In this gift guide, Filter staff and contributors recommend inexpensive treats that feel like they should cost more than they do. They're all things that really make life a bit easier or more joyful for example, a sauce that transforms Tuesday-night dinner, a sleep mask that upgrades red-eye flights and a passionately recommended lineup of toys picked by kids, for kids. Read on for our 23 holiday gifts that punch above their price point.

There's the champagne popping and the cocktail cheers-ing, plus spreads a-dripping and candies a-dropping. While you want everyone to have a good time as you host, the truth is that all of that fun is bound to come with a mess. But if it happens, it happens. Thanks to this Tineco GO Floor Washer from QVC currently being on Black Friday sale, you'll have exactly what you need to clean everything up in no time.

I've always loved to clean. Not in a "this place needs to be spotless at all times" kind of way, but because cleaning genuinely makes me feel good. There's something deeply satisfying about watching a messy space transform right in front of you - and few tasks deliver that instant gratification quite like vacuuming. The steady hum, the clean lines on a rug, the tiny bits of dust disappearing into the canister; it's all weirdly meditative to me.

Appliance envy is a feeling I didn't know existed until the first time I saw a Dyson vacuum at a friend's apartment. The slick lines and futuristic aesthetic immediately called to me, voicelessly calling my current dustbuster clunky, dated, and ugly. Who knew you could be so jealous of an appliance? The second I got home, I was scrolling through the appliance brand's website, earmarking the vacuum that I would make my next home investment.

The Clean Navigation system of the Matrix is a marked improvement over simple robot vacuums that navigate randomly. This tech instructs the vacuum to methodically vacuum in a specific grid pattern and repeatedly passing over the same areas until all dirt and debris have been removed. Rather than rely on the hope that, over time, the robot catches all places through random movement, you enjoy deliberate coverage that systematically takes on your whole floor area one step at a time.

Scrubbing the bathroom or cleaning the oven aren't my favorite things to do, so I've been on the search for a product to make those chores quicker and easier. And I've found it: the Teko Power Scrubber. This cordless electric brush comes with attachments and two speeds that can tackle even the hardest stains. Best of all, it's on sale at QVC, bringing the price down from $55 to $37.99.

To effectively eliminate fruit flies, you can create a simple trap with apple cider vinegar, dish soap, and a jar, capitalizing on their attraction to organic materials.

The Tineco Pure One Station 5 excels at picking up pet hair and assorted debris, outperforming traditional upright vacuums in cleaning capability.

"Asking yourself this question before gatherings helps to ensure that your home isn't just clean, but functionally welcoming, with clear walkways and surfaces," Krueger says.

The Ecovacs Deebot N30 Omni offers a compelling alternative to high-end models, delivering strong features at an accessible price point, particularly during its current sale.

I know mops probably aren't the first thing designers reach for to style a space, but the bright pink color is a plus if it has to be left out for cleaning.

"I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is."

Don't despair, readers. There exists a solution. You can clean your house and rot your free time away on the couch. It's as simple as investing in the roborock Q8 Max+ Robot Vacuum and Mop.

I love this coffee maker. It's so easy to clean and stores in the fridge with easy access. The spout does not leak, which is pretty awesome too. The coffee basket is large, allowing you to cold brew both coffee or specialty teas. Highly recommend if you are considering a cold brew coffee maker. We had a pitcher-styled one and you can't compare!
