I'm swooning over Giada De Laurentiis' sleek table lamp: This Amazon dead-ringer is $71
As a kitchen product obsessive (and former full-time baker), I'm always curious about the cooking gear celebrity chefs like Giada De Laurentiis use when the cameras aren't rolling. The Food Network star and cookbook author hasn't led me astray yet; her cutting board of choice has become a favorite of mine, and we both prefer the same silicone spatula. But recently, her influence has extended beyond the culinary realm, as I found myself swooning over a less expected item in her home: a small gold table lamp. In an Instagram photo of Giada and her daughter, Jade, you can see a side table with the aforementioned lamp perched upon it. I was so enamored of its sleek design that I immediately did some searching and found a lookalike ... for $210 (and that's on sale). But, I'm a deals writer for a reason, and with a little more digging, I struck this Amazon nugget: the Brightech Venus Mushroom Table Lamp, which is a much more palatable $71. I'm not a fan of harsh overhead lights, so I'm all about filling my home with small lamps that give off a cozy glow. That's why, as taken as I was with this lamp's striking shape and mid-century modern aesthetic, I was even more excited when I found out that it's dimmable. I love being able to control a room's brightness — different times of day call for different amounts of light — and all you have to do is tap this lamp to change things up. At 14 inches tall and 10 inches wide, it would look so elegant on a nightstand, desk, side table, mantel or even a kitchen counter. And if smart home gadgets are your thing, you can pair it with Alexa or Google Home Assistant so it'll turn on when you ask it to. Amazon customers give this little light high praise when it comes to its looks and dimming capabilities. "The lamp is absolutely gorgeous," raved one fan. "It is sturdy and great quality; you wouldn't even notice the difference from more expensive brands. It elevates any room with its modern design — can't recommend it enough." "I love the high-end look," echoed another shopper, while a third said it was "so good, we bought a second one." "Great dimmable light," wrote a mostly satisfied buyer. "I thought the material would be closer to metal than plastic, but you really can't tell unless you pick it up. [The] cord is wrapped similarly to a new iPhone charger, so it won't break easily." (Note: The material is, in fact, metal, albeit a lightweight one.) "I only wish it were taller," shared a final reviewer, who called it a "gorgeous mushroom lamp." Giada's penchant for gold applies to flatware too — she's been seen eating with gorgeous gold utensils in many an Instagram Reel, and this affordable set looks just like hers. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

Mother's Day Gift Guide 2025: Delicious Ways To Treat Her To A Long-Distance Meal
On Mother's Day, it's important to show mother figures in our lives they are cherished. This may include gifts or flowers and a special dinner date. Festive place setting for Mother's day But if they live far away and restaurant reservations are not part of the equation this year, there's some delicious ways to treat her to a fabulous long-distance meal that is delivered right to her front door. No reservations required! Zabar's Brunch for Mom Gift Crate Anyone who has ever visited New York City familiar with Zabar's, and for any mom who is from the city or is wistful about a visit, the Brunch for Mom Gift Crate ($209), is the next best thing. This selection of treats Zabar's is known for, like their babka in an updated raspberry flavor, fancy chocolates, New York-style bagels, as well as, of course, Smoked Nova Lox, homemade whitefish salad, and cream cheese. Everything necessary for a perfect Mother's Day brunch, no effort required. For anyone who wants to get a bit fancier, there's also an option to upgrade the kit to include caviar. Giadzy Cacio e Pepe Pasta Box This is one of the most classic of Roman dishes, but short of taking her on a weekend trip to Italy, it may be hard to do it justice at home. But this all-in-one kit (starts at $51) includes everything needed to make just as it's meant to be enjoyed: Organic Bucatini, super high-quality Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano, 4 Pepper-Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Giada's personal recipe for pulling it altogether. Peter Luger Dry-Aged Strip Steaks One of the most famous steakhouses in the country, this would be an incredible date night on any occasion – but if she does not live near one, shipping her some of their legendary steaks is the next best thing. In fact, it may be better because she can enjoy them in the comfort of her own home. This package of four dry-aged strip steaks ($362) also comes with steak sauce, optional added extra thick bacon, and detailed prep instructions so she can make a perfect steak dinner just as she enjoys it when the desire hits (which would probably be always.) Classic Surf & Turf Bundle Surf & Turf is as elegant as a dinner can get, and this gift set ($281) includes prime filet mignon and sustainably hand-harvested cold water lobster tails from Maine. It'll be a beautiful high-end meal – that she can enjoy in her pajamas! Citarella Oyster Flight Freshly shucked oysters with a chilled martini are one of life's greatest pleasures, but the experience is not always easy to come by. This oyster flight ($99)includes Wellfleet, Kumamoto, Lucky Lime, and Fisher's Island oysters that are all freshly shucked (they did the hard part for you!) and paired with lemons, mignonette and cocktail sauce. Goode Company Classic Mesquite Smoked Brisket There's nothing like Texas BBQ, and when the craving hits, only that will do. Houston-based Goode Company has a Classic Mesquite Smoked Brisket ($215) in its online shop, and it's freshly made in their BBQ pits before being shipped to her door. Whether she hails from Texas or just loves a beautiful cut of meat, this can be the makings of a beautiful Mother's Day meal to give this year. Wild Alaskan Company Alaskan Snow Crab Seafood Boil Kit The Wild Alaskan Company Alaskan Snow Crab Seafood Boil Kit ($189 for Wild Alaskan members and $239 for non-members) is for the mom who takes her seafood very seriously and includes snow crab legs and claws, sidestriped shrimp or spot prawns (depending on location) and Pacific halibut quick cuts. Pat LaFrieda Dry-Aged Burgers Gift Set These burgers are from a world-famous butcher and are no joke – they are the same ones used at many household-name restaurants, and if she loves a great burger, these can be delivered right to her house and be waiting in her freezer next time the craving hits. The set of two prime aged beef patties starts at $16.58 and is a blend of chuck, brisket, short-rib, and 30-50 day dry-aged prime rib. From there, all she has to do is create her perfect build. Grandma's Chicken Soup Care Package This company is one that's going to pull on the heart strings of many a family, especially one that harkens back to the classic moments having homemade meals in Grandma's kitchen. This is a small, family-run business based in Massachusetts, and offers a variety of heat-and-eat meals that would work for an at-home Mother's Day dinner. Build a package (price will vary depending on what you add) that may include chicken soup (with or without matzo balls), challah, knishes, and other comfort foods and it'll be like a trip back in time to Friday night dinner at Grandma's – without having to take a trip to the kitchen! Zucker's Mother's Day Bagel Brunch for 6 Zucker's is another New York City spot known for having some of the best bagels and appetizing around, and their bagel brunch gift set ($110) serves as a greatest hits box sent right to your mom's door, including a variety of bagels, schmears, Nova lox, and so much more. Omaha Steaks Mother's Day Surf & Turf Another great spin on the Surf & Turf concept, this one ($150) includes Butcher's Cut Filet Mignons and Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp along with a bunch of fun sides like stuffed baked potatoes and dessert options for a complete dinner with a whole lot going on – all in the comfort of home. Caroline's Brisket Taco Party A really fun option for when Mother's Day brunch meets Taco Tuesday, this kit ($70) has everything needed for a brisket taco gathering. This includes savory chopped beef brisket, cole slaw, rice, queso fresco, tortillas, sauces, and even dessert.
