This reusable sealing rod locks air and moisture out to prevent snacks from going bad, and it can also be used for food stored in freezers to prevent freezer burn. An assorted set of 12 includes five different color-coded sizes so you can keep your food fresh longer. Price is $23.95.

Electric Lighter
It’s hard to light some candles without a device made for just that purpose. The RONXS electric arc lighter has a long and flexible neck that can be rotated and twisted in any direction to suit different types of candles or for other lighting needs. Since it is an electric lighter, there are no flames or butane. It is great for outdoor use, as the wind-proof and splash-proof design protects the electrical pulse from being blown out by strong gusts or wet weather. The lighter also displays its real-time battery volume, so there’s no guessing as to when you’ll need to recharge it. Price is $12.99.
