Every year my Facebook newsfeed is inundated with invitations to join gift exchanges, specifically those that suggest you can send one gift or book or bottle of local beer and then you’ll magically receive 36 in return. It sounds too good to be true, which is probably because it is.
One of the local restaurants in my hometown runs a promotion every Black Friday where it offers customers a free $5 gift card if they purchase a $20 one. The idea is that you’re buying that $20 one as a gift and you’re getting a little something in the process. I looked at it for a few years and thought about how it…

You’re almost done preparing Thanksgiving dinner when you realize you forgot to buy butter or you’re going to run out of wine a lot faster than anticipated. Or maybe you’re not attending a Thanksgiving celebration at all, but didn’t think about that whole eating thing until about now.
If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving at grandma’s house this year, then you may have potentially overlooked one important detail of your day: How you’re going to watch football.

We’ve seen a lot of incredible deals during Black Friday, but these were our ten favorites today.
Black Friday week is upon us. And while you shouldn’t feel like you have to purchase anything, there are certainly some great deals to be had.

A well-gifted gadget isn’t just a futuristic toy. A good piece of tech can make someone’s life easier, or even save them money in the long run. Here’s the best tech you can give this year.
I don’t know if you can tell or not, but I recently purchased a waffle maker, and have been testing the limits of what can be waffled. (Prosciutto waffles very well, as it turns out.) I already had plans to waffle any and all leftover stuffing, and mashed potatoes seemed like the rational next step.
Google’s Nest Hello doorbells can now ring with a little seasonal cheer, thanks to new holiday-themed doorbell chimes. There are currently four doorbell themes to pick from in the Nest app: Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s Eve, and Winter. Each of the four themes has 10 different chimes that will play when someone…
If you’re getting started on your holiday shopping this weekend, here’s a tip: ask yourself whether you’re giving the recipient something they truly want, or something that will add extra work to their life.
Tipping really is one of the most confusing customs. In the United States, it’s one that’s had a long and troubling history and is often the subject of heated debates. That’s because there are no real “rules” for tipping, and the etiquette of it can seem pretty arbitrary. Besides varying opinions for who and how much…
When deciding on a mode of transportation, there’s a lot to consider, including the cost, convenience and environmental impact. For a lot of us, that rules out hiring a private jet for our next trip—at least when it comes to price and the environment. But private jet travel isn’t as unattainable as you may think,…
I’ve been lifting for a long time, but only really got serious about my squat, bench, and deadlift a little over a year ago. Last week I finally did a powerlifting meet. I had a great time, learned a lot, and put a lot of the beginner advice I’d been given to the test.
When you’re neither cooking nor hosting Thanksgiving dinner, you often spend the day before texting the host and begging them to tell you, specifically, what you can bring. If you have a bag of cranberries, white sugar, and some water, you have everything you need for the perfect appetizer—whether or not your host…
For the past four years, my job has required spending the days and weeks leading up to Black Friday reading through every advertisement and circular. This year, I’m nearly free of that task. Instead of monitoring sales and lightning deals and doorbusters in the early hours on Friday, I get to sleep in. And then, I get…
Dungeons & Dragons used to be a weird little hobby, seen as hopelessly nerdy, childish, and even Satanic. Now it’s a bigger cultural deal than Monopoly, even chess. It’s featured in Stranger Things and the podcast The Adventure Zone. In the real world, it’s trendy among artsy parents and their kids. And I hear it all…
A Marshall speaker Gold Box, egg bites tray, Switch Lite bundle, and an ABH eyeshadow set lead off Wednesday’s best deals from around the web.
Twitter just announced that it is planning to free up usernames for inactive accounts. While that means that the coveted Twitter handle you’ve been eyeing might finally be yours, if you happen to grab it before anyone else, Twitter’s move comes with an unfortunate side effect: If someone you love is no longer around…
This year might be the year for the kids’ first Disney On Ice show, or the local production of “A Christmas Carol” or “The Nutcracker.” There are so many enticing ways to break up all our screen time with some classic live family entertainment during the holidays, but it also happens to be the most spendiest time of…
Did you know that “flossing” is more than just a popular dance all the kids are doing?
A state-funded Russian propaganda agency is sowing discord in America through schmaltzy feel-good social media accounts, say researchers at Clemson University. These accounts, they claim, share clichéd “heartwarming” and “makes you think” content that sometimes goes viral. Then they slip in news that might be designed…
Is your friend suspiciously interested in your 2000 Honda Civic? Well watch out—that’s the most commonly stolen car in America last year. Are you still sure you can call this person a friend now?
Medium, the blog platform/publisher that once wanted to revolutionize online media, has put its content behind a $5/month paywall. After a couple of free articles per month, you can’t read anything else without paying up. Unless you use Twitter.
Turkey is my least favorite bird (to eat), yet I can never commit to a turkey-less Thanksgiving, nor can I let someone else cook the thing. I simply cannot relinquish this bland, stupid bird. My ambivalence towards the meat itself drives me to cook a bird that is delicious, but my irreverence spurs me to fuck with it…
Whatever your relationship with food is like, it probably intensifies around Thanksgiving. If you’re sticking to a special diet, you have to decide whether to keep it up or to say fuck it and take a day off to indulge. If your family’s eating habits annoy you, how fun! You’ll be watching them cook and eat all day. I’m…
Here’s a nice bonus for those who buy or receive a new Chromebook this holiday season: Google and Disney are giving away three months of free Disney+ to customers who activate a new Chromebook between November 25 and January 31st, 2020.
One of the first things listeners will notice about your podcast is the quality of the audio. Bad audio is a surefire way to sound unprofessional and lose listeners, so make it a priority to produce the highest quality audio you can.
My family has pretty much every dish covered for Thanksgiving dinner. Out of a need to feel responsible, I have assigned myself two critical jobs every Thanksgiving: baking two pumpkin pies strictly adherent to the Libby’s canned pumpkin recipe, and cleaning. Since we’ve already covered the pie recipe, let’s shift…

Here’s one more tricky topic to navigate with your family this holiday season: gold and silver retirement scams. An investigation by Quartz detailed these scams, which con seniors into moving their retirement funds to volatile precious metals investments. Gold and silver investment scams aren’t new, but they’ve been…
Eggs are one of those great versatile foods that’s great to keep in the fridge for last-minute meals. But part of being a refrigerator staple is that sometimes we can forget about that carton we bought a few weeks ago. No one like a rotten egg, so how can you tell if it’s still OK to eat? Here’s a simple trick that…
Family movie nights are wonderful in theory and usually in practice—unless it’s a case of too many cooks in the kitchen (or people in the family room). Does this convo sound familiar?
If you feel like you don’t know what to say to your older relatives, maybe you’re not asking the right questions. This Thanksgiving, think about bringing not only a dish to share, but also a few questions to inspire your grandparents, great-grandparents, and other relatives to share their stories.
