So many brands of headphones focus on functionality over style, but what if you could have both?

Simply store it in the freezer, then place your stemmed glassware in the cradle, and it’ll stay cool until the last drop.
Looking for Amazon Prime gifts for coffee lovers? Consider the Vinci Express Cold Brew Coffee Maker, which is available for free next-day shipping.

Everyone needs a little dose of Zen these days, and the Purrble companion delivers in spades.

Its sensors respond to touch and begin to purr. It’s a cute gift for kids with a positive purpose.
Eye masks always seem like a smart idea for long red-eye flights and in hotel rooms with insufficient curtains, but have you ever noticed how annoying they can be? Most of them squish your head, put too much pressure on your nose or eyes and still let in more light than you’d like. Meet the Manta sleep mask, which blocks 100% of light with zero eye pressure and still manages to be machine washable. Its adjustable eye cups mold to your face for comfort that lulls you to sleep. For something a bit heavier, try a weighted eye mask.
