Instant Pot DUO Plus, $130
The Duo Plus was on major markdown, so it’s no shock that it sold out quickly (the 6-quart model is still currently sold out, but will be restocked soon). This pressure cooker has high and low settings, can be used to make yogurt or as a sterilizer, and has a total of 15 preset functions.
Don’t have a Smart TV but want to watch your favorite streaming services on the screen? Enter the Fire TV Stick, which plugs into your HDTV and allows you to connect to Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and many more. It also comes with the Alexa Voice Remote—no more fumbling to change channels or switch apps.
Probably the most well-known DNA kit, AncestryDNA lets you find out all about your genetics by simply spitting into a tube. Who knows what you’ll discover?
These drain strips are designed to clean and deodorize drain lines with slow-dissolving enzymes, which eat away all the gross stuff that gunks up the pipes (like fat and grease). Just drop one of these strips down the drain at the beginning of each month and stop worrying about bad smells forever.
Amazon Basics Microfiber Bed Sheet Set, Queen, $20
We won’t sugarcoat it: Sheet sets and bedding in general can get seriously pricey. That’s why these popular sheets are so great—for $20 you can score new set of sheets for every bed in your home without feeling guilty.
The latest generation of Amazon’s popular Echo Dot device has a nicer fabric design and improved speaker for richer sound quality. Not only does it allow you to stream music with voice control, but it can also play audiobooks, react to commands, make phone calls, and connect to any other Alexa-compatible devices in your home.
Homstek Wool Dryer Balls, $17 $9
Dryer balls are a chemical-free and environmentally-friendly alternative to dryer sheets. This reusable 6-pack of handmade dryer balls are made of New Zealand wool. They can naturally soften clothes, reduce wrinkles, shorten your drying time, and cut down on energy usage. If only these things could fold our laundry too!
Turkish towels like these use longer fiber cotton and fewer joins, which means stronger and smoother cotton threads. They’re known to become even softer, fluffier, and more absorbent with successive washings.

You probably don’t enjoy cleaning the bathroom, but it’s one of those chores that must be done. This power scrub brush should cut your cleaning and scrubbing time in half—just attach the brush head to your cordless drill and scrub away. And why stop at the bathroom? You can use the Drillbrush to conquer any hard to clean surface at home, like the oven or patio furniture.
These genius tablets get rid of grime and bad odors that build up in your dishwasher. Just pop a tablet into the detergent tray, run the wash cycle, and that’s it!
