This Petcube camera is the perfect gift for dog-lovers or anyone who wants to see what their pets are really up to when they aren't home. Besides acting as a 720p Wi-Fi camera that you can watch in real-time on your phone at work, this cam also has two-way audio so you can have conversations with your pet (we are totally not judging you here) and a laser toy in case you feel the need to entertain your cat during the work day (OK, now we're judging).
If that doesn't convince you, the adorable video on the product page will.

Mars Veterinary Dog Breed Identification DNA Test Kit, $54.47
If you've ever wanted to know the exact makeup of your loveable mut, or wanted a more detailed breakdown of your furry friend, Mars Veterinary has marked down its DNA kit so you can find out. The kit comes with a cheek swab that you send in a pre-paid envelope to Mars' lab for an officially licensed canine DNA test that is returned in two to three weeks.
The $54 price tag isn't exactly bargain-bin stuff, but it's a big discount from the normal $80 price tag and a small price to pay for a full DNA profile of your best friend.
And after they sit through their DNA test, reward them with some discounted dental doggy treats from Greenies.

Amazon's Echo has a $30 markdown again, with a catch: The in-demand devices won't be in stock until December 27 or 28, depending on whether you want black or white. So if you want an Echo and can stand to wait until after Christmas, now is the time to put your order in.

ASUS ZenWatch 2 Smart Watch, $119
If you don't want to drop $600 on an Apple Watch (and we wouldn't blame you at all if you don't), Asus' ZenWatch is a great alternative (and a little more stylish, in our opinion). It runs an Android OS, but is compatible with iPhones for reading texts and other notifications. And you can get it for just $119 today.

Anker SoundCore Special Edition Bluetooth Speaker, $46
Anker's Bluetooth speaker is one of the best out there. Right now, you can get the speaker, a nifty carrying case and a special holiday box for just $4 more than you'd get for just the speaker itself. For holiday gifts, it doesn't get much better than this.
BLACK+DECKER 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Drill and Project Kit, $78

All-Clad Master Chef 2 Cookware Set, 7-Piece (Save $189)
All-Clad cookware is hands-down the best you can get, but it can run a little bit pricey because it's a) made in the USA and b) made by combining three different metals which isn't exactly a cheap process. (You can read more here.)
If you want to make the jump, though, or give it away to someone special, you can get discounts on a 7-piece set and a 10-piece set right now.
