Bentgo's kids lunch box is one of the most popular models out there with good reason — it has so many features to make lunchtime a breeze. It features five compartments with rubber-coated edges to prevent leaks and is durable enough to withstand multiple drops during the school year. The whole thing easily stashes in your bag.
"No issue with leaks, and nothing has broken for us in over two years of use," said a happy customer. "Kids like it because the five compartments allows for more variety of foods to be packed. At our house we put ketchup in the middle circle compartment if needed for lunch, or a small sweet treat like a marshmallow (totally makes their day!)."
These Sony noise-cancelling headphones are wireless and hold a charge for up to 35 hours. That's plenty of time to get you through your workday and the need for after-school peace.
"When I turn them on, they pair with my phone automatically," said a five-star fan. "I love having them on my ears for this because when they power up, suddenly there is silence. The noises around me abruptly stop. I love this! In a noisy environment, quiet is a gift, and these headphones make every day a little bit like my birthday."
The Fire TV Stick 4K is one of the best ways to instantly add video streaming to your TV without getting a new set, and right now you can get it for an incredible $30 — that's 40% off! Instead of cable, you’ll get access to thousands of shows and movies through streaming apps via the internet. It even comes with an Alexa integration, which means you can use voice commands to control it. So far, it's racked up more than 125,000 five-star reviews. Take time for yourself once the kiddos are in bed with this handy device.
"I love my Fire Stick," wrote one cord cutter. "Cable company upset me by raising my bill about every three months. Was getting close to 200 dollars. They would not give me a break. I stopped the cable altogether and watch with just my Fire Stick. I DO NOT MISS CABLE AT ALL!"
These reusable kitchen towels are made with sustainable cellulose and cotton to make them super absorbent. You can use them just like a regular paper towel, but they’re strong enough to scrub dishes with caked-on food or art supply debris that was left out on your table. It didn’t take long for the Internet to catch on to their effectiveness — so far, they have pulled in more than 33,000 five-star reviews. A pack of 10 is just $18, making each towel just $1.80 each.
“You can really scrub with them," wrote a contented kitchen cleaner. "They never feel yucky like a sponge does...I have soaked them in bleach, thrown them in the washer and they come out great every time. I've used the same two for a month now, and they still look great; when they go downhill I can compost them.”
If you're curious about air fryers, it's time to grab the Cosori Smart Wi-Fi Air Fryer while it's 25% off. Like other air fryers, It's already raked in more than 28,000 five-star reviews. You can make dinner in minutes with this — an essential feature now that life has gotten more chaotic again.
"I don't know why I waited so long to get one of these," lamented one rave reviewer. "First thing I cooked was chicken wings....absolutely amazing and virtually no mess and no hot oil to deal with and honestly tastes so much better. I've reheated rolled tacos, which stayed crunchy, and grilled cheese came out perfect with the bread preset button. I am trying to be better about my diet and this may be just the thing I need."
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
