Ring Battery Doorbell 2K (Upgrade Model)
Ring's current entry battery doorbell, a fit for renters or anyone without doorbell wiring at the front door.
$39.99Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Battery Doorbell 2K records square 1920x1920 video with a 140 by 140 degree view, so the frame runs from a visitor's face down to a parcel on the mat. It runs on a built-in rechargeable battery, and if you do have doorbell wiring (8-24VAC) it can trickle-charge from that instead. Two-way talk and up to 6x digital zoom are included.
The Battery Doorbell 2K Plus is the step up: Ring lists a quick-release battery pack for it, which you can swap without taking the doorbell off the wall. If you would rather never think about charging, a wired Ring is the simpler choice.
Worth knowing The battery is built in, so charging means taking the whole doorbell off its mount with the included tool. Saving, reviewing and sharing recorded video needs a paid Ring Protect plan.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds - True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation and Mic
Bose's 2024 noise-cancelling earbuds, for commuters who want strong noise cancelling without paying for the Ultra model.
$119.00Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThese are the QuietComfort Earbuds from 2024, not the older 2020 pair of the same name. Bose lists up to 8.5 hours per charge with noise cancelling, about 2.5 more charges in the case, IPX4 sweat and water resistance, and multipoint so they can stay paired to a phone and a laptop at once. The Bose app has a five-band EQ and adjustable noise cancelling with Quiet, Aware and Off modes.
The QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds add Bose Immersive Audio, CustomTune fitting and Snapdragon Sound, but Bose lists shorter battery life for them. For plain listening and calls, this model covers most of what people use.
Worth knowing No spatial audio and no Snapdragon Sound. A USB-C cable is in the box, a wall adapter is not.

Two 5Ah batteries for anyone already on DeWalt's 20V MAX system who keeps running a drill or saw flat mid-job.
$101.27Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe DCB205-2 is two DCB205 batteries, DeWalt's standard 5Ah pack for the 20V MAX line. Each has an LED charge gauge on the pack, and they fit every 20V MAX tool and charger, so they work with kit you already own. DeWalt rates them at about 60 percent more capacity than its DCB200 pack.
The POWERSTACK DCBP520 is the newer 5Ah option, built with pouch cells in a shorter, lighter pack. For saws, grinders and long drilling sessions, these standard packs do the same job.
Worth knowing Batteries only: no charger in the box. They are heavier and longer than DeWalt's compact 2Ah packs, which matters on small tools used overhead.

THE NORTH FACE Men's Antora Rain Hoodie
A plain, everyday rain shell from The North Face for commuting, dog walks and the odd wet hike.
$84.00See it on AmazonThis deal has endedPrice as ofThe Antora is a two-layer DRYVENT shell: waterproof, windproof and seam-sealed, with a mesh lining in the body and a fluorine-free water-repellent finish on the outside. It has an adjustable three-piece hood, raglan sleeves, zip hand pockets, elastic cuffs and a hem drawcord. Body fabric and lining are recycled polyester.
It is a shell, not a warm coat, and the regular fit leaves room for a fleece or a light insulated jacket underneath in colder months. For long days of hard rain on the trail, a three-layer shell is the sturdier type.
Worth knowing Men's sizing only. There is no insulation, so on its own it is a rain layer for mild weather.

Shark Stratos Upright Vacuum Powered Lift-Away Ultra Powerful Suction & Hair Pickup
A corded Shark upright for homes with pets, carpet and hard floors, and stairs or furniture to clean under.
$264.98Shop on AmazonLowest price we've postedPrice as ofThe Stratos AZ3002 uses Shark's DuoClean PowerFins HairPro head, two brushrolls that handle carpet and hard floors in one pass, with a self-cleaning roll meant to stop hair wrapping around it. The Powered Lift-Away pod comes off the stand so the floor head keeps spinning under beds and sofas, and the sealed system has a HEPA filter. In the box: crevice tool, upholstery tool, a pet power brush and an odor cartridge.
Shark's newer PowerDetect upright is the model above it. Small apartments with mostly hard floors would be better served by a lighter stick vacuum.
Worth knowing It weighs about 22.7 lb and runs on a 25 ft cord. The dust cup holds 1.5 quarts, and the odor cartridges are a refill you buy separately.

A 73-piece wooden block set that snaps together, a gift for toddlers aged 2 and up.
$13.19Shop on AmazonPrice as ofBlockables are solid wood blocks that join with snap-in connectors, so a two-year-old can build something that holds together when they pick it up. The Town set has 30 blocks, 32 connectors, 4 wheels, 4 play figures, felt trees and a felt swing and slide, and an illustrated guide for a playground, a carousel and a car. The box unfolds into a play mat.
Every Blockables set connects with the others, so Farm, Vehicles or Safari can be added later. The wood is FSC-certified.
Worth knowing The deal price needs the coupon on the product page clipped before checkout. The connectors are small and easy to lose, and without them the blocks only stack.
