• Or! Ditch the gift card and get twice the capacity in the Creative Zen Nano 1GB MP3 player at Amazon. It’s $109, which isn’t bad on its own, but also has a $10 MIR.
• Or even! Today’s Woot, the Virgin Electronics 5GB MP3 player with FM Tuner and speakers for $125, shipped. These were pulled from the shelves nearly as soon as they arrived, but they really aren’t a bad deal. We say go for it.
• CircuitCity has lots of little gadgets from NexxTech in deep discount, most of which would make passable stocking stuffers. Especially the Blue Bug Massager. [via DealNews]
• If there is one pointless purchase we have resisted so far this year, it would be the Back to Basics TEM500 Egg & Muffin 2-Slice Toaster and Egg Poacher aka The Egg McMuffin Machine. Amazon has it on sale for $40, shipped.
