We combed through to find the best offers on the best products available and found a few items whose deals really stood out from the pack.
1. Wireless earbuds from Beats that’ll keep you going at the gym all winter
With more smartphone companies following Apple’s lead and ditching the headphone jack, wireless headphones are picking up in popularity. One of our favorite pairs of wireless, fitness-ready earbuds in recent years, the Powerbeats 3 from Beats by Dre, are currently at their lowest price ever on Amazon: just $129.99 when you add them to your shopping cart.
We loved the Powerbeats’ impressive wireless range, their long-lasting, quick-charging battery, and the rich, distortion-free sound performance they’re capable of (once you’ve secured a good fit with the buds’ ear hook design). With a proper fit, the Powerbeats will be a reliable companion for both outdoor running and indoor exercise.
As of late, these headphones have typically been listed at around $150 on Amazon, but right now their hidden price is $130. Snag them while they’re discounted!

2. A small essential oil diffuser that actually looks good
If you’ve got a small bedroom, living room, or office in need of some revitalization, this modestly sized essential oil diffuser from Urpower is your new best friend—and it’s only about $24.
As a small humidifier, the Urpower diffuser will elevate your living space from a dry, winter den to a lovely smelling (and lovely feeling) oasis. I recently purchased one of these gadgets for my bedside night stand, and the combination of fragrance, ambient noise, and fresh air has completely rejuvenated my sleep schedule. Plus, its attractive, wood grain coating doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb among the rest of my bedroom decor.
Its relatively small 130mL capacity probably isn’t suited for bigger rooms, but on intermittent mode (30 seconds on, 30 seconds off), a full tank will last 6-7 hours. Simply add a couple drops of your favorite essential oils before running.

3. The only tool you’ll ever need to clean your cast iron pan
We’ve written about the Amagabeli stainless steel chainmail scrubber before, but if you’re late to the party, here’s what you need to know: It’s only $14 and there’s no better way to clean and maintain your favorite cast iron pan.
This swath of chainmail is durable enough to last as long as your pan but built in a way that won’t scratch your pan or lift any of the wonderful seasoning you’ve already built up on its surface. Now that I actually own one, I can’t imagine a cleaning my cast iron pans without it.
Need more convincing? The Amagabeli chainmail scrubber is currently enjoying a 5-star rating on Amazon with over 1,200 satisfied reviewers.

4. The best cutting board I’ve ever used
My love for Epicurean cutting boards is no secret among my friends, family, and coworkers, but in case you’re out of the loop, allow me to sing their praises yet again.
Epicurean cutting boards are somewhere between wood and plastic, but with all of the benefits of the both and without the drawbacks of either. Plastic boards aren’t ideal for keeping your knives sharp, but they can be tossed in a dishwasher. Wooden boards are easier on your blades, but don’t really belong in your dishwasher.
The dense wood fiber of an Epicurean board makes it both knife-friendly and dishwasher safe. Plus, the density of the material makes it a great fit for raw meat, fish, or foods that would otherwise stain wood and plastic cutting boards.
Right now, you can land your own Epicurean board for a cool $35—and that’s for the larger, 17.5-inch-by-13-inch model. And let’s face it—it’s probably about time you got rid of your old, disgusting cutting board anyway.
