Our Place 6-in-1 Wonder Oven Our Place 6-in-1 Wonder Oven
Amazon
$155 (was $195)
The Wonder Oven sold out in minutes when it first launched, and for good reason. For one, it looks stunning on your countertop without hogging too much space. Even though it has a small footprint, the editor-loved Wonder Oven sure is mighty. A wire rack, toxin-free nonstick bake pan, air fryer basket, and crumb tray are included, and it can air fry, bake, roast, toast, reheat, and broil (whew). No need to have both an air fryer and toaster on your countertop — you just need this baby!

Enter: Beautyrest’s heated shawl, which allows your giftee to change the channel, scroll on their laptop, and flip through their book without having to readjust. Of course, they can also use the soft fleece shawl as a regular blanket. It’ll be a mainstay in your giftee's loungewear and bedding rotation all season.

Amazon

"Enter: the Nori press. Compact and shaped like an oversized hair straightener, this iron gets the job done with six fabric-specific heat settings and an easy-to-use design that takes all the fuss out of ironing."
