As yet another winter storm is here to remind us that February is, indeed, winter it feels like all we can do is twiddle our green thumbs until spring. But, with innovative products like the Gardyn Home Kit 2.0, you can grow your own produce any time of the year in your own smart garden. If you pick up a Gardyn Home Kit 2.0 right now, you can get it for 30% off. That’s $304 off of the usual $999, making the kit just $695. The Gardyn, which self monitors the plants it contains, can also be paired with a membership plan for just $29/mo. to provide you with two years of pre-prepared plants to grow and eat. We aren’t sure how long this deal will last, so act now.

Why you should buy the Gardyn Home Kit 2.0

The Gardyn Home Kit 2.0 provides an opportunity to grow food plants indoors, while only becoming as involved in the process as you want to. Daily chores that are typically required when taking care of your favorite indoor plants, like watering, are essentially removed and the more fun aspects (pruning and harvesting) are emphasized. That’s all thanks to specialized AI, called Kelby, and the smart nutrient, water, and light delivery system of the Gardyn.

Kelby provides an app-based approach to smart garden growing. For one, it monitors your plants’ growth 24/7, intervening to maximize growth based on advanced AI. When you want to go on vacation, don’t worry about your plants, just flip on Vacation Mode and Kelby will know what to do. The app even provides a time lapse of your plants’ progress and advanced control over the system’s lighting and watering schedules.

Meanwhile, the Gardyn’s innovative yCubes are the indoor garden analog to Keurig K-Cups. They’re plug’n’play plants, basically. While you’re free to use your own plants, every purchase of the Gardyn Home Kit 2.0 comes with a 30 plant starter set that includes 20 favorites (think lettuce varieties, tomatoes, and herbs) and your choice of 10 others. For this time of year, we highly recommend the Winter Wellness set, which includes chamomile, wheatgrass, and the scarily named bull’s blood beets.

So, if you’re ready to start growing even though its snowing, order your Gardyn Home Kit 2.0 and pick your starter plant set today. Remember, while this deal last the Gardyn Home Kit 2.0 is only $695, which is $304 lower than the typical $999. We’re not sure how long this deal will last, so pick yours up today!

There’s some impressive savings to pounce on if you’re in the market for some smart home deals. Some backup power is a good thing to keep around the house, and today it’s a good way to save as well. The EcoFlow River 2 portable power station is seeing a discount at Best Buy, and it’s bundled with a foldable 110-watt solar panel. Together these are marked down to $305, while they would regularly cost $588. This makes for a savings of $283 and free shipping is included.

Why you should buy the EcoFlow River 2 portable power station
Portable power stations like the Jackery Explorer 1000 and the Bluetti AC180 are the heavy hitters when it comes to name recognition, but the EcoFlow River 2 portable power station knows a thing or two about chipping in around the house. It beats the industry standard for charging speeds, as it’s able to reach a full charge in only 60 minutes. That’s five times faster than other portable power stations, and it’s a huge improvement over previous EcoFlow models. This makes the River 2 an excellent power station if you live in areas that deal with periodic power outages due to weather, or if you’d like some extra power out in the yard.

DeWalt Cyber Monday Deals: Save on power tools and accessories

There are lots of tech goodies on sale during Cyber Monday deals, but you shouldn't overlook the chance to get more practical things like power tools with a discount. That oversized TV you purchased from today's Cyber Monday TV deals won't mount itself. We've collected all of the best power tool Cyber Monday deals in one spot for you already, but with power tools it is often best to zoom in on one brand. This is largely because of their batteries, which you can use from one product to the next within the same brand, encouraging you to buy from the same brand again and again.

With this in mind, we look at DeWalt's tools and accessories. Their 20V line of cordless power tools is particularly popular and we're seeing good deals on them for Black Friday. Additionally, we'll be taking a look at some of their accessories, which are also on sale at this time of the year.

This is your excuse to buy a temperature controlled smart mug

There are a lot of temperature-controlled products out there, such as mugs or water bottles, but the Ember Mug was one of the first, and you can tell from its premium look and pricing. Luckily, there are still quite a few great Black Friday deals floating around, including this deal from Best Buy on the Ember Mug 2. While it usually goes for $130, you can grab it right now for just $100, which makes it a much more reasonably priced mug, if still a slightly bit expensive.

Why you should buy the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug²
Those who like hot drinks know the struggle that comes with having a drink go cold, especially when something comes up that takes your attention away. You might make your nice cup of tea or coffee, get an email or call, and forget about it, only to come back and find it tepid or lukewarm, which is probably worse than if it was just cold. Luckily, the Ember Mug 2 does an excellent job of keeping your drink warm, with a temperature range between 120 Fahrenheit and 145 Fahrenheit. That's a pretty good range for most folks unless you love your hot drink piping hot and nearly boiling, in which case this might be a little bit on the low end for you.
