If you want to hear about a good deal on earbuds, listen up! Amazon currently has Sennheiser’s Momentum earbuds for $100. That’s $200 off the original price, which is music to my ears. Here’s the basic feature rundown. These are wireless Bluetooth buds that come with their own charging case, which add two extra charges to the buds. That brings the battery life up from four hours to 12. They have touch controls, so you can control music and calls with a tap of your finger. It’s a pretty complete feature set for a heavily discounted price, so consider shoving these in your ears if you’re in the market for a new pair.

I don’t know about you, but even pre-pandemic, I hated to go to the grocery store. I would either go up and down the aisles and get nothing or get everything—especially if I didn’t eat lunch or breakfast before my journey.

Luckily, because of a cute little sale at Best Buy, you can get your hands on a $100 Instacart Gift Card for $80, which is $20 off the original list price. So stock up on ginger ale, liquor, and all other essentials to bunker in until we can all get vaccinated later. Yes, we, unfortunately, have to outsource to keep safe, but you know, capitalism is the real villain here. Grab it before it’s gone!

For those overwhelmed by the constant feelings of anxiety induced by the holidays, especially in the year of our lord 2020, you’re probably in the market for some much-needed R&R. Whether you’re going home for the holidays or wisely choosing to spend your time with family virtually, few things will put you on edge quite like yet another rant from your uncle about how the election was stolen by JFK Jr. or whatever. So whenever politics inevitably come up, do what I’d do and pop a bottle of Sunday Scaries spearmint- and cinnamon-spiced CBD drops for 30% off the list price using our exclusive promo code KINJA30.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when I need a little CBD in my life, Sunday Scaries always comes through, and though I haven’t tried the spiced drops myself, if they’re anything like the Gummies for Chillin’—my personal favorite product of theirs—you can rest assured they’ll be as tasty as they are effective. Calm down and cool off by the fireplace, and roast some chestnuts for God’s sake! Throw on that Donny Hathaway and don’t mind the groove brought on by this vegan, non-psychoactive cannabinoid snack. Embrace it. Happy holidays from Kinja Deals.

If you’re looking for some digital stocking stuffers this year, Newegg currently has discounts on Xbox and Nintendo gift cards. You can grab a $100 Xbox gift card for $90 when you use the code 84LCFHD273 and a $50 Nintendo card for $46 when you use the code 84LCFHD274. You won’t get physical cards, so you can’t actually stuff them into a big sock, but you can always print them out to simulate the experience of getting a card. The Xbox card is especially a good deal considering that they can be used to buy consoles. Buy three of those cards and you can save $30 on a Series S! You’ve got to love an elaborate life hack.

Super comfy PJs are always needed and if you’re thinking of gifting that glorious present then we’d like to recommend Crane & Canopy. Their Layla Pajama Sleep Set is 40% when you use the code KINJAPJS. This deal runs until December 21 but make a thoughtful and classy offering.

If you’re familiar with the brand you know luxury is their game and that’s in everything they do from bath to bedding and even to PJs. There is something very retro about a matching pajama set like this, especially with the classic contrast piping. Getting these monogrammed absolutely adds a layer of prep and chicness. They’re soft, feel stretchy, and above all are relaxed to get a great night’s sleep. They come in three colors light grey, navy, and black. And this two-piece set is a rayon blend and runs in extra small to extra large.

This will ship for $16 but make a glamourous gift for the holidays.

#7: Zojirushi 1.8-liter rice cooker

For those who bother to know the writers behind these deal posts every morning, you’d know that I, Ignacia Fulcher, am a proud Afro-Latina. Along with that part of my heritage, I belong to a cute little subset of African Americans called the Gullah/Geechee. It’s a people with a rich history, and that history usually revolves around rice and community.

I’ve had to learn how to cook rice because if I didn’t? I’d be dragged within an inch of my life. That’s where this Zojirushi Induction Heating Rice Cooker comes into play. It’s $268, but it’s about $150 off the original list price of $420 and cooks 1.8 liters of all kinds of rice PERFECTLY every. Damn. Time.

If you’re tired of slaving over a hot pot each year for the holidays, I’d suggest you’d invest in this bad gadget. It’s powered with an induction heater that will cook and keep your rice warm from the bottom, sides, and lid, which means you can open it up and see a steaming Carolina blend, or black-eyed peas and rice staring at you beautifully. It’s truly the chef’s kiss of small kitchen appliances, and as a seasoned rice maker? It’s worth the money.

No one ever said getting in shape was easy, but it can be affordable, as evidenced by this Eufy C1 smart scale deal. For $19 right now, you can start tracking your weight in a healthy way—from the comfort of a Bluetooth-connected smartphone. Just clip the coupon on the page and you’re set for a whopping 42% discount at checkout.

A bespoke companion app breaks down granular metrics including overall weight, percent body fat, BMI, bone mass, muscle mass, and more. While not as accurate as Eufy’s P1 smart scale due to its less exact sensors, its results are equally comprehensive. Plus, one account supports up to 16 users, so even the biggest households can keep tabs on their fitness gains. And if you’re already invested in another app like Apple Health, Google Fit, or Fitbit, you’ll be happy to know that the Eufy C1 smart scale is compatible with all three.
