If we know you as well as we think we do, you have a lot of friends. A lot of best friends — whom you want to spoil this holiday season. (No need to explain: People like you, and you like them!) But because none of us have unlimited bank accounts, we realize money can get a little tight — especially this time of year when we also have family to shop for, doormen to tip, and travel plans to pay for.

That’s why we rounded up this list of super-cute and thoughtful gifts from Amazon. Each item is just $10 or less and sure to make your friends feel extra special.

Knowing that many of us like to plan ahead rather than be totally overwhelmed by all of the sales on Black Friday, Target has “leaked” a mailer previewing hundreds of the thousands of items you’ll find at deep discounts online and in stores later this week. And, because they want to really give you a head start, the sale goes live at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day in stores and online.

So once you emerge from your food coma, sit back and get ready to start clicking because quantities are limited on many items. There’s something for everyone on your list (yes, even yourself), but here are our top picks for the home.

Before I even knew all the damage that fluoride was capable of, it just felt wrong to me. I was one of those weird mothers in the dentist office with a special note on my kid’s charts that read – NO FLOURIDE. They would always look at me a little strange when it was time […]

At the end of the big meal when the bird has been carved for leftovers, we’re left with what could become a source of literal Primal gold—the skin, bones and gristle of the carcass. With just 5 minutes of preparation and a mere 45 in the Instant Pot, you could enjoy several jars of prime turkey bone broth for future soups, stews, sauces or just plain sipping on a cold morning.

Plan now so you’ll be ready to take full advantage of tomorrow’s golden opportunity with this simple recipe.

Ingredients:

• Turkey Carcass (use what you can for the size of your Instant Pot)
• Water
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 sprigs of thyme (optional)
• 1 sprig of sage (optional)
• 1 sprig of rosemary (optional)
• 1/3 white onion
• 1 large carrot, chopped
• 2 stalks celery

Instructions:

Put turkey carcass, herbs, salt, pepper and vegetables in the Instant Pot. Add water until approximately 2/3 full. Cook for 45 minutes on manual high with vent closed. Strain the broth through a colander and jar the broth. Store in the refrigerator.

All right, I’m just putting this out there: Chicken thighs are one thousand percent better than chicken breasts. I love their richer, deeper flavor — and the fact that they even have flavor, because regardless of how they’re prepared or what they’ve been seasoned with, chicken breasts always taste like meat paper to me.

Just like this past April, the CDC is once again warning consumers to stay away from romaine lettuce due to an E.coli outbreak. “Consumers who have any type of romaine lettuce in their home should not eat it and should throw it away, even if some of it was eaten and no one has gotten sick,” the CDC explains in their announcement on Tuesday.

“How long does it take to microwave a 25lb turkey?” Carlota Andrés messaged to the family WhatsApp. Her famous father, chef, and humanitarian José Andrés, responded, aghast, in a mixture of English and Spanish that encompasses a horror perhaps not able to be contained in just one language. In fact, the younger Andrés was simply enacting the same prank that other young adults around the country have been all week.

I first saw the viral “microwaving a turkey” meme on Instagram, where my friend had posted a screenshot of her hilarious conversation with her mom. (If you aren’t aware of the trend, people are texting their moms asking how long it would take to cook a 25-pound turkey in the microwave in hopes of getting a funny response, then posting a photo of the conversation on social media.)

To be honest, I was less concerned about the fact that she was planning on microwaving her turkey and more upset that I thought I hadn’t been invited to her (fake) Friendsgiving. But after seeing a few more very similar posts, I quickly realized I had fallen prey to a meme.

I assumed it was all a joke. You can’t actually cook a turkey in the microwave, right? But although people were playing a joke on their moms, the actual act of microwaving a turkey can be done successfully. According to the USDA, it’s one of the many ways you can cook your Thanksgiving bird. Here’s how long it would actually take.

Who among us hasn’t at one time or another claimed that we have the absolute weirdest, most embarrassing family in America? Especially around the holidays, when all the uncles and cousins and aunts from out of town gather in one claustrophobic space, all those eccentricities we complain about but secretly love are on full display. In the age of social media, it’s easy to expose all their unconventional — if you want to put it generously — habits.

Probably aware that there are plenty of people out there eager to prove just how goofy their families are, Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon decided to mine Twitter for the best stories about weird Thanksgiving habits, and the results did not disappoint.
