Skip Oprah's $649 pick — this deep-tissue massage gun is $40 on Amazon!
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Aches and pains are no longer a problem that only Oprah-approved luxury products can solve. The Theragun may be the top-of-the-line massage gun, but its triple-digit price tag has plenty of us wincing long before the first muscle knot is even touched. Thankfully, there's a budget-friendly contender quietly racking up sales on Amazon, over 30,000 to be exact, and it's giving deep-tissue relief without deep-pocket regret. The TOLOCO massage gun is currently on sale for under $40, offering serious performance at a fraction of the price. It's small, powerful, and equipped with smart features that make it appear and feel more expensive than it is. Advertisement One five-star shopper said, 'I borrowed a Theragun from a friend, and after using it, I knew I wanted one until I saw the price…this [TOLOCO massage gun] packs almost as much power as the pricier model I tried, which is pretty impressive given the price difference.' With high-speed percussion capabilities and a sleek LED interface, it's designed to target sore spots just like the pricier models. This device has earned its spot in thousands of carts thanks to its powerful motor, long-lasting battery, and quiet operation. So, outsmart the capitalist system and beat these outrageous prices being floated to you like a deal. Buy the TOLOCO massage gun for serious relief from both cost and pain. Amazon The TOLOCO Deep Tissue Massage Gun has 3,200 RPM of deep muscle relief, 10 interchangeable heads, and a quiet motor, all powered by a long-lasting battery for up to 6 hours and controlled through an LED touchscreen. All of that under $40 is one of the best deals we've seen. You don't need to be an athlete or a wellness fanatic to appreciate the relief it brings; simply staring at a computer for 8+ hours or more a day can be enough to cause severe neck issues. So get this for yourself, or maybe add it to your cart for Father's Day because it's coming around the corner.

11 Practical Father's Day Gifts
Father's Day is nigh, so it's time for the annual late spring PSA: Dads are notoriously hard to shop for. Maybe it's the constant refrain of 'don't worry about me, I don't need anything.' Maybe you don't want to watch another present you thought long and hard about makes its way into the dusty graveyard of unused gifts. Or maybe his cupboard simply cannot fit another version of the requisite 'World's Greatest Dad' mug. Whatever the reason, it can pretty much knock the wind out of your gift-giving don't worry, all hope is not lost — there are a few things to buy for Dad that he'll actually use. And rather than spend the countdown to Father's Day agonizing over how to prove this statement true, you can just peruse our our list below, you'll find giftable versions of practical, downright necessary items, at least one of which your father won't be able to turn down. Even better: you can get all of them quickly and easily, because they all come from Target. So read on, and give yourself one less thing to worry about between now and Sunday, June 15. If his gym bag has seen better days And speaking of gym rats, if Dad does hit the gym regularly, there's a good chance his gym bag has seen better days (they can get stinky and ratty pretty quick). Upgrade him with this incredibly durable, subtly chic, and surprisingly affordable 21.5-inch duffle. It'll fit his workout and shower gear with room to spare, and he can even wear it as a backpack when his hands are $29.99 If he moves his body at all Everyone loves (and most likely needs) a massage — including the dad who doesn't normally go for that kind of thing. So if he doesn't have a Theragun, get him one. It's the simplest route to some necessary muscle relaxation. Price: $319.99 If he's a suit-and-tie guy Dads with dressier wardrobes may not need a new gym bag, but they're bound to appreciate a good garment bag or (if they already have one) two. This 5-stars-only option from Target's Open Story private label has a large main compartment, two smaller zippered pockets for smaller items, and built-in luggage strap. Price: $24.99 If he's a music man For dads who love music, this all-in-one sound system will definitely see some action. In addition to the three-speed turntable and bookshelf speakers, it also has bluetooth connectivity that'll let him stream music from any compatible device, and manual outputs that connect to existing stereo $139.99 If he likes a close shave Upgrade Dad's shaving game with this dermatologist-tested shaving kit. It comes with a safety razor, beard-lifting shaving brush, replacement blades, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, and a post-shave balm. The combination of a quality equipment and moisturizing, non-comedogenic ingredients promises to prevent razor bumps, reduce skin irritation, and, when used regularly, make skin softer and smoother overall. Price: $89.99 If he's looking far ahead Whether he's into hiking, birding, stargazing, or just spying on the neighbors, a decent pair of binoculars will definitely come in handy. This pair provides an ultra-high definition view. They're also designed to be lightweight and extremely $169.99 If his camping chair is on its last legs Camping, tailgating, sitting on the sidelines at a middle school soccer game — a plain old camping chair is fine, but this portable, full-size rocking chair with a cozy sling seat is definitely better. It's also very highly $90 (available in two colors) If he's loves a great cup of coffee If Dad downs java like it's his job, there's really no excuse for not having a Bialetti Moka stovetop espresso maker. It's simple (analog and easy-to-clean), affordable and cost-effective (no filters or pods to buy), and makes a smooth — and strong — Italian-style cup in less than 5 minutes. Price: $39.99 (originally $44.99) If he cooks… pretty much anything Even if Dad's only dish is scrambled eggs, he should be doing it in a Lodge cast iron. This best-in-class skillet is naturally non-stick; can be used on a grill, in the oven, or on a stovetop; and, if you care for it properly, will last foreverPrice: $29.90 If he's into… pretty much anything It's pricy, but even diehard Luddite dads will find it hard to deny the universal appeal of an iPad. It's also a great gift if he already has one but hasn't upgraded in a few $299.99+ (originally $349.99+; available in three sizes and four colors) If he's running low on staples 'Boring' items can sometimes make the best gifts. These totally un-fancy crew socks and 4-pack of plain white tees pictured from Target house brand Goodfellow may seem 11th-hour buys, but if Dad is a fan of these ubiquitous basics, they're actually quite thoughtful. Get the tees in sizes S–XXL and in black and the socks in black or $20 for the four-pack of tees and $10 for the six-pack of socks
