Sick of giving all your money to the coffee overlords on the corner? Invest in the best travel mug we've ever tested and start sipping the perfect homemade cup every morning. Zojirushi was the clear winner in our tests because it holds up to 16 ounces and literally kept beverages hot overnight. It's not dishwasher safe, but if you don't mind handwashing, we urge you to try this mug for yourself. It's usually $24, but with this Lightning Deal, you can get one for just $17.50 (in black only) until 3 p.m. EST. Insane.

OK, truthfully, I think this gadget is ridiculous. But if you are shopping for someone who loves fashion and taking selfies, this might be a fun gift to get them. Why? It's usually $200, which is absurd, but it's discounted to $50 today, making it just the right price to give to your niece or nephew who changes outfits at least three times a day.

The Echo Look is an Alexa-enabled camera that has its own app. You ask Alexa to take your picture in any outfit, then this fairly impressive AI analyzes both photos and tells you which outfit looks better. It's pretty fun, but is not as responsive as a regular Echo if you're looking for the Alexa features too. But, this discount is just bananas, so the choice is yours.

4. Under $10: USB-C to Micro USB converters

You'll be so glad you have one of these handy when you need it.

As more and more devices start using USB-C ports instead of micro USB, the transition can be fairly hard on us. For ages, everything has run on Lightning or micro USB, so you may not have the USB-C ports you need. These little adapters will solve your woes, and right now you can pick up a 4-pack for just $9, a 31% discount off the usual $13 price.

5. The popular Echo Dot is 40% off

The new Echo Dot may be the hottest deal of Cyber Monday 2018.

The Echo Dot was one of the most popular products on Black Friday. The smallest and most affordable Alexa smart speaker was 50% off for the holiday shopping weekend. And since Cyber Monday came to a close, Amazon has had the Dot available for $30, just $5 more than the Black Friday price and $20 less than usual. The new third-gen. Dot has a fun new design and better hardware that promises a small boost in sound quality and microphone accuracy.

For this sale price, we think the Dot is perfect as a stocking stuffer, a gift for a white elephant/Yankee swap/Secret Santa exchange, or for a teen or college student.
