Electric Candle Lighter
I don’t even like candles but I absolutely love lighting them with this neat tool that is a bit addicting to use. Unlike matches or butane lighters, this tool is great because it doesn’t blow out with wind since it is electric. It is rechargeable and easy to use, with a battery indicator along the body of the lighter. It will automatically power off after 7 seconds of continuous work for safety reasons. The prongs are retractable, making it look clean and simple when not in use. There are many color options to choose from.
Large Collapsible Microwave Cover
No one likes messes in the microwave. This cover is great because it can collapse for easy storage or keep it permanently in the microwave in its expanded state. Bowls and plates fit really well underneath so that you never have to clean the microwave again!
Mug Warmer
I am the worst about finishing my coffee, tea, or any drink before it cools down. This device has been one of my favorites since discovering it. There are three different heat settings and three different mug type (ceramic, glass, and metal) so that you can customize to what you are using. I like this much better than the ember mug which also keeps drinks warm but then you are stuck with the same mug that you have to wash before the next drink. I love being able to switch from coffee to tea in the day by just swapping mugs. The best part of this mug warmer is the safety feature which turns off automatically after 10 minutes if you pick up your mug so that you don’t accidentally leave it on. It also has a time setting so you can set it to turn off after 1-8 hours.
Electric Wine Opener
This is a wrist-saver. Instead of all the twisting and turning to get the wine screw into the cork, the electric wine opener makes it so easy to open a wine bottle with less risk of breaking the cork. Even if you are not a big wine drinker, this is a great tool for your kitchen around the holidays when you are more likely to open a bottle of wine for a dinner you are hosting or friends over. It’s also a great way to impress your friends and family with something fancy yet inexpensive.
I like this set because the wine opener is easy to use with only one button. It also comes with stopper, wine stopper, and a foil cutter making it a complete gift.
Water Boiler & Warmer
For heavy tea drinkers, this appliance is going to be your best friend. I used to think an electric tea kettle was so great because it would heat hot water so fast and then turn off automatically when it was done heating, but what I realized is that it pretty wasteful for a single user. It takes a large amount of electricity to use an electric tea kettle (I know because I blew a fuse in one house with a tea kettle + air fryer running at once and tripped the breaker in two other apartments with the tea kettle alone).
This appliance has a large hot water reservoir and unless you are refilling it, it is already heated for you. Now, I never have to wait to heat water and it has come in really handy when I have needed large amounts of water like when I am making ramen for the family.
