If you live in an area that's prone to winter storms, you understand the inconvenience of dealing with power outages. The most traditional solution is to grab a generator to keep your house going. But those pose some problems like being noisy and smelly. Instead, we have the awesome tech of portable power stations.
They're excellent for keeping your gadgets powered up during an outage or for taking along on summer camping trips. Some are large enough to power your refrigerator for days or allow you to run the washing machine. Plus, you can recharge them with solar panels.
In the depths of winter, we're seeing some excellent discounts on portable power stations to keep you online during the next storm. Snag one to keep your food cold, power up the WiFi router, and keep a light on in the bathroom. Here are this week's best deals on portable power stations.

Why we like it
Coming with a hefty 3,072Wh of battery capacity, the Jackery HomePower 3000 is a great backup option for when the power cuts out. The brand mentions this power can keep your refrigerator cooling for up to two days or keep the WiFi router online for almost three days. Today's deal on the Jackery HomePower 3000 includes two 200W SolarSaga solar panels to help with recharging the power station. With 400W of solar input, the power station can recharge to 80% in nine hours. If you take the station camping this summer, that means you could be in line for infinite power.

Why we like it
If you tend to head out on camping and hiking adventures but like to stay powered up, the Anker Solix C800X is a stellar model. It comes with 768Wh, a built-in lightbar, and a three-mode camping light that neatly nests into the top of the power station. As if we needed more reason to love this model for camping, today's deal at Amazon includes a 100W solar panel that folds up into the size of a standard sheet of printer paper.
On its own, the Solix C800X is on sale for $399 at Amazon. Today's deal that bundles with C800W with the super portable 100W solar panel comes in at $449.98, which means the solar panel costs just $50 more, which is an incredible deal.

Bad Bunnys halftime show sparked emotional reactions across the Americas. See the heartwarming videos now.
During Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show, millions of viewers experienced the performance together — cheering in living rooms, filming on their phones, and reacting in real time. But for those of Latin American descent, hearing their home countries named out loud during Benito's grand finale made the moment especially meaningful.
In his closing act, Bad Bunny transformed the stage into a celebration of the Americas. Dancers carried flags from countries across North, Central, and South America, while a massive screen behind him flashed messages like "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." He capped the roll call of nations with a declaration that "together, we are America," framing the finale as a moment of shared identity and joy.
For those watching at home, the emotion didn't end when the music stopped. Viewers immediately took to social media to document their reactions, sharing clips of their friends and families cheering, hugging, and erupting with pride when their countries were named — turning a televised performance into a collective celebration.
Together, these clips formed a digital mosaic of diaspora, stitched from small, intimate moments across phone screens and time zones. Each video captured the same feeling: that for a few minutes, home — wherever it was — didn't feel so far away.

Best last-minute deals on Valentines Day flowers so far — you have way more options than plain roses
The Bouqs Co.
1-800-Flowers
Urban Stems
Unless your recipient has explicitly expressed their disdain for receiving flowers (we all know at least one hater), you really can't go wrong with surprising someone with fresh blooms for Valentine's Day. Not when there are so many opportunities to pick out a truly unique bouquet that fits his or her tastes: Most of the best flower delivery services are offering great last-minute Valentine's Day deals on flower deliveries, saving you 25% to 50% on a gift for the upcoming romantic weekend.
1-800-Flowers is your go-to spot for a classic bouquet of roses on a budget, while The Bouqs Co. and Urban Stems have elevated takes on traditional arrangements that aren't like anything you'd walk past in the grocery store. A majority of bouquets on sale can be delivered by Saturday, Feb. 14 (check the earliest possible delivery date for each). Either way, you're bound to find some pretty stems that scream "them" — so while the timing itself is rushed, the flowers they receive don't have to feel like an afterthought.

SAVE $30: As of Feb. 10, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is on sale for just $69.99 at Amazon. That's 30% off its list price of $99.99.
Opens in a new window
Mashable's shopping team has spent quite a bit of time with Ultimate Ears Bluetooth speakers and we're big fans. We love the Hyperboom and Epicboom, but the itty bitty Wonderboom is one of our absolute favorites. If you're in the market for a portable Bluetooth speaker, we highly recommend this tiny powerhouse — especially when it's on sale.
As of Feb. 10, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is down to just $69.99 at Amazon. That's 30% off its list price of $99.99 and just 10 bucks shy of its best-ever price from Black Friday.
Our favorite sub-$100 Bluetooth speaker, the Wonderboom 4 fits in the palm of your hand but offers surprisingly balanced and powerful sound. As Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard noted in our roundup, "the sound profile is well-rounded and can get loud."
It can last up to 14 hours on a full charge, handles drops from up to five feet like a champ, and can be submerged in water for up to half an hour. We do wish it offered a companion app to customize the sound profile, but for a ultra-portable no-frills speaker, it's an excellent value.
