We’re halfway through February (already? somehow?) and although it may still be cold outside, the long weekend is a good time to start looking ahead to springtime. Refresh, recharage, and reorganize—all springy vibes. And what better time to do all those things and get a discount on everything you need to do them than during the President’s Day Amazon Sale?

16 Easy One-Pot Dinners Perfect for Busy Weeknights

by Emily MyersNovember 4, 2023

One-pot meals come together easily and are ideal for quick family meals

Quick and delicious weeknight dinners plus easy cleanup? Yes, please. The fewer dishes to clean during the week, the better—which is why easy one-pot meals really hit the spot. Below, we’ve rounded up some amazing one-pot dinners that come together quickly, and our list includes everything from one-pot pasta recipes to stir-fries and soups. Get ready to break out your Dutch oven or your Instant Pots!

One-Pot Baked Potato Soup

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Catalina Castravet | SweetAndSavoryMeals.com (@sweetnsavorymeals)

When it comes to one-pot meals, soup is a classic (and a kid favorite). This potato soup from Sweet and Savory Meals has all the good things like bacon, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Even better, it can be made in an Instant Pot. If you’d rather take your time, check out her slow cooker version here.

Easy One-Pot Baked Chicken and Rice Pilaf

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Erin | The Wooden Skillet (@thewoodenskillet)

Juicy chicken thighs and tasty rice come together in this easy one-pot meal that’s perfect for a Sunday dinner. Get the recipe from The Wooden Skillet.

One-Pan Pork Chops with Apples and Onions

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Chunky Chef (@the_chunky_chef)

This one-pan pork chop recipe from The Chunky Chef is lighter and healthier than a lot of pork chop recipes out there, and it doesn’t skimp on flavor. Even better, it comes together in 30 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight meal idea.

Beef Stir Fry

You can’t go wrong with a lightning-fast stir fry, and this version from Spend with Pennies is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Everything cooks together in one pan, you can adapt ingredients depending on your family's preferences, and the flavorful soy-based sauce is light but delicious.

Greek Dutch Oven Roast Chicken

dutch oven roast chicken one-pot dinner recipe — The Greek Foodie

Sunday dinner just got even better thanks to this drool-worthy recipe from The Greek Foodie A whole roast chicken might sound like a daunting project, but it’s an easy one-pot meal to pull together. Plus, since there are potatoes at the bottom of the pot to catch all the chicken juices, you don’t need to worry about making separate sides.

Chicken Parmesan Pasta

We’re always craving chicken parmesan, but it’s a ton of work to make the traditional version with breaded cutlets. That’s why we love this recipe from Erin Lives Whole—you get all those delicious flavors with a fraction of the effort.

Veggie Pasta One Pot Wonder

This veggie pasta recipe is an easy one pot meal — Apron Strings

It makes sense that if you cook pasta in water, you can switch out the water for stock, add chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic, and spices and the pasta will cook just as well with the bonus of a self-made sauce. That's what's going in this super simple veggie pasta dish featured in our archives. Garnish with grated cheese, and dinner's done.

Crock Pot Sweet Pork

If you don't have a Crock Pot, this sweet pork recipe from our archives might be the incentive you need to get one. With three simple ingredients in one pot, it works great when you've been raced off your feet and want an easy dinner option. Plus, it makes great leftovers. Serve with salsa and salad, and you're done.

Skillet Steak and Potatoes

Steak and potatoes are a staple almost everyone (even picky eaters) will like, and this version from Carlsbad Cravings comes together in just 30 minutes. Plus, the garlic herb butter gives it something special. Serve with your kids' favorite veggies and you'll have a hearty and easy one-pot dinner.

Mexican Chicken and Rice

Here's an easy one-pot dinner you can make with pantry staples. The dish from Well Plated uses canned black beans, canned diced tomatoes, and brown rice. You'll also need some fresh veggies, but the recipe is super versatile so use what you have. Skip the jalapeño if that's too much for the little ones, and top with shredded cheese, avocado, salsa, and sour cream for a perfect weeknight dinner.

Lemony Greek Chicken

A dish of braised chicken thighs that takes little effort and includes sautéed onions and potatoes must be one of the best ways to end a long day. The only fiddly bit is flipping the meat when you sear it at the beginning, the rest is easy as pie. The recipe from Boulder Locavore has a Greek twist with feta and olives but you can always switch out the olives for raisins if you think the kids will prefer a sweeter taste.

Baked Risotto

Risotto doesn't have to mean you are tied to a hot stove while the kids chant about how hungry they are. With baked risotto, you can do 10 minutes of prep and get the same big pot of comforting gooey rice for dinner with less than half the effort. Head over to My Little Larder for this recipe where you just have to check and stir every ten to fifteen minutes. Open to lots of variations, just serve with some grated cheese and you've got an easy one-pot family dinner.

Quick One Pot Beef Stew

It's hard to beat a hearty and comforting beef stew and this dish from NerdyMamma is a real crowd-pleaser. The ground beef is browned with fresh or canned veggies and mixed with tomato sauce for a quick weekday dinner in one pot. Head to NerdyMamma for the recipe and serve with crackers or cornbread.

One-Pot Coconut Chicken and Rice

A simple recipe bursting with flavor makes for one delicious dish, courtesy of Emily over at One Lovely Life. In under 30 minutes, you'll have a chicken and rice dish your family will be begging you to make at least once a week.

One-Pot Creamy Garlic Chicken

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Jen (@carlsbadcravings)

Cream, garlic, and chicken all come together in this savory and easy one-pot meal that’s guaranteed to delight everyone in your home. If you’ve got kids who don’t love sauce, set aside a piece of chicken and serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Get the recipe from Carlsbad Cravings.

30-Minute Shrimp, Peas, and Rice

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Gina Homolka – Healthy Recipes (@skinnytaste)

A 30-minute easy-one pot meal that requires zero chopping, tastes great, and can be doubled for larger families? Yes, please! This shrimp meal from Skinny Taste will be an immediate favorite.

Shop Amazon Prime Day 2023: We Did All the Hard Work for You!

by Kate CartiaOctober 1, 2023

Move over, Black Friday. Amazon Prime Day is happening.

Yes, okay, Amazon Prime Day also happened this past summer. But, the Amazon gods have smiled upon us once again, and the Fall 2023 version is happening this month. October 10-11, Amazon will have deep discounts, promos, and major savings that we won’t see again until…well, the next Prime Day. Probably. Let’s just say these are huge deals and you just don’t want to miss them. Whether you’re still recovering from summer vacation, back-to-school shopping, or just preparing for the upcoming holiday season, there are bargains to be had for every shopper. Of course, we wouldn’t expect any less from Amazon.

The deals aren’t limited to one or two departments, either. Housewares, fashion, beauty, kitchen—there are discounts on products you probably haven’t even realized you needed or wanted. So we’ve gone ahead and rounded up some of the best of the best savings we’ve seen so far, and we’ll be spending our time monitoring and updating with more Amazon Prime Day deals. That’s one of the best parts about Prime Day; they start discounting early. We’ll also be keeping an eye on their famous Lightning Deals. You’ll definitely want to go ahead and bookmark your place here, because our goal for the next week and a half is to keep you saving money (which means we’ll be living on Amazon for you). It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. Keep reading for the best of the best deals, and keep checking back. We’ll be here all week, folks!

Your Ultimate Guide to Prime Day 2023—Early Savings, Upcoming Deals, & Regular Updates

by Kate CartiaJuly 6, 2023

Amazon Prime Day is like Christmas in July

We’ve been waiting all year for this. Amazon Prime Day 2023 is July 11-12. It’s a big deal. Actually, lots of big deals. There are ridiculously good savings to be had when you shop, and even the days leading up to it include major sales drops courtesy of the Big A. Amazon is not playing around this year, either. And we get it—you’re being bombarded with emails and posts and splash pages. Overwhelming, to say the least. We know how hard it is to keep up with it all. We’re here to make it all much easier to get what you want, when you want it (and when it’s available).

This is a mega guide to Amazon Prime Day. We’ve made sure to divide it up by category, and our shopping editor will be updating this post as new deals drop. Make sure to bookmark this one, folks. These Prime Day deals start early and run though the 12th, so you’re sure to find something (or several somethings) that you’ve had on your list. If you’ve been waiting until “the right time”, here’s your sign. This is it.

Camping Gear That Does Everything (Except Pitch the Tent)

by Kate LowethJune 1, 2023

It’s always the perfect time of year for outdoor adventure. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or a week-long camping trip, we’ve got the scoop on the best camping gear for families from our editors who love outdoor adventures. From special tents and baby beds to accommodate the youngest campers to green products that keep your ecological footprint to a minimum, this list has it all. Get ready to roast up some s’mores in the great outdoors.

The Best Tents, Cots & Sleeping Bags for Families

Tents:
Whether you are looking for a car camping tent that will fit a big family or a tent that's perfect for your first backpacking trip, we've got the list for you. Check out all of our family tent recs here.

Cots and Mattresses:
If sleeping on the ground is not your jam, bring along a foldable cot. You'll feel a lot warmer without the cold ground sucking out all your body heat and you won't wake up with an arm that has totally fallen asleep. We love the easy setup of this Stoic Adjustable Cot and you can pop up the head for reading in bed. Bonus: It's actually quite comfortable!

Those looking for extra comfort with portable ease should try out the Foamy Mattress from Hest. We tested it and give it our highest sleep rating which is pretty impressive for a camping mattress. The Foamy Wide is especially good if you think you might have a small camper join you on your mattress during the night. Want to lock two mattresses together to keep them from moving around during the night? Both mattresses have clips that will do just that. Add on the Hest Pillow and you'll be in dreamland in a flash.

Sleeping Bags:
For sleeping bags, you want to know a few things: weight, size, and temperature rating. Those sleepover bags aren't going to cut it when you are out in the woods so make sure you invest in a good sleeping bag. We like the SJK Youth Middle Fork for summer and fall camping and the SJK Kit 40 for summer camping. If you are looking for a mummy-style bag for colder nights, the SJK Ronin is rated to zero degrees and is super comfortable. It has a dual zipper so you can open either side to cool off during the night.

Gear for When You Take Babies & Toddlers Camping

Don't write off camping with little ones, the fresh air can have a magical effect. Here are some of our favorite gear to bring when camping with a baby or toddler:

Your big kids love snuggling in their mummy bags, but your tot needs a special spot when it comes to tent sleeping. We’re crushing hard on KidCo’s PeaPod Travel Bed, an easy pop-up that functions as a tent within your tent, so your little one has his own space. It collapses flat and pops up with ease, which is entertainment in and of itself for wee ones. And if they think that’s amazing, just wait until they crawl in and curl up at the end of a long day of outdoor adventuring. They’ll sleep like a cozied up log!
Because wrangling a toddler around the campfire during mealtime isn’t on your camping to-do list, pack the Summer portable high chair with the rest of your must-take gear. Just like mom and dad’s camping chairs, this high chair easily unfolds and gives baby a spot to sit.

The Best Seating & Tables for Around the Campfire

The highlight of a family camping adventure is the nightly campfire. Here are some of our favorite chairs for your crew:

Chairs:

Cascade Mountain Tech Hammock Chair: This will be the most fought-over chair around the campfire this summer, we guarantee it. It has a nice, high back for comfort and a caddy for your drink. Bonus: it folds up super small so that it doesn't take up much room in your trunk.
REI Co-op Outward Low Padded Lawn Chair: We love this chair for around the campfire or for a day at the beach. It's super easy to cart around as it has backpack straps so you can use your hands to carry other gear. Warning: The kids are likely to snag it for themselves as the padded seat is way comfier than what you are used to in an outdoor chair.
We love the Kelty Low Loveseat Chair because it is perfect for snuggling the kids around the campfire. The height is low enough that you can use it at outdoor movie nights and concerts, but high enough that you don't feel like you are sitting on the ground. The low height also makes it easy for kids to climb up. The mesh seat version is great for bringing down to sit in the creek and watch the kids skip rocks.
As parents, we love the Kijaro Rok-It because it offers one feature that other camp chairs don't have, the ability to rock back and forth! This portable rocker folds down and can easily fit into the carry bag making it easy to store with your other camping gear. The chair also has padded armrests and a flip-out cupholder.

Tables:

Duluth Trading Pack A Long Camp Table: No need to balance that plate of campfire burgers on your lap while eating around the campfire. This lightweight but sturdy packable table is the perfect option to bring along on your next outdoor outing. The small size means you can keep it in the back of your minivan for impromptu stops at the park or Little League games.

All the Cooking Gear That You Need for Camping

camping stove from Coleman for family camping gear — Coleman

You'll want to be able to cook up some scrambled eggs and bacon in the mornings. These cooking options are easy to use and easy to pack up:

This Camp Chef Explorer Double Burner Stove is the workhorse you need when you're cooking for a crowd. The legs come off so you can store them in the carry bag. It attaches to a refillable propane tank so you don't have to waste those green bottles.
If you don't want something quite so big, go for a Coleman 2-Burner Stove that packs up into a small carrying case for easy transport.
A good piece of cast iron cookware goes a long way and this cast iron skillet is one of our favorites for bacon and eggs or Dutch babies. If you really want to up your camping game, snag the Poler Cast Iron Dutch Oven and whip up a Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Your little campers will be asking for it over and over, we know it.

Cook Sets & Tablewear That Are Perfect for Family Camping

While it might seem easy to go for paper plates while you are camping, push yourself to go green and invest in a cook set that you can wash and reuse.

The ECO 5-Piece Mess Kit from UCO Gear is the perfect way to get your family started on reusable dinnerware for camping. The bowl and plate lock together so you can bring a meal on the go and the whole thing is easy to wash and hang dry for your next meal. Kids will love the "Switch Spork", we know it.
Stanley Adventure Full Kitchen Base Camp Cook Set: With all the tools needed to prep, cook, serve and clean up, this Cook Set is ideal for both outdoor + everyday indoor use. There are enough place settings for a family of four and it is sturdy enough to be a part of your camping gear for years to come.
Stanley Adventure Even-Heat Camp Pro Cook Set: if you are looking to cook for a crowd (or at least a few hungry tweens), this one's for you. We love this cookware set that features a superior 3-ply stainless steel construction, so food heats more evenly. It also packs up small so you don't have to waste any space in the back of the minivan.
Stanley Classic Stay Hot French Press: Skip the plastic or glass French press options and go for this heavy-duty French press that's big enough for your whole crew to get appropriately caffeinated. Vacuum insulation keeps your coffee piping hot until the moment you’re ready to pour. It's built rugged for the outdoors so you don't have to worry about breakage when you pack it up to head home.

Campsite Gear That Families Love

Make your life easier and add these items to your camping list.

The lightweight, packable hammocks from Coalatree are perfect for any outdoor enthusiast to take on their adventures, be it backpacking through the deep woods, a lazy afternoon at the local park, or a sunny day at the beach. It packs into itself so you're always ready for adventure. Two ropes are included
with carabiners making it easy to secure your hammock anywhere and the price can't be beat.
The Poler Campforter Puffy Blanket is a great addition to your camping gear list as you can tuck it into a sleeping bag for some extra coziness or it also has a slit for your head if you want to bundle up by the campfire.
The Grove Co. is all about making camping easier. You can pick up their Clean Camping Kit and The Cookout Cleanup Set when you have a camping trip on the calendar and they will set you up for success. Full of environment-friendly items like 100% recycled trash bags and reusable sandwich bags, you'll know that you're on the right track to leave no trace. We also love their Hand Soap Sheets to bring along to the camp bathroom.
Rainleaf Microfiber Towel: Let’s be honest, camping is a dirty business. Between the campfire, wooded trails, and your kiddo’s seemingly innate ability to find dirt anywhere, it’s hard to avoid the mess. That’s why we’re crushing on this easily packable microfiber towel you can throw in your pocket, clip to your daypack or keep tucked in your tent. Dirty faces and hands—be gone!
CGear Original Sand-Free Mat: Keeping the dirt out of your tent is a major issue when you are camping, especially when you have kids going in and out all the time. We like to set up the CGear Original Sand-Free Mat outside the tent door where it serves as a spot to take off your shoes before your head inside. The mat has corner D-rings so that you can secure it to the ground with tent pegs. Plus, it's basically invincible—sand and dirt don't stick, and it is water-resistant and UV-treated to prevent fading.
Tarpestry: The best-looking tarp you'll ever own, Tarpestry ups your campsite game whether you use it as a tablecloth over a picnic table (full size) or as a tarp outside your tent (mini). You can also have it as backup protection from the weather that just might sneak up on you. When you aren't camping, keep your Tarpestry in your car for impromptu picnics or beach days.

Headlamps, Lanterns & Flashlights for Kids

You won't believe how dark it can get in the woods so you'll want to be decked out with both headlamps and lanterns. Here are some of our favorites:

Take our word for it and get yourself some rechargeable lighting for your campsite. This Nightlight Bundle from BioLite is our fave as it comes with two AlpenGlow lanterns that can charge up and change colors, two SiteLight String lights that are perfect for hanging in your tent, and a 10,000 mAh battery to keep the lights on even longer.
Third Eye Headlamps are perfect for camping with kids—not only because of their fun designs but also because they have everything you need (six light settings including red so you don't ruin night vision) and are environmentally sound (members of 1% for the planet, recyclable, etc.). They also come with the best warranty in town—no questions asked—in case your kid breaks it. The colorful headbands mean that each family member can get his/her own design (so there's no fighting, yay!).
The LuminAID Max 2-in-1 Phone Charger is a solar inflatable lantern and phone charger that packs flat for easy carrying and charging on the go. It's the ideal all-purpose solar device to light up your campsite, family tent, or provide backup power to your devices when you need it most. On low mode, you'll get the perfect amount of ambient light to get the kids to sleep, and it can go all night if you need it.

Backpacks, Hydration Packs & Carriers for Families

Whether you are looking to carry a kid, some water, or your gear, we've got some great options for you.

If you are going to do any hiking with your kids, you'll want to invest in hydration backpacks (for you and for them). We love the crossbody fit of the 6L Run Sling from Nathan. It is a comfortable size for both kids and adults and is a great way to get your kids hiking farther distances as they can store their own snacks inside.
Redwing 36 from Kelty: This reliable pack from Kelty just got an upgrade and we are loving it. This super lightweight pack (2 lbs. 9 oz.) is perfect for your day out in nature. It's roomy enough to carry the gear for the whole family and it lets you stash your Nalgene bottle and personal items within reach. Adding your hydration bladder lets you get out for longer trips and the AMP-Flow ventilated back panel keeps you cool.
Journey PerfectFIT™ Elite Child Carrier from Kelty: A well-fitting child carrier is invaluable for parents who want to get out in nature with their little ones. The child carrier from Kelty offers everything you could possibly need like extra compartments for bottles and diapers. Little ones sit high in this carrier offering them better views of the world (instead of just the back of dad's head). It is designed for kids 16-40 pounds and you can even add your hydration pack. We especially love the two side pockets that make it easy to access your water bottle and cell phone while on your hike.
Wet Bags from Bumkins: We love to bring these along with us on a campout or beach day because you can take those muddy/wet kid clothes and pack them away from the rest of your clothes. Also great for transporting water shoes, swimsuits, and baby clothes post-blowout. You will thank us later.

First Aid & Safety Gear for Family Camping

Give yourself some peace of mind and get all these essentials ready for your next camping adventure. While Duck Tape is definitely worthwhile to pack in your camping gear, these first aid and emergency supplies will make you feel more secure when you head out into nature.

If you're one of those "plan for every emergency" type of people, you'll definitely want to add this Portable Power Station from Shell to your camping gear box. It can power up things like cellphones and laptops, and will give you peace of mind to know that even when you are off-grid that your family is safe. Bonus: it's great to have at home for when the power goes out.
X-TALKER T71VP3 TWO-WAY RADIO: This walkie talkie makes communicating with your camping crew easy and reliable when cellphone service isn’t. With its long battery life, rapid recharge, water resistance, and NOAA weather radio alerts, campers can feel confident that they’ll be able to communicate despite distance and separation.
ER40 EMERGENCY CRANK RADIO: This emergency crank NOAA Weather Radio is sure to keep you informed in case of a weather-related emergency while camping. Fit with a flashlight that has SOS Strobe, the ER40 can alert others if you need help during an emergency. It has multiple sources of power including a lithium rechargeable battery, solar panel, and hand crank- keeping you alert while off the grid.
We love everything about the Signature GoKit from KEEP>GOING First Aid. Think cute patterned bandages, antiseptic wipes, safety pins, and anything else you'd need when going on a hike or camping with your family. The small size means you can easily keep it in your car or backpack.
Duluth Best Made Small First Aid Kit: Take our word for it, you don't really know what first aid supplies you need until you really need them. The experts at Duluth know what it's like in the great outdoors and they've sourced all the items that you might need for a campfire emergency or hiking blister.
If you really want to make sure your family is protected, go for My Medic's IFAK. It has everything you need to deal with bleeding, burns, broken bones, sprains and more. It will give you the peace of mind you need to head out into the woods.
Leatherman Signal: Just trust us and don't leave home without your Leatherman Signal. Whether you need to mend a broken sleeping bag zipper or start a fire when you've left the matches at home, your Leatherman has you covered. It will do pretty much anything you need when camping, minus making the early morning pot of coffee.
Welly Bandages: There's nothing that can dry up those ouchie tears like a snazzy new Welly bandage. Their Bravery Bandages come in cute-for-kids styles like tie-dye and space and the handy tins are something you can always use.

Hiking Boots for Kids

You'll want to make sure everyone is protected and comfortable when you head out on your camping adventure. Northside offers all-season hiking boots that are waterproof and reasonably priced. Get the kids outfitted in the Rampart Waterproof Hiking Boot or the Monroe Low Junior Hiking Boot that has a sneaker-like fit. Made with kids in mind, it's an extremely durable, lightweight, and comfortable shoe that makes longer hikes a breeze.

Check out the full list of our favorite hiking boots for kids here.

Fun Additions to Your Camping Bag

Sometimes all it takes to make your camping trip one to remember is a fun new gadget to bring along. These are some of the ones that we love:

We love these binoculars from Nocs because they are ultra-durable and perfect for kid hands. Not much adjustment is needed to get these going and they are waterproof (yay!) and fog-proof (yay!). Easily packable in your day pack, or keep them in your car for viewing on the go, their portable size means they can join in all your family adventures. Be sure to snag a tapestry strap to go along with your Nocs.
Whether you are looking to up your camping game or give the kids some chill-out time before they hit the sack, CINEMOOD is the ultra-portable option for your next outdoor movie night. Set up a sheet on the side of your tent or project it onto the side of an RV. Choose from a huge CINEMOOD digital library that includes 40 Disney e-books and 25 safety videos and stories. You can also download Netflix or Amazon Prime videos directly on CINEMOOD to enjoy anywhere, without WiFI or an Internet connection. Get one here,

Pasta Jambalaya

by writerredtriApril 3, 2023

Getting kids to eat their veggies may be a challenge, but it’s not impossible. The trick, according to recipe creator Leah Singer of Leah’s Thoughts is simple: add a veggie puree to your dish. This recipe for jambalaya also swaps the traditional rice for pasta, making it extra hearty.

Ingredients for Pasta Jambalaya Recipe:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
1 kielbasa sausage, sliced
2 cups of shrimp (we use frozen)
1 chopped onion
1 – 2 teaspoons of garlic
2 cans diced tomatoes (undrained)
Pinch of chili flakes
Cajon/Creole seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound penne pasta (or whatever you have around)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup carrot, spinach, or other veggie puree (optional)

Method
1. Saute the kielbasa with olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Remove sausage from the pan and replace with chicken. Do not empty the oil–it gives the chicken great flavor. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet.

2. Add a bit more olive oil and add onion and garlic. Saute until cooked through. (If you’re a fan of peppers, you could add chunks of peppers at this point.) Add cans of diced tomatoes, spices, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add back into the pot the chicken and sausage. If you’re adding a hidden veggie, do it now!

3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain, and add to the meat and tomato mixture. Taste of seasonings. At this point, add the frozen shrimp and let them steam cook for a few minutes. Stir and add the cream.

Say Goodbye to Seasonal Stress! These Genius Holiday Tricks Let You Enjoy the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

by Kate CartiaNovember 4, 2022

Stress over the holidays? We don’t know her. These genius holiday tricks keep us calm and bright this season.

Maybe you don’t believe us, but it’s true. We’ve decided this is the year we implement these holiday tricks and stop stressing. Well, maybe not totally. We can’t promise you’ll find everything on your kiddos’ ever-changing lists or that you won’t run out of butter (which reminds us—buy butter and freeze it. It sounds so easy, but it saves a ton of time. You’ll thank us later!).

What we can promise is that we’ve looked high and low for hacks, tips, and products that’ll make your season far more relaxed. You deserve to enjoy your holiday, even when you’re in charge of creating most of the holiday magic in your home. We’re here to show you the easiest way to wrap gifts, bake three dozen cookies at one time, and even remove red wine stains! Whether you’re hosting or visiting or keeping it to immediate family, these holiday tricks are going to change your merry mind about seasonal stress!

ELF—Easy Light Feeder

No more balancing on ladders to get those Christmas lights juuuuuuust right. The ELF light hanging system allows you to hang lights on trees over 20 feet tall without getting up high yourself. Complete with hook, light feeder, and ELF sack with a ringed opening, all you supply is any telescoping extension pole (with standard 3/4 inch ACME threads). Margo and Todd won't even mind your display!

ELF—Easy Light Feeder ($49.99) Here

Gift Boxes with Lids

If the thought of wrapping all your gifts makes your eye twitch, we've got you! Give yourself permission to use boxes and gift bags. They're just as cute as paper-wrapped presents and you can even find patterns that match your whole holiday aesthetic!

Gift Boxes with Lids ($23.99) Here

Instant Electric Round Dutch Oven

You've heard of the InstaPot; now meet the Instant Dutch Oven! Braise/slow cook/sauté/sear/food warm/cooking pan—there's not a lot it can't do. It also saves you time, space, and stress. Solid holiday hack, we think.

Instant Electric Round Dutch Oven ($229.95) Here

Pre-Rolled Napkins with Gold Cutlery, 50 Pack

You'll be shocked at how much these pre-rolled napkins take off your to-do list! No need to search for extra silverware or come up with a way to set the dining table for everyone: these napkin rolls are pretty and convenient and we're just ga-ga over them!

Pre-Rolled Napkins with Gold Cutlery, 50 Pack ($39.99) Here

Holiday To-Go Boxes

Look, as much as we'd love to, it's unlikely we're going to finish every last leftover before we're totally over it. Send your guests with to-go boxes. Seriously. Just do it. Send a "plate" for family members and friends who might've had to work, avoid having 10lbs of turkey left in your fridge, treat them to extra cookies; whatever makes your life (and clean-up easier!).

Holiday To-Go Boxes ($23.99) Here

Blue Apron Holiday Meal Kits

Have you attempted to go into a grocery store anytime during the holidays?? It's a madhouse. And while we can't keep you from having to run in a few times, we can take the bulk of the food prep stress away with Blue Apron! Blue Apron is offering three delectable holiday meal kits that you can order just in time for the big day (or days!). There are three complete meal options with everything you need to create something super special for the season. And don't forget that Blue Apron also offers Wine Bundles, too!

Blue Apron Holiday Ham Box—$164.99—Buy Now

Blue Apron Holiday Roast Box—$189.99—Buy Now

Blue Apron Holiday Vegetarian Box—$124.99—Buy Now

Reusable Elastic Food Storage Covers, 3 Sizes

We couldn't convince you to send all your leftovers out with your guests? No problem. We've fought with foil and struggled with plastic wrap and now we're practicing self-care by popping these elastic covers on our dishes and calling it a day.

Reusable Elastic Food Storage Covers, 3 Sizes ($10.99) Here

Open-It! All-in-One Tool

It's a box cutter. It's heavy-duty scissors. It's a screwdriver. It's a package opener. This baby does. it. all. Perfect for opening those Amazon boxes and to have on-hand on Christmas morning to get those toys packages open ASAP!

Open-It! All-in-One Tool ($15.08)—Buy Now

Little ELF Gift Wrap Cutter (2-Pack)

Believe the hype. This. Works. The ELF wraps around the roll of wrapping paper you want to cut, and then simply slides down the length of it without pulling, tearing, or creating a crooked cut! Know that ultra-satisfying sound of the scissors gliding through wrapping paper? You get that every single time with the ELF.

Little ELF Gift Wrap Cutter (2-Pack) ($14.99) Here

String Light Ladderless Light Clips

Another light-related holiday hack, yes, but can you tell we want to make sure you're safe? It's because we care. Similar to the previous light-hanging gadget, this kit has an adaptor you attach to any threaded pole (not included) and 50 clips to secure your light strings!

String Light Ladderless Light Clips ($9.99) Here

Thirsty Light Christmas Tree Watering Sensor

Okay, this one is cool. Keep track of watering your Christmas tree with this little snowflake sensor. It sits in the branches like an ornament and blinks red when the water level in your tree's water supply is low! Adds some peace of mind and keeps your tree looking fresher, longer.

Thirsty Light Christmas Tree Watering Sensor ($18.99) Here

Treemote Wireless Remote for Christmas Trees

No one wants to crawl under the tree to unplug or plug in your tree lights, so just scrap that all together with the Treemote. It controls your tree lights up to 100ft away (and can actually be used with other lighting devices year-round if you wanted!).

Treemote Wireless Remote for Christmas Trees ($19.99) Here

Ornament Anchors

Into keeping your keepsakes? These ornament anchors are far more secure than traditional wire ornament hooks and can hold up to 8lbs! Using the toggle, secure your baubles and hang as usual. Kids and pets are no match for these! Plus they come in several colors to blend in with your decorations.

Ornament Anchors ($19.99) Here

2-Pack Red Wrap Buddies

These convenient little clamps give you the extra hand you need when wrapping gifts! No more rolling or lost tape (it's built into the clamp!) and the paper doesn't curl away from you. Win.

2-Pack Red Wrap Buddies ($24.99) Here

3-Tier Oven Insert

Triple your baking efficiency with this oven insert! It expands your oven space so you spend less time rotating batches, plus the set includes three cookie sheets of its own.

3-Tier Oven Insert ($32.99) Here

Chateau Spill Red Wine Stain Remover

Seems too good to be true? Over 2,000 verified Amazon Customers can confirm this water-based, biodegradable spray is the real deal! Safe on clothes, carpets, linens, and upholstery, you'll never want to be without it (plus it makes a fun and practical stocking-stuffer!).

Chateau Spill Red Wine Stain Remover ($7.95) Here

Set of 4 White Resin Folding Chairs

Instead of dragging a desk chair or bar stool to the dining table for extra seating, we highly recommend investing in a set of extra chairs. These 1000lb capacity chairs fold up for easy storage and are indoor/outdoor-ready. Save yourself the stress of finding that old camp chair from 2014 and slide these right up to the table.

Set of 4 White Resin Folding Chairs ($178.99) Here

Disposable Plate Set

We're done doing dishes. We're tired, we're over being in the kitchen, and we just want to enjoy the day. This set is heavy-duty, so they hold up to all those holiday sides, look pretty, and are eco-friendly enough to just recycle after use!

Disposable Plate Set ($14.99) Here

Mixbook Easy Gifting

The thing with photos is that they make fantastic gifts, but finding the perfect one and then framing it to match someone else's home decor is all pretty tricky. Mixbook lets you design and create your own photo books using a huge selection of templates and an easy-breezy editing tool. Pick the photos you want, the format, and design away. Plus, Mixbooks are absolutely beautiful and make incredible presents!
