This nifty contraption is a fave of Yahoo staff and readers alike. Says one editor: “I was skeptical at first. After all, I was used to spending a lot of time crafting breakfast sandwiches. But after using this device once, I was hooked. It pristinely cooked every element of the sandwich — even the egg! The ham was smoky and warm, the cheese was perfectly melted and the egg was the ideal level of gooeyness. Plus, my English muffin didn’t get soggy.”

It’s not often on sale, and this is about as low as we’ve ever seen it marked down to (it currently beats Amazon’s price, and you’ll get free shipping with your Circle 360 membership). It makes a fun gift, hint-hint!

In case the idea of applying a snail secretion to your skin has never crossed your mind, take it from a slew of Amazon shoppers — it’s effective! This bestselling serum was purchased by over 80,000 people in the past month alone, thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects. Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while also soothing the skin. Reviewers reported noticing everything from a brighter complexion to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark spots. 

At nearly 50% off, this is the lowest it’s been since September. Check out our Beauty Editor’s full CosRx review for more.

All-time-low price alert! The Fire TV Stick is a great way to add smart functions to a “dumb” TV. It also works if you have a smart TV and you just don’t like the interface. It’s a wild 55% off right now for a limited time. 

“Do not let the fear of technology scare you away from using a Fire Stick!” said a fan. “We had a TV that was not a smart TV, and when we went to streaming, we quit using it. I decided to try the Fire Stick so we could have a TV in the guest room. Took five minutes to set it up. The remote is great too and simple to operate since it is Alexa-enabled or if you don’t like using Alexa, it still is easy to use.”

This versatile skillet ain’t no flash in the pan — it’s been a staple in one Yahoo Life editor’s kitchen for years. Among its many perks are its lightweight, 2-pound design, as well as the removable silicone grip on its handle, which will protect your hands while you cook. 

It’s also dishwasher-safe, but our editor says, “Cleanup is a breeze and only requires a few swipes with a soapy sponge, even around the rivets that secure the handle.” It’s currently down to the best price we’ve seen all year.

Senior Tech Deals Writer Chris McGraw says, “These widely compatible smart plugs work with almost all smart-home services outside of HomeKit (and even that can be configured through IFTTT), but the true selling point is the fact that you get four for just $20. That’s less than $5 per plug — an absolute steal with how useful these little gadgets actually are.”

This is as low as we’ve seen them drop in years, and they make cool stocking stuffers!

Yahoo Gifting Editor Amanda Garrity says, “I know, I know, gloves aren’t exactly the most novel gift idea, but they’re one of those things that we all need to refresh every couple of winters. These fleece-lined favorites are just as practical as they are pretty: One Amazon shopper raved that ‘the fur cuff is perfect and looks expensive,’ while another mentioned that they ‘kept my hands warm during my trip to the northeast and in cold weather.’ The best of both worlds, eh?”

That 66% discount isn’t too shabby, either…
