Best Buy Black Friday Cell Phone Deals
Up to $500 offSaving up to $500 on a dozen or so phones from Motorola, Mophie, and Lively (Jitterbug) phones is good. But you do need to keep in mind the legal requirement that owners of Lively (Jitterbug) phones set their ringtones to be an infinite loop of the first 10 seconds or so of Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. It makes it immediately obvious when it's your phone interrupting an important meeting or something, but no more so than when my phone's ringtone was set to the Eye On Springfield theme, and that always proved immensely popular. I presume — I didn't ask anyone. (I was too busy rocking out to the Eye on Springfield theme, obviously.)

Zippo 12-Hour Refillable Hand Warmer
$12.38Luckily for all of us, the Zippo handwarmer isn't just an easily flickable open flame over which to hover your easily-singed palms when in need of some hobo/barrel-esque action. Instead, it's a small, contained catalytic burner, which you simply hold in your unwelcomely cool hands until they're no longer a-quiverin'. Its marketing promises that its "improved fill cup helps reduce spills", which, based on my limited understanding of such things, definitely sounds like a bonus for easily flammable fluid.

Nike Clear The Rack Sale at Nordstrom Rack
Up to 70% off + extra 25% offThis Nordstrom Rack sale focuses, quite clearly, on Nike, that swooshiest of brands. (Fun fact: original designer of said swoosh Carolyn Davidson was paid all of $35 for her work.) This means that regrettably, there is no way for me to shoehorn a Guess the Fake Brand game into this soft relaunch of our beloved roundup. Indefatigable, I pivot: now you must guess which of these is not a potential "occasion" listed for these discounted styles. GO!
- Vacation
- Work
- Walking
- Lounge

It's 3: Walking! That's right! Wear this Nike stuff while sitting around in a beach cabana or an office or your living room, but not while being up and active. I will recline on my couch, propping my neck up to an uncomfortable angle with a complicated arrangement of cushions, recreating the swoosh with my body. Oh wait, "workout" was another option I just didn't list. Ah well, I'm already lying down.Top Restaurant Deal
Starbucks Reusable Red Cup
Free w/ a holiday drink purchase on Nov 14Today only, a reusable holiday red cup can be yours at Starbucks, just by purchasing a handcrafted holiday drink. Peppermint Mochas, Chestnut Praline Lattes, all these complicated things add up to one important outcome: free stuff for you. Of course, the Starbucks red holiday cup is a distant second-best to everyone's favorite historical seasonal vessel, the McDonald's Warmest Greetings cup of 2016, but free is free.
Top Watch Deal
Watches at Woot
Up to 90% offNobody likes Daylight Savings Time, but everybody loves delightful savings on time, so this Woot (an Amazon company, lest we forget) sale on watches should make you spring forward with excitement. That's all the Daylight Savings Times gags I can think of, disappointingly. I will diminish, and fall back into the West, and remain Galadriel.
