Your time is running out to get something for mom — Mother's Day is this weekend. To help you out, here's a big choice of jewelry on sale — earrings, necklaces, bracelets — that won't break your bank.
Petcube Interactive Wi-Fi Pet Camera (Save $50)
This is on sale again today, so we're just gonna bring this one back again since it's so interesting:
Ever wonder what your pets do when you're not around? You don't have to any more. (Don't try to spy on the Patch Deal Hound, though. We just sit at our computer all day.)
There's a couple of crazy features in here:
- Petcube uses wifi to sync with a phone app so you can watch your pets. That seems pretty standard.
- It has a laser in it that you control, so your pets can chase it around the floor.
- You can take photos and videos of your pets while they're home alone. Or while you're there with them. No judgement.
- It has two-way audio, so you can talk to your pets. (No, we are not kidding.)
It's on sale today, if you want to take your relationship with your dog or cat to the next level.
This bluetooth speaker, in addition to playing music, can also take calls through just about every major phone brand.
We aren't too familiar with Sharkk or their bluetooth speakers. Wirecutter praised its volume levels for its size (if you really want to get thumpin') but wasn't too impressed with the sound quality. The good news: Sharkk is advertising a full refund if you aren't happy.
Anker PowerLine 10ft Apple MFi Certified Lightning Cable (Save $36)
Today in you-can't-have-too-many-iPhone-cords: a 10-foot long one, for those power outlets that are so far away. And you can get it in four different colors.
Several of Amazon's popular Kindle e-readers are still marked down. Get $20 off the Kindle Fire Kids and the best-selling Kindle Paperwhite or save $50 on the Fire HD 10. Or you can still pick up used Kindle Fires starting at $30 here.
(They make great Mother's Day gifts.)
Nixplay Edge 8-Inch Wi-Fi Cloud Digital Photo Frame with Hi-Res Display (Save $45)
This digital picture frame let's you send photos (and videos) to it via email or from an iPhone/Android app. Even if that is complicated, mom will still find a way to get those embarrassing pictures of you in there one way or another.
We're just gonna keep throwing this out there until Mother's Day (and point you to our handy gift guide). Flowers are always a hit, and Amazon's prices are competitive with other online flower shops and sometimes cheaper.
Check out their full selection here.
Star Wars Photomosaic: Darth Vader - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle ($6 off)
The first of many Star Wars-themed deals we'll share today. This one has a strict sales limit, so get in now. And come check back with us throughout the day for more.
Star Wars Lightsaber BBQ Tongs with Sounds (Save $10.82)
Descending into nerd-dom here (and there's nothing wrong with that), these tongs make lightsaber sound effects while you're throwing steaks on the grill. Perfect for anyone food- and Star Wars-obsessed. There's only a limited amount available, so you have to pull the trigger (push the lightsaber button?) on this one soon.
Wilton Darth Vader Cake Pan (16 percent off)
Bake a cake... in the shape of Darth Vader's mask.
Star Wars Death Star Kitchen Timer with Lights and Sounds ($16 off)
Another Star Wars/kitchen-themed accessory is just 15 bucks and allegedly shoots a laser and makes cool sounds when the time is up. (No word on whether planets are destroyed in the process.) And again, there is a limited amount available at the discount.
Star Wars Death Star Spatula, $12.49
Are you starting to see a theme here? Here's yet another Star Wars/kitchen item on sale today. (Again, with a limited selection available.)
Star Wars Lightsaber Bottle Opener (Save $10)
We imagine a real lightsaber would make for a pretty ineffective bottle opener. This replica of Luke's handle, though, probably works a little bit better.
Star Wars Photomosaic: Yoda - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Just $8.99)
Excellent deal, this puzzle is. But buy soon, you must, for a limited amount is available. (Other puzzles you can get discounted: R2D2/C3PO, Boba Fett, and Han and Chewie.)
