Promising reviews: "I've owned handpresso and minipresso, tried staresso and many others...none of those actually produced real espresso. Strong coffee, that's what they put out and it's better than weak coffee if that's the alternative — but no more! Flair makes espresso as good or better than most home machines available, and for far less money! More impressively, it delivers the most reliable and consistent results you'll ever find with an espresso machine." —Consumer Joe"I bought this as a gift for my husband, an avid coffee lover.

A Hexclad nonstick pan that your foodie father will thank you for time and time again. This'll create a juicy steak, chicken thighs, or lamb chops — and since it's nonstick, it can also work for soft scrambled eggs!
Promising review: "As a career chef, I know pans and am particular about the ones I have at home. After trying one at the kids' house, I started with a fry pan. Nothing I've used, including the best cast iron, combines all the qualities you need in cookware. Matched in heaven with clarified butter, these pans brown faster, more evenly, and with a lower heat setting than all others. I quickly bought the whole set. They even simmer water at a lower temp than fancy brands. Very little sticks, they clean quickly and easily, and seem to dry themselves if rinsed with hot water. Highly recommended." —RoyPrice: $109+ (available in five sizes and with or without a lid)

Highly recommend for the price. : )" —VinetimePrice: $19.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL, in two-packs, and 22 colors)
A pair of meat shredder claws that will become a talking piece whenever your dad makes a roast for their pals. They can use this to shred anything from smoked meats during BBQs or simple chicken breasts on a week night.
A fun mug if you grew up with your dad telling you "...I am your father." This'll be a hoot for any dad whose two favorite things are Star Wars and their kids.
Promising review: "This Yoda 'Best Dad Ever' mug is a fantastic gift for any dad, whether they're a Star Wars fan or not! It was packaged well, arrived in perfect condition, and shipped quickly.

I finally tried the "FhiFho" decluttering rule in my home — here's what happened
When it comes to keeping our homes neat and tidy, we all have our own methods of organizing. Trouble is, we don't often stick to them, and before you know it, our spaces quickly become cluttered again. I've been guilty of always picking things up, and dumping it in another (random) area where it doesn't belong. Be it my favorite cardigan hanging over a chair for days, or my hair styling products on a bookshelf, it's easy to accumulate mess. And while I've tried plenty of organizing tricks from KonMarie to the interesting 27 Fling Boogie technique, I'd still struggle to keep on top of the clutter. But that was when I finally decided to try the strange-sounding, 'FhiFho' decluttering rule to see if it would do the trick. While this isn't a new hack, the FhiFho method is a simple, no -fuss way of making sure everything is in its rightful place, and helps to reduce the amount of unsightly clutter. The FhiFho method is an abbreviation for 'full hands in, full hands out', and is essentially, a clever mantra experts say will make it easy to instantly relocate items. The idea is that you enter a room with a handful of items that belong in that area, and then take out a handful of items that don't belong in the space when you leave that room. The idea is that you enter a room with a handful of items that belong in that area, and then take out a handful of items that don't belong in the space when you leave that room. That way, you won't have any ad hoc items cluttering up a space that's not suitable for them. What's more, this is a great way to instantly deal with the mess head-on, without procrastinating or leaving tidying up for another day. The FhiFho decluttering method can be applied to organize many areas around the home, including the living room, bedroom and even children's rooms — where you'll often find the rogue toy or device lying around. With all that said, here's what happened when I put the FhiFho decluttering method to the test in my living room. If there's one room in our home that seems to be the dumping ground for my family's items, it's the TV wall shelf in our living room. From USB cables/chargers and old receipts taken out of bags, to cosmetics and hair styling products, these would often end up left on the shelves (usually forgotten about). Soon enough, my well-curated shelves were turning into a dumping ground for random items — creating an unsightly mess. Following the 'FhiFho' rules, I started collecting all the USB cables and chargers to put in their rightful place inside the TV wall cabinet. I put my son's game console accessories away, and grouped the endless, remote controls in a storage box to leave on the shelf. After focusing on the items that actually belonged in that space, I then took out what didn't belong there — and there were many! Random stuff including my laptop, hair brush, lipstick, letters, and my Bluetooth speaker had to go. I immediately returned them to their rightful place, and it only took a matter of minutes. It seems as though the FhiFho method made decluttering seem less of a chore — when forced to put things away. The result? A clutter-free shelf that looks tidy and minimal. What's more, I was able to use this method to declutter my kitchen cabinets by getting rid of all the non-essential items like plastic lids from takeout containers, to cookware that were either damaged, outdated or haven't been used in years. If you need extra storage, that won't take up much space, this folding ottoman bench is ideal. With a decent capacity of 15 x 30 x 15 inches, this is enough to fit light blankets, throws or even cushions. Designed with a linen-look fabric and fine stitching, this makes an attractive feature in the home. Although the FhiFho decluttering method sounds like common sense, it does force you to act quickly, especially if you are collecting a handful of items to relocate. In that sense, this makes it far more effective than just going through items one at a time, or on whatever day I feel like it! In addition, your newly-refreshed areas will look less of an eyesore — just don't get back into the habit of adding mess to it!

I have been looking for something in this fit for some time now. I am usually a 32, and quite curvy, which causes waist gaps in most jeans. So I ordered the 32 and 33. They both fit quite well. I went with the 33 because it's longer and more roomy around my hips, and gives me the baggy fit I wanted. The cinch waist allowed me to tighten the waist. It really is perfect, and I just ordered this in another color." —Peace Price: $47.69 (typically $69.99; available in women's sizes 24–34 and four denims) 20% off a vintage-style dimmable candle-warmer lamp so you can waft your favorite candles throughout your space in the most aesthetically pleasing (and safe!) way possible.

Perfect for anyone who is still just short of melting like the Wicked Witch this summer. TBH, this is a great layering piece to have even when the temps start to drop! I love pairing it with a cardigan on a cool morning and shedding it when it gets hotter throughout the day. It's comfy because it's got elastic in the back and adjustable straps, plus a zipper on the side so you can adjust it to your perfect fit and take it off without messing with it. It is genuinely so breezy that it feels like I've got nothing on when I'm wearing it. I've only worn it a few times this season but every time people have asked where I got it from — I got the brown one, but I'm considering going back for the green!Price: $31.18 (originally $38.99; available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 10 styles) 20% off a retro-style air fryer, because with the millennial love for all things vintage and all things air-fried, this was less of a possibility and more of an inevitability.

(Or possibly say, "Yeah, I bought these after seeing Margot Robbie wear a pair in Barbie, what of it??") Promising review: "I don't like the larger shades, so these are perfect for me. The lenses are not so dark that they distort what I am looking at. I love the design look without the designer price." —Lydia HarrisonPrice: $11.89 (typically $14.99; available in nine styles) 21% off a gorgeous vintage-inspired botanical tapestry that will bring some much-needed calm, lovely vibes to your space with almost *zero* effort on your part — all you have to do is hang it up with the included hook.

I charged it when I opened the package on arrival, and it's been playing all day with no problem. Great sound, and surprising how the sound carries; it's in the living room, and I'm in the kitchen, but it sounds like it's right next to me. Recommend this item for sure." —Cindy TrefferPrice: $13.89 (typically $17.89; available in nine styles). 20% off a plush velvet vintage-inspired ottoman that'll serve not just as a sweet accent to any room, but also give you some ~sneaky storage~ to help declutter and calm your space. Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!).Price: $27.99 (typically $34.99; available in three colors) 23% off a lovely, understated cheesecloth table runner you can swap out with every season or fun event to decorate the mantel, the dining room table, or a coffee table. Promising review: "This is a cheesecloth material but it's kind of like if cheesecloth met chiffon and had a love child. It looks so high quality and has a silky touch to it. I was very surprised at how nice it looks! The color is excellent and doesn't look cheap at all. I just wish they had it in navy blue or a midnight blue and I would be even more impressed. Def buy if you are on the fence!" —ChristinaPrice: $9.98 (originally $12.99; available in 16 colors) 20% off a vintage telephone trinket box that'll make your vanity look timelessly chic. Promising review: "I loved it, well made. Small, because it's a trinket box. Keep rings or earrings in it. I bought it for my niece, who is redecorating her bedroom. She wanted vintage, romantic, French country items. She loved it." —RochePrice: $13.59 (typically $16.99) 20% off a midcentury-style storage cabinet with rolling doors, so you'll feel *extra* sophisticated and fancy as you slowly open it to reveal your [number redacted] bottles of flavored vodka and Fireball. Promising review: "We love our new cabinet! This was the perfect addition to our cozy space. It was easy to build without compromising sturdiness. The look of this cabinet is very on-trend, yet timeless. The color looks just like the product images. Reasonable pricing for the look and quality." —EdgarDCPrice: $475 (typically $595; available in three finishes) $11 off a pair of retro-style over-the-ear headphones that are every bit as much a ~fashion statement~ as they are a piece of tech. Promising review: "I want to preface this with I'm not an audiophile — but the sound is great on the airplane, gym, train, and walking on the street. It pairs quickly with my laptops and phones. Program it once and it auto-pairs across multiple devices. Lightweight. The pads on the ears are really soft and comfortable, but no noise cancellation. Definitely recommend." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $45.59 (typically $56.99) 20% off an ornate vintage-style photo frame because if a photograph tells a story, then the frame it's in sets the whole tone for it. This will add the perfect nostalgic touch to sweeten your happiest memories when they're on display. Promising review: "Love love this! It looks vintage and is giving me all the vibes I wanted for my house. Great quality and was easy to use." —Erika MontgomeryPrice: $16.79 (typically $20.99; available in four styles and five sizes) 20% off a vintage-style essential oil diffuser to waft calming scents through your space and add a subtle touch of ~quiet luxury~ by serving double time as decor. According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the review: "I love love love this diffuser. I have used it every day and every night since buying it. It has a beautiful, warm glow and looks like a vintage piece of art. It is delicate glass but I am careful with it when cleaning it out or refilling it. I especially enjoy that I can turn the light off and keep diffusing at night. I have had several diffusers, but this one is the best one so far. Thinking of buying more for other rooms and to gift." —T&M TenagliaPrice: $46.39 (typically $57.99; available in two styles) 20% off a 1950s-style bowling shirt because Hot Girl Summer is over; Affable Bowling Dad Whose Shoes Are Chronically Untied Fall is here to stay. Promising review: "Fits great. Good quality. A FUN shirt for my hubby to wear! Gets compliments whenever he wears. It also makes it easy to find him in a crowd when we get separated 🤣. Size is true." —SuePrice: $14.39 (originally $24.99; available in sizes S–6XL)

15 "Normal" Things That Secretly Annoy People
Everyone has that one thing (or multiple things) that may seem completely normal and non-irritable to anyone else, but to you, it's enough to drive you up a wall. So, when Reddit user u/Advanced-Tell-9958 asked the question, "What's something 'normal' you just can't stand?" In r/CasualConversation, I knew it would bring out some pretty passionately irritated people: "Other people brushing their teeth, even on TV. Not sure why, but it makes me feel like gagging." "Anything spinning or rocking that makes a noise and won't fucking stop. A pot lid rocking back and forth on the counter or spinning on the ground after you drop it is absolutely infuriating." "Barking dogs. Not just a bark, but nonstop, incessant yapping and barking. If you're an asshole owner, I will let you know. Secondly, people who say dogs are supposed to bark whenever they want. I have three dogs. They behave. Dogs are like kids. If you let them make their own rules, they will. Sure, a bark at UPS, okay, thanks for protecting me. Now NO!" "I absolutely hate it when someone stands in my peripheral vision or in the doorway of a room I'm in, it makes me feel weirdly cornered. Probably has to do with my anxiety." "When people are loud/sloppy eaters. I used to try blocking it out. I still do, but it genuinely makes me so uncomfortable that I start to get mad. It's just gross. No way you can't hear yourself smacking and feel that your mouth is wide open. Also, the scraping of a fork on their teeth… Why?" "People who walk dragging their feet. Like, pick up your feet and don't scrape those shoes, flip-flops, or slides." "Tapping fingernails on the counter. Working retail, it feels like a quiet, impatient, unspoken 'hurry up!' to me. Feels rude." "Smelling other people's house smell on them in public. When someone walks by me and I catch a waft of their house smell, I feel violated lol. It's completely unreasonable, but I don't like it." "The sound of keys jingling. I carry my keys on my belt loop usually and have to stuff them in my pocket when I'm at work because the noise makes me want to scream otherwise. I had one job where we had to carry our keys on our belt and weren't allowed to just have them in our pocket or hand, so I would put them on my belt and then use the attached cord to stuff them in my pocket and just pull them out if the boss came by." "There are ads on TV or online for apps or channels that will play a certain type of tone or sound (white or 'brown' noise) that they claim will relax your brain or help silence it or whatever. Nope. Fuck right off with your staticky snake oil nonsense. Those sounds are nails on a chalkboard to me and poke right at my rage centre... an admittedly extreme and out-of-character reaction." "New car smell. Especially when it's very leathery and plasticky. It triggers my carsickness." "When someone has a phone call that's Bluetooth-connected through their car, so you can hear the caller's side coming in through their radio speakers. I don't want to hear it, AND phone calls sound universally terrible through car speakers because a phone microphone isn't calibrated for that kind of transmission and playback." "I don't know why, but 'kissing sounds' on TV. I don't mind kissing; I love kissing! But the smacking sounds of it on TV gross me out. It's probably related to the way I hate food-smacking sounds." "For me, it's kids. I actually love kids and have three nephews and a niece who make up each of the four sections of my heart. But other people's kids, especially in places that I consider 'adult/not kid-friendly.' Public transportation, beaches, supermarkets without the kiddy play area, movie theaters after sunset, restaurants that aren't like Chuck E. Cheese's, and even streets outside of a residential area/school zone. I don't mind mild-mannered kids minding their own business or even older kids, say, two-digit aged. But most kids aren't that way, and that completely ruins the experience for me." And finally, as a person who lives in a big or "touristy" city, here's one that also grinds my gears: "People ramming through the city totally clueless and without any perception of their surroundings. They knock into each other and into things standing around, and they don't seem to care at all. Some of them even stop, turn around 180°, and start walking again while you're right behind them." Are there perfectly "normal" things that you really can't stand and want to share? Let out all those frustrations down in the comments!
