The Anker MagGo 633 is featured in several of our buying guides, including our list of the best MagSafe accessories and our list of the best portable chargers. It’s an ingenious little gadget. The wireless charging stand serves as a good starting point for charging compatible iPhones and AirPods. When you’re on the go, you can slide the wireless charger up and out of its stand – it doubles as a portable power bank. We track the prices for products we recommend, and this offer is only $5 more than the best price we’ve seen for it.
This offer is the lowest price we’ve seen for our favorite Android smartphone. The Pixel 6A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is often found on sale, but even at full price it’s incredible value. It’s hard to find a better cheap phone (or Android phone in general) out there.
This is in line with the best deal we’ve seen for the second-gen AirPods Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends). It’s been around for a few weeks but the price is still good. There are many great headphones out there, but these are pretty much irreplaceable for people who use an iPhone. They’re comfortable, sound amazing, and pair seamlessly with Apple devices.

They’re not the latest model, but the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are still a fabulous little pair of earbuds. This is especially true for people using Android phones. Both the sound quality and comfort are top-notch, and they come in a wide range of fun colors.
Offers for smart home and computers
This comes up for sale fairly often and we’ve seen it drop another $20 in the past, but we still think this is a reasonable price for our favorite robot vacuum. The Q5+ is absolutely reliable. It will even empty its own trash can.

The Echo Show 8 is a great smart display. It’s the middle child of the lineup, size-wise and large enough that weather updates and recipes remain legible, but not so big that it takes up more space than it deserves. Read more in our guides to the best smart displays and the best Alexa speakers.
The Stream Deck can control more than just your streaming setup. From running scripts to controlling smart home gadgets, we have a guide on how to be more productive with the help of this device. This offer is one of the lowest prices we have seen.
This is the latest iteration of a solid state drive that we recommend in our Best Portable Hard Drives guide. It’s now the lowest price we’ve tracked since its release. The tough exterior means your digital media is protected from wind, rain, dust, snow and anything else the environment might throw at you. The internals are fast too, and security features are built in.
We’re highlighting this device in our list of the best flash drives as a good looking option with a small footprint. The drive is so small that you can safely leave it connected all the time. Don’t let the size fool you – this drive still performs nippy. We also like the built-in keychain loop.
Fitness and outdoor offers
It dropped to $70 during Black Friday, so there’s a chance this tracker will get cheaper in the future. If you’re in the market now, this is the best budget fitness tracker out there. It’s simple and relatively straightforward, and the often-mimicked design is attractive. If you don’t need a lot of bells and whistles, but you do Do If you need to track your exercise and sleep, this is a solid option.

February is still quite chilly in many parts of the world and now is a great time to snag a sale on last season’s outdoor gear. WIRED favorite REI currently has many offers at 60 percent off or more. We featured the Microdini Hoodie on this year’s Wishlist because it combines two of Patagonia’s most popular fabrics, durable Houdini nylon and recycled Micro D-fleece. Strangely, the women’s version isn’t on sale, but the kids’ version ($53) is.
This is an easy purchase for anyone outdoors. The offer is valid for both the colors orange and blue. This simple fanny pack folds into a tiny package when not in use. You can sign up for the rewards program to get free shipping.
