It’s that time of year again- Amazon Prime Day has arrived!
Amazon Prime Day is the perfect time to purchase appliances or fun items you’ve had your eye on at great prices. This year, I’ve rounded up my top picks for cooking gadgets and other enjoyable things to make your life easier and more exciting!
10. Instant Pot
Instant Pots are one of the most convenient kitchen gadgets you’ll ever use! You can make all sorts of different meals in an Instant Pot: risotto, mac and cheese, egg salad, even delicious one-pot spaghetti meals! It’s a quick, easy, and painless way of making a delicious meal for a couple or even a family.
9. Exploding Kittens
If you haven’t played Exploding Kittens, I highly recommend it! It’s one of the most fun, silly card games on the market. There’s even a NSFW version if you plan on playing with adults only.
8. Nespresso Vertuo Next
If you’re looking for an affordable espresso maker that doesn’t take up a lot of room, the Nespresso Vertuo Next is a fantastic choice.
Unlike original Nespresso machines, the Nespresso Vertuo offers a wider range of coffee sizes. This means you’re not only limited to espresso beverages; you can also brew enough coffee for a full cup.
Even better, the Vertuo Next is the smallest of all the Vertuo machines. This makes it a perfect choice for coffee enthusiasts without a lot of kitchen space.
7. Amazon Fire TV Stick
Are you late hopping on the Smart TV trend? That’s okay- so am I!
While my living room TV has built-in WiFi and streaming applications, every other TV in my house does not. Instead of upgrading the rest of our TVs (which would be expensive), I outfitted them with Amazon Fire TV Sticks.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick connects to your TV through an HDMI port. It connects to WiFi and gives you full access to every streaming application, allowing you to watch as much Netflix, Hulu, or HBO Max as you desire!
Plus, it’s 4K, which means it will stream all of your shows in picture-perfect resolution.
6. Govee LED Strip Lights
If you’re looking to give your house a little more personality, these wireless-enabled LED Strip Lights are perfect for you!
Controlled via app or remote, you can set up these lights underneath your bed, kitchen cabinets, or desk to give the room some extra flair. Even better, you can control them via Alexa or Google Assistant!
5. Goodful Cold Brew Maker
Are you a fan of cold brew, but tired of spending $5 at Starbucks every day?
Good news- now you can make cold brew at home with this handy cold brew maker! This device is easy to use and easy to clean. It’s also leak-proof, so if you need to store it your fridge horizontally, it won’t leak.
4. Western Digital 5TB Portable Hard Drive
Data security is a must in the digital age! Whether you’re a photographer, videographer, programmer, or simply looking to back up your data, an external hard drive is a must. You can also use external hard drives to add more storage to your laptop, PC, or even a video game console.
Western Digital hard drives are my personal favorite. They’re reliable and easy to use; plus, they’re well priced for the quality of product.
3. Neewer Ring Light
Ring lights are a useful tool to help create well-lit photographs indoors. They’re mobile and adjustable, allowing you to control the direction and angle of the light. You can also adjust the intensity by dimming or raising the lights.
If you’re a blogger, hairstylist, or amateur photographer, ring lights are handy to produce professional-looking content on a budget!
2. Krups Electric Grinder
Let’s face it- buying pre-ground coffee can be frustrating! Not only is it more expensive than purchasing whole coffee beans, if you don’t drink a lot of coffee, your grounds will become stale quickly.
Instead, I like to purchase whole coffee beans and grind them at home using this coffee grinder! Not only does it save me some money, it also ensures that my coffee stays fresh and flavorful.
1. Air Fryer
It took me years to cave and finally purchase an air fryer, but I’m so glad I did!
Air fryers are a fast and simple way to cook a vast assortment of meals. Since you’re not using oil, air fried foods are lower in calories and fat than traditionally fried foods. This makes them a great choice for someone trying to lose or maintain their weight.
While I don’t own this exact air fryer, I know 3 families who do. All 3 gave it rave reviews. I’ve personally tried a few meals from it, and it’s definitely the gold standard of air fryers!
