• Bye, drips: Car coasters ($3.99, 32% off two) keep your cupholders free of condensation and gross, sticky stuff. 
• Scrapin’ by: Burnt rice at the bottom of the pan is no match for this scraper ($8.99, 25% off a set of four).  
• Defuzz your stuff: If your couch cushions, sweaters and jammies are pilling, this little fabric shaver ($8.50, 35% off) will clean ‘em right up.
• When ya gotta go: A much nicer bathroom scent ($5.99) than the default.
