Kuman Arduino starter kit, $30 with code OW78OUCM
Lifehacker has posted more Arduino projects than Trump has tweets, and Amazon’s selling starter kits for $30 today, one of the best prices we’ve ever seen.
This beginner-friendly set includes 44 components to get you started, including cool stuff like vibration and temperature sensors, a small screen, and a PDF to get you started with the basics. Just be sure to use promo code OW78OUCM at checkout to save $10.
Refurb Samsung Gear S2, $100
Samsung’s Gear S2 is one of the best-looking wearables on the market, and that rotating bezel is a stroke of genius. If you don’t mind a refurb, Amazon’s selling them today for $100, the best price we’ve ever seen. Just note that this is a Gold Box deal, meaning it’s only available today, or until sold out.
Tile combo pack, $70
Tile is the ultimate device for anyone who can’t stop losing their things, and you can get four Tiles (in two different designs) for $70 today, an all-time low.
You’ll get two Tile Slims, which are designed to slide into a wallet or stick to objects, and two Tile Mates, which you can attach to keychains or keep in bags. Once you have your Tiles in place, the Tile app on your phone can ping them over Bluetooth and cause them to beep until you find what you’re looking for. And if your lost item is outside of your phone’s Bluetooth range, it’ll show up on a map automatically any time another Tile user comes into range.
Buying these Tiles a la carte would set you back $100, so if you can think of four things you want to track, this is a fantastic bargain.
Anker LC40 flashlight, $10 with code R6RDYI3S
Anker LC130 flashlight, $48
Anker, producer of a lot of your favorite charging gear, has its own line of flashlights now, and two different models are on sale today.
The cheaper LC40 model is IP65 dust and water resistant, but actually doesn’t include a rechargeable battery. However, you can run it on three AAAs or a single rechargeable 18650 battery, which is cheap and easy to find.
The next step up is far brighter (1300 lumens vs. 400), IP67 rated (meaning you can use it submerged in shallow water) and includes a rechargeable battery and a microUSB port for charging. Basically, it’s the only flashlight you need. $48 is $12 less than usual, and within $2 of the best deal we’ve ever seen.
Ninja Coffee Bar with thermal carafe, $122
Ninja’s high-end coffee maker has all the bells and whistles you could want in a coffee machine, and you can pick one up for $122 today, easily the best price we’ve seen on the model with a thermal carafe.
The headlining feature here is Ninja’s Auto-iQ system, which automatically adjusts the water level based on the brew size and type you select, but you’ll also get a permanent filter, milk frother, and tumbler in the box. Just note that this deal is only available today, so don’t sleep on it.
TaoTronics LED desk lamp, $23 with code JNXBFAXD
Aukey battery-powered LED desk lamp, $20 with code AUKEYST7
I’m not sure when desk lamps started getting so pretty, but I’m okay with it. We’ve got two different models on sale today for $23 or less, either of which would be a great choice.
The $23 TaoTronics lamp includes four different color temperatures, which can boost your productivity during the day, and help you wind down in the evening. The $20 Aukey model only has one temperature, but it can run off a battery, and folds down small enough to fit in your pocket.
Silicone grill gloves, $8 with code ERKPPP8A
With a good set of silicone cooking gloves, you’ll have full finger control when you handle hot pans in the kitchen. Hell, you could use them to just pick up a piece of meat directly off the grill, like some sort of barbecue superhero. For $8, why not?
TP-Link Smart Plug Mini, $35
Like the idea of a Belkin WeMo Switch, but want something that won’t cover your other outlet? This TP-Link Smart Plug Mini is your answer, and its down to its best price ever.
Just like a WeMo switch, TP-Link’s Smart Plug Mini will let you turn appliances on and off from your smartphone, and set schedules to toggle them automatically. The only major feature it’s lacking is IFTTT support, but it will integrate with an Amazon Echo for voice control.
Philips HF3500 wake-up light, $50 after $20 coupon
While there is a Vansky wake-up light on sale for $36 today, if you’d prefer a name-brand model, the Philips HF3500 is on sale for $50 right now, one of the best prices we’ve ever seen. Just be sure to clip the $20 coupon, and note that you won’t see the discount until checkout.
iCorer pop-up cabana, $18
Sport-Brella has long been one of our readers’ favorite beach accessories, but this pop-up tent serves the same purpose for just $18.
The iCorer pop-up cabana unfolds and collapses in just seconds, no assembly required. And if it’s windy, you also get six metal stakes, and two sand bags to keep it anchored. It’s definitely not as spacious as the Sport-Brella, but it can still provide a couple of people a bit of relief from the sun.
