1. A KitchenIQ sharpener that'll handle dull kitchen knives for change when compared to the Chef's Choice sharpener.
2. A two-pack of glass phone screen protectors anyone can easily DIY (I did!) for less than a third of the cost of having someone apply one at the Apple store. I've been using these for YEARS and am on what is likely my third pack. They're lifesavers!
3. Stila eyeliner to help you draw on your preferred flick with smudgeproof wear (versus the slightly more versatile action of the double-tipped Tom Ford).
4. An Instant Pot that'll stand in for 11 kitchen appliances, one of which is a rice cooker, like a pricey Zojirushi one. And an air fryer too!
5. A Bambusi bamboo steak carving board with juice grooves and a spot to park your roast with most of the bells and whistles that makes the sturdy JK Adams maple carving board perfect for sharp kitchen tasks.
6. A Cook N Home stainless-steel cooking set that'll shine just as bright in your kitchen as an All-Clad cookware set while whipping up all sorts of delish meals.
7. A Shark hand vac that's actually meant for pet owners, but can still handle detail cleaning like a Dyson vac can.
8. An RTIC tumbler that'll keep liquids as hot or as frigid as you like, just as the legendary Yeti does.
9. An Oral-B rechargeable toothbrush with lean, mean cleaning power akin to a Philips Sonicare DiamondClean toothbrush for the best dental visit yet!
10. A set of cloth diaper fasteners that could turn you into a cloth diaper convert, finally ditching the disposables.
11. An URPOWER diffuser that'll rival the essential oil-diffusing effect of the super sexy (but much more expensive) MUJI one.
12. An Aeropress — it may just become your #1 caffeine bud with the versatility to use on camping trips, at the office, or just on your kitchen countertop — unlike a splurge-y Nespresso machine.
13. An AmazonBasics laptop sleeve to lend some extra cushion comparable (in silhouette) to an InCase classic neoprene sleeve.
14. A Zinus mattress foundation for impressing your back without blowing your meager budget on an IKEA bed frame and basically every other bed frame out there that's pricier.
15. London Fog boots to get you through all sorts of winter slush for less than a pair of L.L. Bean boots.
16. A Ninja blender that'll whirrrr its way into your life and take the place of the buzzy Vitamix you were still saving up for.
17. A pair of Joules wellies in case you can't shake the price on holy grail Hunters for shoes you're just going to get wet. *Very* wet.
18. A tube of Monistat chafing relief gel powder will give ya' similar prep work and staying power as luxury primers the likes of Smashbox Photo Finish Primer.
