Get the set of four knives from Walmart for $9.44.

Promising review: "This bike rack is fantastic. It's light, easy to put together, and very easy to use. I can roll my bike up into it instead of having to lift it due to the dipped ends. It's easy to attach any size bike (even ones with a low-step middle section). I’ve used it on several long trips and they stay very securely attached. I’m extremely happy with this purchase." —Lv2Read

Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available for two bikes, four bikes, or ebikes).

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

It's so easy to use — they just add their favorite coffee grounds to the filter, pour cold water over, brew in the fridge, and voila!

Promising review: "Super easy to use and fits perfectly into my fridge. Great price and great for making cold brew at home when you don't want to spend the money at the coffee shop. Definitely would buy as a gift for someone." —Kendra A Lambert

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Promising review: "If you have not tried a Hydro Flask, then you are missing out. I didn't know what I was missing until I got one. No more reheating my coffee every 10 minutes or so because this keeps it nice and hot. Also on the flip side, ice cubes don't melt immediately in cold drinks and cause your drink to get all watery." —KPCG2011

Get it from Hydro Flask for $18.71 (originally $24.95; available in eight colors).

Shipping info: Expedited 2-Day shipping is available for an additional cost; orders placed using FedEx Ground shipping typically take 2–5 business days to process and arrive 1–5 business days after.

Promising review: "I got this due to seasonal allergies and asthma. This has been a lifesaver and works great! I love that I can turn off the light at night since I use it in my bedroom and the noise level is fine as it becomes white noise in the background." —MFrink

Get it from Amazon for $99.99.

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Pizza stones absorb excess moisture from the dough, meaning they'll get a crispier, more evenly baked crust than they'd get if they just used a sheet tray. Plus, they can use it on the grill, too!

Promising review: "Whether you make pizza from scratch or enjoy a frozen pizza from the market, this pizza stone is essential for the best at home pizza experience. Preparing your pizza on a stone assures a crispy crust and removing the pizza from the oven, on the heated stone, assures you that it will remain warm while the slices are consumed." —Steve

Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in three sizes).

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Brightland is a WOC-owned small business that sources olives for their oils from a family-run farm in California.

Promising review: "I have yet to find another olive oil with better flavor than Brightland Co. I find myself making meals specifically just to use this lovely olive oil. It is a total game changer. Say goodbye to that nasty bitter flavor that comes with most commercial oils, and hello to an explosion of flavors, and spice. (Surprisingly spicy!) Ordering and shipping are always a breeze, you can also easily adjust the subscription to suit your needs. I’m so happy to have found this product, it honestly makes everything taste better." —Jen

Get a gift subscription from Brightland for $65/month (available once monthly or every 2–3 months). For gifts, you can also add a personalized message at checkout.

Promising review: "I was skeptical based on the price but pleasantly surprised once I opened the package. The shirts are comfortable, soft, thick(but not too thick) and great quality." —David B.

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Promising review: "These shoes are very comfortable, look great, and seem to be pretty high quality. The sole is great and they are comfortable at first wear without any time needed to break them in." —Daniel C.

Shipping info: Orders are shipped Monday-Friday (excluding most major US holidays) and processed within 1–3 business days. Expedited 2-Day and Overnight shipping options are available for an additional cost.

Promising review: "This seat cushion is SO GOOD. I have had a lot of problems with pressure on my tailbone and resulting back problems, and they've been getting worse. I will be honest, I have only tried the old-fashioned medical donuts, so I don't have much to compare it to. However, this cushion is nicely thick, and the cutout and contours are so perfect and they take all pressure off my tailbone. After working for a few hours, I got up and for the first time in almost a year, didn't have pain. Normally, the pressure on my tailbone becomes pretty bad while sitting, but produces an even sharper pain upon standing. Feeling so great for the first time prompted me to buy another for work so I could keep this one at home and never be without it! Hopefully, reducing the pressure on my tailbone will also help it heal, but even being free from pain is wonderful." —CSC

Get it from Amazon for $45.95 (available in three colors).

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Promising review: "I love pasta, but I hate *making* pasta. Too many pots, pans, strainer, cleanup, etc. Forget it. And after a long day at work when I am craving pasta, all I want to do is eat right away. This pasta cooker cooked pasta better than I have ever cooked pasta in my life. I am Italian, so as you can imagine I have eaten (and made myself) a LOT of pasta. This product is a game changer. It was extremely easy to use, cooked quickly, and it came out PERFECTLY. Not over cooked, a little al dente, but not firm. Perfection. Now I have no excuse not to cook pasta for myself (and my husband) practically every day. BUY THIS. It will change your life." —Hope Lanza

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Promising review: "Love this. I have many items to plug in now that I have to office at home. There's plenty of room to plug in two laptops, a computer, a monitor and my Alexa safely. It's a little bulkier than I was expecting but that is due to the room your items will need." —Jennifer

Get it from Amazon for $17.97.

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Promising review: "So neat and fun to use! I used it the next morning after the delivery, and I cook my eggs only in the Dash Go. It cooks every egg so perfectly, and they come out so fluffy every time. It cooks a variety of egg dishes, and you can cook vegetables, and some meat like fish. Very wonderful kitchen gadget, and I highly recommend you make a dash to buy the Dash Go Rapid Egg Cooker if you love eggs! You will not be disappointed!" —Tonya

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

FYI, many reviewers say these run a bit large, so consider sizing down.

Promising review: "First time wearing Dr. Martens and I’m blown away. These are awesome, go with a lot of stuff. Once you break them in, they’re more comfortable!" —Zakary T.

Get it from Dr. Martens for $140 (available in men's sizes 6–16 and seven colors).

Shipping info: Ground Shipping (5–7 business days) is free for orders $50+. Next-Day (1–2 business days), 2-Day, and 3-Day shipping options are also available for an additional cost.

They can store it on the counter or in the fridge, or even freeze it to easily pop out the solidified grease. PS: It's made by small biz Talisman Designs, which creates helpful products to make cooking at home a little easier.

Promising review: "This thing is awesome. Big enough to hold plenty of grease without taking up a ton of space. I keep mine in the butter compartment of my fridge next to the butter. I poured the grease right from the pan, still very hot, right into it and popped the lid on and put it in the fridge. Next time I needed some grease I scooped some out with a spoon, no muss no fuss. Much better than the glass jar I was using. My only warning is if you get it out when people are visiting, keep an eye on it. It's so cute and so good at its job everyone will want one. This is an awesome gift idea. The little box it comes in is so cute with its little piggy face sticking out. Anyone who cooks with grease will love this." —John Dollard

Get it from Talisman Designs on Amazon for $15.99.

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Promising review: "I bought these to go in my husband's gym bag and his sneakers. They are amazing! You simply twist them and toss them wherever needs refreshing. My nephew left wet clothes in his book bag and the mildew smell was terrible! These worked wonders on that bag and eventually it smelled new again! These keep sneakers smelling fresh and prevent that heavy odor from forming." —Erin Hayes

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $15.75.

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

It easily slips into the cup holder or console.

Promising review: "I cannot say how much to this day I absolutely love this product. As far as products I would never give up in my life, this is 100% one of them. I couldn't live without this anymore and have recommended it to so many people. It eliminates loose change in your car, helps you start to save your change a little better, helps with drive-thrus or places you could use exact change to save a buck (or $20), and has helped me in so many more situations. Over two years, four different cars, and more than a thousand dollars through it, it still functions exactly like day #1. The springs still work great despite how much change has been through it, being carried and dropped, moving between houses and dorms, and just general abuse like any object in your car. It's a great gift or something to help someone with a messy car. Absolutely recommend!" —NickDeMartin

Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Promising review: "I bought these for my husband after he loved how I felt in my own Eberjey PJs. He loves them!! They are so soft and drape really nicely. They also wash great and don't shrink or pill. I have a feeling this won't be the last pair I buy for him! They do run a bit big, however, so I recommend sizing down." —Kathy M.

Get it from Eberjey for $158 (available in men's sizes XS–XL and seven colors).

Shipping info: Standard Shipping (4–8 business days) is $7.00 or free on orders of $100+. Express Shipping (2–3 business days) and Overnight Shipping (one business day) are also available for an additional cost.

What they'll get: The starter kit comes with two blades and a charging station, and every one, three, or six months they'll receive a 4-count refill blade pack.

Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! The heat added a dramatic level of comfort while shaving. Each stroke felt wonderful. With my first shave, I expected to feel the warmth but I doubted it would provide such a dramatic level of comfort. What I didn't expect was how much sharper this cartridge was. The feedback from each stroke was very different from the feedback on the Gillette Pro Glide Cartridge. I very much like the Pro Glide, but this cartridge was very smooth with hardly any tug on the hairs. With my coarse beard this razor gave me a shave as close and comfortable as a good straight razor shave!" —Robert

Get the starter kit from Gillette for $115 (originally $150), plus $25 for each refill pack delivery. You can choose how often you'd like them to receive refills (every one, three, or six months), and you can cancel the subscription at any time.

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

Dan-O's is a small biz that was founded by — yes — Dan O. (Oliver), who came up with a spice blend one day and realized it actually tasted really good! People who tried the seasoning told him he should sell it, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Promising review: "Life changing. The best seasoning I’ve ever used. Definitely leveled up my cooking with this! Will order again — but the biggest size this time!" —Josie

Get a pack containing the original and spicy seasonings from Dan-O's on Amazon for $13.

Shipping info: 2-day shipping available with an Amazon Prime account.

This gap filler is made from a neoprene material that provides the universal perfect fit for any car.

Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize that it would become one of my favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft, acting just like an extension of my seat. There really isn't another product that compares to this." —Tessa Forbes

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99.

Promising review: "This device is ingenious! Wished I’d known this product exist sooner. I use Arm & Hammer toothpaste which still comes in the standard small cap so having it prompt up behind the bathroom cabinet was impossible. Now, problem solved. It's a small invention that made a positive impact. I thank the person who thought of it." —Jl33NYC

Promising review: "These mugs are perfect for me. I like that you don't have to use a coaster and that they keep my coffee warm to the last drop. They fit nicely in my hand. I have arthritis in my hands so I need a substantial coffee mug. They are very pretty, too." —Busy Bee
