Deal price: $27 | Street price: $40
Use code BODUM_10

Longtime senior staff writer Lesley Stockton swears by these insulated glasses. Stylish and double-walled, these simple tumblers are made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass that will keep your beverage at its desired temperature—hot or cold. Plus, they’re dishwasher-, microwave-, oven-, and freezer-safe.

Weleda Skin Food (2.5 Ounce)

Perfect for dry or sensitive skin, Weleda Skin Food includes ingredients like viola tricolor, calendula, and chamomile extract to help soothe your face and body without any parabens, phthalates, preservatives, or animal testing. Whether you’re looking for dewy cheekbones or to combat lizard skin during tough winter months, this thick, long-lasting formula is a staff favorite.

Tombow Dual Brush Pens

Deal price: $12 | Street price: $15

A pick from one of our kid’s gift guides, we used to recommend these colorful markers for practicing cursive, but they’re still great for regular coloring and writing activities. This pack includes 10 double-sided markers in a variety of vibrant primary colors.

Adonit Mark Stylus

Deal price: $7 | Street price: $10

Though this stylus is less advanced than our other picks, it’s still a sleek and comfortable option that our experts cite as a must-have cheap stylus for simple note-taking and sketching. It offers a pleasant anodized finish, even weight distribution, and a smoother writing experience than the competition. We also recommend it in our guide to Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite accessories. This deal is available in silver.

Eufy Smart Scale P1

Deal price: $30 | Street price: $36

Although they’re less reliable than a regular bathroom scale, a smart scale is your best option to track weight and other biometric data. The P1 is nearly as accurate as our top pick but doesn’t cost quite as much—striking a nice balance between quality and affordability. It also offers the most user-friendly app we tested, but it uses Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi, so you’ll have to keep your phone nearby in order to use it.
