Oprah's favorite portable jewelry box is a dazzling $13 for Cyber Monday

Save up to $10 on this travel jewelry box from Oprah's Favorite Things.

Every savvy traveler makes sure that their essentials are organized, folded and tucked just right to fit into that overhead bin. Packing cubes keep it tight and tidy, but we're going to throw one more travel essential into the mix — Benevolence LA's Plush Velvet Travel Jewelry Box. It's one of Oprah's Favorite Things, and you can get the top-seller on Amazon for as low as just $13 (marked down from $25) as part of the retailer's early Cyber Monday sale.

Oprah agrees that this soft velvet-covered container is a treasure in itself. It's less than four inches in diameter but has enough compartments to neatly hold a surprising amount of bling, and it comes in jewel tones like deep red and emerald green or softer hues like pale pink and orange (prices vary).

Why is it a good Cyber Monday deal?

Keeping your prized jewelry safe during your travels is really worth its weight in, well, gold. After all, no one wants to get to their destination and find that their favorite necklaces are now all tangled together and have to be brought in for repairs — an undertaking that can certainly become costly. You also run the risk of losing items from your collection if they're scattered across your packing, or thrown into a makeup bag. With this simple storer — an impressive nearly 40% off right now in the orange shade — there's a place for every piece and every piece will be in one place.

Why do I need this?

We first spotted this little gem on Oprah's Favorite Things 2022 list. “Nobody wants their jewelry jingle-jangling freely in their suitcase," Oprah said. "This jazzy velvet travel case keeps your prized pieces stylishly contained with spaces for rings, bracelets and necklaces. And it’s small enough to stash in your purse.” If it's good enough for Oprah, it's definitely good enough for us!

What reviewers say

Amazon shoppers certainly agree with the always-chic Queen of All Media, calling the little jewelry organizer "beautiful, functional and giftable!"

One thoughtful husband said he gave it as "a gift for my wife, and she loves it!" He continued: "In the past, she has used Ziploc bags and plastic hotel cups to store her jewelry when traveling. This is a huge upgrade! She said it is the perfect size for travel, feels solid ... Now she’s ready to plan a trip."

Fans are particularly taken by the high quality and convertibility. "Perfect gift for any traveler or jewelry lover," wrote an impressed shopper. "Nicely put together, metal part of zipper even wrapped to prevent scratching. Dividers on left side are removable to personalize and rings stay nicely on the right! Better-than-expected quality!"

Another happy gift-giver wrote: "I bought this as a gift for a friend who is traveling soon. After receiving it ... I decided to order myself one, too! Very convenient size — not too big ... but you can fit a decent amount of jewelry in there. Will help keep necklaces and dangling earrings from tangling while traveling. Love that it has a tiny mirror included."

Yes, people are gifting this pretty velvet box left and right. But, um, sometimes it's the thought that counts ... right? "Wonderful gift ... even better than I thought," began a fan. "Bought as a gift for my cousin, but ended up keeping it for myself! Love it!" (Oops.)

By the way, this "fancy and practical" box is not just for travel either, noted another pleased shopper. "I keep it on my dresser for jewelry that I wear daily."

And who said it's just for femme jewels? The navy or sage versions (both on sale for $20) would certainly make a great little tie clip and cufflink holder, too.

This adorable velvet organizer keeps earrings, rings and other itty-bitty baubles organized and protected in your purse or your luggage.

Aside from their fab price (over 40% off!), we love the real-time power readout on the front of the case of these earbuds, making it so much easier than pulling out your phone and swiping to find out how much charge is left. The top number shows how much juice is in the case, while the two smaller indicators show readings for each bud. Pretty smart! But that's not their only innovative feature: These buds have everything you'd expect in a quality pair. On-ear controls let you answer calls, skip songs and activate Siri. They also have multiple sound modes to pick from. Nearly 8,000 five-star fans can't be wrong, right?

This No. 1 bestselling, TikTok-famous compact carpet cleaner packs a punch, especially considering it weighs less than 10 pounds! Its powerful suction can be used to remove stains not just from rugs, but furniture and even car upholstery, too. Plus, it comes with a self-cleaning hose tool and a bottle of Bissell's Spot & Stain with Febreeze. We haven't seen this viral cleaner priced much lower than it currently is in years (it was only a few bucks cheaper back in July for Prime Day) — and when you consider how much money it'll save you in professional cleaning bills (and replacement furniture), it'll pay for itself in just a few uses.

With its 6-quart capacity, this gorgeous air fryer can hold enough food for five to seven people, yet its small footprint won't take up too much space on your counter. Its patent-pending TurboCrisp technology helps ensure quick, even cooking with that crunch factor we all crave (though you'll be able to cook with as much as 75% less fat than deep-frying). The user-friendly touchscreen lights up while in use and features time and temperature settings (from 90-400 degrees Fahrenheit), as well as four functions: Air Fry, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate, the latter of which is a cool feature that isn't always included with air fryers.

At just about half a pound, this topseller is like an ultra-lightweight extension of your arm — and what it lacks in heft, it certainly makes up for in dexterity. With this handy grabber tool, you'll be able to grasp hard-to-reach items above and below with ease. The durable metal rod extends as far as 32 inches for easy reaching and folds down for space-saving storage when not in use. Its rubber claws ensure a secure hold, and its grips are also equipped with magnets for lifting metallic items small and large.
