Gifting season is upon us and, while there’s nothing wrong with a gift card or an unexciting (but safe) pair of socks, they’ll hardly impress. There are so many clever and cheap gifts on Amazon that will genuinely have your friends, family, or coworkers with their jaws on the floor. From meat-cleaving claws that make quick work for any griller to a genius bowl that keeps your cereal from getting soggy, there’s something here for everyone. Here are some of Amazon’s cheapest and most clever gifts that will impress anyone in your life.
A ramen bowl that looks like a ramen cup
You might like to eat your ramen from a real mug but you don’t have to give up the classic look of the disposable ramen package. This ramen bowl embraces that classic design and makes it solid in a washable mug with a handle. It’s large enough to hold two packs of ramen and comes with a ceramic lid. “Bought this for my daughter who is a Ramen enthusiast, lol, and she absolutely loves it,” said one reviewer.
These clever cable ties you will use for everything
These magnetic twist ties are billed as a way to keep cords organized. And they are great at that. They wrap around wires and grab together magnetically to keep them bundled. But they also stick to the fridge to hold a pen or other items there. They can be used as curtain holdbacks, plant ties, and more. Once you have them in hand, you will find a million other uses for them.
This telescoping flashlight that picks things up
Everyone on your list needs this magnetic pickup tool in their life. The telescoping gooseneck handle reaches 22 inches. There is a flashlight on the business end so you can see what you dropped into that dark crevice. And that light is magnetic so it will retrieve that item (as long as it will stick to a magnet.) Even the handle end is magnetic so you can stick it to something and use it as a work light.
The smart way to microwave bacon
Who doesn’t love bacon? Though no one loves cleaning the stove after cooking it. This bacon grill is a game-changer. Just line the bacon strips on the ridged surface and microwave it. As the bacon cooks, the grease drips into the tray below. The bacon comes out perfectly and the grease pours easily into a container for later use. Best yet, the grill goes into the dishwasher.
This vegetable chopper that does all the work
Eliminate the drudgery of meal prep for someone on your gift list by wrapping this vegetable chopper for them. It dices an onion in a few movements, turns an entire cucumber into ribbons in seconds, spiralizes, and more. “I've now bought this several times as a gift because I love it so much,” said one reviewer. “It saves so much time while cooking.”
A cold-brewer in the form of a mason jar

This compact flashlight that doubles as a phone charger
You’ll never know when you’ll need a portable flashlight which is why it’s so great that this one is so small and lightweight. It even has a built-in carabiner so that it can be clipped onto your backpack or waistband. It also features a USB port so that it can be used as a phone charger while on the go.
This neck light that’s like 2 hands-free flashlights
Readers, people who work on cars or are otherwise handy, and crafty types all love this neck reading light that throws two beams of light directly at whatever they need to see. Each beam can be aimed and dimmed separately and you can choose the color of light you prefer.

Instead of dropping bags onto the bag seat or listening as they fly around in the trunk, attach these headrest hooks to the back of the front seats and hook all your bags there. They give you a place in the car for your purse, grocery bags, backpacks, and whatever else you need to transport. They come in lots of colors and this is a pack of four.
This strange foot peel mask
Skip the gift card to the spa. This at-home pedicure — in the form of the strangest foot peel mask ever — will be more fun. It’s easy to use. Just wear the mask-soaked socks for an hour, then shower off the mask and wait. In about two weeks those feet will start peeling. The peeling is so dramatic and bizarre, that many reviewers post photos. It’s a strange journey. But the results, they say, are worth it. It comes in 11 scents. “So awesome and kinda gross/strange at the same time,” said one reviewer.
This wristband that holds your tools
Anyone who works with tools will appreciate this magnetic wristband that holds all the nails, screws, bolts, and small parts right on your wrist so you don’t have to climb down the ladder to grab what you need. “He took it to work super excited to try,” said one reviewer who gave it as a gift. “When he came home, it was still attached.”

Meter out precise doses of olive oil, vinegar, or wine with this all-purpose kitchen mister.

These gym towels that pack small & dry fast
Free up some space in your gym bag or camping kit by switching the towels for this set of three quick-dry towels. They are thin and packable but absorb an enormous amount of water. And they are microfiber so they also dry quickly. The set includes a hand towel, hair towel, and bath sheet, all packed into a mesh bag. It comes in eight colors.
A leather & aluminum mouse pad

Cable clips have become a necessity in modern times. But these cute cable clips elevate this everyday essential to cartoonishly whimsical heights by looking like puffy hands. This is a six-pack and it makes the perfect small gift for anyone.

These rubberized mats are like mousepads for your car. The back side grips the dash to hold items like your phone and sunglasses still even on bump roads. They are easy to install — no adhesive necessary — and solve a universal problem. Waterproof and heat-resistant, you can refresh their grip with a quick rinse.
A document clip for your monitor
Reading a document while typing data into a computer is a (literal) pain in the neck if you keep having to look back and forth. This document clip holds that piece of paper where you can look at it easily — in line with your monitor. It swings out when you need it and back again for storage. It mounts with 3M adhesive.
A great pair of gardening gloves
Everyone who gardens — indoors or out — needs gardening gloves. And these bamboo ones with rubber-reinforced palms are the pair they want. They are stretchy and form-fitting. They breathe so your hands don’t sweat yet they keep your fingers and palms safe from all the sharp and biting things.

Amazon -Going camping, or on long car or plane rides, does not have to include uncomfortable sleep. This camping pillow may be small and packable — squishing into a tiny, waterproof stuff sack (included) — but it expands into the delicious comfort of a memory foam pillow. “I used it on a multi-day camp and my neck felt great in the mornings,” said one reviewer.
A trash can for the car

A cuticle cream with hot spring minerals
This cuticle cream is transformative. A few drops work wonders on dry and cracking skin around the nails, and even promote nail growth.

A ring light for looking better on camera
Anyone who spends any time on camera — taking selfies or videos or participating in video calls — needs this ring light. On camera, good lighting is your friend. And this is the easy way to get it without changing the room. Just clip it over the camera and choose the light, daylight, white, or warm, that looks best. No more harsh shadows or backlighting that makes the camera struggle and refocus.
A better meat thermometer
A good meat thermometer is a kitchen essential but, oddly, few people own one that is reliable and easy to use. This one will remedy that situation. Open the probe, insert it into the food, and the big, digital readout accurately tells you the internet temperature. An internal magnet makes it easy to store on the fridge and a hold button lets you bring the screen to your eyes rather than putting your face close to the heat.
