This is our top power bank recommendation for anyone who wants to recharge anything other than a smartphone. The 25,000-mAh is plenty large (and still airline-compliant), and it can deliver up to 165 watts to two devices (100 watts for a single device). That’s enough to recharge a MacBook Air or even a Pro.

Our favorite wireless earbuds, the Nothing Ear (a) have a super-slick design with a semi-transparent charging case. They offer incredible value even at full-price, and this deal matches the best we’ve ever tracked. They’re lightweight and comfortable, with balanced sound that can be customized using the app. They also have excellent touch controls, solid battery life, and active noise canceling. They’re very hard to beat, especially at this price. —Louryn Strampe

The G2 is an updated version of the original Chi flat iron, the first straightener to use ceramic plates. inspired by the ceramics inside Italian pizza ovens. Designed with titanium-infused ceramic plates, the G2 has dual voltage and a digital display that changes color with the temperature. Editor Kat Merck says it heats up in under a minute (which is fast) and remembers your last temperature setting. —Boutayna Chokrane

Roku
Streaming Stick Plus (2025)
There’s no simpler (and cheaper) way of bringing smart capabilities to your television.

The Roku Streaming Stick Plus is the latest model that came out this year, coming with 4K picture quality, a simple, do-it-all remote, and tons of free live TV options.—Luke Larsen

Most people don’t want to spend over $100 on a mouse for gaming, and the SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 makes you think you shouldn’t even need to. The wired model is on sale for only $24, which is $15 off the retail price. You’ll probably want the wireless version though, which is $45. That’s still a huge discount over the standard wireless gaming mouse. And yet, it still comes with high-end performance and features, such as the 18K optical sensor. The main compromises are the fact that it runs on batteries and is a bit heavier than other mice, weighing 156 grams.—Luke Larsen
Best Health and Fitness Tracker Deals: Fitbit Charge 6 For $100 ($60 off)

There’s no fitness tracker that truly competes with the Fitbit Charge 6. Despite being two years old, the Fitness Charge 6 remains the de facto option, long battery life and a full suite of health metrics to obsess over, including really accurate heart rate tracking. It might not feel as premium as an Apple Watch, and it doesn’t have fall protection, but for the price, the Fitness Charge 6 is as good as it gets.—Luke Larsen
Best Pimple Patch Deal: Starface Hydro-Stars Big Pack for $20 ($7 Off)

Starface
Hydro-Star Pimple Patches
If I could thank Gen-Z for anything, it would be pimple patches. There used to be a time when zits meant pore-clogging makeup. Nowadays, if you have a pimple, slap a shiny yellow star on it. Call it the beautification of acne. Starface has triumphed in this industry, offering colorful star-shaped stickers that almost feel like an accessory. Do I color-coordinate with whatever outfit I’m wearing? Yes. Does that mean all my Starface stickers are black? Also, yes. But for $7 off, maybe I’ll start wearing yellow. —Boutayna Chokrane
