The list of potential list of ways to utilize an electrical socket in your car is pretty much endless, but I sure wish I had had this when I was a kid. This Kensington Inverter includes one socket, 2 USB ports, strong reviews, and a today-only lowest price ever of $30. [ Kensington Inverter, $30]

Anyone with even a passing interest in cooking knows that All-Clad is the most highly-regarded brand in kitchenware. In fact, if you poke your head behind the scenes of your favorite restaurants, chances are very good you'll see see their logo. If you're ready to level up your own cooking, several of their most popular items are on sale right now.

I own that 10" fry pan, and it's as good as advertised, but the 12" might make more sense if you frequently cook larger meals. I haven't tried the saucepans, stockpot, or the saucier pan, but they have ridiculous 4.8 star review averages, so suffice it to say, they should be good.

So what makes All-Clad so great? These pans all have a three-layer construction that wraps a fast-heating aluminum core around a layer of durable and heat-retaining stainless steel. Plus, all of their products are made in America, and come with a lifetime warranty. Yes, they're expensive up-front, but if you take good care of them, you'll never need to buy pans again.

Needless to say, these would all make terrific gifts for the foodie in your life. Or, you can treat yourself, and set a new year's resolution to improve your culinary chops. Either way, act fast. These deals probably won't last long.

As a happy MacBook Air user, I'm ashamed to admit that I have Microsoft's stupid Surface Pro 3 holiday jingle stuck in my head. If the ad blitz (or the positive reviews) has convinced you to try out Microsoft's hybrid device yourself, here's the best deal we've ever seen on it. - Shep
