Tile by Life360 Mate 4-pack — $49.99 (normally $79.99)
If you’re looking for a luggage tracker other than the much-lauded Apple AirTag, Tile is certainly a worthy contender. The tracker is compatible with most cellphone operating systems, including Android and iOS, and various smart home devices. It’s also water-resistant and is on sale for much cheaper than an AirTag set of four.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB — $124.99 (normally $159.99)

For any fellow voracious readers, the newest Kindle Paperwhite is on sale this week. Its Paperwhite display provides a no-glare screen, and its battery lasts up to 12 weeks. You can even use library apps like Libby to download books via your local library instead of purchasing digital copies online. And if you trade in your old Kindle, you can save an extra 20%.

The “tunnel vision grey” color is an Amazon-exclusive, and the bag comes with an easy front-zip pocket, an internal laptop sleeve and a luggage sleeve so you can strap it to your roller bag for easy maneuvering. What I personally love about this backpack is that the zipper goes all the way around, allowing you to open it like a carry-on. This makes it easier to pack.
