Lowest price ever alert! Easy on the eyes and the wallet, these pretty, petite pastel highlighters are at their lowest price ever. 

"Wow, these are really great highlighters!" raved one reviewer. "I've bought other brands with pastel colors, but those are so costly and seem to dry out quickly. These all have a great color on paper, are easy to hold and are standing up to quite a bit of use so far. And the price is SO much better! Nice chiseled edge for thin or thick lines." Save over 70%.

When you're teaching, there's zero time to reheat your number-one essential: coffee (or tea or cocoa). This smart, temperature-controlled Ember mug is ready to assist. Right now it's over 50% off at Amazon with the on-page coupon— an all-time low. Other colors are also on sale.

One fan raved about "the perfect temp" of this mug and said, "I usually drink tea in the morning at work but routinely get visitors who want to talk. By the time they leave, my tea is cool and room temperature. The Ember cup kept my tea hot, but not super hot to where it was burning my mouth. It is easy to use and you can adjust the temperature to your desired temp up to around 180. I set mine to 136. Easy to clean and looks like a regular cup."
