The Boogie Board is a fun little tablet that has one mission and one mission alone: to write notes. It’s probably best as a chalkboard or dry erase board replacement. You can write on it and then erase what you wrote (or save it) with the push of a button. At $16, it’s a great little fridge ornament.

Buy Sonos One with Alexa for $175 ($25 off) on Sonos and AmazonBuy Sonos Play:1 for $150 ($50 off) on Sonos and AmazonBuy Sonos Playbar for $600 ($100 off) on Sonos and AmazonBuy Sonos Playbase for $600 ($100 off) on Sonos and Amazon
Sonos is discounting quite a few of its speakers over Thanksgiving weekend. We highly recommend the Sonos One because it has Alexa support, as well as the Play:5, Sonos Playbar, and Sub. If you really don’t care about Alexa, the Play:1 is also available and the Playbase, which is great if you want your soundbar to sit below your TV (though the Playbar sounds nicer).
The best thing about Sonos (outside the excellent sound quality) is how easily they all connect up. You can have a speaker in every room of your house and play music to all of them independently, or group them up. It’s easy, and that’s why they’re some of our favorite home speakers.
