Whether it’s to block out noisy neighbors, housemates, or the world in general, good noise-cancelling headphones are one of the best tools you can use. But if you’re not up for dropping $300 on a pair of Bose, these budget Anker headphones deliver excellent noise-cancellation and solid sound quality. They’re lightweight, have a 30-hour battery life that’s impressive for any price range, and can also be used in wired mode (which is great for planes). We’ve only seen them for $2 cheaper during big deals events, so they’re definitely worth picking up now.

Use code XGIMIWC420

If your idea of a cozy weekend involves sitting outdoors by a fire but not shunning all technology, the Xgimi portable projector helps you get the best of both worlds. This tiny projector lets you watch movies and shows from most streaming platforms anywhere you want. The internal battery lasts about two hours, making it a solid option for outdoor adventures, but there’s nothing stopping you from using it to watch Disney+ while lounging in the bath.

When your idea of cozy includes cookies and assorted baked goods but you aren’t aiming to make a full batch, a toaster oven is the answer. Cuisinart’s Chef’s Convection Toaster Oven is the best large toaster oven we’ve tested. It has nearly all of the capabilities of a full-size oven, comes with impressive accessories, and an outstanding three-year warranty. Plus, if you want to use this oven as an air fryer, the Cuisinart also has two convection speeds (because air fryers are really just small convection ovens with better branding).

Not wanting to see anyone during your relaxing weekend? A video doorbell is a great way to get notified about deliveries without having to answer to anyone else. If you don't have existing doorbell wiring but you're still interested in a doorbell cam, we recommend the battery-powered Eufy Security Video Doorbell 2K. Throughout testing, it offered bright 2K images, clear two-way audio, and a strong battery that should last around four months.

A good thermometer will take your temperature accurately. A great one will do so quickly, display it in an easy-to-read format, and give you some peace of mind.

An air quality monitor gives you measurements of what's currently in the air. It won't fix poor quality, but could reveal pollution patterns that you might otherwise not know about.
