Amazon's got a few unique finds on sale today. Look past the deals of the day on boring snow removal equipment and recliners from brands you've never heard of and there are actually offers on things you will enjoy from brands you can actually trust. Not saying a $600 snow blower wouldn't be useful, or that those recliners are definitely crap. But the deals I want to share with you are, in my humble opinion, a lot more fun. If you're not in the market for a new TV or a Bluetooth speaker, you might not feel the same. So you'll have to check things out and decide for yourself.
1. The best-selling wireless charging stand for under $30
You don't actually need a Samsung phone to enjoy this wireless charging stand. Samsung's charging pad recently won the title of Best Overall in our test of popular wireless chargers, and its upright counterpart boasts the same fast-charging technology. The stand design is perfect for desktops, especially if you're using an iPhone X with face recognition, making it easy to ues your device without picking it up every time. It usually costs around $40, but this Deal of the Day knocks 30% off the price.

2. One of the best heated throw blankets for $10 off
If you're always cold no matter how high your crank the heat, a heated throw will change your life (and let you go easy on the thermostat). Sunbeam's electric blankets are really something. I'm always shivering, but stubborn, so I finally relented and bought their sherpa-lined throw for about twice as much as this one, and it wowed me. The blankets are really soft. They feel thin, and the wires running through them take a little getting used to. But give it a chance and I swear you'll be glad you did. I can't sleep without mine under my other blanket, and it's perfect for snuggling up on the couch too.

3. A big-screen 4K TV with Amazon Alexa for $250 off
If you're in the market for a large, smart 4K TV, this might be the deal you've been waiting for. This Element TV comes with Amazon Fire built right in, so you get all the functionality of Fire TV without sacrificing a port to the external device. We recently tested the Roku version (only available at Walmart in very limited quantities right now) and we were blown away. So while we haven't yet tried the Amazon Fire version, we're pretty confident it will be comparable. You won't be able to get it before the big football game this weekend, but for nearly 1/3 off the list price, this is a pretty incredible TV deal.

4. A highly rated Bluetooth speaker for nearly half off
Unless you have audio in every room in your house already, I'm fairly confident in guessing you've used your phone ti listen to music in certain rooms. Sure it worked OK when you put it in that bowl for better acoustics, but you know the experience was still lacking. So why not keep a more powerful speaker handy? The highly rated SoundCore mini from Anker is so small it won't take up much room on your shelf. It's also got a range of 66 feet and lasts for 15 hours of playback on a single charge.
If this is the kind of you'd use a lot, you might be equally interested in the more powerful (and larger) SoundCore Sport XL that's also on sale ($42 down from $70). That one has two subwoofers and it's waterproof. But if you're looking for something more affordable. the mini will be more than enough to satisfy your needs.

5. The best food storage set for under $20
Let's face it—you're sick and tired of digging around in your cupboards to find lids that fit the growing collection of mismatched takeout containers you've been saving. You know that reusing these containers isn't ideal, as their material is designed to be disposable, not long-lasting.
Wouldn't it be easier to have a quality set of containers that are not only dishwasher- safe but can go in the microwave too? Right now our favorite plastic set is on sale for $16, down from $20. For way less than the cost of one takeout meal, you'll get 21 containers in every size you could possibly need.
