2-Pack Blink Mini 2K+ (newest model)
Two small plug-in indoor cameras that record in up to 2K, for keeping an eye on a room, a pet or the front hall.
$30.99Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Mini 2K+ is Blink's current plug-in camera. It records in up to 2K, has a wide 138-degree diagonal view, two-way talk with noise cancelling, a built-in siren and color night vision when there is a little light in the room. Each camera comes with its own power supply, USB-C cable and mount, and it runs on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
Compared with the Mini 2, Blink lists sharper video, clips of up to 60 seconds and better low-light color. It suits renters and anyone who wants a camera without drilling or wiring. If you want a camera that runs on batteries or sits outside with no outlet nearby, look at Blink's battery models instead.
Worth knowing Saving clips needs either a Blink subscription or a Sync Module 2 with a USB drive, sold separately. Without a plan, live view stops after five minutes and person detection is off. Outdoor use needs Blink's weather-resistant adapter.

Logitech G915 X Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Keyboard (Clicky) - Black
A full-size, very thin wireless mechanical keyboard for people who game and type on the same desk.
$116.99Shop on AmazonLowest price we've postedPrice as ofThe G915 X is Logitech's low-profile mechanical keyboard, about 23 mm tall, with a number pad, dedicated media keys and nine programmable G keys. It connects three ways: Logitech's LIGHTSPEED USB receiver, Bluetooth, or the included USB-C cable. Logitech lists up to 36 hours of use with the lighting at full brightness and far longer with it switched off.
This listing is the clicky version, which gives a sharp click with every press. That suits people who like audible feedback at a home desk. If you share a room or join voice calls often, the linear or tactile versions are quieter.
Worth knowing Clicky switches are loud. The deal needs the coupon on the product page clipped before checkout.

JBL Tour Pro 3 True Wireless Earbuds, Smart Noise Cancelling - Black
Noise-cancelling earbuds whose charging case has a touchscreen and doubles as a transmitter for plane and gym screens.
$199.95See it on AmazonThis deal has endedPrice as ofEach Tour Pro 3 bud has two drivers, a balanced armature for the highs and a 10.2 mm dynamic driver for bass and voices, plus adaptive noise cancelling and multipoint pairing with two devices. The case has a 1.57-inch touchscreen for tracks, calls and settings, so the phone can stay in a pocket.
The unusual part is that the case can plug into a seat-back screen, a treadmill or a PC with the two included cables and send that audio to the earbuds. Frequent flyers get the most from it. If you only listen from your phone, a simpler pair without the screen case covers the same basics.
Worth knowing The high-resolution LDAC codec works only with Android phones that support it; iPhones connect over standard Bluetooth.

A corded upright vacuum whose canister lifts off for stairs and furniture, for homes with carpet and pets.
$124.99Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Navigator NV360 is a long-running Shark upright. Press a button and the canister lifts away from the base so you can carry it up the stairs or onto a sofa. The system is sealed with a washable HEPA and foam filter, and the brushroll can be switched off for bare floors. Shark lists a 25 ft cord, a 9.5-inch cleaning path, a 0.9-quart dust cup and a weight of about 14.4 lbs, with an upholstery tool and a crevice tool included.
It suits a house with carpet that wants plain suction without batteries to replace.
Worth knowing It is corded and fairly heavy compared with a stick vacuum, and the dust cup is small, so expect to empty it often in a big house.
-
A large LEGO bouquet with a brick-built vase, for adult builders and anyone after a flower gift that lasts.
$62.04Shop on AmazonPrice as ofSet 10345 is a 1,161-piece LEGO Botanicals set, rated 18 and up. It builds camellia, peonies, hydrangeas, baby's breath, ranunculus, bouvardia and lilies, along with a brick-built chalice to hold them. The instructions give two ways to build it.
The vase has room for stems from other LEGO flower sets, so it suits someone who already has a bouquet or two and wants a centerpiece to combine them. For a first, smaller build, the line's single bouquets like the roses or sunflowers take less time and space.
Worth knowing It is a display piece for a table or shelf and collects dust like any LEGO model. Other flower sets added to it are sold separately.

Casio WS-1400H Series Watch w/ 60-Lap Memory (Gray)
A simple digital runner's watch with a 60-lap memory and a ten-year battery, for people who want timing without a smartwatch.
$23.97Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe WS-1400H is a resin digital watch built around a 1/100-second stopwatch that stores up to 60 laps. It has an LED light, a stopwatch button on the front, 100-meter water resistance and a battery Casio rates for about ten years. It weighs about 43 g.
It suits runners and swimmers who want lap times on the wrist and nothing to charge. If you want distance, pace or heart rate, you need a GPS watch instead; this one only counts time.
Worth knowing The case measures about 47 by 44.5 mm, which looks large on a small wrist. There is no GPS or phone connection.

A bread machine that bakes a traditional rectangular 2-lb loaf, for households that bake every week.
$364.00Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Virtuoso Plus (BB-PDC20) bakes a horizontal, traditional-shaped 2-lb loaf instead of the tall loaf many machines make. Two kneading blades and an extra heater in the lid help the dough mix evenly and the top crust brown. It has 15 menu settings, including gluten free, salt free, sugar free, vegan, sourdough starter, dough, cake and jam, plus three homemade settings where you set the knead, rise and bake times yourself. A 13-hour delay timer lets you wake up to a finished loaf.
It suits someone who bakes often and wants control over each stage. If you bake now and then, a simpler single-blade machine may be all you need.
Worth knowing It makes only 2-lb loaves and takes up a fair amount of counter space. The nonstick baking pan is a separate part to replace, so it is worth looking after.
