Exclusive for Deal Seekers: 40 percent off a TrackR sticker
Keys, wallet, remote, phone, favorite shoes. Something is always lost just when you want it. And you have to stop and look for it, right? Next time you find it, attach one of these TrackR stickers to it, download the app, and forever more just ask your phone where it is. It’ll beep its way toward your lost item. It can also beep at you if you are about to walk away from a tracked item.
Get these for Mom. Mother’s Day is Sunday! But don’t be too shocked if she sticks one to something of yours. She’s probably tired of you losing things, too.
I got you an exclusive discount, good through Mother’s Day. Go to thetrackr.com/sticker and use this code: HelpMomOut!
You will get 40 percent off a single TrackR sticker (list price $24.95) or any of the packages for sale on the site.

Surface 3
With its clever kickstand, cover that flips around to become a keyboard, all-day battery life, and full version of Windows, the Surface 3 (starting at $499 list) travels like a tablet. It’s light and small enough for any bag — smaller even than the Surface 2. But when you need to do serious work? Flick, flip, sit, and get to it. Now it feels like a laptop. There is even a 4G LTE version, so you don’t have to hunt up Wi-Fi when you roam.
Already sporting an older-version Surface? For a limited time, you can trade in a Surface RT or Surface 2 at any Microsoft store and get up to $150 toward a new Surface 3.

Fitbit Flex
It’s time to get up and walk! Sitting is the new smoking, apparently. It shortens your life and, meanwhile, is bad for everything from your posterior to your brain. And the solution is easy: Stand up. Walk. Sometimes strapping on a bit of tech that can remind and motivate you to do that — and “Atta boy!” you when you do — is a good idea. Good for you. Good for Mom. Good for anyone. And right now through Saturday (not Sunday as we previously reported), the Fitbit Flex Wireless Wristband is $79.95 (originally $99.99) at Walmart. So get up. Even walking around Walmart is better than just sitting there.
Livescribe
Is Mom an inveterate note taker, torn between the tactile experience of paper and the practical benefits of digital? A Livescribe pen and notebook melds the two worlds, allowing her to write on paper while effortlessly storing her scratchings digitally. Livescribe just announced its Android app (it was previously iOS only) and is celebrating with a sale on Livescribe sets: $25 off the Livescribe 3 Pro Edition (bringing it to $130) at Livescribe.com, Best Buy, and Amazon until May 11.
