We all get to a point in our lives where we are elated and overjoyed to receive basic essentials like socks, underwear, and a pack of T-shirts. If you’re the gift giver, these indispensable offerings can be found all year round—no more camping outside and wrestling for this year’s hottest toy. It’s never been easier to stock up on practical presents for the pragmatist in your life thanks to Amazon’s sale on personal care products, like this deal on Crest Whitening & Oral-B electric toothbrushes.

An Oral-B Genius 7500 system on a blue and white background

This Oral-B 7500 Electric Toothbrush system is 26% off, down to $99.99 from its $134.94 original price. It comes with replacement brush heads so you’ll have backups on deck when it’s time to change your fringing, splayed bristles for a fresh set. An included travel case means you don’t have to search for one when it’s time for your next adventure. And, this isn’t your average electric toothbrush. A programmable 360-degree SmartRing with LED lights turns a daily task into a bright experience, and it can be connected to the Oral-B app to track your brushing. Five brushing modes, a pressure sensor, and an in-handle timer allow you to keep your teeth dentist-ready day and night.

Just make sure to floss before or after. Thankfully, this Waterpik Cordless Rechargeable Portable Water Flosser is on sale for $54.89, down 22% from its $69.99 original price. It has the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance, meaning it won’t anger your dentist when he hears you used a gadget at your yearly cleaning.

While you’re getting your teeth nice and clean, check out these other personal care essentials that are on sale:

Speaking of household essentials, Amazon’s Stock Up & Save program gives Prime Members a 20% discount when they place $50 or more on items from a pre-selected list. I asked my parents for .07 pencil lead for my mechanical pencils one holiday as a wee lass—which is to say, sometimes the sensible presents are the best ones to give.

Here are some Stock Up & Save eligible items for you or the utilitarian in your life:

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
