Black Diamond’s 400-lumen headlamp offers adjustable brightness, a red night-vision mode, and an IPX8 waterproof rating for wet nights.

The Moji Plus puts out 200 lumens of warm, dimmable light with adjustable brightness, plus an IPX4 water-resistance rating.

Original price: $30 | Savings: $11

The latest Tile tracker lets you keep tabs on your belongings from up to 350 feet away—100 feet farther than its predecessor. The handy item finder is platform-agnostic and can send SOS alerts, though only with a Life360 Gold subscription ($14.99/month).

Original price: $35 | Savings: $7

Owala’s FreeSip Sway, a staple in our gift guides and my personal daily driver, is on sale at Amazon and Target in several bright colors for $27.99 ($7 off), matching its lowest price to date. I consider the 30-ounce vessel the best of both worlds—it features a built-in straw and a wide-mouth spout for when you want a proper swig. It’s also tapered just enough at the bottom to fit in standard cupholders, which was my biggest gripe with previous models.

Best Smart Home Deals Under $50

Eve Energy Smart Plug (Matter/Thread) — $30

Original price: $40 | Savings: $10

The Eve Energy smart plug supports Matter and Thread for rock-solid connectivity, energy monitoring, and seamless HomeKit integration—no hub required.
