T-fal Ultraglide Easycord FV4495 Iron

Yes, it is generally a great rule of thumb to never give a gift to a woman that requires a plug and resembles work. However, if said gift makes life considerably easier, perhaps that rule was meant to be broken. The T-fal Ultraglide Easycord Steam Iron features a wide variety of convenience factors, including 3-way auto shut-off, easy cleaning, easy-fill tank and more. But the real “it” factor lies in the fact that it’s the highest rated iron in terms of glide-ability thanks to its ceramic soleplate. It’s both scratch-resistant and non-stick, make the task at-hand go much faster than with a regular iron.

Available at amazon.com for $45.31.
