Fritaire Air Fryer:

This 9-in-1 air fryer is seriously one of my favorite appliances.

It’s BPA-free, Teflon-free, and PFAS-free, and you can air fry, bake, dehydrate, and more. It even has a tumbling basket for making PERFECT fries and a rotisserie function for meat, chicken, and more.

It comes with an air stand and grabber too, so this has quickly become my go-to appliance.

But the BEST part? The glass bowl is self-cleaning, and the metal accessories are dishwasher-safe. That honestly might be my favorite feature besides the rotisserie.

I also love that I can actually SEE my food while it’s cooking instead of constantly opening it to check.

Gigawatt Coffee Sample Packs:

Gigawatt Coffee is one of my favorite coffee roasters. Their coffee is so flavorful, and I think it’s because they’re one of about 1% of roasters worldwide using fluid bed air roasting.

This means that instead of tumbling in a hot drum, the beans are suspended in a bed of hot air, so nothing scorches against hot metal. The result is a cleaner, smoother cup of coffee that never tastes bitter or burnt. Their sample packs is a great way to try their coffees and find which one is your favorite, it also makes a lovely holiday gift.

Stress-free Squeeze:

Stress-free Squeeze makes a great stocking stuffer! This company was started by two sisters, and the mission was simple: sell handmade and one-of-a-kind squishies.

Unlike mass-produced squishes on the market, all of their squishes in the limited edition section are handmade with food-grade silicone and are one-of-a-kind.

Their team consists of: Weixi (France), who is a mother of an active toddler, the customer-facing half of the shop who handles marketing, trends, and makes sure what they sell actually matches what customers are looking for.

Silvie (Southeast & East Asia), a newlywed who loves traveling, is the sourcing and quality half. They are the one hunting down the best squishes, testing textures and working directly with hand-crafters, makers, and small manufacturers to find products worth putting in their shop.

Every product in their shop has been personally tested, compared, and chosen by them- no dropshipping, no listing something they haven’t touched themselves.

Lotus Card Shuffler V2:

The Lotus Card Shuffler V2 is the world’s quietest and smallest playing card shuffler!

It holds up to two poker-sized decks (104 cards), but can also handle 108-card Canasta and 112-card UNO cards without an issue.

My favorite part? No batteries, no app, no fuss. It’s touch-activated, and it folds up like a clamshell to store your cards when you’re done.

A card shuffler that doesn’t need batteries AND stores your cards? Super clever!
