5 Deals You Need to Know Today: Wake Up, It's a Beautiful Morning Jolt
Save on furniture, and indulge in 90s nostalgia that I'm not even sure crossed the Atlantic. Let's find out! Check out this offer and more in our roundup of the five best deals we found over the last 24 hours.
Top Furniture Deal
Macy's Lowest Prices of the Season Furniture Sale
Up to 80% offThere are about 10 beds and sofas bearing the name "Radley" on just the first page of this sale, and with over 500 items on sale in total, I'm reasonably sure it would appear again if I kept looking. Nothing wrong with that, except that it puts me in mind of the 1990s Britpop band the Boo Radley's, most famous — only famous — for their number-one hit exuberant "Wake Up Boo!", with the earworm hook "Wake up, it's a beautiful morning". Nothing wrong with that Part 2, except that it's still early enough in the morning for me to be irritated by anyone enthusiastically telling me to wake up, no matter how beautiful the morning may be. And for the record, it's a perfectly average September morning, Boo Radleys, you filthy liars. Were I in one of these Radley beds, I would sleep in it for a thousand hours, just to perfectly spite you. Your song will definitely not get stuck in my head.
Top Apple Deal
11th-Gen. Apple iPad A16 128GB 11" Tablet (2025)
Free w/ trade-inThere's no better price than free, even if it comes with the slashy qualifier "w/ trade-in". But even with the qualifier of requiring a qualifying trade-in, that's a quality savings — you'd normally spend $500 on this iPad. I've yet to find a use case for a tablet that didn't feel better suited to a phone while on the go, or a computer while at rest, but if you think that would stop me from getting one for free, then you'd better wake up. It's a beautiful morni—oh god it won't stop.
Top Garden Deal
Landscaping Essentials Sale at Woot
Up to 68% offYou save on the trellis, on the arbor, on the fencing. You save on the garden sprayer, the weed puller, the lawn mower. You work tirelessly, sweat dripping from your brow, without flagging, without rest. You work through the night, all those dollars saved lightening your soul to make the toil more bearable. Until eventually, dawn strikes. You down tools. You head inside, and upstairs. You shake your loved one. Wake up, you say — wake up, it's a beautiful garden.
Top Grooming Deal
Panasonic Special Edition Star Wars Stormtrooper Electric Shaver
$49.99The Stormtrooper shaver — it looks good, but you'll always miss a spot. Ah, a Star Wars laser accuracy joke, that's good and original.
Top Toy Deal
Star Trek Rubber Ducks at Amazon
From $7These duck toys obviously require no elaborate jokes on my end — they're Star Trek characters, but ducks. Either you're already in for at least one, or you'll read the rest of this roundup in quiet bemusement. As usual. But it's worth asking which Star Trek character through the years had the most duck-like name? "Bill" Riker? Quack-otay? The answer, obviously, is Dr. Feathery Crusher. Now, Scotty, beam me up, it's a beautiful morni—damn it!
