Over 8,000 of these chargers were bought in the past month, and one customer reported: "I use this next to my bed. It charges my watch and phone very fast and it's light and works perfectly as expected. I highly recommend to all iPhone users! The size is perfect as well, not too big or small.

Whether you have a big yard or a small deck, string lights can add charm and sparkle to your space. This 25-foot string is heavy-duty, dimmable, weatherproof, and shatterproof. Plus, you can connect multiple sets to span even the most expansive outdoor spaces. It is ideal for dark winter nights (and days!) or any time you want to give a little ambient warmth to the look of your home.
One fan is over the moon about these lights. "Bought these on a deal and we couldn’t be happier! They work great! We used two strands and they are so bright! My husband was amazed! We love them! I will say if you get them and think some are out or not working just take literally two seconds and tighten them! They are exactly what we wanted !"
You don't even need a straw with this handy number that's designed with its own straw — or pop open the top to chug away, You can easily fill it without opening the lid, and it's BPA-free for safe drinking and dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Over 1,000 were bought in the past month alone, and if you buy it now it'll arrive before Christmas.
"This is a brilliantly designed water bottle," raved one hydrated fan. "It's slim, dishwasher safe, and keeps icy drinks cold well. The lid design is top-notch: press a button and the clear top piece springs back to reveal a sip or straw option. Snap open the protruding piece below the button and the entire lid lifts back for chugging, which is what I always use. I can fill ice that way too. It's perfectly easy. I've used this bottle daily since purchasing it three months ago before this review to make sure it's really all it seemed to be. It is."
This vac punches well above its weight, thanks to super-strong 5300 Pa suction power to lift up dirt, grime and debris that’s lurking on your carpets and rugs. You can then set it to mop for a thorough cleaning of your floors. It also works with Alexa, and this 2-in-1 is now nearly 60% off.
One shopper revealed, "Our home has ceramic tile floors, and with two dogs—one of them a lively 9-month-old puppy—our floors are usually a mess by the end of the day with grass, dirt and all sorts of debris being tracked in. We decided to name our robot vacuum 'Sparky,' and since we purchased it in August, Sparky has been cleaning and mopping every night. I have to say, it’s done an impressive job, and both my wife and I truly appreciate waking up to clean floors every morning."
Kitchen cleaning often gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list when laundry and other chores seem more immediate. However, food splatter, crumbs and overall ick do accumulate in no time, which can make you even less inclined to want to deal with it. But these brushes are here to do the dirty work. And what's better, at only $4 a pack, each brush is just over a buck.
"Very handy for all kinds of jobs," according to this user. "These are even handier than I thought they would be. I have one in my kitchen, one in the upstairs bathroom and one for the basement. They are great for cleaning around faucets; I spray some Scrubbing Bubbles when my shower is wet and then use the crevice brush to clean the grout. They easily fit into places that were awkward to clean before."
The surface of the 14-inch wok changes from black to blue at high temperatures, forming a non-stick surface. There's no chemical coating, so you don't have to worry about toxic substances and coating falling off. Works indoors or out, and comes with a stainless steel spatula, 6-inch cooking skimmer and wooden lid. And it arrives before Santa if you pick it up now.
"Perfect!" gushed this fan. "I'm not experienced at all but you would never know. I made stir-fried rice and stir-fried vegetables with steak and chicken. It was perfect and nothing stuck. I love this wok! The wooden lid doesn't get hot and adds a lot of charm."
If you need a last-minute Christmas gift that'll wow 'em, look no further than this 15-piece knife set with stainless-steel blades and triple-riveted handles. It comes with a 13-inch chef knife, 13-inch carving knife, 13-inch bread knife, 12-inch Santoku knife, 9.5-inch utility knife, 8-inch paring knife, 6-piece serrated steak knives, sharpener and precision kitchen scissors — all in a premium knife block.
"What can I say, my husband was ecstatic and they are beautiful knives," reported this satisfied customer. "Great quality and super, super sharp, be careful when unpacking them. I would highly recommend."
Making a steak that doesn't resemble your dog's rubber chew toy is easier than you'd think. You need the right tools, of course, as the best way to achieve your preferred level of doneness is via temperature. That's why the deal on this meat thermometer is worth checking out. This popular gizmo takes all the guesswork out of grilling, roasting and baking.
"Easy and works!" raved one of nearly 8,000 five-star fans. "I was so discouraged after having to return/throw away two other versions. This one automatically turns on when the probe is lifted up and shuts down when returned to the closed position. Fast reading."
This bento box that's great for kids and adults has three compartments — one large and two small — and is BPA-free, leak-proof and dishwasher-safe. It also comes with a separate container for the included cutlery. You can get it in seven cheery colors and it'll get to you before Christmas.
"Just right," said this happy camper. "I ordered two of these. With working the night shift, the portion size is perfect. It's easy to transport. I just slide it in my work bag. It has everything all in one. Knife, fork and spoon in the lid with room for a couple of napkins. A great value for the money."
For some, keeping cool isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity — especially if you've got heat-sensitive health issues. This fan can give you greater control over your comfort. Amazon customers say this neck fan lets them get out in the heat on vacation. So does one of our shopping writers, who said this fan kept her cool during a Disney World heat wave. Read her entire review here. And it's now 50% off.
"Great gift!" exclaimed this fan. "I got this for my mom to wear on her walks. She loves it! It absolutely does the job of keeping her cool. 10/10 recommend for low-intensity exercises or even housework or on stuffy airplanes."
