Luckily, barely a week into the new year, Amazon's Winter Sale is off to a strong start and we've found some of the best must-haves to upgrade your home, starting at just $9.

If your bathroom rug is flat and dull, it's time for a new one. This springy shopper favorite is up to 40% off right now on Amazon — just $9 in gray. It's so popular that more than 30,000 units have sold in the past month alone. See all 29 colors.
"We redid our entire bathroom with a bunch of these rugs and we absolutely love it," one fan wrote. "They feel great on your feet, absorb water and are super comfortable."
Unless your fridge has a built-in ice maker, you likely use traditional ice cube trays in your day-to-day life. All that twisting can result in dents and cracks over time, so it may be time for a switch-out. This handy 50%-off set comes with two trays (made to produce 60 mini ice cubes), a removable lid, a scoop and a bin.
"We are always running out of ice in the house, but this has been a game-changer in our home!" one impressed shopper wrote. "It allows us to build up a storage of ice easily. It doesn't leak, [and] the ice is super easy to get out of the tray." They added that it's "very durable" and "love that it comes with a scoop."
Dish racks can get dingy, sometimes even rusty and can become a headache to clean. This solid upgrade comes with a cutlery holder and a bowl rack built-in. Best of all, no gross puddles thanks to the easy-to-clean drainboard. It's a No. 1 bestseller too, with over 10,000 selling in the past month alone.
"Cute, compact and practical dish rack," one five-star reviewer said. "[It] fits better on my sink/counter area. I have more space for other things if needed, all around. Has a neat drain system. The legs have silicone boots you put on."
At the top of this year, I finally tossed my most-used plastic cutting board and replaced it with this hefty, super affordable 100% natural bamboo pick, which is currently on sale. It has recessed handles for easy carrying, grooves to catch any juices from meats and a hole at the corner for easy hanging.
"In an effort to remove plastics from my home, we decided to make the change from our plastic cutting boards to wood," wrote this shopper. "It is very sturdy, and the handles underneath make it super easy to move this enormous board around. I am thrilled I chose this board over some of the $150+ options."
There's no room for complaints about limited outlet space in 2025 when affordable surge protector power strips like this pair exist. Each unit features two USB ports and a five-foot-long braided extension cord that won't strip over time. Best of all, each has a flat plug that won't cause obstructions behind your furniture.
"The cords are thick and strong, and I feel super-safe plugging in all kinds of items," a confident reviewer wrote. "The fact that they have USB ports is also amazing and convenient."
If you have Ziploc bags on subscription delivery like I do, then you need one of these to keep the various sizes organized and accessible. Better yet, this bamboo storage organizer just removes the eyesore of those heavily labeled packages. At 40% off, you really can't go wrong.
"I wasn't too sure about getting this, but it's a must," one convert explained. "Keeps the bags in place and organized. No breaking boxes getting in the way of opening your drawers. Super functional, easy to fill and totally worth it!"
If those Tupperware containers in your cabinets are on their last legs, now's the time to upgrade to glass. This 24-piece set comes with four square, four rectangular and four round containers with leakproof snap-lock lids to keep all of your food airtight and fresh. They come in handy for storing leftovers or taking lunches on the go. Snag this set for over 50% off!
"The sizes are perfect for all types of leftovers, keeping veggies and fruit fresh and freezing casseroles," one home cook wrote. "I love how the containers go from freezer to microwave. I am very happy that I have replaced all of my plasticware with much healthier glass containers."
Gooseneck electric kettles usually come at a hefty price, but this one is 58% off (be sure to clip the on-page coupon to get the full discount), which is one of the best bargains we've seen in a while. Aside from being visually stunning, this kettle has a unique spout that lets you pour more precisely, preventing splashes and burn accidents. It also has a quick-boil function, so you won't be waiting forever for your water to heat up.
"[It's] stylish, heats up quicker than any other electric kettle I've ever owned, and it's very easy to dial in and hold the perfect temp," one pleased customer wrote.
