1. Adulting 101 courses

This bundle of three online courses covers the real-world skills your family member or friend may have missed in school, including how to land a job, manage finances and improve credit scores. Many of us learn these lessons on our own over time, often by making mistakes. These courses aim to shorten the learning curve and better equip your gift recipient with key skills for success. Normally a bundle like this would set you back $467, but it’s on sale for $29. (The courses also make a great gift for yourself!)

2. A 20-piece cookware set

Making your own meals can save money and help maintain a healthier diet. Consider giving an ambitious new home cook this set of kitchenware, which includes baking sheets, saucepans, frying pans and skillets ― all with a special coating for fuss-free cleanup.

Head over to HuffPost’s Food & Drink section for ideas and tips on making cheap eats or fancy meals, including how to make spaghetti carbonara without screwing it up and the 10 most popular Instagram recipes. This set normally retails for $250, but it’s on sale for $179.

3. The space-saver for small kitchens

Many of us start our journey into adulthood in small or shared apartments. This Vitachef electric cooking system is an appealing choice for cozy kitchen situations. It steams, sautés, slow-cooks, bakes, roasts, pan fries, stews, grills and more. Perfect for those who want to order less takeout (or expand beyond ramen and PB&J), the Vitachef system makes cooking (and cleaning up) quick and easy. Get it on sale for $100.
