Kindle history sale
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Amazon’s running a big sale on Kindle ebooks, today only. This time around, you get your choice of over two dozen history books, including the story of the secret female pope and a dive into Russia’s hacking capabilities (timely!). Click here to see the rest of the titles, all of which are on sale for $4 or less.
Gaiam balance ball chairs, $55
If you’ve resolved to get in better shape or improve your posture in 2017, these discounted balance ball chairs can help you get it done without any real time commitment.
Amazon is offering the iconic Gaiam balance ball chair in a variety of colors for $55, today only. That’s one of the lowest prices ever listed, and about $15-$25 less than usual. If you’re on the fence, check Lifehacker’s impressions of the chair for an in-depth review.
Etekcity desk lamp with USB charging port, four color temps, and LCD display, $30 with code 9RY2VFM4
$30 is a solid price for any LED desk lamp, but it’s one of the best we’ve ever seen for a model that includes a USB charging port and adjustable color temperature, which can seriously boost your productivity. Hell, it even includes an LCD display that shows you the time, date, and current air temperature, which nobody ever asked for, but actually seems kind of cool.
X-Chef 30-ounce tumbler, $10
Before you go out and flush $30 down the drain on a Yeti Rambler, check out this X-Chef alternative for just $10 on Amazon today, one of the best deals we’ve ever seen on this kind of thing. It uses the same vacuum-insulated stainless steel construction as a Yeti or RTIC, so it should keep ice frozen for hours or even days, and hot drinks hot for as long as you need.
Yi home camera, $29
Yi, manufacturer of your favorite affordable action cam, also makes a home IP security camera, and Prime members can pick it up for just $29 today.
The Yi home camera includes all the basic features you’d expect, including two-way audio, automatic activity alerts to your phone, and remote monitoring. And unlike other companies that rely on cloud storage and monthly fees, the Yi stores your files on an onboard microSD card, no membership required.
Tytan Magnetic Space Putty, $10 with code LSB9FI68
Just watch the video above, and try not to spend $10 on this (with code LSB9FI68). I dare you.
Note: I couldn’t find a video of this exact brand of space putty, but they’re all basically identical.
While you’re at it, you can buy 160 magnetic balls with a magnetic base for $10 too.
