Nextbit Robin phone, $118

The Nextbit Robin is an Android phone that aims to assuage your storage fears. If its 32GB of flash memory fill up, it’ll start uploading your apps and photos to a 100GB cloud account, leaving behind “ghost” icons that can re-download them on demand. It’s a feature that’s since been replicated elsewhere, but it’s still a solid phone for $118.

Amazon’s compatibility chart says it works on AT&T and only partially on T-Mobile, but every review I saw said it works perfectly fine on T-Mobile, if that’s your carrier of choice.


Audioengine A2+ pair of speakers, $199; Audioengine A5+ pair of speakers, $319

Audioengine makes some of the best speakers on the market, and both their A2+ and their larger, louder A5+ models have rare discounts on Amazon today.

The A2+ checks in at $199 for a pair, which is about $50 less than usual, while the A5+ are priced at $319, or $80 off. These would work great as home theater speakers, but the included DAC also lets you run them directly from your computer’s USB port as well.


SoundPEATS true wireless Bluetooth earbuds, $35 with code ROW25QCG

You don’t need to pay Apple $160 to enjoy truly wireless earbuds: These SoundPEATS look nearly identical to the AXGIO earbuds that I tried out last year, but with updated Bluetooth tech (4.2 vs. 4.1) and a lower price tag. They’re not as sleek as some other truly wireless headphones on the market like AirPods or the Bragi Dash, but you can’t beat that price.


Swiss Army Knife Gold Box; Father’s Day gift Gold Box

If you still haven’t gotten around to picking out a Father’s Day gift, Amazon’s here to bail you out with a pair of Gold Box deals full of popular, if a little clichéd, ideas.

First up, you can choose from four discounted Swiss Army knives for $22 or less. You won’t find any particularly unique models here—they’re all red and include a basic assortment of tools—but you can never go wrong with one of these.

The second Gold Box is a bit more varied and includes tools, a flashlight, a set of earmuffs with a radio built in, and… a shelf. Who wouldn’t want a shelf, right? A few of the deals are below, but you can find them all here. Just remember that for both Gold Boxes, these prices are only available today, and they’re subject to sell out early.


2-pack OxyLED T-02 mini motion lights, $12

OxyLED’s T-02 minis are, you guessed it, the smallest version of the company’s popular line of motion-sensing stick-anywhere lights. They’re great for cabinets and small closets, and you can get two for $12 with promo code KINJA2MI today.


X-Chef 30 oz. tumbler, $9 with code 5APPKUTN

Before you go out and flush $30 down the drain on a Yeti Rambler, check out this X-Chef alternative for just $9 on Amazon today (with code 5APPKUTN), one of the best deals we’ve ever seen on this kind of cup. 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.


Bowflex SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells, $205

These uber-popular Bowflex adjustable dumbbells had a ton of fantastic (if short-lived) deals in April and May, but if you didn’t pull the trigger back then, they’re back down to $205 today, even if you aren’t a Prime member. Just keep the poor delivery drivers in your thoughts.


Star Wars Episodes I-III, $30; Star Wars Episodes IV-VI, $30

Now that the Star Wars franchise is alive and well again, you can get caught up with the two original trilogies on Blu-ray for $30 each, complete with a bunch of special features. Place your bets on which one will sell better in the comments!
