You can also find this deal directly at Anker with an auto-applied discount code.

  • Glocusent Tri-Head Clip-On Book Light for $16 ($4 off): The Glocusent book light is versatile, able to stand on a desk or clip onto a book, casting a broad and even light across large pages. It’s one of the highlighted items in our gift guide for book lovers, making it a thoughtful gift.

  • Beshon European Travel Plug Adapter (Two-Pack) for $13 ($6 off with Prime): If you have plans to travel internationally, this adapter is a must-have. It’s recommended by Engadget’s Valentina Palladino in our gifts for travelers guide, and there are versions available for Ireland, China, and Japan as well.

  • Elden Ring (PS4, PS5, Xbox) for $20 ($40 off): This game, one of our all-time favorites, is available at the lowest price we’ve seen so far. It offers an impressively handcrafted experience despite its expansive scale, ensuring that it never feels overwhelming. You can also find it at Best Buy.

  • Amazon Smart Plug for $13 ($12 off): If you depend on Alexa as your smart home assistant, this affordable and reliable smart plug is an easy way to control your lamps, fans, and even holiday lights. It was one of the most dependable and straightforward plugs I tested during my reviews.

  • Anker Nano II 713 Charger (45W) for $20 ($20 off): This powerful 45-watt charger features a single USB-C port, allowing you to take advantage of the faster charging speeds offered by newer devices (just ensure you use a compatible high-quality cable).

  • Chipolo ONE for $20 ($5 off): This compact Bluetooth tracker is our top choice overall, featuring a loud alarm to alert you when you’ve left your keys or other items behind. While it lacks a broad finding network for locating items lost in public places, it excels at helping you retrieve everyday items misplaced within your home.

  • Belkin Apple AirTag Secure Holder for $15 ($5 off): AirTags are an excellent tool for tracking your belongings, especially for iPhone users, but they lack an attachment method. This secure holder is one of our recommended accessories for attaching AirTags to luggage and more. It’s also available at Amazon.

  • Elevation Lab TagVault (2 Pack) for $16 ($4 off with Prime): Another recommended product from our guide, this fabric mount from Elevation Lab is perfect for securely attaching an AirTag inside your coat, backpack, or any other item you want to keep track of.

  • Anker USB-C 240W Bio-Braided Cable for $12 ($5 off): A fast charger is only as good as the cable it uses. This 240W Anker cable is featured in our best iPhone accessories list and can rapidly charge any device with a USB-C port, maximizing the capabilities of your charger.

  • Peak Design Packable Tote for $16 ($4 off): We recommend this versatile bag in our travel gift guide. It features a zip closure, water-resistant material, and a padded shoulder/hand strap, plus it conveniently packs into itself, taking up minimal space—about the size of a deck of cards.
