Never fight with your family members over power outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor (and there's no way you'll trip over it).

No, it's not a massive discount, but this top-seller is within a buck of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).

Thousands of Amazon shoppers love these sturdy containers, which have airtight seals to keep food fresh. They're made of glass — but not just any glass. We're talking about borosilicate glass, which is used on thermal tiles in space shuttles.

Not only does it conveniently allow you to see what's packed inside, but it's oven-safe up to 1,040°F and can go in the microwave without a lid. You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won't get to right away.Got leftovers? Ditch the plastic for these super-strong glass containers.

If your denim collection could use a refresh, these No. 1 bestselling high-rise tapered jeans belong in your wardrobe. Not only are they flattering, with their leg-lengthening high waist, reviewers also say they're super comfortable — and the tapered design will highlight all of your cute fall boots! $12 for a pair of jeans is practically unheard of these days, with many quality pairs costing upward of $100. These cost less than the price of a movie ticket, and we've yet to see them on sale for less all year. 

"Always comfortable. Always look good," asserted one stylish shopper. "Many times I have [had] to wear [them] day through overnight — sometimes curled up on a two-seater chair to catch a few Zzzs, and never had that stiff-jean, circulation-cutoff, heavy-dye numbing feeling. These have become my go-to jeans."

Oprah said it: This hardworking duo is the ultimate travel companion,"with a smaller pouch perfect for makeup and a larger one for accessories." It's made with quality vegan leather, so she even suggests emptying the larger pouch and "transforming it into a going-out bag." Genius.

Sporting 1.7-inch-thick soles, these pillowy platforms act like heavenly landing pads for your feet with every step.

You'll be so relieved you had this portable air compressor in the trunk when you realize one tire's looking a little floppy. It takes just minutes to pump it back to normal, and you can do all four on a single charge (though it has a 12V DC adapter just in case). You can also use it on basketballs, bike tires and balloons. It sells out frequently, so snag it while it's down to as low as it ever gets. 

According to our trackers, this queen-size comforter in classic white is down to its all-time best price. Plus, it has tens of thousands of five-star ratings to back it up. It's designed to be an all-season blanket and has a soft poly microfiber shell with down alternative filling.

"Best sleep in a long time," wrote one impressed buyer. "Not too thick, not too light. Didn't wake up feeling too hot either. I slept so well, I slept through my alarm and ended up late for my class. ... Kept the fluffiness after the first wash too, like a cloud! 10/10 would be late for class again."

Behold, Amazon's No. 1 bestselling compact treadmill. It's only 4.6 inches high and 48 inches long, so you can slide it under your sofa or bed when you're not using it. It's also only 40 pounds, which is light enough that you can probably pull it out on your own (but just heavy enough to make you sweat a little while doing so).

This handlebar-free tread, designed mostly for walking, goes up to 3.8 mph and shows your speed, distance, time and even calories burned. Also great: It has an anti-slip belt and a strong damping system, so you won't make too much noise. Control it with the included remote.

One important note: The listed retail price is (very) inflated. According to our records, this treadmill regularly retails for around $300. Still, with the on-page coupon, that brings the walking pad to well over half off — still a solid deal.

When in doubt, going the practical gift route is always smart. This deal brings the kit down to within two dollars of its lowest price all year.

Garrity says, "This is one of those things you’ll be happy to have — especially the next time you drop your keys between the seats or a tiny screw behind an appliance. Switch on the light to track the item down, then extend it until you can reach whatever you're trying to grab."

Ready to trade your soggy bath mat for one that dries quickly, stays in place and looks stylish? This nonslip top-seller is made of an ultra-absorbent material that'll soak up the water from your feet as quickly as it promotes evaporation to help reduce odors.

Le Creuset who? I (Britt) use Lodge Dutch ovens at home, and this roomy model is just right if you're cooking for a crowd.

Plus, it's so pretty you won't mind leaving it on the stove for everyone to admire.

At over 40% off, this is about the best price we've seen it marked down to since 2022 (it was just a tad lower on Prime Day). Read our full Lodge Dutch oven review for more details.

If, despite your early-bird shopping instincts, you find you need a last-minute present, e-gifts are here to save the day. You're bound to know at least one pickleball obsessive, and this fun read was written by none other than Yahoo's own Senior Tech Writer, Rick Broida.

This little wonder might be one of the most aesthetically pleasing household appliances we've come across, with its wooden legs and minimalist design. But while it might look like a million bucks, it's currently down to its best price in months. Plus, it can help lower your heating bill!

In spite of its compact size, it's quite powerful. It has two heat modes — 1000-watt high heat and 600-watt medium heat, both of which take just seconds to kick in. But it also has a cooling fan mode, meaning this isn't a machine you'll only pull out for a few months.

At 6.3 inches tall and just over 2 pounds, it's incredibly portable, making it a cinch to bring from room to room. And, most importantly, its safety features include overheating protection, as well as automatic shutoff should it tip over.

This versatile skillet ain't no flash in the pan — it's been a staple in one Yahoo Life editor's kitchen for years. Among its many perks are its lightweight, 2-pound design, as well as the removable silicone grip on its handle, which will protect your hands while you cook. 

It's also dishwasher-safe, but our editor says, "Cleanup is a breeze and only requires a few swipes with a soapy sponge, even around the rivets that secure the handle." It's currently within $2 of the lowest price we've seen all year.

A good flesh-and-blood assistant is hard to find, but an ace virtual alternative isn't. The Echo Pop is as compact as it is useful, and this smart speaker would be a welcome addition to any kitchen, bedroom or home office. And did we mention that it has more than 72,000 five-star ratings to back it up?

According to Yahoo Deals Editor Chris McGraw, it's a "smaller, feistier version of the Echo Dot" that gives you "full access to Alexa, and [you] can ask it to play music, audiobooks, the weather, set reminders and much more. Even better, the Echo Pop includes Eero functionality, so it acts as a mesh router relay point, expanding your Wi-Fi if you use a compatible system." Be sure to snag it while it's 45% off ahead of Prime Day.

These third-generation AirPods combine some of the best features of the Pros with the affordability of the base model. You get personalized spatial audio and improved sweat and water resistance (although the battery life is roughly the same), but now you get all that at the lowest price these have ever been.

Said one reviewer, "Perfect in every way. They are comfortable in the ear and block outside noise. They last about 4-5 hours after [being] fully charged. They are expensive but the quality is great."

Don't be deterred by the fact that this isn't the newest model on the market; it still boasts up to 18 hours of use per charge, a vivid 13.6-inch display and weighs only 2.7 pounds for easy toting. If you've been meaning to upgrade from your snail-like computer, it would be wise to act quickly.

This bestselling set comes with just about every type of blade a home cook could need: a 3-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch chef's knife and 8-inch bread knife. Also included: six 4.5-inch steak knives, a professional honing steel, kitchen shears and a hardwood knife block. Whew! 

This collection is majorly marked down from its list price of $345, though we've never actually seen it shoot that high. Still this deal beats the typical $150 we've seen it going for of late.
