OK, team, it's early yet but I think I have a favorite gift guide. It hits a certain sweet spot I aim for: the intersection of useful and delightful. It's 42 weird but practical gifts people will actually use.

Let me give you a little taste. We've got a cake-pop maker, a sushi roller, color-changing lipstick, a meat-defrosting tray, an acupressure mat and, my personal favorite, drink-inspired plush dog toys. When we adopted my dog, the shelter sent us home with his favorite toy, a plush "Lickton's Ice Tea," and it's very cute when he picks it up by the straw. I don't see that on the list, but there is a "Lick Croix" and a "Grrrona" bottle.

Anyway, aside from gifts galore, we've got all kinds of deals for you this week, including early Black Friday sales at Best Buy and one of the lowest prices we've ever seen on the Apple AirPods Pro — some of the best headphones around. 

Go forth and score.
