The curved edge is designed for sofas and rugs; The flat edge is made for under couches and furniture.

This bright, invigorating all-natural scrub is made from some of the most skin-nourishing ingredients around, including sweet orange oil, dead sea salt, organic aloe vera juice and coconut oil. The scent is more tart that candy sweet and it's amazingly effective for sloughing off dead skin cells. 

The product (seriously, one of my current faves!) is so popular on Amazon, it's currently racked up 30,000 5-star reviews, like this one: "Leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated!"

Skip the flowers and give her these zero-maintenance plants instead. The only catch: She'll have to build 'em first. Luckily, it's pretty easy because the 758 pieces are divided into nine bags — one for each plant and its corresponding terracotta pot. "The attention to detail in each plant is remarkable, bringing a charming and realistic touch to my home decor without the worry of watering," one happy builder wrote.

"As someone whose greatest fear is burning my house down, I'm a little obsessed with these pretty yet practical gadgets. Not only do they allow you to enjoy the scent of your favorite candles without any flame, they can also extend their lives as well. I plan on getting a few of these to gift to family and friends this year; at under $30, it's a small price to pay for some peace of mind." —Britt Ross, Senior Deals Writer

"I'm a huge fan of my silk pillowcase — I feel like royalty while sleeping on the smooth surface, but it also keeps my hair from breaking and frizzing at night. This holiday season, I'm going to spread the wealth and gift these to friends and family. At just $10, it makes the perfect stocking stuffer. You can also choose from tons of different colors — everything from neutrals to bright pink and teal — so there's a style for everyone on your list." —Rory Halperin, Senior Commerce Editor

"Do you know how hard it is to get a tween boy to wear any sort of coat or jacket? Well, I've finally found a workaround: This battery-pack-powered fleece. It's light enough not to bug a coat-averse kid from the get-go, and they can toggle between three heat levels by pressing a button. If you're not part of the bus-stop crew, never fear — it would be a great gift for anyone who wants a little extra warmth without the bulk this winter." —Saundra Latham, Commerce Editor

"This oversize cardigan looks very similar to an expensive Jenni Kayne one that's $395, but obviously, this one is a fraction of the price. I got one last year and it's super soft, comfy and washes well — so I had to get two more. This year, I'm going to gift one to my mom. They're great for layering over a T-shirt with jeans or leggings and especially great for travel. I know my snowbird mother will take hers on the plane to Florida this year, and when she lands, it won't take up too much room in her tote bag." —Ellie Conley, Trending Writer

"My son just started asking 'why?' incessantly, so I'm leaning heavily into early learning resources. I love Britannica's educational books like this First Big Book of Why, and with 10 nieces (yes, all nieces) and my own two kids to nerd out with, I'll be sharing the love with titles like The Good Germ Hotel, Britannica's Ready for School Words and Literally." —Laura Williams, Senior Health Writer

"The best budget tablet just got a refresh, and while the updates are pretty modest, this is still an amazingly versatile device — especially at the Black Friday price of just $55. Amazon even managed to bake some new AI features into the Fire HD 8, like e-mail proofreading and natural-language web page summaries. Before you spend a small fortune on an iPad Mini, you owe it to yourself to catch Fire. Read my Amazon Fire HD 8 review to learn more." — Rick Broida, Senior Technology Writer

"More and more research shows that inhaling certain scents throughout the day (such as rosemary and peppermint) can lead to increased focus and mental clarity overall. This diffuser is wildly well reviewed and it will look cute in my (or my gift recipient's) office too." —Jennifer Romolini, Senior Beauty Editor

If you really want to treat yourself to healthier-looking hair, this super lightweight gadget dries hair freaky fast and leaves it silky smooth. It rarely goes on sale. 

"My hair stylist recommended this hair dryer — it's the same she uses in her salon," said one shopper. "I noticed that when she styled my hair, it was always smoother and softer. I started using the same shampoo and conditioner she used but didn't get the same results. Now, when I blow-dry my hair with this device, I'm getting the same great results as when she styles my hair."

"I love my husband dearly, but he's never met a TV remote that he didn't near-immediately lose somewhere — in the couch cushions, under the coffee table, sometimes in different rooms from the television entirely. Tile Stickers have been a lifesaver for when we're struggling to locate the Roku clicker, soundbar remote, etc., and I have a feeling this two-pack will come in very handy for a variety of these kinds of items. They're perfect for gifting to any similarly-absent-minded loved ones too — stocking stuffer, anyone?" —Carrie McCabe, Senior Deals Writer

If you think your Ugg boots are cozy, just wait until you wrap up in this faux fur blanket from the brand. The dense 50- by 70-inch throw blanket will look great on your sofa or armchair this fall. Best of all, it will keep you toasty, and unlike a lot of other furry blankets, it's machine-washable.

"Heaven!" said one customer. "This blanket is worth the money! It is so soft and heavy, perfect to cozy up with."

"Even at full price, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max was the budget pick in our best streaming devices roundup. At 50% off, it's a steal. Amazon's streamer may not have the easiest interface in the world, but it does have lightning-fast Wi-Fi, robust parental controls and some of the best gaming options anywhere — including support for Xbox Game Pass (basically console gaming without the console). All for a measly $30." —Rick Broida, Senior Tech Editor

"As someone who always travels with just a carry-on, no matter how long the trip, I have to say this Travelpro suitcase is a total dream! It rolls so effortlessly, and the contour grip handle feels super comfortable to hold. I love how both sections have zippered panels that help compress my belongings, plus there are multiple pockets for all my smaller items. The best part? It has an expansion zipper that gives me an extra two inches of space, which is a lifesaver when I get carried away with souvenir shopping!" —Rebecca Carhart, Style Writer

"Not everyone likes wearing a watch or ring while exercising. For the fitness buff who wants to track their heart rate and intensity level without restricting wrist or hand movement, Polar's Verity Sense armband is the way to go — Polar is known for its top-notch heart rate products" —Laura Williams, Senior Health Writer

"For anyone who runs, hikes or bikes and wants a GPS watch, this lightweight Polar Pacer is an excellent choice. It's also good for tracking general activity and fitness metrics and includes a built-in heart rate monitor." —Laura Williams, Senior Health Writer

"Weighted blankets and toys can help kids calm down, and these lavender-scented, microwavable stuffed animals are on my list to buy for my own kids this year. This spider to match my son's Spiderman theme, and the unicorn for my daughter. Anything to make bedtime a little easier, right?" —Laura Williams, Senior Health Writer

"I love these ESW face masks. I often buy them to stick in birthday cards as a small treat or bring them on trips to share with friends. This 'juice cleanse' multipack comes with five fruit-forward masks for detoxing pores, brightening, moisturizing and soothing skin and providing anti-aging benefits. And just to note, I have sensitive skin that's prone to breakouts and they've always helped, never irritated my skin. They're great stocking stuffers, but I'll also give out a few to my girlfriends this holiday season." —Ellie Conley, Trending Writer

"I use an artificial Christmas tree, so I love lighting up this Balsam and Cedar scent from Yankee Candle to give my apartment that cozy holiday feel. This enchanting blend features aromatic balsam, cedarwood and juniper berry — it smells exactly like a real tree. It should last me through the holidays, though I might get a second just to be safe." —Rebecca Carhart, Style Writer

"When I tell my teenage daughter to put on a hat in the winter, she inevitably always grabs MY absolute favorite Madewell beanie. So this season, I'm gifting her one of her own. Normally, this cotton hat is $35 at Madewell, but right now Amazon has two colors on sale for less. I'm grabbing both!" — Jeanine Edwards, Shopping Director
