Amazon Kindle Scribe (64 GB) – $329.99 (21% off)
The Kindle Scribe is a one-of-a-kind device that not only functions as a regular kindle (one of the best e-reading devices on the market) but it also allows you to draw and take notes right on the screen with a stylus. This isn’t your regular old tablet-style ready. The e-Ink display adds a level of realism that’s tough to replicate with an iPad or even a Fire tablet.
Amazon Smart Thermostat – $55.99 (30% off)
If you’ve ever wanted a smart thermostat in the house, this is a solid choice, especially for the price. If you’re already invested in Amazon’s Echo ecosystem, it’s even better!

They also feature active noise cancellation and come with 4 different sizes of silicone tips.
Echo (4th Gen) – $54.99 (45% off)
If you’ve been curious about diving into an Alexa product, the Echo is a great place to start. It’s a smart speaker that can play your music, update you on the news or the weather, and even help you order things from Amazon. It’s a great product all year round, but there’s no better time to pick one up than when it’s nearly half off.

Sony 43-Inch 4K Ultra HD TV X77L Series – $398 (12% off)
This Sony features a 4K X1 processor that delivers a rich picture with a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Like most, it’s a SmartTV, this one featuring GoogleTV capabilities, complete with Google Assistant and even Apple Airplay features.

Includes 1 multi-task spatula, 1 fork, 1 knife, 1 tongs, 1 basting brush, 1 grill mitts, 1 meat injector, 1 instant thermometer, 1 waiter’s corkscrew, 1 grill brush with scraper, 1 extra brush head, 2 shakers for salt and pepper, 4 BBQ skewers, 8 corn holders, 1 durable zipper bag

ThisWorx Car Vacuum Cleaner 2.0 (white) – $34.99 (13% off)
One of our personal favorite car vacs, the ThisWorx doesn’t disappoint. It’s nearly always the best-selling vacuum on Amazon and for good reason. It utilizes a 110W motor for suction, comes with 3 attachments (flathead, extendable and brush nozzle), a carrying bag, a filter-cleaning brush and a removable and washable HEPA filter. It’s got a 16-foot power cord to make maneuvering easier. The best part? It only weighs 2.6 lbs.
ThisWorx Cordless Car Vacuum – $41.99 (w/ $8 off digital coupon)
Very similar to the vac above, but this one is cordless! According to the listing it features “a rechargeable lithium ion battery that holds its charge for up to 18 months,” though, we can only assume that means when it’s not in use. Sadly, there’s no time listed for how long you can use it for on a full charge, so we still recommend the cheaper corded version above, but if you want to take a swing, the option is available for you.
VacLife Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor – $33.99 (24% off)
This portable tire inflator plugs right into your car’s 12V lighter port, has a 9.8 ft power cord, and has an automatic shut off capability. “This tire inflator is not applicable for any large vehicles with TIRE PRESSURE > 50 PSI and TIRE WIDTH > 245 MM such as truck, vans and off-road vehicles
