1. 54% off an Amazon Echo Dot for a small but mighty smart speaker. In addition to playing music and podcasts (in strong, clear audio quality, might I add), this handy little sphere can connect to your smart home, set timers, give weather updates, and even tell jokes!
Promising review: “I got this for my adopted cat. He was in a foster home and was always around other cats. Since he’s now the only cat in the house, I have alexa play music while I’m away. I love I can check on the Echo dot to see what’s playing now, adjust the volume and check notifications. I connected my echo dot to my pandora account and haven’t looked back. I like that it has an alarm feature that I use to tell me the weather at the start of the day, so I know what to expect- while I normally check the weather on my phone, it’s nice to just have Alexa tell me without having to actually check- a lot of times I forget- ADHD mind, so just something that tells me daily helps with knowing what to wear and how to prepare for what’s outdoors.” —In_Her_Hands
Price: $22.99 (originally $49.99, available in three colors)
2. 60% off an oversized quarter-zip sweater because it’s officially the season for comfy-cozy layers. Get ready to live in this thing, my friends!
Promising review: “This sweater has been one of my go to options for over a year and a half now. I LOVE the fabric and the oversized/boxy fit. The sleeves have a tighter fit around the wrist, which is so great because it won’t get in your way. Details are nice, between the zipper pull and the reverse seams on the arms. She’s warm and cute and pairs well with skinny jeans, straight/wide jeans, and leggings too! (I’ve done ‘em all). I have Mediums in both, but could probably do a Small because of the oversized fit. Down to preference!” —Rose W
Price: $19.99 (originally $49.99, available in women’s sizes XS–XL and 27 colors)
3. 35% off some popular Crest 3-D Whitestrips if you want an easy way to lighten and brighten your smile. These are super easy to apply but are made with the same whitening ingredients that professional dentists use — no wonder reviewers see noticeable results in just a few days!
Promising review: “I couldn’t be happier with the results from the Crest 3D Whitestrips, Professional Effects! After just a few uses, I noticed a dramatic difference in the brightness of my smile, and my teeth look professionally whitened without the hefty price tag. The strips are easy to apply and stay in place, making the whole process convenient and mess-free. I’m impressed with how gentle they are on my teeth and gums while still delivering noticeable results. I highly recommend these Whitestrips to anyone looking for an effective and affordable way to whiten their teeth at home!” —KS
Price: $29.99 for 44 strips (originally $45.99)
4. 45% off a bendy u-shaped reading light perfect for illuminating your books when you’re sitting on the couch, lounging in bed, on an airplane, really wherever.
Promising review: “I have tried many book lights over the years. All have been complete disappointments for one reason or another. This book light, however, is perfection. It is comfortable to use, flexible/bendable, allows me to read at night without waking up my partner, has multiple light settings and is even rechargeable. It also comes in handy during power outages, when I wear it around the house to light my way- as good as any headlamp! I can’t recommend this book light highly enough.” —B.B. Katz
Price: $17.99+ (originally $29.99, available in two styles and eight colors)
5. Up to 25% off a chic medallion-patterned area rug that’s soft, protective, and mashine washable. It won’t slip, either!
Promising review: “I recently purchased an area rug for my living room, and it has been a fantastic addition. The rug is stylish, with vibrant colors and a modern design that complements my décor beautifully. It’s also incredibly soft and comfortable underfoot, making the space feel cozier. The quality is excellent, with durable fibers that seem resistant to shedding and easy to clean.” —Nayro
Price: $126.99 (originally $169.99, available in six sizes and 13 colors)
6. 40% off a super slim portable charger since it won’t take up a lot of space in your bag but will quickly power up your devices again and again — one reviewer used it to charge their phone and iPad “multiple times” on a single flight.
Promising review: “This thing is amazing. It’s the perfect size, about the size of a small iphone. It’s easy to use and has multiple adapter options. I love that the usb-c adapter is 2 way, meaning you can charge other things with it, or you can charge the unit with it. It comes with a little mesh carry bag which I use to keep the unit in as well as its little charging cord plus the charging cord I need for my devices. The bag is form fitting so it doesn’t increase the size or shape much – still about the size of a small iphone with the unit and the cable in it. I went several weeks, maybe a month or 2, without using it and when I grabbed it to charge it up to prep for an outing, it was still fully charged and needed no recharge. What other chargeable devices do that? I can’t think of one. I’ve used this to charge my phone on the go, my airpods, and my macbook pro during meetings. I have yet to deplete the charge on this in a day’s use. I like the material this is made of, a soft sort of silicone surface, but not sticky. It’s easy to grip and hold onto. And it’s sleek and attractive, unassuming. Highly recommend. If you’re wondering what portable charger to buy, buy this one.” —Becky
Price: $17.99+ (originally $29.99, available in four colors)
7. 46% off a bamboo charcuterie board because you’re finally ready to make snack time a gourmet affair with the most aesthetically-pleasing spreads. ~Spooky charcuterie~ anyone?
Promising review: “There is a reason this lovely item has almost impeccable reviews. Honestly, I’m not sure why anyone wouldn’t give this item a perfect review. I have used this cheese board multiple times to display a beautiful and tasty charcuterie assortment for family and friends. There is literally nothing that I would change about this item. It has surpassed all of my expectations. It is so beautiful, is sturdy and very easy to hold and move, is very easy to keep clean, has very useful ridges for holding bread or crackers on the sides, and is the perfect size. The person who handcrafts this particular item is a UNITED STATES VETERAN who deserves all of our love and support for this amazing piece of art. I would purchase this item for anyone as a gift, as I and my guests have enjoyed it so much! Probably my favorite Amazon purchase ever!” —Amazon Customer
Price: $12.97 (originally $23.97)
8. 39% off a Garmin Vivoactive 4 for a smartwatch focused first and foremost on fitness monitoring. It’s got over 20 sports modes, including GPS tracking, and lots of helpful metrics (like pulse ox, respiration, stress, sleep, heart rate, hydration, and more) *plus* the ability to stream your playlists, pay with a digital wallet, and set up safety and tracking alerts!
Promising review: “This smartwatch does everything I need. Along with the free phone app, it generates an enormous amount of interesting data about my walking, cycling, sleeping and other activities. It’s nice to see the maps of where I’ve gone, although using the GPS features significantly reduces the battery life. The customizable watch faces are attractive and provide useful information. This watch has so many features that it took me quite some time to explore many of them.” —short guy
Price: $199.99 (originally $329.99, available in two sizes and four colors)
9. 33% off some fun star-shaped pimple patches since you are a *star* who will not let a little pimple ruin your glow. Just stick one of these cuties on and let it do the work to pull out the pus and ickiness.
BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven’t come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic!
Promising review: “I LOVE the look of pimple patches on myself (as weird as that sounds) and absolutely hate the semi-clear ones, since they just draw my eyes to something that’s SUPPOSED to be invisible. So I easily fell in love with the Starface pimple patches — but the issue with those is they’re SO expensive and don’t work at all. THESE, however, have immediately sucked everything out of my face. I love them and literally wear them all the time. So many people have complimented me, saying, ‘Oh my gosh, I love how you just wear stickers on your face; it’s adorable.’ These also work as [an alternative to] the TikTok Shop ones that are really popular right now and are cheaper! 10/10 from me :)” —evalyn evoke
Price: $7.99 for 240 stickers (originally $11.99, available in various styles and sizes)
10. 25% off a pair of TikTok famous cooling pillows you’ll think came straight from a fancy hotel. Why, you ask? Because they have a breathable and supportive plush gel fiber filling, which according to reviewers, feels just like those magical hotel pillows that always lead to the best sleep.
Promising reviews: “I decided to trust a TikTok that I saw featuring these pillows and checked out the reviews here and saw the hype. They are SERIOUSLY THE BEST PILLOWS EVER! Trust the reviews. Took two minutes to fluff up to use and both my fiancé and I are having the best sleeps now.” —Ellen
“These had great reviews but I was still a bit skeptical. I’m a bit of a pillow snob. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft, but firm. My head isn’t sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Buy them. Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You’ve found the pillows you were looking for.” —Marissa Urey
Price: $59.99 (originally $79.99)
11. 50% off a TikTok-famous veggie chopper here to make slicing and chopping all those veggies a piece. of. cake. The bottom part even acts as a storage container too!
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: “I finally decided it was time to give one of these a try. I always keep chopped bell peppers and onions in my freezer to have ready for fajitas, chili, etc. I dreaded the job of chopping everything so much that sometimes I would even have to throw away bell peppers and it went bad before I got to them. So, for the loss of all of those peppers, I decided to compensate by getting one of these. What would take quite a while to do in the past now just takes a few minutes. And all of the pieces looks so uniform and will cook so much more evenly! I wish I had of done this so long ago!” —Paula Bond
Price: $24.97 (originally $49.99, available in four colors and five styles) — clip the “$5 off” coupon on product page for this price.
12. 42% off some clever flying insect traps designed to lure gnats, fruit flies, and other pesky bugs to their sticky surface — and then trap them there forever! Victory is yours! Muahahaha
Promising review: “I have an Aerogarden and any time you’re keeping moisture around plants you might get fungus gnats. I would use the stick attachment on the vacuum to suck them up but they come back quickly enough that I felt like I would never get rid of them! Enter these tiny little butterfly stickers of gnat death! I hung one in front of my AG using the little hook and these morons all flew to their doom! Now my hydroponics are gnat free! The only drawback is you have to dispose of the whole trap to get rid of their little carcasses, but thankfully the big package of gnat traps makes it pretty cheap per trap! So I’ll be keeping these in stock!” —PghFinest
Price: $6.99 for 12 traps (originally $11.99, also available in larger pack sizes)
13. 20% off a mini wooden mushroom lamp so you can light up your desk with some ~fungi~ fresh vibes.
Promising review: “I’m more impressed than I thought I would be. Product packaging was unexpectedly nice and it even came with two little mushroom houses (I put them in the soil of some of my indoor house plants). The light is very well made and so cute. It’s going to go on my patio bistro table (not pictured here) and I can’t wait to see how it looks at night. I already bought another. Highly recommend.” —Sara Patti
Price: $23.99 (originally $39.99)
14. 35% off an Amazon Fire 55-inch 4K UDH smart TV allowing you to stream all your favorite shows, movies, and other media content (plus free live TV channels) in ultra high-def quality. Best of all, you can use the voice-control remote to make Alexa do all the navigating for you!
Promising review: “Easy setup. Quick app set up. Scan qrg code and allow app access- that easy. Picture quality is amazing. No issues with volumn. Easy to navigate to apps and change order of apps. Quick setup with cable. Plugged in HDMI and done. Apps are all in one place and when you search and if something is streaming on multiple platforms it offers options to choose from. Easy to get to cable by using voice “hdmi” if connected that way or if you download the streaming app then access that way. I encourage the streaming app because if searching for a movie it will include search from cable streaming app, but if using HDMI it will not search content BTW I’m so happy with this product I’m writing my first ever review!!” —Nina J.
Price: $339.99 (originally $519.99)
15. Or, 50% off an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K if you want to transform your current TV into a smart TV. Just use this little gadget to stream Netflix, Hulu, and other media apps in ultra high-def — no HDMI cords or Bluetooth connectivity required!
Promising review: “I purchased a simple model FireTV stick 6 years ago. I was happy with it until this past year. I noticed a lot of my streamed shows were laggy and often the audio and video would unsync. I upgraded my internet service and bought a powerful Wifi router. I un-installed extraneous apps and made sure everything was up to date. Nothing helped. I slowly realized that the FireTV stick was obsolete. My TV is not 4K, it was purchased just after those were released and too expensive. But it is a high quality HD TV. But I purchased the 4K FireTV stick since I will probably have to replace my TV in a few years, maybe. And I am glad I did! No more lag. Audio/video stays synced. No ‘hiccuping’ skips during streaming. And the quality of the picture is awesome. I can only imagine what it would look like on a 4K capable TV! I highly recommend it. I also love the extra capability of the remote. It had no problem detecting my TV and allows me to change volume and turn TV on/off. No more juggling with the TV remote. I could swoon. Lol.” —Kindle Customer
Price: $24.99 (originally $49.99)
16. 27% off a nifty 6-tier corner bookshelf which looks more like a trendy art sculpture than a piece of functional furniture. But hey, in your living room, it’s gonna be both.
17. 48% off (plus an extra 20% off!) a Japanese chef knife since it’ll have you feeling like the next Top Chef. According to reviewers, this blade is super duper sharp and slices through just about anything with extreme ease and precision.
Promising review: “Love love love this knife. I didn’t realize such an inexpensive kitchen utensil could be so high quality. I have used this thing to cut everything from beef, chicken, seafood, veggies, and more and it does it with ease. It feels super fancy too. Definitely recommend if you want to get a quality knife without breaking the bank.” —Nolan
Price: $33.99 (originally $65.99) — be sure to clip the ‘20% off’ coupon on product page to save even more!
18. 21% off a bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel if your feet are in desperate need of some TLC after all the walking you’ve been doing lately Simply soak your feet, apply the gel, and then rinse after about 5–10 minutes to reveal soft, smooth skin once again.
Promising review: “Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love.” —Cheri whisker
Price: $14.99 (originally $18.99, available in two scents)
19. 42% off a Breville espresso machine for the serious coffee aficionados out there. Yes, this is a bit of an investment, but reviewers say it’s so worth it. Just think: all your favorite espresso drinks right from the comfort of your own home! 😍
Amazon
Promising review: “This machine pulls a great shot of espresso! Takes a little getting used to, but once you figure it all out it will give you a consistently good shot of espresso every time! The built in tamper and the “razor” to level out the grounds are a nice touch, as is the storage underneath the machine itself. Love that it has a built in frother and a hot water spout for other things like hot chocolate, tea, etc!. Nice large water tank helps go longer in-between refills.” —AJ
Price: $349.95 (originally $599.95)
20. 31% off a silky-soft satin pillowcase because it feels ~divine~ to sleep on while also helping to prevent hair damage or skin breakouts. Talk about a Win-Win!
Promising review: “I love this product for the price. I have had these pillow cases for almost a year now and have not experienced any thread pulling, tears, or pilling (with a cat that likes to sleep with us!), and no skin care bleaching or sunless tan staining. They wash super easy, dry quick, and are very comfortable to sleep on. I am the sleeper with one arm under my pillow if you get it… and these aren’t too slippery. I also enjoy the “pillow pocket” for the open end of the case (not even sure what to call that). It’s better than nothing, although I did prefer the zipper closure on previous brands I’ve had.
I got these because I had an itch for a bedding reset and needed fast delivery, affordable, and stylish satin cases. The pillowcases fit the bill in all categories and will be sticking around for a while. Especially for the price. If you are in search of a satin pillowcase for skincare, hair care, health and comfort, this will do the trick. I have routines and other factors of course, but I have noticed throughout the duration of owning and using these pillowcases that my cystic/hormonal acne and psoriasis has diminished immensely.” —Kiley
Price: $8.99+ for two (originally $12.99, available in four sizes and 39 colors)
