During meal prep, it’s often hard to find the right bowl, especially when they’re all in different cabinets.  However, this Bamboozle 7-Piece Nesting Bowls Set keeps everything in one place. In addition to being a space-saving set, it’s made of biodegradable, durable bamboo fiber and is dishwasher safe. It is also available in a 4-piece set, and comes in the pastel colors shown, or in a thistle color option.

After washing all of those germs down the drain, imagine reaching for a nice, warm, soft towel on this Amba Towel Warmer. However, the towel rack does more than just keep towels warm. It also helps them to dry quickly and efficiently, reducing the risk of mold and mildew. And since it’s wall mounted, it’s also a space saving option. However, the towel warmer also comes in a freestanding version (which is what I received and sampled), and in several finishes, including satin brass, brushed nickel, white, matte black, polished nickel, and oil rubbed bronze.

A Time article reveals that your bath towels are much dirtier than you might think, and you probably wash them after two days of use.

When wine is in a box, this helps to keep it fresh, is better for the environment, and eliminates the cost of the bottle. The Boxxle Box Wine Dispenser makes it easy to both store and dispense wine. Made of stainless steel and plastic, this appliance can hold three bags of bag-in-box wines – and fruit juice – and pressing the sprout is all that’s necessary to get a glass of wine from the dispenser. Gone are the days of lifting and squeezing the wine, while trying not to spill it. And the best part is that the wine stays fresh for up to a month and a half from the time of serving the first glass. The dispenser is available in three colors: red, black, and stainless steel

With this Aquasana Clean Water Machine, available in either black or white, the new owners can rest assured that 99% of any lead and asbestos, as well as 96% of chlorine and chloramine, as well as pesticides and VOCs have been removed.

There are picture frames, and then there are picture frames. The Aura Interactive Photo Frame is the latter. For example, if the grandparents moved to Florida and you gave them one of these digital frames, using the Aura Frames app on your phone, you could upload photos of the kids from anywhere in the country – or abroad – and the photos would instantly appear on the grandparent’s digital frame. Even if you have a big family and a lot of friends, you can upload thousands of photos instantly. By swiping the touch bar left or right, they can change photos.

Delivery is quite convenient as the mattress comes in a square box, so there are no concerns about needing two people to navigate through doors and around corners.

A good mattress is essential for a good night’s sleep, but so is a good pillow. The Nest Bedding Adjustable Easy Breather Pillow uses CertiPUR shredded memory foam fill. Instead of telling homeowners how firm their pillows should be, the company’s pillows are delivered overstuffed. For the sample I received to test, I chose to keep all of the filling in the pillow, but it’s a cool perk that it can be upzipped and some of the filling can be removed. The pillow is available in standard, queen, and king sizes.

No trees or ropes are required, since this 15 pound hammock allows one person to either sit or lie in it. The hammock is easy to both carry, setup, and dismantle.

It may be hard for some people to get as much sleep as they need, especially after moving to a new place. However, these SleepPhones Wireless Headphones may help. The company calls them the most comfortable headphones for sleeping, and after sampling some, I tend to agree. They can be worn while laying down on your side or back and can connect to Bluetooth devices 15-30 feet away. SleepPhones are available in a variety of colors, including blue, red, gray, black, and lavender.

According to Mayo Clinic, other ways to get a good night’s sleep include developing a bedtime routine, avoiding caffeine after noon, avoiding smoking, and getting regular exercise.

We’re going to assume your new homeowner has an oven, but whether they do or not, they won’t want to use it. At least, not if they can use this Wolf Gourmet Countertop Convection Oven instead. It includes 6 cooking modes: bake, roast, broil, warm, proof, and toast, and a nonstick interior for easily removing splatters and drips.

If you were in a luxury hotel, you wouldn’t have to worry about cleaning your room. The closest you can get to that at home is the Roborock S5 Max Robot Vacuum and Mop. Whether you have carpet, wood floors or hard floors like tile, the vac is smart enough to clean it for 150 minutes. On wood and hard floors, it can sweep and mop. The robot vacuum can also connect to Alexa device for voice control (if you have a smart speaker) or to your iPhone or Android phone. There are 13 sensors, including 4 cliff sensors to prevent it from falling down the stairs (and since I have 17 steps leading down to my garage, that’s the most important feature to me when I was given a sample to test). Some of the other sensors can detect if the filter is in position and/or if it’s clogged, and whether the water tank is in position. You can also schedule when (and in which rooms) you want it to mop or vacuum, and set virtual barriers.  In addition to black, the robot vacuum and mop duo is also available in white.

One gift that’s sure to generate excitement is a large TV- especially when it’s a smart TV that can access over 5,000 streaming channels like Netflix and Hulu.

You can also program it to clean specific areas more often.

In addition, setting “no go” lines allows you to leave certain items on the floor – like pet bowls – and the vacuum won’t go in that area. Up to three floor plans can be stored, so you can use the robot on multiple levels. Since my home has two levels, that was important to me as I was testing the sample I was sent. The HEPA filter traps dust mites and allergens, and the D-shape design gets into hard to reach places and can clean along baseboards and walls. The vacuum can run up to 120 minutes on a a single charge, and has wi-fi connectivity, so it requires less attention that most people.

Most people wash their glasses in the dishwasher or in the sink. However, fancy-schmancy homeowners might prefer to have this Delta Glass Rinser installed on top of the sink, instead. But it doesn’t just impress visitors – it’s actually functional. It connects to the water supply line just as the kitchen sprayer would, and when glasses of any size (and also cups and baby bottles) are placed on it, powerful water streams remove any residue in a fraction of the time. The glass rinser is available in chrome and also spotshield stainless.

What’s better than a bread box? One that can hold 2 loaves of bread. This extra-large Brabantia Bread Box in brilliant steel is big, yet compact since it has a roll lid and doesn’t take up additional space when opened. And if you don’t need to store two loaves of bread, you can store jellies, jams, and other items in it as well, keeping everything hidden from view (that’s what I do with the sample that I received to review!). In addition to brilliant steel, the bread box is available in clay pink, moss green, yellow, and orange.

Pretty and practical, the OXO BREW Cordless Glass Electric Kettle heats water faster than your microwave. It’s also a safer option than using your stovetop. And as I found out when I tested the sample I received, it looks better than both! The borosilicate glass electric kettle sits on a 360-degree swivel base, and has an LED switch that lights up when the kettle is on – and the kettle automatically shuts off when the water has reached a rolling boil. Also, you don’t have to worry about burning yourself since the kettle has a cool, easy-to-grip non-slip handle, making this a safe and stylish addition to any kitchen.

For people who hate chores and don’t want to keep checking to see if the meat is done, the Meater Plus is a lifesaver. Simply insert the meat probe. Using the MEATER app, select the type of meat (steak, pork chops, etc.), and then select the temperature and doneness level, and the app will estimate your cook time and keep track of the meat’s progress. Since I’m in the group that hates chores, I was glad to discover, when testing the sample I received, that it’s possible to view this information over Bluetooth using a phone or tablet. Since the thermometer is cordless, it can be used for either indoor or outdoor cooking to ensure your meat is cooked to perfection. 

You might wonder why temperature control is important. Food safety experts say you need to cook meat to kill harmful organisms.

For people who love soft drinks, it can hard to drink enough water – even when you’re at home all day. However, this DrinkMate Carbonated Water Kit can create sparkling, fizzy water, making it taste much better. But that’s not all. As someone who drinks water like it’s medicine – meaning I only drink it because I have to – I was delighted when I received my sample and learned that the DrinkMate can also carbonate juices and lemonade, in addition to flat soda, beer and other beverages. The kit includes the Drinkmate machine and a 60L CO2 cylinder. It’s available in red, white, and matte black.

The Revolution Cooking Smart Toaster can make life so much easier. It uses smart sensors to adjust both the time and temperature to ensure the bread browns consistently – and also much quicker than a traditional toaster. The toaster has 7 browning levels to choose from, and it also lets you select the bread type: bagels, toast, English muffins, toaster pastries, and waffles. There are also 3 toasting modes; fresh, frozen, and reheat. All of these features combine to ensure that you never have to worry about burning the toast or having to retoast the bread. Another feature that I noticed when testing the toaster that I received is that the machine’s auto glide lowers and lifts the toast, so the bread won’t get stuck in the toaster.

Avoid scrubbing baked-on foods with this 6-piece Calphalon Premier Countertop Safe Bakeware Set. In addition to nonstick properties, one feature I observed when testing the sample I was sent: the bakeware is also designed to be taken right out of the oven and placed on the countertop. That’s because of the heat-resistant, no-slip silicone feet on the bottom of each bakeware piece. The set includes a large cookie sheet, 12-cup muffin pan, 8” square cake pan, 9” round cake pan, 9” x 13” brownie pan, and 5” x 10” large loaf pan. All of the items heat consistently and are oven safe up to 450 degrees.

Anyone who hates ironing clothes will enjoy this CHI Steam Collapsible Hanging Garment Steamer. Hang it on the back of a door or on a shower rod, place the clothes in the garment bag, fill the water reservoir, and simply press the power button to release the steam. In less than 2 minutes, you can steam a lightweight blouse or shirt; a suit jacket, sweater, or pair of pants will take 2 to 3 minutes to steam, and tablecloths require 3 to 5 minutes to knock out the wrinkles. As I was reviewing the unit I was sent, I was concerned with what to do with the bag when not in use. However, the garment bag is collapsible for easy storage.

For people who don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, prep time is a breeze with this All-Clad Cordless Immersion Blender. With the touch of a button, the 5-speed blender is so powerful that it only takes a few seconds to blend, mix, chop, or puree. The blender is not only quick – it is also deep, and using the nonslip handle, you can reach deep into bowls, pots, and pitchers for thorough mixing.

The blender has a safety lock, and for cleaning and storage, the shaft can detach quickly and easily, and when testing the unit that I received, quick and easy were the two factors that impressed me the most.
