Perks and Rec: This portable speaker looks and sounds great

When it comes to speakers, headphones and sound systems, Bose makes some of the best, and the brand’s portable Bluetooth speaker is one of our top picks. The SoundLink Flex impressed our tester, with a booming sound wrapped in a handsome package. It’s $30 off today—wrap it up as a gift for the friend who always has a playlist going. 

If you’re good on gifts for your audiophile friend, we found some deals at Walmart worth shopping. This Dyson vacuum we love is nearly half off—a steal, in my opinion. We also think these sales on our favorite ice cream maker, a standout video game and Crocs (yes, they’re back) deserve a look. 

Happy shopping,
