Accell Power Air Surge Protector

Deal price: $29 | Street price: $35
With delayed shipping

Any old power strip will work in a pinch if you need to add a few extra outlets to a room, but it’s important to find one that won’t let harmful power surges fry your electronic devices or start a house fire. For light-duty powering, the Accell Power Air is great for protecting gadgets like phones, tablets, and alarm clocks from surges. It offers two USB ports and six AC outlets in a compact round package that’s smaller than a dinner plate. Its 6-foot cord should also be plenty long for most people.

Electric kettles provide a swift and easy way to heat water without a stove, and the Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp has the extra advantage of allowing you to set a precise temperature—the key for getting the best flavor from coffee and tea. On top of that nice-to-have feature, it won us over with its consistent performance and easy-to-use interface.

Deal price: $150 | Street price: $200
In the Lilla or Nottingham colorway

During our research and testing, the Chicco KeyFit 30 had the best overall safety scores and is easier to install, adjust, carry, and click in and out than other seats that cost much more. It will keep most babies safe and comfortable through their first year and often well beyond. It's also compatible with Chicco strollers and has adapters available for many other popular brands.
