Everyone needs a little helper, especially around the holidays. Santa has elves and now you -- the host with the most, perhaps a bit anxious about having hordes of family over -- have the Instant Pot Viva 6-quart 9-in-1 multicooker, currently on major discount as Best Buy's Deal of the Day.

The Instant Pot Viva 9-in-1 multicooker works as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, warmer, steamer, rice cooker and even sous vide cooker for easy apps, super sides and tender, fall-off-the-bone main courses. This miracle machine is currently half off, down to under $60 during the one-day-only deal. Yes, Instant Pot can help you nail your holiday hosting duties, but it can also make a perfect gift for anyone on your list.

The one thing an Instant Pot can't do? Mix a perfect batch of cookie dough, but fear not: This KitchenAid Pro 500 Series stand mixer
-- one of the brand's most powerful models -- is also currently down to under $200 (originally $500), also for today only.
