Patch deals of the day:

The Patch Deals team scours the web for deals we think you'll love. These limited-time offers are worth a look — especially if you're doing some early holiday shopping.

• Seido Japanese master knife set (71 percent off) — This 5-piece set of chef-quality knives comes in at just under $70. They're sharp, durable and cost a fraction of what you'd pay for similar high-quality knives.
• Flux 7 TWS earbuds with wireless charging case & power bank (75 percent off) — Why pay $100+ for earbuds when you can get these well-rated wonders on sale for just $25?
• Pressure Putt Trainer (53 percent off) — Small enough to fold up and easily fit in a golf bag, the Pressure Putt Trainer was developed using drills that pro golfers use to build confidence for achieving the perfect putt.
