Hold, please. Here's the smart way to watch where you're going while you, um, watch where you're going.(Amazon)
Almost every state has a hands-free driving policy (as in, Don't Do It!), but not every car has built-in GPS, Apple Carplay or Android Auto. So what are you supposed to do if you have zero directional sense, like me? Easy: Use a phone holder. These nifty little devices can keep your phone positioned so that you can glance at it without taking your eyes off the road — perfect for holiday trips. Right now, the Suuson phone holder, one of Amazon shoppers' favorite models, is on sale for just $14 for Black Friday.
As sleek as your full-sized appliances, this versatile cooker air fries, bakes, broils, toasts and more. It's roomy enough to fit a 4-pound chicken, six slices of bread or a 12-inch pizza, and will make your crispy-crunchy dreams a reality in no time. Don't be surprised if you start using this more than your actual oven!
Made with 96.3% snail secretion filtrate (yep, really), this CosRx serum has become a viral favorite for its incredible effect on skin dullness and dryness. With over 44,000 rave reviews from verified shoppers, this formula has a massive fan base — many of whom rave about how hydrated and bright their skin feels after use.
This No. 1 bestseller is over 60% off — one of its lowest prices ever — and comes with just about every type of blade a home cook could need. Henckels has been crafting quality knives for over a century, so you can rest assured they know what they're doing.
This No. 1 bestselling, TikTok-famous compact carpet cleaner packs a punch, especially considering it weighs less than 10 pounds! Its powerful suction can be used to remove stains not just from rugs, but furniture and even car upholstery, too. Plus, it comes with a self-cleaning hose tool and a bottle of Bissell's Spot & Stain with Febreeze. We haven't seen this viral cleaner priced much lower than it currently is in years (it was only a few bucks cheaper back in July for Prime Day) — and when you consider how much money it'll save you in professional cleaning bills (and replacement furniture), it'll pay for itself in just a few uses.
Have a car full of fast food containers and crumpled tissues? We'd advise scooping up this No. 1 bestselling car trash can while it's on sale for a mere $4 — the best price ever!
With its 6-quart capacity, this gorgeous air fryer can hold enough food for five to seven people, yet its small footprint won't take up too much space on your counter. Its patent-pending TurboCrisp technology helps ensure quick, even cooking with that crunch factor we all crave (though you'll be able to cook with as much as 75% less fat than deep-frying). The user-friendly touchscreen lights up while in use and features time and temperature settings (from 90-400 degrees Fahrenheit), as well as four functions: Air Fry, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate, the latter of which is a cool feature that isn't always included with air fryers.
If you get stressed when you're out and about and notice your phone's battery is at 13%, this portable charger duo is a must. They're slim and compact enough to keep stashed in your bag at all times, and each one has two USB ports for charging multiple devices at a time. Keep one for yourself and give one as a stocking stuffer ... or not! At over 50% off, this is the cheapest we've seen this set since spring.
"I bought these to travel with because I have had my phone for a few years, so the battery dies quicker than it used to," explained a happy shopper. "Plus, when traveling with a child, you need another charger for their electronics. These held a solid charge for the entire plane ride ... I can fully charge it, and it will stay charged for about a week on very light usage, and a few days on mid-heavy usage. Plus, you get two chargers for the price of one! So when one dies, you can easily pull out the second one and charge your device."
AirPods are easily the most popular earbuds on the market. If you've never tried them, now is the moment. Normally $129, this set is down to just 80 bucks for Cyber Monday. Find out why more than half a million (!) reviewers rave about these earbuds. Spoiler: incredible sound quality and a whopping 24 hours of battery life, plus impressive, easy-to-use features galore.
At just about half a pound, this topseller is like an ultra-lightweight extension of your arm — and what it lacks in heft, it certainly makes up for in dexterity. With this handy grabber tool, you'll be able to grasp hard-to-reach items above and below with ease. The durable metal rod extends as far as 32 inches for easy reaching and folds down for space-saving storage when not in use. Its rubber claws ensure a secure hold, and its grips are also equipped with magnets for lifting metallic items small and large.
This multi-use hair tool rarely goes on sale, and while it's certainly not cheap, it's currently down to the lowest price we've ever seen. With attachments for curling, smoothing, shaping and more, it'll feel like you have your own little handheld salon.
Crest Whitestrips rarely drop in price unless it's a big sales event, and as far as we can tell, they haven't been much cheaper all year. Brighter smile, here you come (and for 45% off!).
Aside from their fab price (over 40% off!), we love the real-time power readout on the front of the case of these earbuds, making it so much easier than pulling out your phone and swiping to find out how much charge is left. The top number shows how much juice is in the case, while the two smaller indicators show readings for each bud. Pretty smart! But that's not their only innovative feature: These buds have everything you'd expect in a quality pair. On-ear controls let you answer calls, skip songs and activate Siri. They also have multiple sound modes to pick from. Nearly 8,000 five-star fans can't be wrong, right?
Insignia's 24-inch TV is a popular choice thanks to its 1,080-pixel resolution and Fire TV capabilities — you can stream more than a million shows and movies. And now, the TV's already low price is even lower than before. The Alexa-equipped remote makes it easy to flip through channels using just your voice.
A water- and leak-proof design means you don't need to worry about anything icky dripping onto your floor mats. Alternatively, you can use this as an in-car organizer for accessories and other supplies.
This holder works with almost any model phone and vehicle. Mount it to your dashboard, windshield or vent without leaving a trace when you remove it.
Just press into your car's vents, down around the shifter, and in any other hard-to-clean space to keep it dirt and dust-free.
If you plan to use your phone while driving, either for GPS or as a streaming device for music, you need to be hands-free. Trust us: it's a lot less expensive than a ticket, especially when you can pick this mount up for just $14.
Many phone holders struggle to maintain their grip when the temperatures start to climb (or drop), but not this one. The Suuson can maintain its adhesion in temperatures ranging from –4°F to 203°F. If you remove it and it doesn't feel sticky, a quick rinse with soap and water will make it like new again.
As for why you need this, we'll reiterate: Most states have hands-free driving laws. If you're caught glancing down at your phone, you can pay a pricy fine. Not to mention it's dangerous to, you know, not look at the road.
"It's been a game changer for my daily commute," one reviewer said. "This car phone holder has made my daily commute safer and more convenient. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable solution to keep their phone within reach while driving."
"I love how it hooks onto the air vent rather than grips it," said this motorist, who learned the hard way. "With the two support arms, it doesn’t put any weight on the air vents, which grip-style do; they've worn out the hinges on my previous cars vents."
Another shopper wrote, "I recently bought this phone holder for my car and it has exceeded all of my expectations. I used the AC vent mount and it is very sturdy and remains intact while driving. The adjustable arms firmly hold my phone, even during bumpy roads or sudden stops. It is easily adjustable and super easy to install, so I was able to rotate it to get the perfect angle for my needs. Overall, this product is outstanding and I would highly recommend others give it a try."
"Works great," said one customer. "Only downside is that it's bulky."
While we're talking cars.... If you spend a lot of time behind the wheel, you might struggle to keep your ride shipshape. These handy-dandy devices keep that chore as easy as possible:
