If you own a car, and you don’t have have a smartphone dash mount yet, then this should be a no-brainer at $5. Just be sure to only use it for GPS and music or podcast playback. No texting.

You’d be forgiven for overlooking this little camera, but at $200, it might just be the best deal I’ve ever seen in the Micro 4/3 world. The Olympus E-PM2 actually shares the same sensor and image processor as the excellent (and much more expsensive) OM-D EM–5. The differences mostly come in the form of fewer manual knobs and buttons, the lack of weatherproofing, and a scaled down stabilization system.

These missing features might be deal killers for some, but if you’re just looking to dip your toes in mirrorless photography, this is a great place to start.

It’s not often that we highlight an apparel deal, but this one is pretty insane. You can take $10 off ANY order from SmartWool.com with promo code Luv4Mom. There’s no minimum order value you have to meet, and the code also includes free shipping. SmartWool socks are widely considered the best on the market, but they also offer other articles of clothing and outdoor accessories.

Update: Expired. Probably too good to last for long.

Today’s Amazon Gold Box features a smattering of laptop and tablet accessories, including cases, keyboards, backpacks, and batteries.

In my opinion, the most intriguing items are the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus for iPad and the Twelve South BookArc. The stylus pairs with your iPad via Bluetooth, and gives you 2,048 levels of sensitivity and palm rejection on several compatible apps, while the BookArc keeps your MacBook Pro nice and snug while you’re running an external monitor.

I never learned how to properly use the sharpening steel that came with my knife set, so about a month ago I bought this thing instead. It’ll give new life to your old knives, and it’s basically impossible to screw up.

If you’re worried about storing it, it’s actually only a few inches long. Much smaller than the picture makes it seem.

If you have access to a .edu email address, you can get a just-replaced MacBook Air for as little as $650 right now (or even less if you click “Buying Options” and snag an open box model). Since Apple just released spec-bumped Airs with $100 price cuts, Best Buy has lowered prices of the (still awesome) previous generation models by $200.

In addition to that discount, anyone with a .edu email address can get an additional $150 off the MacBook of your choice. This is pretty much the best deal you’re ever going to see on Apple laptops. [Best Buy]
