Daily gear deals – $90 Garmin GPS, National Geographic DVD set and more

Here are the hottest gear deals for today, Friday December 18th 2009. Remember, these deals are often valid for just one day, so act fast before they are gone. If you are ordering any of these items for Christmas, be sure to check with the retailer whether they can ship it on time!

Today’s first deal is great if you are still shopping for a last minute gift – the Garmin Nuvi 205 is on sale at Amazon for $89. However, if you don’t mind spending one buck more, you can pick up the wide screen version of the Nuvi 205 at Best Buy for just $89.99. Click here for this deal.

Next up is a six piece hiking survival kit. I don’t recommend relying on this for hardcore hiking, but it may be handy on short walks around the neighborhood. Included in the kid is a waist pack, water bottle, pocket knife, flashlight and whistle/compass/thermometer. On sale for just $4.99 + $5 shipping. Click here for this deal.

Today’s third deal is really cool – every single National Geographic ever published since 1888 (up till 2008) on a 7 DVD-ROM set. Normal price is $70, but Macmall is selling it today for just $43.99. Runs on Windows (XP or higher) and Mac OS X. Click here for this deal.

And finally in today’s lineup, in the final day of the Amazon 12 days of MP3, they are selling the Creative Zen MX 16GB player for just $84.99, making it one of the cheapest 16GB players on the market. It supports photos, music and video, and even includes an FM radio, voice recorder and alarm. Click here for this deal.
