-priced and sale styles for men, women, and kids, so truly everyone can dive into some new, discounted denim.

Pssst. Hey, you. Are you wearing sunscreen on your face every day? Even on days when it’s cloudy and/or cold? I’m not here to judge if you’re not, but I am here to remind you that you absolutely should be—especially in summer! Luckily, Murad is taking 10% off all sunscreen, so you can protect your face from harmful UV rays without spending a fortune. Just use promo code BLOCKPARTY before the sun sets on this important deal.

You don’t need a special occasion to don one of Diane Von Furstenberg’s iconic patterned wrap dresses — especially since a slew of swingy styles, including a few tops, pants, and skirts, are on sale right now at Nordstrom Rack. But if you want to get wrapped up in a new DVF look for around 60% off, act quickly; the designer’s stock is already selling out.

The hotter it gets, the more you’re going to want to cool off. You can now turn your background into a sprinkler wonderland. If you have a trampoline, you can get the Bobor Trampoline Water Sprinkler Attachment for only $23, when you clip the 10% off coupon.

Some people can’t live without their coffee, but for me, it’s fizzy water and diet cola. I’ve saved hundreds of dollars over the years on the stuff by making it myself with a SodaStream, and you can too.

Today on Amazon, you can get a SodaStream Fizzi for $70, complete with a full-sized CO2 caninster, and a carbonating bottle. That’s the best price Amazon’s offered since 2017, and if you regularly buy soda or carbonated water at the store, it’ll pay for itself.

The six quart Instant Pot Ultra is down to $89 right now, a new all-time low by $10. You should buy one.

The Instant Pot Ultra features a completely revamped, dial-based UI that makes fine-tuned adjustments faster and easier than the older models. A new processor allows it to compensate for altitude and carry out completely custom programs, and it also has a few modes you won’t find on the standard Instant Pots, like cake, eggs, and sterilize.

If you’re worried that you won’t get a ton of use out of this thing, note that in addition to speedy pressure cooking, this is also our readers’ favorite slow cooker, and one of their favorite rice cookers too. It’s one of the most versatile kitchen gadgets you can own, and I use mine (this exact model) several times per week.

Amazon’s Echo Wall Clock is a revelation for the specific (but I think quite large!) subset of people who:

1) Use Alexa timers in the kitchen with some regularity.

and

2) Don’t have an Echo Show with a screen built in.

Just pop in some batteries, hang the clock, and a ring of LEDs will automatically count down the minutes and final 60 seconds of any timer you set with your voice. It’s elegant, seamless, and I can’t stand how much I love the thing.

It came out late last year for $30, but it just got only its second discount ever, down to $25. The clock is ticking on this deal though, so don’t waste any time.

To celebrate Father’s Day, everything you’d want to jump start a smart home or entertain your dad from the shopping giant is on sale right now.

Choose from a $20 Echo Input (which adds Alexa to any speaker you want), $120 Echo Plus, Echo Show 5 bundled with an Echo Show for $270, and a ton of echo Echo Dot bundles.

You can pick one up with a Fire TV Stick or one with 4K (pick this one,) or expand your smart home with a TP-Link smart plug for $45 or Sengled light bulbs for $50. Amazon’s surprisingly useful Echo Wall Clock is down to just $25, too.

Additionally, Amazon’s entire line of tablets and e-readers are also on-sale.

Fire HD 8 tablets are just $60. The new, waterproof, Bluetooth-equipped Kindle Paperwhite is down to just $100 with 10% cash back for Prime holders. And the cheaper, non-waterproof Kindle is selling for $70.

The Apple Watch as a product line may have had a rocky launch, but its latest iteration, the Series 4, is a seriously impressive leap forward. So whether you’re finally upgrading your original model, or even getting your very first wearable, it’s the one you should buy, especially on sale.

For a limited time, Amazon’s got both the 40mm and 44mm GPS versions marked down by $60, with your choice, in a few different color/band combos. The rubbery sports band looks surprisingly nice in person, while the Sport Loop is like a very high quality velcro. These discounts are taken at checkout, and you should see the coupon that will be applied on the product page. You should be looking for models that will cost $339 (40mm) or $369 (44mm) to get the best deal.

If you want to go high end, you can also save $60 on a few stainless steel models with GPS and cellular connectivity. Look for the $639 (40mm) and $689 options (44mm).

If you aren’t a professional photographer, but still value image quality and features in your drone, the DJI Mavic Air offers the best combination of portability, ease of use, and camera specs on the market.

The drone by itself usually costs $799, but Target just dropped that to $549, easily the best price we’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, this doesn’t include a carrying case or extra batteries, but it has everything you need to get started with the hobby.

I had a chance to fly one of these at Outpost this year, and as an old Phantom 2 owner, I was completely blown away. It folds up small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, but holds remarkably still in the air. Front and rear obstacle avoidance cameras keep it from crashing into a tree (or a person), and its gimbal-stabilized 4K camera can automatically track moving subjects, or perform pre-programmed shooting routines. You’ll have a ton of fun with this thing.

Unless you really need the iPad Pro (and you almost definitely do not), the standard, vanilla 2018 iPad is a terrific tablet for both consuming and creating media. It even works with the Apple Pencil, the first non-Pro iPad to do so.

While we saw slightly better deals on these around Black Friday (if you were quick enough to snag them), $249 for 32GB is still a terrific price for 32GB, and $329 is the best price we’ve seen on the 128GB model (which is the one you should probably buy). If you ask me, it’s worth buying one of these for the express purpose of playing Civilization VI on the go.

iTunes gift card discounts are noticeably less common than they used to be, so if you need more credit for apps, music, movies, iCloud storage, or anything else, buy a $100 gift card from eBay for 15% off, while supplies last.

This gift card is sold by Paypal’s eBay store, and should arrive in your inbox within four hours. Just don’t spend it all on Elder Scrolls: Blades gems.

If Amazon’s recent acquisition of eero didn’t scare you off the pioneer in mesh networking, the retailer is celebrating its new networking play-thing with big discounts across the board, for a limited time.

Advertisement

Get a an eero and an eero Beacon (which plugs straight into the wall and doubles as a night light) for $239 (a $60 discount), an eero and two beacons for $319 (an $80 discount), or for the largest and most densely constructed houses, three full eero routers for $399 (a $100 discount). To be clear, If you live in a one bedroom apartment, you don’t need any of these, but if you find that a single router doesn’t get you a reliable Wi-Fi signal in every part of your house, mesh systems like these are a godsend.

Once upon a time, Apple’s Space Gray Mac peripherals were only sold alongside the $5,000+ iMac Pro, and purchasers of that computer could get a good chunk of their money back by reselling the accessories on eBay.

Nowadays, you can buy them separately direct from Apple, albeit with a small-ish Space Gray tax, and the Magic Mouse is on sale on Amazon for an all-time low $86, which is “only” $7 more than the MSRP of the white model. That still hurts, but come on, look at the thing. It’s gorgeous.

USB-C has been great in a lot of ways, but it’s going to be a long time until all of our accessories use the new connector. So if you have a laptop, tablet, or even phone whose only physical connection to the outside world is a USB-C port, you’re going to need a dongle.

Luckily, this space-saving option from Anker includes three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, and even an ethernet port, and you can add it to your bag for just $32 today with promo code KINJACH5. The $33 list price is itself an all-time low by $3, so our code is a cherry on top.

Completely blocking out the world around you with noise-isolating or noise-canceling headphones is great if you’re sitting in a loud office, but it poses a hazard when you’re out and about in the city, with cars whizzing by. That’s where bone conduction headphones shine.

Bone conduction may not be the most popular headphone technology, but it’s been around for years, and aims to solve this problem. While most headphones transmit music through the air, entering your ear canal and vibrating your eardrum, bone conduction headphones are different. They sit outside your ear, vibrating the bones of your head until the sound reaches the cochlea—the same place the eardrum sends sounds to be converted for your brain. That means your ear canal is free to listen to the sounds around you.

Aftershokz Trekz are far and away the most popular headphones in the space, and you can a pair at an extremely rare 20% discount right now. You can choose between the Trekz Titanium for $80 (down from $100), or the lighter Trekz Airs for $120 (down from $150). Reviewers note that the older, heavier Titaniums can get slightly louder, but the Airs are more comfortable. In terms of actual sound quality, you probably wouldn’t notice a difference between them.

If you’ve somehow managed to keep track of Kingdom Hearts’ story over the years—or even if you haven’t, and just want to enjoy a bizarre mashup of Disney and Square Enix IP—Kingdom Hearts III is down to an all-time low $25 on PS4 and Xbox One today.

---

Marvel’s Spider-Man features all the web-slinging fun you could want in an open world Spider-Man game, and it’s down to $20 today on Amazon, an all-time low. And yes, it has the Sam Raimi suit now.

---

David Archy sells some of the most popular underwear on Amazon, and a number of them are on sale today. Starting this weekend, you can save 20% underwear packs, undershirts and socks with the promo codes DAFATHER.

I own a few of those “contour pouch” boxer briefs and I really like ‘em. I’m betting you would too.

---

Corsair makes some of your favorite mechanical gaming keyboards, and their K65 RGB model is marked down to $80 today, a couple of bucks off the best price we’ve ever seen.

---

Is Amazon’s Fire HD 8 in the same ballpark as, say, an iPad Pro? Of course not. But $60 is a good price for a tablet with a 1280×800 screen, expandable storage, and a 12-hour battery. If you mostly want a tablet for passive media consumption, or just want one for your kid, this is probably all you need.

---

The new, waterproof, Bluetooth-equipped Kindle Paperwhite is $30 cheaper today. This is one of the better deals we’ve seen, and if you have an Amazon Prime credit card, you’ll get 10% cash back, which effectively lowers the price to $90.

Oh, and if you want the cheaper, all-new Kindle—that’s also cheaper now, too. It’s selling for $70 which is also the lowest price we’ve ever seen. The more expensive Oasis is also $50 off with 20% cash back for Prime card members.

OXO Good Grips Cold Brew | $40 | Amazon

Cold brew coffee is basically the only kind of coffee I like, and when there wasn’t a Starbucks readily available, I’d been using the popularTakeya cold brew pitcher for over a year to make it at home. That all changed when my mother-in-law got me OXO’s alternative as a gift a couple of years ago, and it quickly became one of my favorite possessions.

The Takeya is fine. Good, even, especially for under $20. But the reader-recommendedOXO is absolutely stellar. The video above tells you everything you need to know about how it works, but I promise you that the coffee you get after 24 hours of steeping is potent, delicious, and and can easily last you over a week, even if you don’t dilute it as much as OXO recommends.

Its MSRP is $50, and as an OXO product, that’s about what you’ll typically pay. Right now though, you can get it for $40, the first discount we’ve seen in 2019. It didn’t even go on sale during Black Friday, so you know this is rare.

Find someone who looks at you the way cats look at the PetFusion cat lounger. Normally $50, it very rarely goes on sale, because with 6,000 reviews and an insane 4.8-star rating on Amazon, it probably sells itself. It’s made of recycled cardboard, its curved design makes it easier for cats to scratch, and the grooves of the cardboard are perfect for rubbing in some catnip for hours of (your) entertainment.

These deals never last long, so I’d go ahead and pounce on it while you can. The Walnut Brown model is down to $42 on Chewy and Amazon.

Use the promo code NINSWTCHJC to drop this base Nintendo Switch down to $255. This is about $10 off the lowest price we’ve seen on this console, so it’s a great deal.

If you’ve been waiting to buy an Xbox One X, now is the time to spend your money. As a probable tie-in to the NBA Finals, you can get an Xbox One X 1TB Black Console NKA 2K19 Bundle for only $300 on eBay, the discount will appear at checkout. The bundle includes a black controller and Xbox One X, as well as a digital download of NBA 2K19. The Xbox One X has an AMD Octa-core CPU, 12GB RAM, 1TB HD, and 4K Blu-ray and streaming.

---

Unlike the (more powerful) Xbox One X, the PS4 Pro has been remarkably resistant to discounts since its release. Today though in celebration of E3, you can get it for $350, down from the usual $400. Just note that it doesn’t come with any bundled games.

---

It’s only available in black, but $40 is about as good a deal as you’re likely to see on the DualShock 4 outside of Black Friday. Best of all, it’ll work with your iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV once iOS 13 comes out in the fall.

---

The PlayStation Classic doesn’t have Suikoden II, which means it’s a skip for me. But people who know better than me say it’s relatively straightforward to add some yourself. And even if you don’t bother hacking it, there’s still plenty worthwhile pre-loaded games to keep you entertained.

While $100 was a lot to ask, this sale makes it *a lot* easier to just bite the bullet and buy it for $30 already. And if you want an even bigger discount, eBay has a few open-box units for just $28.

We’re big fans of Dallas-based Breda’s minimalist timepieces, and starting under $60 for a ton of different styles, they’d make for a great Father’s Day gift.

Our readers’ favorite VPN recently raised prices for the first time ever, and the company’s best-value (and Kinja Deals-exclusive) three-year plan is going away at the end of the week, so this is your last chance to subscribe at the best per-month price available.

Advertisement

Three-year plans aren’t available to the general public at all, but if you click this link, you can get three years for $99, which works out to just $2.75 per month. That’s only $9 more than it was cost to the price hike, and while shorter plan lengths are available, none come close to the per-month pricing of this three-year membership. For example, the publicly available two-year plan costs about $84, and a month-to-month plan will set you back $10 per month.

If you subscribe to the three-year plan today, you’ll be able to continue to renew it at the same price for the life of your subscription, so this is a great chance to lock in a terrific deal.
