To use Amazon’s Smart Plug, connect it to a standard outlet and pair with the Alexa app. Then plug in electronics of your choosing to control them via the app or by using voice commands.

Thanks to its compact size, I find it easy to incorporate the Blink Mini into any room in my home, and it took less than five minutes to set up.
Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp
4.2-star average rating from 7,227 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
I never thought of myself as the type of person who can’t eat a meal without hot sauce until I discovered this Sichuan Chili Crisp from Fly By Jing, one of our favorite AAPI-owned businesses. The oil-based sauce is made with chilis and peppers that give it a kick, but I don’t find it unbearably spicy whatsoever, despite being sensitive to spice. I drizzle the sauce over vegetables and fish to add a little heat to my meals, and I love the crunchy bits you get in every spoonful.
