Perhaps the most powerful and portable Bluetooth speaker available today, the JBL Boombox delivers incredible sound accompanied by deep, hard-hitting bass. The holidays are a great time for all sorts of bargains but when a prime piece of audio gear like the JBL Boombox is marked down by $100.00, it’s time to celebrate.
Incorporated four active transducers and two JBL bass radiators, the JBL Boombox delivers monstrous sound along with bass so low you’ll look around to see why the house is shaking so badly. You’ll not only hear this bass but also see it.
This king of all portable speakers delivers the goods with dual 20mm, high-performance tweeters and dual four-inch woofers all powered by a tough 30 Watt amplifier. Your neighbors are going to hate the sound level coming from your side of the fence…unless maybe you invite them over.

I can’t rave enough about how much I love our Instant Pot so I won’t even try. No, wait; I can’t help it. This thing is simply awesome. This best selling model features a microprocessor that monitors pressure, temperature, time, and adjusts heat while cooking. It is seriously the easiest way on the planet to cook a delicious full meal.
For most recipes, simply place the ingredients in (mostly without preparation) then hit the desired time to cook. This works even better with frozen foods; a frozen pork roast will come out amazingly well in just 90 minutes. With an Instant Pot, you’ll have a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, saute pan, yogurt maker, and warmer all in one appliance.
It’s completely easy to clean, features a fingerprint-resistant stainless steel lid, and the components are dishwasher-safe. And even though there are a myriad of recipes online, printed pages don’t gift very well. Pair the Instant Pot with a copy of The Step-By-Step Instant Pot Cookbook for an incredible present to open on Christmas morning.

First off: yes, please.
Second: if you’re not familiar with the work of one Mr. Ralph McQuarrie, it’s safe to say that nothing about Star Wars, not the films, not the merchandise, and certainly not the long-lasting fan base, would have existed if it hadn’t been for this genius. This enormous two-volume collection celebrates the masterpiece artistry that was his life’s work.
George Lucas hired Ralph because of his work on providing illustrations to the national news channels during the Apollo moon missions. See, George wanted someone whom he could work with to produce artwork that might sell the idea of Star Wars to a movie studio. Lucky for him, George found the right guy and the rest is history.
These books feature concepts, production paintings, costumes, posters, album covers, and even Lucasfilm’s annual holiday cards. All of it has been rescanned and re-photographed specifically for this collection. Never-before-seen illustrations numbering in the hundreds are here as well as unpublished interviews and recollections from Ralph’s colleagues and friends.

Movie nights at home are more of a thing right now and, man, does this Anker Nebula Projector Capsule make for an amazing movie night. It’s one of the few projectors that I’ve seen that features both a top-notch projector and a powerful speaker that together deliver that big-time theater experience.
The Nebula will stream content wirelessly via Bluetooth from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. It also has Wi-Fi capability and can run apps like Netflix and YouTube without a mobile device. Video can be blown up as large as 100 inches wide at 100 lumens.
The Nebula delivers Hollywood-quality sound in 360 degrees with great mid-range and bass levels. No one in the room will miss out on the pops, bangs, and whooshes. What’s better about this is that the Nebula is only the size of a 12-ounce soda can.

This Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser from Vitruvi is made of stone and crafted to help elevate your routines at home by issuing scents naturally. The hand-crafted matte ceramic finish is unique, sophisticated, and can fit into any space. Compared to some other diffusers, the Vitruvi is very quiet with just a slight gurgling sound that is soothing to listen to.
Times for the diffuser to operate (via ultrasonic vibrations, not heat) may be either a three-hour continuous setting or seven-and-a-half in various intervals depending on your preference. A warm-colored light may be used to create ambiance as well. To clean, simply twist off the ceramic cover and wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dust or residue.
This gift is perfect for someone you know who is into yoga, meditation, or who simply wants a brightly scenting living space. Oh, I almost forgot: don’t forget to pick up the essential oils to go with this diffuser.

They can take their favorite game anywhere with this Portable Cornhole Set.
The three-foot by two-foot boards fold down and fit into the included carrying bag making this a perfect gift for anyone who loves beach trips, camping trips, picnics, or simply doesn’t have the room to keep stationary boards up somewhere.

The League of Regrettable Super-Villians by Jonathan Morris is one of my personal favorite coffee books of all-time. This book is full of unbelievably bad super-villains from the past 50 years. Look, not everyone can live up to the maniacal greatness of Doctor Doom or Lex Luthor or Galactus but you’ve got to at least try to instill fear into the hearts of your wailing victims.
The book contains 100 of the strangest and silliest super-villains ever to hit the pages of a comic book. You’ll be introduced to baddies like MODOK and Egg Fu and (wait for it) Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man. Yeah. It’s as weird as you’re thinking. Many, many more tragically weird villains are in the book that, bless them, tried to create some intense drama. Nice try, guys. Mr. Morris has also written about regrettable superheroes and regrettable sidekicks as well.

Arrrr, me hearties! Be ye ready to launch the adventure of ye lifetime?!? You and your family can talk like pirates all you want when playing Plunder: A Pirate’s Life. Fame and riches await any swashbuckler brave enough to seize the helm and command a fleet flying the Jolly Roger.

It’s not always easy to talk about but using the bathroom with the Squatty Potty makes things flow a lot easier. This version of the popular toilet stool (I get jokes) is made of slim teak wood which not only looks terrific compared to plastic versions but will hold up to water exposure. Hey, sometimes toilets leak.
It’s always easy to make jokes about the Squatty Potty but the bathroom aid is doctor recommended with science to back up using the device. When using the stool, colon health is improved as are symptoms of issues related to using the bathroom like hemorrhoids, constipation, and bloating. You don’t want that stuff left in you, do you? No, of course not. The Squatty Potty will help you with that.
It features a slight slope from front to back that raises the user’s heels to accommodate a more natural position with which to evacuate waste. The stool tucks close to the toilet when not in use but when it’s time to go, simply slide it where you need it, and place your feet on the top. The Squatty Potty is an ingenious device that has boldly given help with something that we all have to do every day.

Beats sound equipment is crazy good. It isn’t meant to be understood, it just is. Beats has their Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earphones on sale for $80 off the regular price this holiday season. Don’t pay $249.95 when you don’t have to; you’re paying just $169.95 for incredibly good earphones. In fact, the red version can be had for just $149.95.
An Apple H1 headphone chip powers the Powerbeats Pro so it not only sounds wild but it pairs with Apple products without any struggle at all. I mean none. They pair up with Android devices as well but I’m just saying that if you have an iPhone, you’re in for a real treat.
Workout, exercise, or heavy yard work, will be made all the better with Powerbeats Pro. Adjustable, secure-fit ear hooks are customizable with multiple ear tip options to ensure these headphones are your personal audio gateway. In other words, there’s equipment included that will personalize these earphones just for you.
They provide nine hours of battery life with one charge to provide more workout time for you and less inconvenience with waiting for a charge. But let’s say you do go that long (yikes) and you max the battery out. Just five minutes in the charge pack will bring another 90 minutes of listening time. Go buy them already before they sell out.

The puzzles are divided up into easy, medium, and hard difficulties and do not need to be finished in any particular order. The book is large enough to use comfortably and the pages are of a good quality to handle bringing with you on the train or bus to work.
Mr. Shortz has been the crossword editor of the New York Times since 1993 as well as the “puzzlemaster” of NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday. On top of that, he’s edited countless books of crosswords, Sudoku, and other brain-teasers, so you’ll know going in that this book was edited by someone who really gets what makes a crossword puzzle great.

No matter how you celebrate the holidays, this classic version of The Night Before Christmas (in coloring book form!) will be a welcome addition. Lavishly illustrated by acclaimed artist Charles Santore, this edition features stunning drawings sure to light up the holiday season. Reading this book to your kids or grandkids while showing them the beautiful artwork will make memories that you’ll remember for years to come.
Fun fact: The Night Before Christmas was first published anonymously in a New York newspaper in 1823 as A Visit from St. Nicholas. In 1844, Clement C. Moore published the poem in an anthology of his own poetry and was credited as the author after that. The family of Dutch poet Henry Livingston, Jr. claimed that he was the true author but unfortunately he passed away years before Moore’s anthology.
The original poem included many Dutch references including several reindeer names such as “Donder” and “Blixem” meaning thunder and lightning, respectively. Those were later anglicized in later editions, unfortunately, to Donner and Blitzen. As a nod to Mr. Livingston, this coloring book version of The Night Before Christmas includes the original Dutch names.
