Find savings in the Best Buy app
The best gift for a parent is ultimately the gift of less chaos. You could buy them AirTags, offer to watch their kids, or send them on a vacation. The ultra-helpful digital Skylight Calendar is one of Mashable’s top gift ideas for moms and dads, and it’s $90 off at Best Buy as the Dec. 16 drop of the day.
At $229.99 on Dec. 16 only, Best Buy’s price beats the record-low $249.99 price tag we saw at Amazon during Black Friday. The 15-inch Skylight Calendar is currently full price ($319.99) at Amazon, so this near-$100 savings is rare.
Mashable Trend Report
You’ll only see the sale price on the Best Buy mobile app (Best Buy drops don’t show up in a web browser.) From there, you can add it to your cart and check out like usual. The catch is that all Best Buy drops have a limited inventory, with a live status bar keeping track of the percentage left. As of 12:15 p.m. ET, 75% inventory was left for the Skylight Calendar.
Skylight can sync with Google, iCloud, Outlook, Yahoo, and Cozi calendars to streamline schedules of multiple people to one communal device. Appointments, meetings, events, weekly chores, and even grocery lists can also be added right from the Skylight app, even if something pops up while you’re not home. Everything can be labeled and color-coded for each member of the household.
But busy parents aren’t the sole target audience for the Skylight Calendar — it’s a life hack for literally anyone with a lot going on. Mashable contributor Jae Thomas, who is a journalist and editor, a dog trainer, and who works at a kennel one day per week, instantly felt more organized after bringing a Skylight Calendar into the weekly mix.
Thomas can confirm that yes, having a central hub like the Skylight is a worthwhile upgrade over merely sharing a Google Calendar with someone. “I find myself getting little hits of dopamine when I check things off my to-do lists, and it’s easier for me and my partner to stay in sync on where we’ll both be during the week. I truly wish I had this when we were sharing a car — it would have saved us many arguments and miscommunications about scheduling.”
