39 Black Friday Deals Under $50 (2020): Cases, Speakers, Leggings, and More - WIRED

Black Friday deals are popular for the big-ticket items—TVs, mattresses, a brand new phone—but we don't all want or need to spend that kind of money, even if there is a discount.

That's why we've rounded up some of the best deals under $50, whether you're shopping for yourself or browsing for gifts.

This includes unlimited access to WIRED.com and our print magazine (if you'd like).

If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission.

The Premiere is a fine option if you'd like to spend as little as possible.

If you, like us, prefer Google Assistant to Amazon's Alexa, this is a good deal on Google's smallest smart speaker.

We like all of Lenovo's smart displays, and this new alarm clock is a nice addition to a bedside table if you just want a clock interface with Google Assistant capabilities.

It's smaller than Lenovo's other Smart Clock (also on sale for $35), so it won't take up much room on the nightstand.

You'll also need to regularly replace the filters (which are also 25 percent off right now, including the rest of Catit's products).

If you're interested in turning your regular home into a smart home, this bundle is a good place to start.

(The bulbs do not need the plug to work.) Just pop the bulbs into your existing lamps or fixtures, connect them to the app, and that's it.

If you want just the smart plug, which can control your analog appliances, you can get one for $10 ($10 off).

The TP-Link Kasa plug is our runner-up pick in our Best Smart Plugs guide.

If you're looking for a new clear iPhone case to show off your phone's color, we like the Nimble Disc Case.

It's made out of 100 percent recycled CDs and comes in plastic-free packaging.

Phone grips make good, small holiday gifts.

PopSockets has a sale running sitewide, so it’s a good time to pick up a new grip if yours is grubby.

The Clip 3 is another great option for portable sound.

(Or a curtain rod, if you're the kind of person who likes accompaniment when you sing in the shower. Don't ask me how I know.).

This option is perfectly capable and super inexpensive.

Like Alanis Morissette (probably) once said: It's like 10,000 cables when all you need is a wall adapter.

It's best for expanding your smartphone's storage (if it supports a MicroSD card).

WIRED writer Scott Gilbertson says it isn't good for devices where write speed is critical, like a camera.

If you need storage for your digital camera, opt for the Sony 32-GB SF-G Tough Series UHS-II SDHC Memory Card instead, which is on sale for $55—it's more expensive than other memory cards, but Gilbertson swears by it.

The Lexar Professional 2000x 32-GB SDHC UHS-II Card is a solid option also on sale for $37.

It'll work anywhere you'd normally use it, but it's especially great for video recording, making it a good option for dash or security cameras.

If you own a PlayStation and play games online, you need PlayStation Plus.

We love The Sims 4, but it can get really expensive if you want to purchase DLC.

Almost every extra pack is on sale right now, plus the base game is only $5.

With over 30 extra packs available, we recommend checking our Best Sims 4 Add-Ons guide to smartly take advantage of the sale.

If you don't need high-waisted leggings, mid-rise leggings are also on sale for $48; everything else is 30 percent off, like the Paloma Bra, which I also love.

The coupon code CHEER20 is good for 20 percent off everything Bombas sells—all the socks, plus T-shirts and other apparel.

The Colgate Hum is an electric brush done right—you don't need to stare at your phone every time you brush your teeth to map your progress and get feedback—and it's cheaper than most smart brushes out there.

You can get it from Amazon too, but it's $60.

If you don't need a rechargeable brush and can deal with batteries, that version is on sale for $40 from Colgate (with HUMFORTHEHOLIDAYS code) and $45 from Amazon.

They're a good option if you're prone to dreaded mascne

Baggu makes awesome reusable bags too (a sustainable alternative to plastic), which are part of the sitewide Black Friday sale

Amazon will apply additional coupon savings at checkout. If you don't want to make your own hand sanitizer, and you're tired of vodka-scented mass-produced sanitizer, this deal might be up your alley.

If you hike, camp, or have a disaster kit at the ready, a LifeStraw is a good thing to include. It filters contaminated water without batteries or other accessories. We've seen it drop to $10 before, so you may want to wait and see if the price falls even more.

Final’s reusable sporks are also on sale (matched at Amazon)—the sporks are weighty and easy to eat with

I (Louryn) have a tendency to drastically overpack; these compressive cubes satisfy my irrational need to overstuff my suitcase
