A classic Echo for voice control of your home
Looking to add a smart device to your home? The Echo Dot Generation 3 is Amazon's most popular fabric smart speaker.

A 28-ounce shaker bottle with a stainless steel blender ball
This 28-ounce shaker can carry anything from protein shakes to smoothies. What's different, though, is that it also comes with a stainless steel blender ball to mix it all up when you're on the go. The container is BPA-free and comes with a leakproof lid along with a cap that flips open and closed. It can also be cleaned in the dishwasher and comes in 16 colors.
This portable Bluetooth keyboard that works anywhere, anytime
The year 2020 proved that working remotely is possible — and with the this foldable Bluetooth keyboard, you really can. It's a portable, fold-up keyboard that literally fits in your pocket. In fact, it's not much bigger than a smartphone, and you can pair it with nearly any phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop for working on the go. The built-in lithium battery lasts up to 40 hours continuously or 180 days on standby (which is more than enough for a short vacation or business trip).
Amazon's popular Alexa-enabled speaker
Controlling your home with just your voice has never been easier. The Echo Dot (4th Gen), Amazon's popular Alexa-enabled smart speaker, allows you to connect your entire home with Echo devices and control the lights, thermostat, and locks with a simple voice command. The Echo Dot has thousands of skills and crisp, balanced sound for playing music, compatible with just about any streaming platform. Available in three colors, this device will blend in with any room’s decor.

This ergonomic back pillow optimized for spinal alignment
If you've found yourself awakening with random aches in your back, this lumbar support pillow by ComfiLife could be your solution. This ergonomic wedge pillow can rest wherever it works best for you: under your knees or lower back, beneath your ribs, or even as a footrest. Side, back, and stomach sleepers can all benefit from using this memory foam pillow to help improve their spinal alignment while they're busy catching zzz's.

Spice up your entertainment center with LED backlights for your TV. This strip of lights are super easy to install, and they add a pop of color to your gaming and movie nights. You can adjust the 32 available colors, as well as the speed and brightness settings with the included remote to complement whatever you're watching.
A magnetic shelf to maximize your counter space while cooking
Short on kitchen counter space? Add this magnetic top shelf to the top of your stove and make a spot for spices, oils, and other frequently used ingredients. The stainless steel shelf comes in black and measures 30 by 3.5 inches, and the magnetic base will help keep it from sliding around while you're cooking. Easiest "Add to Cart" ever.
Webcam covers for extra electronic privacy
I bought the CloudValley webcam cover slides last year and can't recommend them enough. These webcam covers are subtle, easy to install, and do exactly what they're designed to do: keep your privacy intact from hackers. They come in a pack of two, but I've had the same cover on my laptop for over a year and it hasn't budged. They're easy to slide out for video chats and slide right back into place when I log out of Zoom. (Not to mention they're incredibly affordable!)
A sleek stainless steel cocktail set to elevate happy hour
Give your home bar cart a serious upgrade with this six-piece cocktail shaker set by barillio. The high-quality stainless steel set is dishwasher safe and has everything you need to make any cocktail you could want, from mojitos to Moscow mules. The included velvet bag will keep your set clean and protected during the week so it's ready for happy hour come Friday afternoon.
A luxurious lip balm with built-in sun protection
Hot, dry weather will have nothing on you with the Jack Black intense therapy lip balm. The cruelty-free balm comes in a natural mint flavor with built-in SPF 25, so it's perfect for sunny summer days. I'm very particular about lip balm, and this one gets my stamp of approval for the sun protection and germ-free application (you don't need to use your fingers to apply it). And before you ask, no, the brand is not affiliated with Jack Black, the actor of School of Rock fame.
A decked-out backpack perfect for school, travel & commuting
Once you find a good backpack, never let it go. The Tzowla backpack from Amazon may be the only backpack you'll ever need to invest in again, but it's a quarter of the price of most comparable bags. It's water resistant with laptop and tablet compartments, a hook for a key fob, a built-in USB slot for charging your devices, a headphone jack, a cupholder, and more. It's ideal for travel because it has a built-in anti-theft system along with more pockets and compartments than you'll probably ever need. There's even a slot on the back to slide it over the handle of a suitcase. I honestly don't know what more you could ask for in a backpack.
A heavy-duty lotion that will soothe even the roughest hands
During much of the pandemic I worked in a grocery store, and my hands broke out in painful eczema patches from a combination of dry skin, cold weather, and frequent hand-washing. The only lotion that was effective at soothing my cracked, red skin was O'Keeffe's Working Hands hand cream. A little of this lotion goes a long way: It's thick and fragrance-free — and within a week of twice-daily use, my hands were almost back to normal. This lotion is beloved by me as well as countless other Amazon customers: It has nearly 30,000 reviews and a 4.7-star rating.
A military-grade pen with multiple built-in tools
In search of a gift for the person who has everything? Give them the TF Takeflight tactical pen, an aluminum ballpoint pen so tough it's used by Navy SEALs (per the manufacturer). It doubles as a flashlight, bottle opener, and glass breaker — and the veteran-owned company particularly references military personnel, first responders, and people with other highly dangerous jobs as those who use it. However, even the average person could feel safer (and cooler!) equipped with this pen.
This fabric razor to make your clothes look new again
The Conair rechargeable fabric defuzzer could be just what you need to breathe new life into your wardrobe. The handheld tool uses ultra-sharp blades to trim fuzz, pills, and matts off of your clothing, making them look new again. There are three settings so you can get a close shave, and you can use it on anything from sweatshirts to blankets to your sofa.
A 3-pack of SPF-50 sunscreen that's a summertime essential
No summer vacation is complete without sun protection. For running, hiking, swimming, or biking, generously apply some Coppertone Sport Continuous sunscreen spray, which has SPF-50 protection against both UVA and UVB rays. It comes in a convenient three-pack for just $19, so you'll never have to go without.
This video doorbell that helps you keep tabs on your front porch
The high-tech answer to putting a peephole in your door is the Ring video doorbell. Using your existing doorbell hardware and advanced motion detection, you can keep tabs on who's at your door whenever, wherever. You'll get real-time notifications sent to your phone about packages and visitors, whether you're at home or away. Bonus: It's compatible with Alexa devices, which you can use to talk to your visitors without stepping foot outside.
A not-so-basic face wash for just about everybody
There are tons of fancy face washes on the market, but nothing beats Cetaphil's gentle skin cleanser, a not-so-basic face-and-body soap. Cetaphil is a drugstore classic, and this formulation contains ingredients that are effective at cleansing your skin — but it shouldn't strip it of necessary moisture. It's ideal for dry, normal, or sensitive skin, or just those with a no-muss-no-fuss approach to skincare. It's also hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and pH balanced.
An electric facial razor that can do it all
Make an investment in your daily routine with the Panasonic ARC5 electric razor, a five-blade facial razor that works wet or dry. The advanced intelligent shave sensor checks for changes in hair density 220 times a second as you're shaving (and adjusts its motor speed accordingly), ensuring you'll get a close shave. Plus, the head pivots in 16 directions so you'll never miss a spot. No irritation, ingrown hairs, or five o'clock shadow in sight.
This ultra-powerful portable cell phone charger
Life doesn't stop when your phone dies, though it certainly might seem that way. Ideal for travel, festivals, hikes, camping, or a night out, this Anker portable charger charges an iPhone 11 Pro to 50% in just 30 minutes. It's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but holds enough power to fully charge an iPhone XS over five times on a single charge. One reviewer wrote, "This is not your average powerbank due to its large capacity but nonetheless a great addition if you are going on long trips."
This highly accurate digital meat thermometer
Thanksgiving will never be the same after you invest in a ThermoPro waterproof digital meat thermometer. It's accurate within 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit, and the ambidextrous backlit display will always flip right side up to accommodate whatever angle you're using it at. It turns on and off automatically to save battery, and the IP65 waterproof rating means you can wash it under running water without fear.
These silicone baking mats made for home chefs
Have you ever spent hours toiling away at a home-baked dessert, only to find when you took it out of the oven that you neglected to grease the pan? Simply lay these Amazon Basics silicone baking mats down before placing in the oven, and you'll never again ruin a batch of cookies that way. They'll even save you from the hassle of hand-washing large baking sheets. A set contains three sheets in three different sizes, all oven-safe up to 480 degrees Fahrenheit.
These affordable smart plugs for anywhere in your home
Control your electronics using only your voice with the Kasa Smart Plugs, which are Alexa- and Google Home-compatible outlets you can use anywhere in your house. Set timers or countdown schedules for your lamps, fans, humidifiers, holiday lights, and more, and control your devices from anywhere in the Kasa app. Setup is simple, and the convenience of managing your devices with voice commands is priceless.
These satin pillowcases that'll help keep your hair & skin moisturized
Satin pillowcases like these from Love's cabin can be a lifesaver for dry hair. They come in a set of two in just about every color you can imagine, and they help protect your hair from unwanted frizz, tangles and knots by reducing friction while you sleep. They're also great for your skin because satin doesn't absorb moisture from your nighttime skincare products the way other fabrics do. Oh — and they're less than $10.
A teeth-whitening kit powerful enough to last 3 years
If your teeth are more yellow than you'd like, give the Crest 3D Whitestrips with a bonus light a try. It contains enough supplies for 10 days of whitening: 10 sets of whitening strips for your top and bottom teeth, plus a blue light device that targets and weakens stains. Use it once a day for an hour, and you'll end the treatment with bright white teeth that can last up to three years. (Yes, I said years!)
A water flosser that's easier to use than string floss
I'm a fastidious flosser, but my sensitive gums and tightly packed teeth often react poorly to traditional floss. A water flossier like the Waterpik can be up to 50% more effective than floss for improving gum health, but is less abrasive to sensitive mouths. It removes up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas and even has a stamp of approval from the American Dental Association (ADA).
A 12-pack of razor blades to keep you stocked & shaved
Save some money and restock on razor blades with the Gillete5 12-piece razor blade pack. They fit all Gillette5, SkinGuard, Fusion ProShield, Fusion ProGlide, and Fusion razors. With 15 micro-fins to gently smooth and stretch the skin along with five blades for a close shave without irritation, you'll be rid of unwanted stubble in no time.
A workout tee that's almost as good as going shirtless
You don't need to spend an arm and a leg for quality athletic wear— the Under Armour Tech 2.0 short-sleeve T-shirt is quick-drying, super soft, and less than $20. You can stock up on these knowing that they'll last a long time; one reviewer reported, "I have some that are many years old & still look perfect."
An Amazon Fire HD tablet to keep you connected on the go
Your favorite games, apps, movies, and shows are at the tip of your fingers with the Amazon Fire HD Tablet. Among the newest versions of the tablet, it has an 8-inch high-definition display with a battery life that lasts up to 12 hours. Netflix, Hulu, Instagram, TikTok, and more are all available in the Amazon Appstore, and you can even connect your tablet to Alexa devices for hands-free control.
A 36-pack of plush, strong toilet paper
You'll never be caught empty-handed in the bathroom again. Each pack of this Angel Soft toilet paper contains 36 rolls of ultra-soft, luxurious toilet paper. The entire pack of strong and absorbent mega rolls is equivalent to 144 regular rolls of toilet paper, so they'll hold up when you need them most.
A portable streaming device for your TV
Stream all your favorite content from Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, and much more, all from what looks like a flash drive. It's a Fire TV Stick Lite from Amazon, and it plugs in neatly to the back of your TV to give you full access to all the shows you can't get enough of. Its compact size and easy setup means you can take it with you when traveling, too.
These extra-sharp kitchen shears to last for years

They also come with a protective plastic blade guard for storage safety, and have a one year hassle-free replacement guarantee.
This LifeStraw with a built-in water filter
Picture this: You're on a long hike on a warm day, and you find yourself out of water. What's a crafty outdoors person to do? Pull out your LifeStraw, a straw that filters contaminated water as you drink to remove more than 99.9% of bacteria, parasites and microplastics. It meets US EPA drinking water standards and weighs in at less than 2 ounces to fit in even the smallest backpack. This filter will last for 1,000 gallons of water — and best of all, for every straw purchased, one is given to a child in need.
An Alexa-compatible indoor security camera
Keep tabs on your home at all times with the Alexa-supported Blink Mini smart security camera. The indoor camera has day and night high-definition video, and it sends alerts to your smartphone whenever motion is detected.

A flexible electric lighter with rechargeable batteries
This battery-operated, rechargeable lighter has a 360-degree flexible neck, so you won't have to get too close to the flame. It's also great for camping and other outdoor activities because it's wind- and splash-proof, with an on-and-off switch for safety. One reviewer called it "one of my smartest purchases on Amazon." They continued, "Matches and lighter fluid lighters seem so archaic now... not to mention wasteful."
This ice-shaving machine for homemade snow cones
Whether it's summertime or you're just in the moon for an icy snack, this ice shaver will help you make tasty desserts or frozen drinks quickly and easily. It works by shaving a block of ice into a container that sits below the machine's dispenser. Then, all you have to do is scoop the ice into a serving dish and add your favorite flavors.
