The name doesn't lie — seeing our food prepped so neatly really does give us a jolt of joy. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Prepping meals ahead of time is a fantastic way to stay organized and beat the 7 a.m. rush to make your lunch. But once the vegetables have been chopped and the fruit sliced up, you'll need something to store everything in. Sure, you could purchase some flimsy plastic tubs, but these days, more shoppers are ditching those for glass alternatives, like the highly rated JoyJolt Glass Storage Containers. Thousands of Amazon reviewers swear by 'em, thanks to their leak-proof, airtight lids and impressive capacity. But what really "seals" the deal is the fact that a set of 12 is on sale for as little as $40, down from $65 — that's nearly 40% off.
No one likes a stinky fridge! Keep odors at bay with this deodorizer that can last for up to a decade (yes, 10 whole years). Simply place it on a shelf and let it do its job.
More than 3,600 Amazon customers give it five stars and say it really works. "Having boiled eggs and onions in the refrigerator at the same time can be horrific," said one. "Baking soda cannot mask the smells, so I bought this to try, and to my surprise, it actually does make the refrigerator smell fresh. ... I would give it 10 stars if I could."
If you sleep hot, these moisture-wicking pillows will help keep you comfortable. They're filled with a plush down alternative (100% polyester) that's encased in a soft, breathable sateen cover. Score the set while they're well over half off.
"My husband and I are very picky about our pillows, and we are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these are," said one five-star fan. "We are both side sleepers, and these have helped both of us have better nights of sleep. They support our necks without feeling like we are too propped up, and they offer enough give to help feel like our necks are being cradled. I'm glad I found these."
If you spend lots of time in the kitchen, your feet deserve a cushy surface to stand on during all of that cooking (and dishwashing). This highly rated anti-fatigue mat is made from a comfy foam to help take some of the pressure off of your muscles and joints, and its nonslip bottom will stay put without sliding around. The waterproof material is also easy to wipe clean.
If you're set on giving her a candle, might I offer a (friendly) suggestion? Pair it with this chic lamp, which actually warms the wax so she can enjoy the candle's aroma without any smoke, soot or flame. Candle warmer lamps made Google's Holiday 100 in 2023, but the trend is clearly here to stay given that the top ones keep selling out again and again. Snag Amazon's No. 1 bestseller while you still can.
This popular problem-solver has five adjustable dividers so you can neatly organize your lids by size, shape or however you'd like. No more messy stack of mystery lids taking up precious space.
This small yet mighty handvac has been scooped up more than 60,000 times in the past month alone, so it's clearly doing something right. Don't be fooled by the fact that it weighs just 1.4 pounds; shoppers rave about its strong suction and impressive battery life. Plus, it comes with a built-in crevice tool for reaching tight spaces, and according to my price trackers, at nearly 45% off, it's within a dollar of its lowest price on record.
Behold: the coveted Stanley cup. These bestselling beverage bearers rarely go on sale (they're so popular that they don't really need to), but this one happens to be marked down to a new record low in a handful of pretty hues — good time to stock up!
It's got a built-in flip straw and keeps drinks cold for up to nine hours (40 hours if they're iced). Plus, its tapered bottom will fit right in your car's cup holder.
You love the cooler temps fall brings, but the leaf maintenance? Not so much. But that's why tools like this cordless wonder exist. It's lightweight, but can reach speeds as fast as 150 mph to clear your yard in no time, and because it comes with two batteries, you'll be able to work for up to an hour before needing a charge (30 minutes per battery on low speed). This is its lowest-ever price at 35% off.
This powerful 6.8-pounder made it onto Home & Garden Writer Kristin Granero's list of the best cordless stick vacuums after she tested a slew of models.
She says it "has one of the sleekest designs and smartest digital displays in its price range," adding, "It can be set up in a matter of seconds and comes with an equally minimalistic-looking, freestanding charging mount that requires no assembly. The LCD screen [has] Wi-Fi connectivity and a color-coded halo to distinguish the level of cleanliness, plus battery reads, and the brush cleaner head has ample light for visibility. ... Attachments include a mini anti-tangle brush for getting into grooves."
Oh, and as far as price is concerned? It's only dipped $20 lower once, and that was during Black Friday.
Thanks to this discount, you'll get 12 containers and lids for just over $3 a pop. They're available in seven colors, including black, green and even pink, but note that prices vary.
As mentioned, these food storage containers are 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, which is plastic). You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won't get to right away.
With this set, you'll get four rectangular containers, four square containers and four round containers that range from 11 to 35 ounces. The included lids have airtight silicone seals and snap shut on each side to keep food fresh and help prevent leaks. Now you'll have ample storage for everything from leftovers to ingredients you've prepped for the week.
Nearly 14,000 Amazon customers are loving their food savers — over 1,000 were bought in just the past month.
"Best storage containers I have ever owned, and I'm 73," shared one wowed shopper. "Needless to say, I have many. I was so tired of fighting with poor-fitting lids. These are amazingly functional."
"Absolutely love how versatile these containers are," gushed another impressed buyer. "The glass is sturdy and [the] lids are easy to clean and do not stain. Both containers and lids did well in my top rack dishwasher without any warping. I put soup in the container and flipped it upside down on my counter just to test if it would leak, and not one drop escaped through the seal."
"These are excellent quality!" exclaimed a third reviewer. "Honestly, I like them more than my Pyrex containers. The lids stay on well, they stack together nicely and they wash up well!"
The thoughtful customer above also reported, "My only complaint is the lids are annoying to store, but otherwise I love them and will be ordering more!" (Psst: Keep scrolling for a smart lid-storage solution.)
Said a final fan, "This set is really small. Great for minimal leftovers. Ideal for going into lunch boxes. But for family-sized leftovers, they are too small."
And here's that smart lid-storage solution we mentioned:
