1. Nikon D7000 16.2 megapixel DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens (Save $300)
Known for its durability, image quality in low-light settings, and impressive 1080p HD Movies with Full Time Autofocus, this is a travel lover’s dream for $649.95.
Notes: You save $300 but the sale ends today!
2. Kindle Paperwhite/ Kindle Fire HD (Save $30)
Save $30 on any Kindle. The Kindle Paperwhite is always a safe bet but for only $109, the Fire HD7 is a good option if you don’t already have a tablet!
3. Micro Wireless Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Built-In Bass Port (Save $25)
Save $25 on the JBL Micro Wireless Ultra-Portable Speaker with Built-In Bass Port and Wireless Bluetooth Connectivity, which means music-loving travelers don’t have to sacrifice sound quality for luggage space.
4. Microsoft Surface Pro 3 (256GB, core i7) (Save $150)
The Surface Pro 3 can replace your laptop for quick vacations and even long trips, making it a really smart investment for serious travelers.
If you’re been debating which would be a better investment, the Surface Pro 3 or the Macbook Air, here’s a good rundown of the differences between the two: Which is better Surface Pro 3 or Macbook Air?
The versions with lower memory and/or processing speeds only have $100 off, but if you’re really hoping for a tablet that works like a laptop, it’s probably best to go with the one of the i7 versions and take $150 off the total.
5. Apple iPad Air 2 (Save $100)
For those of you who aren’t looking for a tablet to replace your laptop, and are in the market for an ultra light-weight tablet, the Apple iPad Air2 is only $399 from Best Buy on Black Friday!
6. GoPro HERO4 Silver (save $50)
If you buy the GoPro HERO4 Silver version from Best Buy you pay $399 and get a $50 Best Buy gift card included. (The black version is $499).
GoPro’s YouTube Channel has some insane user videos to check out for some inspiration on how to make the most of this amazing little action camera.
7. Pebble Steel Smart Watch (Save $50)
The Pebble Steel Smart Watch is waterproof up to 5ATM and lets you remotely manage emails, music, texts, games, and receive incoming calls from your Smart Phone. Claims to have 7 days of battery life per full charge.
Perfect option for beach-bums or someone worried about having their phone stolen. Cost: $149.
8. Portable Tablet Stand with Built-in Speakers (Save $46)
Note: the deal ends today!
9. Calvin Klein 4-in-1 Jacket for Women (Save $52)
This isn’t really a gadget per say, but it’s a pretty neat jacket that can be turned into 4 different types of coats depending on the weather, which I think is incredibly useful for those traveling with limited space and uncertain weather forecasts!
Slightly different men’s version here.
10. $100 iTunes Gift Card (Save $15)
Pay only $85 for a $100 iTunes gift card from Best Buy. It’s a pretty good deal for music & movie lovers.
11. External Hard Drives
HGST Touro S 1TB 7200RPM High-Performance Portable Drive (Save $40)
This powerful little guy is one of the only portable drives that runs at 7200 RPM, rather than the industry standard 5400RPM.
Translation: travelers with large amounts of data to transfer (especially travel photographers shooting in RAW) can do so 23% faster. It also comes with 3GB of free cloud storage. Available in 1TB or 500 GB.
Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB with Mobile Device Backup (Save $91)
This is an ultra-thin device that comes with a nifty free Mobile Backup App which lets you automatically backup all of your important images and documents from your phone, directly onto your external hard drive.
No more having to worry about all of those amazing future Instagram pics you lost because your iPhone fell into a bucket in Thailand 😉
I recommend the 2TB version because you’re getting a ton of memory in a really thin package, but it’s also available in a 4TB version if you don’t mind a little extra bulk.
12. Mini Portable Phone Charger (Save $50)
This portable charger adds 10 hours of talk time or one full iPhone charge. A must-have for today’s travelers who use their smart phones for everything from listening to music, to Skype-ing loved ones, to monitoring flights…all of which drains the battery rapidly.
13. Blue Host Website Hosting Package
For all of those aspiring travel bloggers out there (or current ones who are still stuck on their Blogspot blogs or Blogger platform) this is a seriously good deal!
Only $2.95/month for a year of hosting with Blue Host, which is one of the most popular and highly recommending hosting platforms (I personally love it).
Note: This deal actually starts on Cyber Monday! The Black Friday deal is for $3.49 (the regular price is $5.99!)
