Why we love this deal

You don't need to overspend to wow everyone on your holiday gift list. Instead of giving them something they want, you should buy them something they need. Of course, useful gifts like ladders and tool sets tend to run a little pricey, but there are plenty of outliers, especially if you're shopping for someone with limited space.

The Vivihomety Slim Utility Cart is on sale at Amazon right now, down 40% from its retail price of $50. If you buy it now, it should arrive well in time before the holiday, so you'll have more than enough time to wrap it and pair it with a heartfelt card.

Why do shoppers love it?

This four-tier kitchen cart is unbelievably versatile. It features a wooden tabletop and three tiers of baskets to hold everything from fresh fruit to spices or bottles of olive oil and wine. And because it's on wheels, you can drag it around the kitchen and the whole house, for that matter.

Each basket tier has a breathable design, so the moisture won't build up to damage any sensitive ingredients or items. It glides around easily and even features a sturdy handle to push and pull it anywhere you want it to go. 

Its fourth tier is perhaps its most functional, considering it's a flat wooden top. From here, you can enjoy the extra counter space to chop veggies, knead dough, or even mix drinks. As handy as it is as a kitchen cart, it would make an excellent mobile mini bar, and one that can hold both drinks and glassware, and even garnishes like lemons, olives, and bowls of ice. Shoppers are surprised by how useful this little cart is.

"For a kitchen cart at this size, it holds a fair bit," one shopper said. "I've taken to storing potatoes and onions on the bottom shelf and random sauce bottles and spices on the higher shelves, and it's helped tremendously with keeping everything organized. I think it's pretty sturdy as well."
