Scroll through for some of our Crow’s Nest essentials that are currently on deal for Prime Big Deal Days.
New to Prime or in need of some helpful tips on how to navigate Prime Big Deal Days? Check out my post on what to expect here.
Organization
3 Drawer, 9 Slot Organizer
This three-drawer plastic organizer from iDesign is the perfect solution for keeping track of all my sunglasses. I keep this on the shelf next to my purse so I can easily switch out sunnies on my way out the door.
It’s a small size but offers space for nine sets of glasses – more than I need, but room to grow or store other things I need to grab on the go.
Pro tip: I added little rubber bumpers to the bottom corners to keep it from sliding so much when I pull open the drawers since my shelf doesn’t offer any grip.
You can grab it here:
Clear, Stackable Storage Drawers
This set of four drawers has been absolutely fantastic for getting my nail polish collection sorted and organized.
I did downsize a bit while working on filling these but still have a wide range of colors and styles that fit perfectly into these drawers.
When searching for a storage solution, the height of the drawer was very important to making sure the bottles would fit. This set of drawers does the job.
Each of the drawers is also removable, so it can be pulled all the way out to make packing, organizing, and finding what you’re looking for that much easier.
Coffee
Like so many homes, our house runs on coffee.
We converted to a dual brew system several years ago with one of the earliest Hamilton Beach models. While it served us well (and we even took it to my father-in-law’s house when we upgraded) we ultimately switched to the Keurig K-Duo when it was time to get something new.
The K-Duo was great on several fronts, but the hotplate failed on us out of the blue – something I later found out is quite common with no real solution.
So, what else can you do when it’s late on a Saturday, you’ve just realized your coffee maker is broken, you don’t have a backup, and your family needs coffee in the morning? Obviously you do a quick search of the WalMart inventory to see what can be delivered to your door before bedtime so you can get coffee set!
Enter the Ninja Hot and Iced Coffee Maker.
This is possibly my favorite dual brewer yet. It has a large water reservoir, a built-in frother, comes with a handy, stowable scoop, and is compact. You can store the water reservoir on the side or in the back to save even more space, and with the single-serve cup holder folding down above the hotplate, everything gets brewed from the same spout.
While the Amazon-linked model below comes with the reusable filter, the one I grabbed from WalMart didn’t have that, so I ended up buying mine separately. Works perfectly fine with the paper filters as well, though.
Can't speak highly enough of this coffee maker!
Cold Brew System
This is the simplest and quickest way I’ve found yet to make delicious cold brew coffee at home. Bonus points – it’s super affordable.
Long story, but I ended up with a few 64-ounce mason jars from WalMart for about $5 each that I had no idea what to do with. I was hesitant to get rid of them for the someday possibility that I might be able to find an effective use for them, but they did spend a sad amount of time sitting and collecting dust in my pantry.
At some point in 2022 or 2023 I came across some TikTok creators advertising a set very similar to this one and was so excited to finally find a potential use for those extra large jars!
Here's the full set I got to get me started, but each component can now be found on its own if you don't need all of the pieces.
Home Office
Working from home means I have a lot of time to spend with my accessories and devices. For that reason I’ve spent a good bit of time trying to figure out what works best for me.
Here are some of my Crow’s Nest essentials for home office.
TOZO
Pretty much anything by TOZO – especially when it comes to headphones. I have a few too many, but they’re worth every penny for me and offer such great quality and reliability that I can’t see myself branching out much, especially for personal use.
I appreciate each of the above highlighted headphones for different reasons, but as you can see, I love TOZO as an overall brand for headphones.
For more in-depth reviews of the three options highlighted above, see my YouTube channel.
EMEET AirFlow
These over-ear headphones plus microphone are absolutely essential for my day-to-day work. My work PC doesn’t allow me to connect anything via Bluetooth (and I’m a bit picky about my headsets so I decided to get my own rather than having work get me one). With that in mind, I needed to search for some headset options that come with a USB dongle.
I’ve tried several of the more traditional headset options, but where I was running into trouble came down to two major components.
- I needed a lower-profile and over-ear option. My regular headset rested on my ears, which had to change when I got my second lobe and helix piercings in December 2023. I’m also not a fan of having to use anything wired, as I tend to move around and that just gets in the way.
- I wanted something that was either a traditional headset style and convertible – two ears or one ear – or an earbud-style that could be worn with one or both – but it needed to have a dongle.
I ended up with two options – one that requires me to use an additional external mic because the sound quality wasn’t so great and the EMEET AirFlow.
Now, the AirFlow is quite a bit outside of my normal budget range, but I do have to say, in this case, they are worth every penny.
They are comfortable for long-term wear, allow you to connect the mic to either earbud, can be worn together or separately, and offer excellent sound and microphone quality.
These get extended daily use and I haven’t had a single issue yet, which is huge!
ProtoArc Trackball Mouse
I’ve gone into some detail on this one in the past, but it’s worth mentioning again.
It’s been quite a while since I made the switch to a trackball mouse, but there’s a reason I haven’t switched back. The design and ease of use keep me with this style and this mouse in particular.
This can connect to three separate devices – two through Bluetooth and one via USB dongle (as mentioned above, essential for my job). Switching between devices is very easy and using with multiple monitors is no problem at all.
I have this in both black and white to have a backup/travel option and both are gorgeous, easy to use, and high quality.
