Oh, and you’ll get beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. You’ll save $80 with this deal, so if you’ve been lusting after this mixer, now’s the time.

Tired of having to scrape caked-on tomato sauce off your microwave? Angry Mama to the rescue! All you do is remove her hair (sorry, Mama!), fill her with vinegar and water, put her hair back on, pop her into the microwave and heat for 5 to 8 minutes. While she’s in there, the vents in her hair will release a mist of the water-vinegar mixture, which helps soften and release all of that food buildup. Then, you can simply wipe everything down, no harsh chemicals or intense scrubbing required. Get her while she’s nearly 60% off.

Not only are these clear mugs aesthetically pleasing (your drink will look like it’s levitating), they’re also double-wall insulated to keep beverages hot or cold while protecting your hands.
