Promoted Deal: Up to 20% off Ergonomic Chairs and Desks | Branch Furniture
If you’ve been working at home as many maybe you’ve still been putting off how to make the environment as agreeable as possible. As we look to not be headed back to offices anytime soon it’s time to invest in good ergonomic furniture. Branch is here to help with that and more. They aim to save your back, your wallet, and the environment. Starting today take up to 20% off ergonomic chairs and desks in their early Black Friday sale.
Now you ask, how are they helping the planet? For every $100 you spend they’ll plant 5 trees. That’s pretty dang cool. It’s not often we get to shop and help Mother Earth. This is a real mind, body, and soul deal if you ask me. Keeping an eye on our globe and keeping your productivity up. You don’t need to be sitting in an uncomfortable chair or hunched over a makeshift work desk any longer.
Upgrade to Branch’s best selling ergonomic chair for $289 (down from $349). You can pick from 3 colors: white, grey, or black.
I’m a fan of a standing desk and while this one is $779 it works for shorties like me (at 5’3”) all the way to essentially LeBron James. I personally feel much more focused when I’m standing and you definitely get into the grove faster in my opinion. This comes in a sleek woodgrain beige color.
You can bundle these together too because there’s nothing wrong with options when the days are long. This set will run you around $940. But look at it this way, that’s also 45 trees you just helped plant.
Each of these will ship for free and all are easy to assemble.
Rise and shine, gamers. Amazon’s Black Friday deals are here and it includes some big savings for PC players or those looking to become one. Amazon is running a 15% off sale on desktops, laptops, and monitors, but some of the price cuts are actually as high as 22%. The sale includes a variety of popular brands with products from companies like Acer and Alienware hundreds of dollars off. What’s a Black Friday without some big tech deals anyways? There’s a lot of glowing keyboards and towers to sort through, so here are a few of the highlights.
There’s a handful of gaming desktops included in the sale, but these two stick out in particular. And no, not just because they look wild. Both come with AMD’s Ryzen 7, making them powerful gaming machines. The Alienware Aurora boasts its PCI Express 4.0 technology, which doubles the bandwidth sent to the graphics card. That means that you can really push games to their limits, as well as have more power for streaming and content creation.
The theme in this sale is “things that light up” and you especially see that in the laptops available. The Acer Predator Titron 900 is notable for its 512GB of storage and 300Hz refresh rate. As a slightly more cost effective option, Acer’s Nitro 5 comes with a GeForce RTX 2060 and an Intel Core i7-9750H processor. Most importantly, they both have keyboards that light up. Its not a PC gaming device unless its emitting some kind of ominous light.
A pair of monitors is on sale and they’re both solid options for your gaming rig. Acer’s Nitro XZ342CK is a wide boy with a 34″ curved display that boasts a 144Hz refresh rate. You can also grab Acer’s Nitro VG271 if you’re not looking for a curved or wide screen. At $250, it’s a 27″ full HD monitor. Sadly, neither have glowing RGB lights, though if you think about it, a monitor itself is the original glowing PC gaming accessory.
Televisions can be tricky game of finding which one suits you and your home best. From the bezel to the type of display it has, it can be confusing to find the right one.
For Black Friday, Sony have seemingly lined up a few of their best televisions from this year, especially as their PlayStation 5 console has now been released.
Featuring a 4K resolution and an LED display with HDR, colours will pop out to their fullest on the X800H, alongside featuring a ‘Game Mode’ that can change the television into a gaming display for your latest console.
It also has Android TV, so you can access all the latest streaming apps, alongside Apple’s AirPlay 2, so you can mirror an image from your iOS device, directly to the TV.
Why pay $110 for AirPods when you could gift that special someone in your life a pair of Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 true wireless earbuds for $45 less? While the well-cushioned in-ears used to cost $100, as one of my coworkers pointed out earlier today, it’s Black Friday, and as such, they’re currently $35 off using the coupon on the Amazon listing page. That means you can effectively get an AirPods Pro-quality design, complete with the rubber tips regular AirPods bafflingly lack. And though you won’t find active noise canceling at this price point, Anker has fit two microphones and cVc 8.0 noise reduction in there so you don’t sound like a boomer when you’re on the phone.
Then there’s HearID, which makes you take a listening test to optimize the soundstage for your ears. By examining your response to a bunch of different frequencies, it creates a custom EQ tailored specifically to your ears. And lastly, if, like most people, your main draw to Apple’s AirPods is the H1 chip’s seamless pairing technology, note the Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 buds also feature one-step pairing by way of Bluetooth 5.0. Never miss a beat this holiday and make the right choice for your next set of ‘phones.
It’s a good day to be a PC techie. Black Friday tends to bring us discounts on lots of PC gear and this year is no exception, because Intel’s Core i9 processor is on sale for $365. The 10th gen chip is built for gamers and content creators with a lot of impressive features. It can hit up to 5.2 GHz max clock speeds and has 10 cores and 20 threads. In layman’s terms, it’s a beast that will make your computer too powerful for its own good. Walmart says they’ll ship by December 4, so you could have it in time for Cyberpunk 2077.
Fixing to build your own gaming PC this Black Friday? Newegg is selling AMD’s Ryzen 7 desktop processor for $350. You’ll save an extra $15 when you use the promo code 52BKFCYM3 at checkout, making this a $65 savings over its usual price. The Ryzen is a perfect chip for gaming builds, as its designed to double your graphics bandwidth and generally boost performance. Who needs a new gaming console when you can just build a big beefy box anyways?

Events like Black Friday can showcase some great deals on storage, and that’s no more than SD Cards for your SLR Camera.
This variant in particular has 256GB of storage, so as the nights roll in earlier and the sun rises across a landscape, you will want a storage card that can take as many shots as possible to land that perfect picture.
Featuring read speeds of up to 170MB/s and write speeds up to 90MB/s, there will be no problem in burst shots and even 4K video when you’re traversing woodland and mountainous regions to attain that perfect shot with a SanDisk 256 SD Card.
Razer have built up a reputation with their peripherals, no more than their keyboard and mice. At 54% off for $46, this Mamba Wireless Mouse is a great starting point if you don’t own anything Razer as yet.
Featuring 7 programmable buttons so you can easily bind a gaming function when needed, alongside customizable RGB across the peripheral, you can customize the mouse into how you want it to work for you.
Even though it’s wireless, Razer have consistently tried to improve the battery life of their peripherals, ending up with an impressive 50 hour battery life for this mouse. When you combine that with the different DPI mouse speed settings, you’ve got a great mouse for a great price here.
It’s no secret I love Marshall. Every product I’ve had from them I’ve fallen in love with and I’ve had many. The Uxbridge Smart Speaker is no different. Take $50 off of today at Best Buy.
I’ve had to pleasure of playing with this one for the last week and it’s now my go-to smart speaker. What I really like is through the Marshall app I can control how everything sounds with the fine-tuning feature. You can also do this with the rocker buttons on the top panel which is absolutely sleek and aesthetically gorgeous. But Marshall is known for really chic and cool looking speakers, the design is important to them and it shows. I’ve put it in my kitchen and both my roommate and I use it and all it’s Amazon Alexa features, especially while cooking. Alexa can even hear us in the dining room so the far-field microphone really does the job. It did take me a little bit of time to get it to connect properly but I’m not sure if it was my WiFi or just me having ‘user error,’ but once I was locked in it’s been perfect. I’ve got the white option and it comes in black as well. Both are on sale.
This item ships for free.
There’s always that just-in-case scenario for when your devices need charging and there’s no free socket nearby. It could be even worse if there’s no USB socket nearby, which is where the Anker PowerCore Essential comes in. With a 20,000mAh capacity, it’s a huge bank of power where an iPhone 12 Pro can be charged up to 5 times, and up to 2 for an iPad Pro.
You can charge two USB devices at the same time, but for USB-C it’s only one. However, it’s a small price to pay for the convenience you get here, especially as 31% off for Black Friday.
If you want to showcase your favourite Spice Girls album to your neighbourhood from your garden, this is the way to go.
The JBL Boombox has a 24 hour battery, alongside huge speakers that generate crisp and deep sound, whatever you throw at it.
It’s also IPX7 waterproof so it can withstand a rainy rave against yourself when you simply need to moonwalk one evening.
As the JBL Boombox is $120 off the original price, it may be tempting buy two to pair them together, a feature that enables low-latency, full stereo sound if you really want to go that extra mile.
I couldn’t love my PhoneSoap Smartphone Sanitizer more. I put my masks, keys, glasses, and of course my iPhone in it daily. I try to drop my stuff in immediately when I get home to ensure I get the fullest out of it. I’ve tested a few sanitizers and PhoneSoap stands above the others. Today only take 20% off, the discount is already applied.
This design has two scientifically proven germicidal UV-C bulbs that completely sanitize your gear. I like the PhoneSoap more than others because there isn’t this burnt smell that often happens upon completion. All my stuff smells like it was just zap fried but not with PhoneSoap. However, I still think the charging ports just take too long on all of these, ideal if you aren’t in a rush though. This model was made to accommodate all smartphones even my large iPhone 11. If it fits inside I say sanitizer it. Using this unit on a regular basis will help cut germs, bacteria, and keeps us all a little safer and healthier.

I’m no stranger to the AirPods Pro magic Kinja Deals readers have gone apeshit over ever since Apple’s true wireless active noise-canceling earbuds first went on sale. Between the H1 chip—which allows for automatic pairing to iPhones and iPads and pretty damn seamless pairing to everything else as well—and their better than expected ability to block out ambient sound, the AirPods Pro are close to perfect.
While I wasn’t a fan of the original AirPods due to the lack of rubberized tips, these boast substantive upgrades over their younger sibling and predecessor, including sweat and water resistance for intense exercise. And, for a limited time only I presume, they’re discounted $79 on Amazon. Note that the full discount appears in your cart!
Although I’ll admit the battery life leaves something to be desired, unless transparency mode is enabled, AirPods Pro are some of the best true wireless earbuds you can buy right now, and probably the best in their size with active noise canceling functionality. Just see what our friend Adam Clark Estes had to say in his review for Gizmodo:
I’ve never loved the AirPods. That’s mainly because I’m one of the few people whose ears just don’t fit with the mostly universal design. But they wouldn’t be so popular if they weren’t great earbuds. So when Apple announced the AirPods Pro with different fit options and a flurry of new features, I thought it must be time for me to be a fanatic. I’ve been using them for a week, and I love them.
One of his few complaints about AirPods Pro was the steep price tag, $249 MSRP. At $170 (again, price shown in cart), however, little more than a pair of Bose Soundsport Free and Jabra Elite 75t which don’t tout ANC technology or always-on pairing, AirPods Pro are a steal you don’t want to miss out on.
TV speakers suck. You know this. I know this. Your DAD knows this. But the alternative, soundbars or full-on home theater surround sound systems, can get expensive, often approaching a grand or more. Soundbars in particular also take up a lot more space on your TV stand, and if you’ve got a dedicated streaming device up there already—as many of us do—they’ll make your setup look cluttered too. The Roku Streambar, reviewed by Gizmodo staff reporter Catie Keck just last month, solves both these problems. Measuring 14″ x 4.2″ x 2.4″, it occupies very little console real estate and has Roku 4K HDR streaming functionality built-in.
After weeks with the Streambar, I’m convinced it’s a solid choice for people who would like to improve the sound on a TV without dropping an eye-popping amount of money on a pricey sound system, or even someone in need of a 4K streaming device who is willing to drop a few extra bucks on a connected smart speaker. I want to stress again that this is not a top-of-the-line soundbar option, at least not without a boost from additional speakers. But the ability for this tiny but mighty speaker to be expanded upon for a fuller surround system—all while delivering many of the benefits of premium streaming sticks and boxes—makes it a hell of a steal for the price.
For Cyber Week, the Roku Streambar is down to $100—23% off the list price—on Amazon and at Best Buy. While it doesn’t support many of the bells and whistles that even the Roku Ultra does, it’s a great way to consolidate your devices, which you can’t really say of any set-top box. That said, if you’re unconvinced but still need a way to watch your shows, a bunch of Roku devices are still on sale on Amazon and at Best Buy and Staples.
Every time I see an iPad deal, I’m reminded of this tweet from Washington Post reporter Gene Park. Also the NY Times article he’s referencing, but mostly his tweet. The iPad has supplanted our TVs as the main TV- and movie-watching device of the house.
It’s an all-in-one distraction, and you can pick up the latest base 32GB model for $280 at Best Buy, a savings of $50. Need more storage? The 128GB model sees an even larger $70 savings at a price of $360. Between its 10.2-inch Retina display, the aging but still pretty fast A12 Bionic processor, Apple Pencil support, and up to 10 hours of battery life, there’s a lot to love about the iPad.
For the next week take 28% off these high-end wireless headphones from Treblab. The Z2s are quality and I was extremely impressed with the ANC. These are perfect for working out or for someone who just likes to literally tune out the world. I’ve been using the Z2s for a week or so and can tell you they are extremely comfy. They paired quickly and seamlessly. For their size, they are pretty lightweight and fit perfectly into a rather fetching hardshell case when not in use. The built-in mic for calls was clear and crackle-free. I take a lot of calls so this was a very important feature for me. You’ll get well over 30 hours of playtime off of one charge and the 3-hour quick charge has you taking these on the road a lot sooner than others on the market. There are easy button controls and you can even link up with your chosen voice assistant such as Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa. If you need a more affordable pair of wireless noise-canceling headphones these are a great option.
With news that we may not see many significant updates for the galactic dogfighting game Star Wars: Squadrons, we don’t blame you if you’ve been holding out for a discount. With a fun multiplayer but short campaign, the game is already appropriately priced at $40 out of the lightyear gate, but now its more than half off at $17.
Like the PC version, Xbox One players get the best immersion possible with HOTAS flight stick support. The entire game is playable from the perspective of an aerial cockpit. PlayStation 4 owners get PSVR support, putting them directly in the cockpit. Strap in and take off at your earliest convenience.
I am a lone wolf. In the Kinja Deals Slack, I am one of the last people remaining to not own a next-gen console. Do I want a PS5 or Xbox Series X? Not necessarily, but the FOMO of not having one is giving me hives. So last week, I set out on a mission. I was going to buy the new Xbox controller to use with my PC. Because shipping would take too long on Amazon (go figure lol), I placed my order on Walmart.com and patiently awaited its arrival. From there, I overclocked my GPU, paired this bad boy to my Xbox Wireless Adapter (not required but essential if you don’t want to wrestle with Bluetooth), and bumped Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to its highest settings in gorgeous 4K HDR 60fps on my decent 65″ Vizio M Series TV. And just like that, I experienced next-gen gaming.
Now the controller I paid $60 for is on sale for $40 (Walmart, Best Buy), because fuck me, right? I could have spent that $20 on anything. 20 packs of four chicken nuggets at McDonald’s. A Thanksgiving turkey. A holiday tree. MORE Assassin’s Creed games. And yet, here I am, swindled yet again. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Us PC gamers have to look out for each other in times like this. And also Xbox One players I guess, since Microsoft’s latest is forward compatible with its last-gen systems as well. Get your hands on the closest thing you’ll get to the Xbox Elite Series 2 in this price range. Hybrid D-pad, textured grips, custom button mapping, the gang’s all here.
LEGO has gone from being able to build simple houses and cars, into mimicking real-world objects that can have its pride of place anywhere in someone’s home.
The Ship in a Bottle LEGO stands at 962 pieces, which would be a perfect challenge for a family to build at Christmas.
It’s a product from LEGO that stands out from their other products this year. It’s something that can be displayed in a glass case and at 20% off for Black Friday, it’s a fantastic deal as a gift for someone at the holidays.
Christmas season is barely beginning, but it’s already time to start reckoning with the fact that 2020 is almost over. This miserable year will be laid to rest in just over a month, letting us all move on. Will 2021 be much better? That’s not really clear at this point, but you can better prepare for it, at least. Eneba is currently selling one full year of PS Plus for $29 with the promo code BLACKPSFRIDAY. Considering there’s a good chance you’ll still be inside and gaming through at least Spring, it’s a good time to get all your online services renewed for cheap so you can keep connecting with your friends through the power of games.
Disclaimer: While we’ve heard your complaints about our use of Eneba links in the past, note the redirection to EU region-locked products has since been resolved by our affiliate partners at Eneba and Awin.
The Black Friday gaming deals start coming and they don’t stop coming. Amazon’s running a big Black Friday sale on assorted gaming accessories, with prices up to 50% off (even though the sale is listed as up to 40%. Sneaky, Amazon). There’s a whole smattering of options included, from headsets to hard drives. Heck, there’s even a “gaming mouse pad” thrown in there. I didn’t even know that was a thing, to be frank. If you’re wondering what’s worth grabbing, here’s a quick rundown of a few of the highlights.
The biggest deal in the whole bunch is JBL’s Quantum One gaming headset. It’s 50% off, down from its usual $300 price. This noise cancelling headset features head-tracking technology to help make sound more precise, which is a wild concept. For a cheaper, but still high-end, option, the Quantum 400 provide an immersive surround sound experience. They don’t have the fancy head-tracking, but they do have memory foam cushions to make your ears comfy.
If you’re looking for a mechanical keyboard, there’s a few options to check out. Corsair’s K60 is a slim keyboard with a lot of features. Chief among them is its customizable RGB glow, so everyone will know you are gaming. The Cooler Master CK552 has a neat brushed aluminum design and Gateron Red mechanical switches. In the glow department, the Amazon listing notes that it has “multiple lighting modes and effects to highlight all your dominating killstreaks,” which is the funniest thing I’ve ever read.
If you want a 12TB hard drive for some ungodly reason, I will not judge you. I will only point you to the WD Black D10, which is compatible with the Xbox Series X. Do what you will with that information. If you aren’t storing a terrifying amount of data, the 4TB P10 model is a great option for adding years worth of external storage to your PC for $91.
Have you ever wanted to punch Aquaman in the face? Just land a big right hook on his kisser? That’s not something that you can really do these days without breaking your hand, since Jason Mamoa is Aquaman in our current timeline. The safer option? Pick up Injustice 2: Legendary Edition, which is just $5 at Eneba with the promo code INJUSTICEBF. You’ll get a Steam key of the game with your purchase. The award winning fighting game is a DC Comics’ fans dream, with a huge roster that features characters like Batman, Swamp Thing, and Hellboy. All of those characters are especially good at punching Aquaman square in the nose.
So you just bought a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X? That’s cool, but have you considered throwing them directly in the garbage? Who cares about next-gen consoles when the Animal Crossing special edition Nintendo Switch is back on sale? This adorable bad boy was a hot commodity when it released back in March alongside Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Now it’s back and as precious as ever, so you can go ahead and flush Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War down the toilet. It’s Animal Crossing season, baby! It never stopped and it will never end! Happy Turkey Day, villagers.
Ready? Set? Go! Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is back on sale at Amazon. The AR racing game has been hard to come by since it launched, so anyone who’s been curious might want to hit the gas on this deal. The creative Switch game comes with a physical kart, which you can use to drive around courses in your actual house. The camera on the kart peripheral transmits to your Switch, turning your living room into a full-on track. It’s the perfect gift for kids this holiday season or adults who just want an excuse to play with RC cars again (read, me). The only catch is that Amazon won’t be shipping orders until January, so it won’t be here quite in time for the holidays, but there’s always Valentine’s Day!
If you were hoping for a quick Assassin’s Creed Valhalla price drop this Black Friday, your patience has paid off. Amazon now has the brand new release (like, really brand new) down to $48. That even includes the PlayStation 5 version. The price cut is pretty surprising given just how new Valhalla is, but Ubisoft appears to be quick on the price slashes this Black Friday season. Both Watch Dogs: Legion and Just Dance 2021 are heavily discounted at the moment less than a month after their release. Valhalla probably won’t drop to half price any time soon like Watch Dogs, so this might be one of the lowest prices you’ll be able to get it at this year. Happy raiding, Vikings.
Shhhh, nobody tell Nintendo that GameStop is holding a pretty significant sale on some of the Switch’s biggest first-party games. Considering that it’s rare to see Nintendo games on sale it all, it’s kind of wild that Fire Emblem: Three Houses or Splatoon 2 down to $27. I fear that Nintendo will find out and take this momentary moment of bliss away from us. Just in case that happens, it’s worth scrolling through the list of discounts, because there are some serious hits included. While most of them aren’t 2020 releases like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it’s still a great way to strengthen your library with games like Yoshi’s Crafted World and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, so poke around and see what strikes you.
Lets’a go! Super Mario 3D All-Stars is down to $50 at Walmart today, a familiar price for anyone who grew up playing the games included in the collection. Back in 2002, I remember getting $50 from my mom so I could go to the mall and gleefully pick up a copy of Super Mario Sunshine. Then there was 2007’s Super Mario Galaxy, one of the first games I bought on my own when I went off to college. At the time $50 seemed like a real investment. Seeing that price tag on these classic games is kind of nostalgic, isn’t it? Okay, I’m reaching. It’s a little bizarre that the collection was $60 to begin with, but the price reduction here is a welcome one. Super Mario 3D All-Stars will literally vanish from shelves in March, so if you’ve been hoping for a discount, now might be the time to jump to it.
It’s time for a nostalgia trip: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is on sale for $25 at Best Buy. The remake of the skateboarding classics are a literal blast from the past, restoring the series to its former glory (let’s just collectively block out Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, shall we?). The collection adds robust online multiplayer options and a deep creative suite, allowing you to customize parks and skaters. Most of the songs you remember are still on the game’s soundtrack, alongside new jams by bands like FIDLAR and Screaming Females. And of course, you can play as the Hawk Man himself, Mr. Tony Hawk. What more can you ask for in a game?
With reviews of the next-gen Xbox consoles finally live on Gizmodo and Kotaku, it’s now safe to say Microsoft’s latest hardware puts up a good fight against Sony’s PS5. The software, however—at least that which is exclusive—Alex Cranz argues in her review, “… remind me of my brother when he was in college and committed to backward baseball caps.”
That said, the barrier to entry is much more affordable in comparison. While most PlayStation exclusives cost a whopping $70 apiece, 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate costs just $23 over at Best Buy and nets you access to a whole library of critically-acclaimed titles, including Gears 5, No Man’s Sky, and my personal favorite current-gen offering, Forza Horizon 4, from day one.
Since you don’t have to pay for these games outright individually, to say Game Pass adds value to the Xbox as a concept is an understatement. The Xbox, some would say, is defined by the service. For what amounts to roughly $9 a month at this discounted rate, you’ll have not only hundreds of high-quality games at your disposal, but you’ll be opted into an Xbox Live Gold membership as well, letting you play with your friends online at no additional cost.
If you want to showcase your favorite Mandalorian in your gaming room or office, this is the best way to do just that.
At 635 pieces there’s a lot of impressive detail here, with Boba Fett’s iconic helmet in all its glory, recently seen partially worn by ‘The Child’ in ‘The Mandalorian’ Disney+ series.
This LEGO Boba Fett Helmet measures 21cm high, which won’t take up too much room anywhere, and when you consider that his targeting rangefinder can be swivelled for when Boba needs to lock-on to a lone Jedi or Wampa, it’s hard to resist at 20% off.
So, you’re going to buy all these Switch games on sale this weekend, right? Well, there’s two questions to consider in the wake of a buying spree. One, how am I going to store all of them on the system’s pithy internal storage? Secondly, how am I going to play a game like Splatoon 2 if I don’t have a Nintendo Online subscription? Get ready to kill two squids with one stone, because Walmart has a bundle up that answers both needs. You can get 12 months of Switch Online and a 128GB microSD card (emblazoned with a happy-go-lucky mushroom) for just $35. That’s an $85 value normally, so it’s an excellent deal for new Switch owners especially.
This Black Friday season is apparently a bidding war for who can have the lowest price on Marvel’s Avengers. Despite only coming out in September, the superhero game is now at its lowest price yet: $27. The base game isn’t the only version getting a discount. The Deluxe Edition is selling for $40, which is still less than the price of the game at full retail. Even crazier, the $200 Earth’s Mightiest edition is now half-off at $100. The package features a bunch of physical Avengers goodies, including a big honking statue of Captain America. It’s hard to imagine those prices getting much lower, but I’ll believe anything when it comes to this game at this point.
Way back in the day, the original Animal Crossing for GameCube was so big that it came with its own memory card. My precious little 59 slot card had a picture of Rover on it and could not have anything other than Animal Crossing on it. I was just hit with that childhood memory seeing this Switch compatible 512GB SanDisk microSD card, branded to match New Horizons’ chill aesthetic. It comes in that cool, light green color and features the same leaf icon that’s found on Tom Nook’s vacation-dad button down. Other than looking extremely cute, it’s actually a pretty practical deal. The card, which is down to $80 on Amazon today, is perfect for Switch owners who buy a lot of games. A 512GB card can hold much more than just Animal Crossing, so you’ll get a lot of mileage out of this precious storage device.
Mortal Kombat 11 is getting some heavy discounts this Black Friday season, with the base game getting as low as $13 in some places. If you want the whole bloody package though, Amazon has the Aftermath Kollection down to $25 today only on Switch and PlayStation 4 (though its $30 on Xbox One). The bundle features the entire base game, the Aftermath expansion, and downloadable characters like RoboCop and the Terminator. The collection usually retails for $60, while the standalone expansion runs $40 normally, so $25 is a low price for everything together. Nothing says “holiday spirit” quite like Mortal Kombat, right?
Here are the benefits of buying an arcade cabinet that exclusively plays the golf game Golden Tee, which is $150 off at Best Buy right now, instead of getting a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X:
- It’s on sale for $250, making it half the price of a new console.
- Next-gen games cost $70. Here, you get Golden Tee and never need to buy more games.
- Includes a riser, four games, and a 17″ screen.
- Xbox Series X does not play Golden Tee.
- You can’t go to a dive bar to play Golden Tee right now, so this is the next best thing.
- Less ugly than the PlayStation 5.
- It’s a Golden Tee arcade cabinet.

Looking for a high-end, wireless gaming headset that will let you hear ever little detail in your games? Amazon has Logitech’s G935 down to $120, which is $50 off its usual price. The headphones feature DTS Headphone:X 2.0 Surround Sound, creating a more immersive experience. It’s also got 12 hours of wireless life, which is perfect for an extended Overwatch binge. Most exciting, however, is that the 6mm microphone displays a red light when you’re muted. That means that you’ll never accidentally blow your cover during a round of Among Us. Oh, and you can customize how they light up to match your rig. There’s a lot of bells and whistles to play around with here, giving the G935 more of a gadget vibe than your average headphones.
Ohhhhh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants! Has his own video game with elaborate special editions that are heavily discounted? … Spongebob Squarepants? For some reason, the prices on Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated’s Shiny and F.U.N. editions just dropped by up to 70%. The Shiny Edition, which includes socks and a Spongebob statue, usually retails for $150 and now it’s down to $50. Meanwhile, the F.U.N. Edition is $90, down from $300. That version adds in a few keychains, plus Sandy and Patrick statues. Even if you’re not a big fan of the game itself, the physical extras themselves just about justify the price. If you’re just looking for a new pair of socks, there’s probably a cheaper route you can go.
Every day, it feels like I’m writing a new post about how Watch Dogs: Legion’s price has dropped. Last week, the October release was already down to $40. This week, it’s now down to $30, which makes it 50% off its retail price. We already knew the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of the game would be heavily discounted this Black Friday, but seeing the actual PlayStation 5 version on sale 50% off is something of a surprise. Players on any console can upgrade to the next-gen version for free (though some users have reported bugs with the process), but this is a cheap way to get a physical PlayStation 5 game case on your shelf so you can justify spending the extra $100 on a disc drive. Those who don’t have a PlayStation 5 can still get the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of the game for $30 as well.
No matter how many miles you’ve racked up on your trusty sedan, everyone needs a jump now and then. But as we all know, if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. That’s where jump starter battery boosters like the 18,000mAh Tacklife T8 come in. Marked down $22 on Amazon using the promo code GT5XAMOA, this is one deal drivers won’t want to miss. Not only will it get your car back up and running without the need for an offchance good samaritan (especially in the socially distant coronadays), but it’ll also charge your phone, tablet, and anything else powered by USB.
Never again will you have to thumb it on your way to Pennsylvania to buy some fireworks—not that I would know anything about that!
The wired vacuum cleaners are already beginning to look dated, with improvements in batteries allowing cordless vacuum cleaners to be taken anywhere in the house without worrying about where that wire is.
The Eureka RapidClean Pro Vacuum Cleaner can take on multiple surfaces of the floor, from wood to rugs on a 40-minute battery.
Alongside featuring two different modes for how powerful the vacuum should be against different kinds of dirt, it can also turn into a handheld vacuum, easily reaching those hard-to-spot areas that a normal vacuum would have trouble reaching.
Welcome to Black Friday, all. We’ve got a Kyoku 5-Piece knife set that’s 20% off its original list price bringing the price down to $80. You can chop, slice, and dice to your heart’s desire while knowing you’ve got a good deal. The set comes with a chef knife, bread knife, boning knife, utility knife, and a paring knife, all made from Japanese high carbon steel. Whatcha waiting for? Just drop in promo code KYOKUFAC at checkout.
There may be a situation that requires you to be out of the house for a long period of time for the day, and you may be worried as to what your dog will be doing while you’re gone.
This is where the Furbo Dog Camera comes in. It streams live video direct to your phone, and if they bark, you get sent notifications of this so you can look at the stream to see why they may be barking away.
However the real treat here is the treat-dispenser. This will probably make the Furbo your dog’s best friend, as you can either use the app to dispense a treat, or even use Alexa.
At $115 off it’s a very useful device that can make sure you can keep one eye open on your smartphone, for when they may be barking at the mailman, or if you want to reward them with a treat.
If you work often and you don’t have the energy to vacuum your home from time to time, it helps that in 2020 we can rely on a robot to do this chore for us.
The ILife V3s Robot Vacuum Cleaner is no exception, where it can have a daily routine to go to certain rooms, vacuum up any dirt, and then go back to its charging station, ready for the next day of tasks.
It has sensors for when it could be close to falling, and it also comes with a remote control, in case you need to command it for extra uses.
At 31% off for Black Friday it’s at a great price to be the companion for when you’d rather spend an evening on your new PlayStation 5, or watch a new ‘Mandalorian’ episode.
Contrary to what the haters might tell you, electric kick scooters are a badass substitute for public transit amid a pandemic. For upwards of $5,000 you could buy a private car OR you could spare the environment and your wallet a little extra hurt by spending 90% less on a Segway Ninebot ES4 electric scooter, now 35% off on Amazon. On a normal day, you’d spend $770 on this bad boy, which is more than $500. In fact, do the math and you’ll find it’s $270 more.
The ES4 is one of Segway’s higher-end scooters, boasting a maximum speed of 18.6mph in Sports Mode, with a maximum climbing slope of 15%. Inexplicably, you can travel 28 miles at a time for up to 7 hours on this thing, more than the length of a marathon, thanks to its 374 watt-hour battery. That is significantly higher than the next step down, the ES2 that costs $89 more than the marked down ES4 right now and can only travel 15.5 consecutive miles at 15.5mph at its highest setting. Its slope climbing abilities are also 5% less, and it only lasts half the amount of time on a single charge.
Those desperate for a more efficient way of getting around to pick up a light load of groceries or travel back and forth from the laundromat may want to consider this deal while it’s still on the table. Who knows how long it will last or whether you’ll otherwise be able to snatch it up in time for the holidays.
I think I feel most like an adult when I spend my money on things I really don’t want, but instead on items a responsible human needs to own. One such purchase is a car jump starter— for sure, this is the kind of thing you would rather have and never have to use than the opposite situation. Thankfully, you can get an Audew upgraded car jump starter for 30% off when you enter the promo code AUDEW2000A at checkout over on Amazon. That brings this slick, LCD screened device down to $68.
As an added bonus, this 2000mAh capacity device can also recharge your smaller devices and has three different flashlight modes to help you find your way in the dark. Better safe than sorry and better 30% off than 0% off— get it at this price while you can!
It is Cyber Wednesday my dudes, and Bezos is back to line his pockets with another year of deals on Amazon’s own devices. Through Black Friday, you can talk to Alexa on your choice of the latest Echo Dot Kids Edition (or the regular Echo Dot if you hate fun), the 4th Gen standard Echo, the 3rd Gen Echo Dot, the Echo Auto, the Echo Show 5, and the Echo Show 8 if you’re so inclined, for up to 60% off the sticker prices. That’s right, whether you’re looking to add smart features to your car or adorn your nightstand with a friggin’ sweet tiger, uhh, for the kids, you can’t go wrong with an Amazon Echo smart speaker. In her review of the 2020 upgrade, Gizmodo’s Victoria Song had this to say:
“If you’re on an OG Amazon Echo or a second-generation Echo, you could probably do with the boost in audio quality. Other than the improved audio quality and the new round design, many of the upgrades just aren’t that noticeable. At the end of the day, I’m left feeling, like, ‘Well, this is the round Echo with surprisingly decent audio that does pretty much what my other Echo speakers do.’
Like I said, it’s round. That’s the story.”
If diamonds are a girl’s best friend you should let these ones be your new BFF because they are 75% off. These Diamond Halo Cluster Stud Earrings are just $50 and an amazing treat for yourself. It’s been an awful year and you deserve something pretty. And what’s the prettiest? Diamonds.
These aren’t too flashy that you can’t just wear them all the time. They’ll add just a little elegance to each day. These are 1/10 carat diamond earrings set in sterling silver with a post back closure. The diamond color rating is between I and J and the clarity is I3. These come in a beautiful Macy’s gift box so even if you buy them for yourself it will feel special.

Brushing teeth can be very monotonous, not realising that you may be using a toothbrush that’s not really taking care of them and eliminating plaque.
This is where the Philips Sonicare 6500 comes in, where it features three modes to personalize the process, alongside a two-minute timer that lets you know how long you have left to brush.
It also comes with an extra brush head in case the first one wears out, and it’s also with a 2 week battery life, so you can take it on a trip and not worry that it’s low on charge for the next few days.
A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I spent an evening with Thames & Kosmos’ Gross Anatomy. I was pleasantly surprised by how fun it was but also how in-depth and involved the kit was too. You guys seem to like these science kits so I tried to find another one that’s fun and informative. With kids spending more time at home keeping them occupied can be a challenge. Thames & Kosmos’ has another kit that might be engaging for the whole family. The Perfume Science Kit is basically beautiful chemistry at work and it’s 18% off.
Making perfume is an art form and an incredible profession. This history of perfumers is fascinating, it really is a science. In this kit, your olfactory system will take a journey as you traverse the physiology of smell. Creating synthetic fragrances and/or combing them with natural ones is a delicate dance in the perfume would. You’ll be teaching not only chemistry but biology to your young scientists as well. In your lab you’ll get high-quality perfume oils, decorative flacons to store what you make, and a 32-page manual to walk you through the experiments. Showing kids science at work in everyday life is a great way to connect complicated subjects to tangible applications.

Had a long week? Same. Why not kick it with some CBD goods to bring your weekend relaxation to another level? We will even help you out with an exclusive offer of 50% off all products with the code JOY.
If you’re not sure where to start, we recommend checking out Cornbread Hemp’s CBD oil. It claims this is the strongest CBD oil you can find that is also USDA certified whole plant organic. You can get a bottle of the original stuff (which has 25MG CBD per milliliter) for $32 after discount. If you want even more CBD goodness packed into every drop, the extra strength version is available with 50MG per milliliter in a larger bottle for $82 after discount.
Cornbread Hemp ships to all 50 states and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re not happy with their products, making this purchase the least stressful thing about your weekend.
JACHS is doing everything possible to make you the most stylish you can be this year. While we might not be out and about as we use to that doesn’t mean you can’t look good even in your own home. With so many life events moving to Zoom or Skype you still need to look presentable and be comfortable too. For the next two days take $20 off orders over $200 and give your wardrobe the makeup you’ve been dreaming of.
We’ve covered sweaters, flannels, and pants so you’ll definitely find the coziest and chicest items for the rest of the winter.
And if you’re spending $200 you’ll definitely get free shipping.
I’m so proud of you for still wearing a mask, it’s super cool of you. But do you need an upgrade or maybe something a little more heavy-duty? Or maybe you just want to put your mind at ease with something a smidge more protective? Grab 40 of the KN95 masks from SideDeal right now for just $29.
These are industry-standard which means they are supposed to filter 95 percent of particles. That is just about as good as you can get. So the mask obviously doesn’t completely eliminate the risk of catching or spreading something but if you wear it correctly it still drastically reduces the likelihood. These are also great if you’ve got severe allergies or asthma and protect against pollen, dander, and whatnot. The KN-95 isn’t made for clinical environments not that you’re performing surgery with these but they will definitely protect you and others against what is currently out there. Not all heroes wear capes, but they do wear masks. So thank you.
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.
It’s Black Friday so treat yourself to some fun goodies. Bellesa feels the same way and has activated its sitewide deal. Take up to 30% off your order, but the savings here are tiered. So 20% off everything. But when you spend $79 that’s 25% off, and then if you hit $149 that’s the full 30%. Just use the code BLACKFRIDAY. This deal runs until November 29.
Bellesa’s own line has produced some amazing toys. (Yes, I cherish my Nirvana!) They’ve got some new toys and they are so adorable I’m already in love. Both of these are under the Diskreet moniker and are made for a life on the go. They are also just $39 with the code. And they look like perfect adult Polly Pockets from the outside, hence the discretion.
First is the sneaky version of the company’s best selling Air. The Diskreet Air uses the same cinetic suction tech as the original and this is the smallest, quietest, and most sneaky form this toy has ever been. There is a lot of power in such a small vibe. Plus it’s pretty, just so pretty.
The Diskreet Vibe is the companion piece to the Diskreet Air. This vibe sizes down the tech of the Aurora and Dea but not the potency. They somehow managed to get all that in just a 3.5” diameter toy. Choose how you want to groove with the multiple sides, there are options. This clitoral vibrator is just as cute as the above Air in its baby blue clamshell case. Both of these cases look like mirrors or compacts and fit snuggling in your purse. They’re USB charged and waterproof too.
Free shipping on orders over $29.
Using a digital thermometer has made it much easier for measuring someone’s temperature in recent times. With the iHealth variant, you can measure someone’s temperature by holding it 3cm away from them, and by reading the LCD screen, day or night, you will receive an accurate reading.
At $15 for Black Friday it’s a fantastic price, and as it comes with batteries, the iHealth Thermometer can be ready to use as soon as you take it out of the box.
For those overwhelmed by the sheer volume of Black Friday deals we’ve managed to post this year, fret not, the countless hours we’ve invested in finding the best discounts on all the hottest products need not go without some much needed R&R—for you at least. While I’ll be working 12 hour days through the end of Cyber Monday, you can do whatever the hell you want. It’s the holidays, go spend time with your family, preferably not in person! And once you inevitably flip back to your phone to avoid listening to yet another rant from your uncle about how the election was stolen by JFK Jr. or whatever, pop a bottle of spearmint- and cinnamon-spiced CBD drops for 25% off the list price using our exclusive promo code KINJAHS25.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when I need a little CBD in my life, Sunday Scaries always comes through, and though I haven’t tried the spiced drops myself, if they’re anything like the Gummies for Chillin’—my personal favorite product of theirs—you can rest assured they’ll be as tasty as they are effective. Calm down and cool off by the fireplace, and roast some chestnuts for God’s sake! Throw on that Donny Hathaway and don’t mind the groove brought on by this vegan, non-psychoactive cannabinoid snack. Embrace it. Happy holidays from Kinja Deals.
While visiting the UK in 2007 I ran into Boots (an awesome drug store chain) because I was looking for lotion. The flat I was staying in made my skin so dry but lucky for me I discovered The Righteous Butter from Soap & Glory and we’ve been together since. For the next two days take 30% off everything from one of the best brands I’ve ever tried.
Another old favorite that we can all use right now is Hand Food ($6). If you’re compulsively washing your hands and noticing they’re going through the wringer treat them to some silky soft relief. It’s non-greasy and is made with shea butter, macadamia oil, and marshmallow. It’s slightly scented but in no way overwhelming. I usually have a travel size of this in my bag.
Exfoliating is important to achieving soft skin. Cleaning away dead skin, dirt, and grim is the way to get there. I use Scrub Of Your Life ($8) when I want something a little more heavy-duty. This is usually when I plan on using a tattoo balm and the only way to make those pieces sing is by really scrubbing them first. This buffs each tattoo, but also scrubs dry elbows in winter, and deep cleans my pores when needed. It has as the classic “pink fragrance,” again not too much but just a hit of floral and fruit. This will leave your skin in the perfect spot for ultimate moisturizing.
Say hello to my new favorite product. My face has never been so soft in my life. The Glow Your Mind Nourishing Cleansing Balm ($10) far exceeded my expectations. It’s velvety and gentle but still finds away to get rid of makeup remnants. Whatever Soap & Glory is doing with this product, keep doing it. I actually get excited to use this every day. They call it a balm-to-milk formula that’s got vitamin C and 4 loving oils: marula, avocado, apricot, and jojoba. This one is virtually scentless but total perfection.
Free shipping on all orders over $35.
There are a few beauty snobs who look down on Too Faced for this lash beautifier but there is a reason it’s the best-selling prestige mascara in America. I was a convert a few years ago when I got a sample in a bag from Sephora. It’s still one of my favorites and I highly recommend Better Than Sex Mascara. This set is usually $40 so this holiday deal is a great one.
You will see the results instantly. I’m always blown away by how long my lashes look after one application. Paint them as black as can be all while separating and lifting. (I swear I wasn’t trying to make it sound like a bra.) They really do give a volume boost and intensifies your eyes. In this pack, you get both the standard size and the travel size so you can touch up on the go. Although I will say it wears really well throughout the day. Peptides condition each lash while acacia Senegal tree extract gives them the appearance of extension. And film-forming polymers curl them to the heavens giving the illusion of falsies without having to use nasty glue. This is a set you will not be let down by. Is it better than sex, well you can decide for yourself. But for me, it’s better than other mascaras on the market hands down.
Free shipping on orders over $25.

I’ve tested Mpow products in the past and was always pleasantly surprised at the value to price ratio. They’re quality without breaking the bank. A real holiday treat from the company is their M30 Earbuds. They’re just $19 when you clip the coupon and use the code P9UHQJIX. This discount will appear once you start the checkout process. This code expires on November 25 and it only works on the pink color.
$19 is a great price for an extra set of earbuds. If you’re running errands or just running and you don’t want to take your most expensive buds on the go these are for you. Quick to pair and easy to bounce between tunes and calls. The M30’s are noise-canceling so ideal for travel and just because they are small and fit snuggly doesn’t mean there’s no power in them. Little buds, big bass. They’re sweat-proof so sport it up and fear not about ruining them. You’ll get about 5 hours off of one charge but 25 hours with the charging case. The only blip is if you’re an Android user you have to adjust the volume on your phone to “maximum” first to get the highest volume out of these. Other than that it’s a solid audio device at a solid price.

Amazon is running a huge sale on first-party Sony games and everyone is invited. Ghost of Tsushima is here for $40 and it brought chips. The Last of Us Part II is sulking in the corner pretending to have a bad time, but it’s $30. God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn, both available for $10, have been flirting all night and we all know where that’s going. There’s plenty of other classics here too, just living their best life at a reduced price. Look, it’s been a rough year and everyone just needs to blow off some steam right now, so this end of the year bash is a perfect send-off for PlayStation 4 owners who just want to party with some big exclusives they missed over the years.
This year is nearing its dramatic conclusion, which means that 2021 is getting ready to rear its ugly head. For now, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be too different from 2020 for a while, so the stay-at-home gaming marathon will continue. If you’re a PlayStation owner and you want to make sure you’re set for coming year, you can get 12 months of PS Plus and 12 months of PS Now for $45 each. PS Plus is an especially good value for new PlayStation 5 owners right now, as it gives you immediate access to an entire library of PS4 classics via the PS Plus Collection. Even if you’re not planning on playing online anytime soon, having games like Persona 5 and Bloodborne on your new console without having to buy them is a nice touch.
The folks who are lucky enough to WFH probably have a bit of clutter going on since our homes are now even more of a safe haven. Luckily the iRobot Roomba i3 Robot Vaccum is here to help. Down to $399 because of a price drop, you’ll be able to clean your carpet and hardwood floors without actually picking up a broom.
I personally use mine in-between a good traditional sweep and mop to keep my living and dining room a bit tidy. This Roomba can be controlled with an app, navigates your home in complete rows, and will automatically dock to charge and undock when it is all powered up. It also comes with automatic dirt disposal so you won’t actually have to bend down and dump your robot when it’s full. What are you waiting for? Grab it before it’s gone.
I too know the unique pain of owning far too many single-use, gimmicky kitchen appliances that leave the countertop after a few months, banished to the basement to collect dust and generate regret every time you pass by.
But even I can get behind the Instant Pot Duo Plus, which is $40 off the regular price at Amazon today. This 6-quart model packs a lot of capabilities into a compact design, letting you pressure cook, slow cook, steam rice and more, sauté, cook eggs, sterilize, and more. It’s pretty great!
Find out why people have been raving over the Instant Pot in recent years by grabbing this Duo Plus edition for just $90 today.
This deal was originally published by Andrew Hayward in November 2020, and was updated on 11/22/20 by Elizabeth Lanier with new information.
