Whether you’re in the market for something to up your holiday hospitality game for out-of-town guests or you’re looking to give a gift that nearly everyone will enjoy (read: the gift of caffeine), this Bialetti Moka Pot is a good choice. Benefiting from more than 80 years of craftsmanship, this sturdy aluminum pot features a sleek eight-sided shape that looks cool while being functional (it’s designed to evenly distribute heat in order to enhance the coffee’s aroma).

‘Tis the season for holiday parties, and if you’re going to a lot of potluck soirées, you know the pain of having to figure out a way to safely transport your dish to the party, spill-free and ready-to-eat. One way to do it? With this Hamilton Beach Stay or Go Slow Cooker, which is currently on sale for more than 20 percent off.

Whether you were reluctantly roped into a white elephant gift exchange by your overzealous office manager or you and your work friends have been doing a secret Santa for years, you need to give a gift that’s funny, fun, and something people will actually want. That’s where this Desk Donut Push Pin Holder, which is on sale now and qualifies for Prime shipping, comes in.

If you believe the hype about the miracles of the Instant Pot (and we firmly believe you should), you may have it on your holiday shopping list for all your friends and family. And if you’re a last-minute shopper, there’s some good news: While the 6-Quart Instant Pot is so popular that it’s been sold out on Amazon (which is no easy feat) for days, it’s currently back in stock and ready for you to buy, right now, for $120.

It’s inevitable: Someone is going to give you a gift this weekend. Someone you weren’t expecting to get anything from. And you’ll have nothing to give her in return! You could run out to the nearest drugstore and pick up a generic gift card and a candy cane-shaped box of candy to get something super ho-hum right away, or you order this Craft Brew Drinkware Set now, just in case, to have in hand by Tuesday. Libbey Craft Brew Drinkware Set, $20 Here’s what she’ll get.

Whether you’re hosting a Super Bowl party or just going to one because you want to watch the commercials and eat all the snacks, the day won’t be complete without copious amounts of chips and dips. Yes, plural dips. As in, at least two. That’s where this Prodyne Chips & Dip Bowl comes in. It has an oversized bowl for chips (read: vehicles to get dip from bowl to mouth) and two removable dip bowls that attach to the sides. Load them up with tortilla chips, salsa, and guac.

Etsy, our go-to for one-of-a-kind crafts from artisans all over the globe, is not typically on our radar for sales. But this week, the online marketplace changed that. While sellers always have the option to list items at sale prices, Etsy just launched the first-ever site-wide sale. Running now through March 29, the World of Etsy Sales Event features products and sellers in every category.

When we think of online sales we like to watch out for, we typically think of staples like knives or Dutch ovens. Rarely do we think of things like groceries. Today, however, Amazon is having a chocolate sale so good it might be worth getting your sweet tooth fix online. The sale, which is tied to Mother’s Day, runs only for today, Wednesday, May 2. One of the first things we spotted? More than three pounds of M&Ms for just $14.

Both IKEA and Target promise to provide you with everything you could possibly need for your home — including stylish furnishings, cookware, entertaining essentials, and more. And at both, there’s also a budget factor: You know to expect good quality at even better prices. Which store has better prices? We compared 20 everyday items in order to find out. The results: IKEA is consistently cheaper (yes, there are a few exceptions and even a couple of ties!

Fun fact of the day: Sur la Table is currently offering 20 percent off on products across its site (as well as free shipping if you spend $59 or more). The sale applies to just about everything you’d need in the kitchen — like prep tools, cookware, serving pieces, and even the food itself. There’s a lot of stuff to sift through, so we decided to highlight our top picks to give you a head start.

While it’s no secret that we’re big fans of rugs in the kitchen, lots of our readers are a little more on the fence. And we totally get it: Most rugs can’t stand up to the splatters, spills, and foot traffic of a typical home kitchen. If you are super fancy (or just brave), you can throw a one-of-a-kind vintage rug down; for the rest of us, though, something washable, non-slip, and durable is best.

Believe it or not, Etsy is now 13 years old. Which means, if it were a person, it could officially see PG-13 movies and yell things like, “UGH, you just don’t understand.” But because it’s an online marketplace for creators, a 13th birthday just means an excuse to have a sale. The sale, which runs now through June 22, includes more than a million listings across the entire site.

We are big fans of under-cabinet lighting. Because, no matter how good your overhead lights are, you are almost always going to have shadows on your counters. You know, where you’re using sharp knives and actually need to see what you’re doing! While you can easily add simple lighting for $35 or less, we just came across another super-cool option. It’ll cost you a little more (at least it’s currently on sale for Amazon Prime Day!

I just noticed that, now through Sunday (August 5), Sur la Table is giving customers an extra 20 percent off items that are already on clearance. (No promo code needed — the discount automatically gets applied when you add an item to your cart.) Items are already up to 65 percent off and now they’re an additional 20 percent off! I knew it’d be dangerous, but I figured, “Why not take a look?

Fall doesn’t start for another few weeks, but there’s something about Labor Day weekend that convinces us all that summer is officially over. No more weekend trips to the beach, backyard barbecues, or summer Fridays. Instead, you’re cooped up inside and forced to pull your chunky sweaters out of storage. Bummer, right? The silver lining of Labor Day, however, is its abundance of sales.

You know how it’s almost physically impossible to set foot in a Target and buy just one thing? Well, that phenomenon is going to ring even more true now that the store just announced its brand-new home collections for fall. I plan to shop away the end-of-summer blues by redecorating a little bit around my apartment. There’s something about cozy fall weather that makes me want to channel my inner Ina Garten and host a dinner party or casual wine and cheese night with friends.

As if you needed a good reason to go to Target this weekend, there is a super-special, once-a-year deal that you need to know about: On Sunday, December 2, you can save 10 percent on all Target gift cards, bought in stores and online. That’s right — gift cards are on sale! And gift cards, in general, almost never go on sale! A bit of the fine print: You don’t need a coupon or promo code — the discount automatically comes off during checkout.

Vacuums are one of those appliances that can invoke a lot of passion. And few brands invoke quite as much passion as Dyson. The company’s powerful, ergonomic vacuums have legions of devoted fans who credit their clean floors back to them. But to get one, you usually have to shell out upwards of $400 for a new model. Well for today only, you can score this refurbished one on Amazon for $190. The model on sale is a certified refurbished vacuum from the manufacturer.

As soon as there’s even the slightest chill in the air, it’s just basic human nature to get a hankering for roasts. Why? Roasting is best during the fall and winter months, when you don’t mind the heat that leaving your oven on at 350°F for two hours brings to the house. Hearty meals like beef stew and roast chicken with all the trimmings also taste best when it’s a little cold out. So if you’re going to be making a lot of roasts this season (we bet you are!

There’s a lot to love about West Elm — midcentury-modern-style pieces, all that copper, collaborations with artists and local makers — but not everything from the store is a home run, especially when it comes to kitchen items. While we’d all love to have kitchens outfitted with beautiful, stylish pieces, those pieces need to actually be effective (and safe!) to earn a permanent spot in our homes.
