- 80 hand warmers for $28 (expired: sold out)
On sale at Amazon is 2 cases of 20-packets of Heat Treat hand warmers.
Each packet comes with a pair of disposable hand warmers.
Each warmer can be opened separately, so you can save the second warmer for later, or use both.
Once exposed to oxygen, the warmer begins to generate heat within a half hour for a duration of about 7 hours.
They are designed for use in gloves and pockets.
They can generate a lot of heat, so they should not be pressed directly against sensitive areas of the body for more than a couple minutes, such as the face, forehead, wrist, and neck.
At $0.35 per hand warmer, Amazon's price is very good.
The manufacturer charges $43 ($0.54 per warmer) for the same bundle of 40 pairs, and they have pretty good reviews.
Retail stores sell these packets for about $3 ($1.50 per warmer).

- Thermaltake BlacX Serial-ATA Hard Drive Docking Station $38 (expired)
This device can be very useful for some people.
It is a docking station for Serial-ATA hard drives, plugs into a PC or Mac's USB port.
Being able to slide in any Serial-ATA hard drive means you can create disks full of music, videos, pictures, and backups, then eject the drive and store it in a safe place.
For example, say you filmed several hours of videos with your digital camcorder, you can easily store all those videos on a Serial-ATA hard drive with this docking station, then eject the drive and keep it in a anti-static bag in a safe place without taking up precious room on your computer's internal hard drive.
A hard drive can store stuff easier than burning DVDs, and being able to quickly slide in & out hard drives without rebooting the computer can be very handy for some people with lots of data storage needs.
Most other stores sell it for around $45.
