Netraty Hand Warmers Rechargeable 2 Pack, 6000mAh Chameleon Hot Hands Hand Warmers       Amazon       $24

Keep your hands warm when doing outdoor winter activities with these rechargeable hand warmers. Rechargeable with the included USB-C cord, these hand warmers will provide heat from eight to 20 hours, depending on the heat level you select. There are three heat settings (low, medium, high), so you'll get the longest heating time from the lowest setting. To be perfectly honest, I rarely turned these up any higher than the lowest setting, which was ample to take the chill off of my hands. The lowest setting will generate a mild heat of between 104-113° F, while medium will produce a heat of 113-122° F, and high will produce a heat of 122-131° F. I had previously used the disposable, one-and-done, air-activated hand warmers. Now, I just use these, placed into a pocket of my orange hunting vest. The description on Amazon states something about placing them into your gloves, but if you do, don't expect to be able to use your hands. They are a bit too big to place into your gloves and to expect to still be able to use your hands for any functional purpose.

Ceramic Oil Diffuser Large Room: Solid Bamboo Base Essential Oil Diffuser       Amazon       $46

Fill your living space with the pleasant scent of your favorite essential oil with this essential oil diffuser. Simply fill the reservoir with water, add your favorite essential oil, and you're set. You can set it to automatically turn off after one hour, three hours, or eight hours. Or, you can set it to provide an intermittent or continuous mist. The diffuser will turn itself off when it runs empty. It also has a nightlight feature, which will turn itself off after 30 minutes. Most of all, this thing is extremely quiet, making it a perfect addition to your bedroom. We have ours in the living room, and we usually set it to run continuously.

EGUKU Rechargeable Headlamp, 2 Pack 1200 Lumens 2COB Bright Headlamp       Amazon       $26

This may be the last headlamp I'll ever need. Not only is this thing BRIGHT, but it's rechargeable (with the enclosed USB-C charging cord). No more will I have to suffer from weak batteries … or even changing batteries! Did I mention that this thing is BRIGHT? Like 1,200 lumens bright. There are several settings. You can have just the front-facing spotlights on, just the cob LED light strips, both the spotlight and cob lights, or change to a night-vision saving red light. Furthermore, there is a motion detector (which you can turn off or on) that allows you to turn the lights on/off with the wave of your hand. Being a two-pack, you're sure to always have a headlamp nearby, or one always charged and one always "ready-to-go" or in use.

BUYSIGHT Rechargeable Spotlight Flashlight, 180,000 Lumens       Amazon       $46

Sometimes, you need more than just a headlamp … a lot more. This handheld rechargeable spotlight may be just the answer. Whatever you do, DO NOT stare into the light at the business end of this spotlight! At 180,000 lumens, this thing is B-R-I-G-H-T! The reported lumens in the description on Amazon are all over the map, but trust me when I tell you how bright this thing is. I live at one end of a street, and this spotlight EASILY illuminates the entire other end of the street a full city block away with no problem. You can recharge the built-in 10,000 mAh battery with any USB-C cable. Having such a large battery, you can also use this spotlight to charge your mobile devices, as well. On the left side of the unit is a flood light for illuminating a broader area. On the right side of the unit is a bank of monocrystalline solar cells to trickle charge the spotlight (but don't depend on it to be able to completely charge your spotlight's massive battery). It also comes with a red lens cover, which can help preserve your night vision. Besides having three power levels, this spotlight also has an "emergency" function that will blink out S-O-S should you get into trouble. According to the product description, you can expect between 10 and 20 hours of runtime from this spotlight, depending on the power level of the beam you choose.

Digital Kitchen Timer       Amazon       $10

This pair of electronic kitchen timers is just what you need while cooking meals. So frequently, you have multiple items cooking at the same time, so having more than one timer makes it a cinch to set a timer for each item. Programmable to count down time from 24 hours, an audible alarm will sound when the set amount of time has elapsed. It not only comes with your first AAA battery to power it, but it also has an auto-shutoff feature where it powers itself off after 30 minutes (when it's not being used). If you don't want to hear the alarm, you can also turn the audible alarm off, and just rely on the blinking red LED to alert you that the specified amount of time has elapsed.

Team Group CX2 2.5" 2TB SATA III 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)       Newegg       $82

Do you (or someone you know) have a computer that is running a bit slow? Do you want an easy way to speed it up? Look no further than replacing the spinning rust platter hard drives with a SSD, or Solid State Drive. Probably one of the biggest "bottlenecks" in the PC architecture is the relatively slow performance of "spinning rust platter hard drives" (when you compare them to the speeds of RAM and other components of the system). While it won't replace poor video performance from an outdated video card or lagging performance from an older CPU, adding a SSD will significantly speed up the I/O of data on your computer. This 2TiB SATA III internal SSD will fit into most laptops, as well as into most desktop systems (with the addition of a 2.5" drive bay … which are pretty inexpensive). Plus, at 2TiB, you will have plenty of storage space for a long time to come.
