I've got some old birthday gift cards for amazon lying around - $50 worth - and want (don't need) something for the kitchen.

What would you suggest? I don't need anything, but just need some new gizmo or tool... ;)

Not knowing what tools/gadgets you already have, makes it difficult, but here are some suggestions:

Immersion blender, ice cream maker, kitchen scale, microplane...

I recently ordered from Amazon the best corkscrew I've ever tried - made in the Netherlands - unbelievably effortless.

I don't know if you're a baker, but Amazon sells lots of baking stuff, such as extracts (I just ordered some Totonac Mexican Vanilla extract), cacao nibs, cocoa powder, chocolate, etc.

How do you find the Friday Sale? I never seem to be able to find it on the site. Is it where it says "Today's Deals?"

Yes. There used to be a drop-down list when you hovered over the link, but now you have to click on it; the Friday Sale link is on the next page.

The Friday Sale has been into chocolate lately. Two weeks ago I scored some 72% Vivani Organic Chocolate Bars (from Germany).
