Daily deal – REI Traverse daypack in red for $19.83

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for the REI Traverse daypack. This (women’s) daypack only comes in red and offers a huge amount of storage space.

Inside the spacious pack is a special sleeve for holding a hydration pack as well as pockets for smaller items like a compass, multi-tool or a flashlight.

The bag has been specially designed for woman, and has a molded backpanel with air channels to help keep your back cool and dry.

The REI Traverse daypack normally retails for just under $70, but is currently on clearance for just $19.83.

If you chose the REI “ship to store” option, you can pick it up at your local REI store, plus you’ll save on their $5.99 shipping charge.

As with all deals like this, if it’s something you need, don’t wait too long to order as this bag is sure to sell out before the end of the afternoon.

Daily deal – iFrogz iPod kid friendly case + headphones for $12

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for a product that can help keep your kids entertained on your next trip. The iFrogz Tadpole kit consists of a kid friendly iPod case and a pair of kids headphones. The products come in nice bright colors (green or purple) and the case is made of a sturdy yet soft non-stick silicone.

Once your iPod is inside the case, your little one will be able to hold onto it using the 2 large handles on the side. The case even comes with a screen protector, to keep your iPod screen free from scratches.

The kit normally retails for $34.99, but it is currently on sale for $14.99, plus an additional 20% off (this weekend only), bringing the final price down to just $12. Shipping is an additional $4.49. Even if you don’t always need the iPod and its case, you’ll be able to use the headphones anywhere you run into a regular headphone jack, including the one on your next flight!

The case is available for the 80/120/160GB iPod Classic and the previous generation 30/60/80 Generation 5 iPod. The headphones on their own cost just $7.99 (plus an additional 20% off), but they are currently out of stock.

Daily deal – Plantronics Discovery 640E Bluetooth headset for $15

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for a (refurbished) Plantronics Discovery 640E Bluetooth headset.

This tiny Bluetooth headset comes complete with a “pen style” charger, and allows you to charge the device off AC power or with a single AAA battery cell.

The package also includes various other ear clips and gels, which should help you get the most comfortable fit for.

The Plantronics 640E has been refurbished, which means it was once returned to the manufacturer, and has been returned to its “as new” condition. Don’t worry about the ear pieces; those are all brand new and unused. Because the product is refurbished, it only comes with a 90 day warranty.

This headset used to retail for well over $100, but buy.com currently has it on clearance for just $14.99 with free shipping.

Daily deal – Tumi yearly clearance sale – up to 50% off

by Scott Carmichael on

My daily deal for today is for the yearly clearance sale in the Tumi luggage store. Tumi makes some pretty classy (and usually quite expensive) luggage, but it is the kind of stuff that can survive almost any kind of abuse you throw at it.

I’ve been pulling the same Tumi rolling suitcase around the airport since 2000, and while it may look like it’s been to hell and back, it’s still solid as a rock.

Of course, solid as a rock means it comes with a pretty hefty price tag. A “normal” Tumi rolling case will cost between $400 and $750, but the yearly sale event is the one time a year you can pick up some very nice pieces of luggage for as little as $100. Some of the highlights in the sale are the expandable rolling suiter pictured above, or this fantastic hard shell rolling case for just $175.

Expensive luggage is not for everyone, but if you are like me, and you are not very nice to your bags, then it is a great investment in something that will last for many years. The sale lasts till January 31st, but items may start selling out pretty soon.
