DJI Mini 4K DroneDJI Mini 4K Drone
Store: Amazon
Price: $239
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $59

Non-Prime users will have to shamefully slink away into the shadows and look on with a gnawing envy. Prime users however will be showered in glorious savings, with the DJI Mini 4K Drone at its best price yet. $239 is the price in question, a 20% reduction from its normally demanded fee. It has a thing called Boomerang QuickShots. As the humble Staff Picks Skeleton, I don't know precisely what this is. However, in what is almost assuredly good advice, I'd recommend not throwing the drone like a boomerang.

At prices like this, you can go from caffeine to caff-zwei, caff-drei, caff-vier, or even caff-funf. That's a little joke for our German-speaking readers. Even if you don't speak German, you kind of do, though. Coffee? "Kaffee". Iced tea? "Eistee". Medium roast? "Mittlere Röstung". Just pronounce the English words like you're angry at the syllables and want to spit about it and you're most of the way there.

It's strange how calming it feels just to look at Sennheiser over-ear headphones. A lot of these earbuds and headphones are wireless and noise-cancelling, designed to wear on the go — to make your music or podcast audible over the terrible din that is everyday life. Compared to that, the idea of sitting quietly at home listening to some Borodin is super relaxing. (Please note: I am old.) Even better than relaxing? Saving money. Not just on Sennheiser, but also on Apple, Beats, Samsung, Sony, and more, with clearance, open-box, and refurbished prices on offer.

The appliances are small, the savings are big, and the juxtapositions present and accounted for. Nespresso, Kenmore, Black+Decker, and Crock-Pot are just four of the notable brands that Target is opting to discount by up to 70% off. Coffee fiends? Welcome. Air fryer sickos? You'll be looked after. Toaster fanatics seeking a toaster with a touchscreen? Whether or not it's a good idea, you're covered. Meanwhile, Dalmatian toasters? Ok.

It seems highly unlikely that the upcoming Polly Pocket live action film adaptation will be able to reach the heights that Barbie did but Mattel is going to try anyway. Before that, a crossover release with The Office in the form of the Polly Pocket x The Office Compact Playset. All your favorites are here like Michael and Dwight, along with a vending machine that I'm assuming is fondly and iconically regarded. Meanwhile, there have been three Polly Pocket film adaptations before, all animated, released between 2004 and 2006. Disappointingly they all opted for a 2D animated look and don't feature now horrifically aged 3D animation. We'll have to turn to the waking nightmare of Foodfight! for that, which looked at least 10 years out of date the moment it launched on June 15th 2012. I've seen it one and a half times. I regret nothing.
