If you’re looking for the ultimate Mother’s Day gift, Best Buy’s one-day flash sale on a temperature-controlled Ember Mug two-pack is a fantastic choice. You need to act fast because the $130 Ember 2-pack sale price reduction from the usual $200 expires at midnight tonight, Wednesday, April 6, at 11:59 P.M. Central Time.

Mom will be pleased with this gift — and maybe she’ll share, too. The deal includes two 10-ounce Ember Mugs, one black, and one white. If you’re buying for two moms, that works, also, because there are two separate boxes wrapped together. Each box includes an Ember Mug, a charging coaster, a power adapter, and an owner’s manual.

The temperature-controlled Ember Mug maintains a hot drink’s temperature for up to one hour when powered by its rechargeable internal battery. Set the cup on the included charging coaster to keep the contents hot all day.

Mom can configure the Ember Mug remotely with the companion mobile app. Using the app, she can select her precise preferred drinking temperature, ranging from 120-degrees to 145-degrees Fahrenheit. She can also track daily caffeine consumption, configure and save presets for various hot beverages, and change the colors of the mug’s LED. The LED changes color based on three conditions: When the drink reaches and holds her preferred temperature, if it gets too hot to drink, and when the mug needs charging (the last occurs when the mug runs on battery power and is not placed on the charging coaster.

The black and white Ember Mugs have color-matched charging coasters. The stainless steel mugs have a ceramic coating that helps keep the outside cool to touch. You shouldn’t wash the Ember Mug in a dishwasher, but handwashing is fine. The mug is IPX7 rated, so full underwater immersion causes no harm.

The temperature-controlled Ember Mug 2-pack usually sells for $200, but Best Buy reduced the price to $130 for today only. If you haven’t already bought the right gift for Mother’s Day, or even if you have but want a very cool add-on, make that more precisely a warm add-on, take advantage of this deal. Just remember you need to act by 11:59 p.m. CT today.

This temperature-controlled smart mug is the ultimate holiday gift

Ember - Temperature Control Smart Mug - 10 oz - Black

Holiday shopping in the modern age brings both the pro and con of having a lot of gifting options available right at our fingertips. This makes holiday shopping easy, but it can also make it overwhelming. Even with all of those options out there, a gift that suits almost anyone -- a true no-brainer gift -- is still hard to find. But the Ember Smart Mug 2, we feel, comes close.

Maybe you are shopping for the coffee lover in your family, or maybe it's the tech-minded friend. The Ember Smart Mug 2 makes an obvious gift for each, and it covers a lot of the people in between. It is a temperature-controlled mug that allows you to set your preferred drinking temperature, keeping your coffee right where you like it from the first sip to the last. It does this with a built-in battery that maintains a 1.5-hour battery life for the roaming coffee drinker, or an all-day charge when set upon the included charging coaster. It even cleans up nicely, as it's safe to hand wash and is submersible in up to 1 meter of water.

It's almost the end of Prime Day deals, which means it is definitely your last chance until Black Friday to grab a smartphone at a steep discount. In fact, right now, you can get an incredible $200 off the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, one of the very best Android phones. Just for Prime Day, it’s down to $600 at Amazon, an incredible drop from its regular price of $800. Don’t let this deal get away -- it's only live today and tomorrow.

When we took an in-depth look at the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, our reviewers loved the well-designed and colorful hardware and were especially impressed by the top-tier display. This is a great Android phone for someone who wants good value and appreciates good security to go along with it (Samsung upped the fingerprint sensor from earlier versions). While this phone doesn’t carry the same function as the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, it’s still an impressive, dependable, and cost-effective smartphone.
