Home necessities like a humidifier, electric kettle, or ice packs aren’t exactly fun to buy, so it’s best to do it while they’re on sale. And lucky you, I found all three for at least 20 percent off on Amazon. But there are some other fun goodies, in case you’re just in it for the little treats.

A cure for stuffy noses and dehydrated skin for $30 (that also isn’t a total eyesore).

Cosori Electric Glass Kettle
$22
$22

Here’s the electric kettle I purchased last May, which has been a lifesaver as a daily tea drinker.

$10 for 4

And at the opposite end of the temperature spectrum, here’s a set of inexpensive ice packs for lunch boxes (and coolers come springtime).

$100

The screen-free Toniebox speaker magnetically pairs with miniature figurines from children’s shows and movies to retell stories, play songs, and engage kids for hours. This Paw Patrol bundle includes the speaker and four figurines (Chase, Skye, and Marshall, as well as Toniebox’s own Playtime Puppy).

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2
$100
$100

Here’s the slightly less advanced (and much cheaper) version of our best earbuds for Samsung users. They share comparable noise-cancellation abilities and water resistance, and are a bit smaller and lighter.

One of the most popular products from Dermstore’s Beauty Refresh Sale is the R+Co thickening shampoo. In addition to the “bombshell volume” it gives hair, “it has a heavenly scent as well,” says salon owner Fred Connors.

Our favorite Supergoop sunscreen absorbs quickly, doesn’t clog pores, and won’t leave a white cast.

Or, get the Glowscreen (and skip your highlighter), which leaves skin with a noticeable shimmery gleam.

Don’t forget to protect your lips, too: Vacation’s new SPF lip gloss is 20 percent off at Nordstrom.

I was shocked to find a Patagonia flannel — that’s still available in several sizes and colors — for under $30 in REI’s clearance bins. Since it’s mid-weight, it’s perfect for unpredictable March temperatures.

And I also spotted this color-blocked hip pack — which is one of our favorite things to buy from the brand — on sale in two patterns.
