What you should buy in Amazon’s Halloween sale

One of the best things about Halloween is buying decorations which, depending on your general life aesthetic, might be something you have out all the time. For example, if you’re an Edgar Allan Poe fan, then this raven perched atop a skull is the perfect decoration for a bookcase or mantle. Or, if you’re more of a film buff, you can get the book from Hocus Pocus , although you’ll need a Prime membership to really take advantage of the discount, with only a 15% coupon if you don’t. We also like this black candle set that includes a skull, spine, and two cylindrical candles that is . There are a ton more decorations you can grab, so be sure to check the .

Thanksgiving is over and deals season has officially landed. And what has also landed is Cyber Monday deals on cool tech toys like drones. This DJI Mini 4K, a drone light enough to avoid FAA registration, is now just $239. That's significant because it makes it the most affordable of the highest-rated DJI drones in Amazon's Cyber Monday deals selection right now. It is also significant because its usual price is $299, meaning you're saving $60 or 20% off the usual price when you purchase this deal. To do so, or at least check out the DJI Mini 4K on your own, simply tap the button below. Otherwise, keep on reading to see why we love this drone and think it'll make a fantastic Cyber Monday gift for you or someone in your family.

Why you should buy the DJI Mini 4K
The DJI Mini 4K drone has simple controls, a 4K camera, and a 10-kilometer (just over 6.2 miles) video transmission. This camera has gimbal stabilization for a stable picture even as you move about. Other features include a 31-minute max battery life (environmental conditions and flight behaviors will affect this), the ability to "return home" automatically, and wind-resistant flight. As you get more experienced with the drone, you can opt for larger battery sets for more extended flight times. Perhaps most importantly, it is 249 grams, just under the critical 250-gram mark for FAA registration when you fly for recreational purposes.

Cyber Monday alert — Get great TV sound with the Sonos Beam 2 at 26% off

A woman touches a Sonos Beam 2 that is below her TV.

It's Cyber Monday and the last big named day of the 2024 deals season (except, perhaps, Christmas Eve). While there are plenty of Cyber Monday deals to be found, the deals people are interested in now tend to shift to the more digital realm. That can mean Cyber Monday AirPods deals and Cyber Monday iPad deals, but it also means that deals at your local retailer will be more technologically oriented. Here, we're looking at the Sonos Beam Gen 2 (or Sonos Beam 2, for short) that we think you'll want for the shiny new TV you picked up over the weekend. TVs, as you've probably noticed, don't have the audio power they did when we were kids and can really benefit from the boost, so get the Sonos Beam 2 for $369 while this deal lasts. That's a savings of 26% or $130 down from its usual $499 price. Tap the button below to grab it now, or keep reading for our take on it.

Why you should buy the Sonos Beam 2
The main reason to buy the Sonos Beam 2 is to improve your home's entertainment sound system. Despite being a bar that sits under your TV, it is designed to make a 3D sound experience using Dolby Atmos (so long as you have a TV and content that supports it). It'll also give that extra boost that a thin TV just can't provide when it comes to deeper and louder noises. That being said, even people who prefer TV at quieter volumes ("The kids are sleeping!") will enjoy this soundbar as it has a special 'Night Sound' that deemphasizes the bangs while promoting the quieter ranges of sounds so you can still get a full movie experience at night. Finally, sure, soundbars are for TVs, but you can connect this soundbar to other devices to play music as well, so it is a fully-ranged device.
