Imagine you’re visiting friends or family for the holidays, and you’ve shot some really great photos or video. Now imagine you can’t get at any of them, because you don’t have a way to access the memory card in your device.
That’s a scenario that need never happen. All you have to do is shell out six bucks and toss this week’s DOTW into your camera or notebook bag.
It’s compact, self-powered, and supports nearly every major memory card format. What’s more, it can double as storage for up to nine cards. There’s a word for something like this:
Handy.
Surely there must be someone on your gift list who would welcome finding this in their stocking. (And yes, we’ll stop calling you Shirley.) Memorize every detail about this week’s great deal here.
Feast your eyes upon the veritable Swiss Army knife – of cables.
One end of the cable is your standard, garden-variety USB 2.0 male connector. But at the other end – that’s where the magic comes in…
Like the mythological Hydra, except with three heads instead of [furtively consults Wikipedia]… um, many more than three, this end spells relief for all your USB connection situations.
You get the latest Apple obsession, the 8-pin Lightning connector (iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, iPad Air, etc.). And you get that nostalgic favorite, the classic 30-pin wide connector (iPhone 4 series, first and second generation iPads, and more). And you even get the Micro USB connector that everyone else employs for most of their devices (including smartphones and tablets from the likes of Samsung, HTC, and LG).
You won’t want to leave home without one. Especially since, all this week while supplies last, it’ll only set you back four bucks. And we’ll even hand you a penny back.
We’re embracing our inner whimsy here, offering up an unusual collection of character-driven USB flash drives (now there’s a sentence you don’t read every day). There are 15 different versions – you can’t tell which one is in the box until you open it. Described by their creators – the possibly-off-their-meds folks at Wish Come True – like this (we have purposely avoided editing a single word, punctuation mark, or trademark symbol):
Wish Come True BLOTz™ is a premiere collection of MIMOBOT designer USB flash drives presented in a blind assortment! Each individual box contains 1 of 15 brilliant drives, from the world of Wish Come True designed by our super-crack Artist Series collaborators, FriendsWithYou™ of sunny Miami, Florida. Unbox 2GB of friendly flash memory and store your data in style with MIMOBOT BLOTz!
So if you’re looking to brighten up your desk or jump bag with a splash of colorful insanity, have we got a USB flash drive for you! Best of all, they’re only $4.99 each – a great deal, since they normally sell for $19.99. If you’re a completist, you’ll want to collect all 15.

DOTW is back after a week’s “vacation,” with a blast from the past. Yes, we’ve offered this item before, but we’re bringing it back – by popular demand. (We’re all about satisfying the popular demand.)
If you and your family (or roommates, co-workers, dorm buddies) use iOS devices like the iPhone or iPod, you know you can never have enough ways to keep them charged. That one little cube that came with the device just ain’t cutting it. To that end, we offer this three-piece solution, at an amazingly affordable price.
You get a wall outlet charger, a 12-volt car/boat/RV charger, and a one-meter USB to 30-pin connector cable. At this price, you can pick up several, sprinkle them about your home and vehicles – and never get caught with a dead battery again!

A lot of current-model ultralight notebooks and netbooks have no optical drive – which makes it tough to install new apps through any other method besides downloading. This week’s offer neatly skirts that limitation.
We’ve got an assortment of PC game and educational collections, with original prices running the gamut from $20 to $50. And we selling them for an amazing $4.99 each. Even if you buy just to get the 2GB USB flash drive the programs come on, it’s still a pretty great deal.
