1. A 2024 13-inch MacBook Air for $250 off with the ultra-fast and ultra-powerful M3 chip. It’s surprisingly lightweight and just half an inch thin, so you can tote this to class and the library easily.
Amazon
Promising review: “This laptop is a complete game changer. I am usually a PC guy but I ended up getting a Mac to change things up. The way you can text and easily connect any Apple device to it so easily completely changed how I do my work and leisure shopping. The M3 chip is also wildly fast, and the extra RAM definitely helps me browse more things at once. I haven’t edited anything yet, but I’m sure it would be perfect for any job that is needed. The color is also perfect, as I haven’t seen any fingerprints yet. Would recommend it completely!!” —Patrick Schneider
Price: $849 (originally $1,099; available in four colors) — be sure to clip the $50 off coupon (on top of the 18% off) for the full discount!
2. A soft-sided two-piece carry-on set for up to 50% off if you already spent enough $$$ on your vacay flights and don’t want to shell out a ton more for luggage that’s just going to get shoved under a seat.
Promising review: “This set is so cute! We are a family of four, and realized we didn’t have any luggage to take with us on our upcoming vacay. I bought all four of us a set of these (Red, Black, Teal, and Purple). They look just as the pictures show, spacious, and come with a mini lock and key to lock your zippers together on the big bag :)” —Alissa
Price: $34.80+ (originally $69.99; available in 10 colors)
3. A smart Apple Watch Series 9 for up to 30% off if you need help tracking your fitness goals. This watch can sense irregular heartbeats, see how much time you’re spending in each sleep stage, and even contact emergency services in the event of a fall or crash.
Promising review: “I bought this to keep track of my heart rate and it has been so useful in many more ways than I intended! I’m able to log workouts, check ECG, answer, receive calls and texts, and check certain things like MyChart or my Dexcom app. I’m also really bad at keeping track of my phone and it has a nice feature to ping my phone to where I can hear it and find it even if I muted it! Battery life is amazing, band is comfortable, and the watch works great.” —Harley
Price: $279.99+ (originally $399; available in two sizes and nine colors)

4. Crest 3D Whitestrips for 35% off, which are a quick and easy way to make sure your smile is as dazzling as possible and boost your confidence.
Amazon
It comes with 44 strips total — enough for 20 regular treatments and two one-hour express treatments
Promising review: “I haven’t used Crest Whitestrips in over five years. Since then, my teeth have stayed really white, and I frequently get compliments or questions about how I got my teeth so white. I decided to get a box to boost the whiteness of my teeth. Wow, I was shocked at how much these have improved! Before, the strips were really flimsy, hard to remove from the package, and really hard to keep on your teeth — the old ones would slip or bunch up. These are such an improvement! The new strips remove easily from the plastic they are on. The strips are REALLY adhesive! These will not budge! Since I’ve purchased it, I have only used it about 4 times, and I can already notice a difference. Other people have noticed, too. I think these are well worth the money and work, as well as the professional treatment. I have had friends who have done professional treatments, and their teeth are not as white as mine. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a brighter/whiter smile!” —Vanessa5o5
Price: $29.99 (originally $45.99)
5. A powerful yet gentle Waterpik flosser for 50% off whose 10 settings will ensure you get a custom (and thorough) clean. Use this for just one minute everyday for healthy gums that’ll make your dentist proud.
Promising review: “It amazes me how I can brush my teeth very thoroughly and still remove food debris using the Waterpik. My gums are no longer super sensitive because they are not being sliced up by dental floss and plastic picks. It’s not especially portable and I don’t take it with me on vacation but I use it every day at home. Wish I had gotten one years ago!” —OfTheWoods
Price: $49.99 (originally $99.99; available in four colors)
6. A pair of noise-cancelling Bose headphones for up to 43% off if you need a little help focusing on the task at hand when your roommates are being a little on the loud side. Offering up to 24 whole hours of battery, you’ll be able to blast your favorite song on repeat literally all day long!
Promising review: “Bose is known for superior quality and functionality and these headphones deliver all that and more. Bose does not disappoint with this model on any level. From the superior sound quality to the design, comfort, and wearability, Bose is a five star with this pair of high-quality headphones. I’d give it ten stars if it were possible. I just can’t say enough about the superior noise cancellation and sound quality in addition to the wearability. The excellent ergonomic design allows extremely comfortable long term wearing. The performance is impeccable as I am able to wear them all day to drown out annoying noises even when I’m not listening to anything.” —Chuckles !
Price: $199+ (originally $349; available in four colors)
7. Catrice “Instant Awake” Under Eye Brightener for 33% off, which became the internet’s holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone’s old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference.
The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Check out a TikTok of the brightener in action.
Promising review: “Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it.” —Monica T.
Price: $4 (originally $6; available in two shades)
8. A slim, single-serve Keurig machine for 50% off because it can brew both hot and cold coffee! If you’re an iced-coffee-year-round type of person, this is perfect for you.
Promising review: “This is replacing my regular coffee pot. The coffee tastes so much fresher and is easier to clean. It brews very fast, like a minute.” —I. Angilan
Price: $49.99 (originally $99.99; available in two colors)
9. Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Hydrating Multi-Balm for 35% off, a TikTok-famous Korean beauty product that I personally have NEVER seen this cheap before (!!) — this easy peasy all-in-one moisturizer for your face, lips, eyes, *and* neck is formulated with salmon complex and collagen to help reduce fine lines and boost radiance. Reviewers especially love how instant the hydration feels, and swear by it for that ~glass skin~, “just out of the shower” effect.
Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me, will def try the others!” —Kristy
Price: $14.99 (originally $22.99; available in five styles)
10. A portable Bissell cleaning machine for 34% off because it’ll easily take care of those stubborn pet stains on your carpet, furniture, and more. Its large-capacity tank means you can go longer between refills. Deep clean made easy!
Promising review: “This product is a lifesaver. My toddler vomited all over a fabric recliner (yikes!). We thought it was ruined because it not only looked horrible, it smelled even worse. A friend recommended this product and I gave it a try. WOW! The chair looks and smells like new. It even got the old milk stains out; all of this in less than five minutes. I had to let the chair dry overnight, but it looks great now.” —Michael
Price: $81.99 (originally $123.59)
11. A cordless Dyson vacuum cleaner for 30% off so you can take care of messes in a jiffy. It has a built-in power trigger so it maximizes/minimizes suction power depending on what and where you’re cleaning. And its Motorbar cleaner head detangles hair as it cleans!
Promising review: “I absolutely love this Dyson. I have had others in the past and this is by far my favorite! It is lightweight and easy to move around. We have a lot of stairs in our home, and I no longer have to lug around a heavy vacuum. The battery lasts long enough for me to vacuum my entire home; it is 3600 square feet. The attachments are great and it is easy to clean. I love it!” —Kmillerfam5
Price: $399.99 (originally $569.99)
12. A set of extra soft cooling bed sheets for 37% off that so many reviewers with insomnia, night sweats, and overheating issues swear by that you might never consider buying another set of sheets again. Reviewers also are obsessed with how well these sheets wash and maintain quality over time. Bonus? These come in so many colors it’s basically *impossible* not to find one to match your room’s aesthetic.
Amazon
Sets come with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases (with only one pillowcase included in the Twin size).
Promising review: “These are the real deal!! I found them from a TikTok and my husband actually said after the first night, ‘Let’s just replace all of our sheets with these, they’re so comfortable!’ It’s a beautiful blue and white pattern. They wash well and breathe at night — I am always hot but these stayed cool. Definitely buying more!” —Julia Monroe
Price: $33.96+ (originally $53.97; available in sizes Twin—California King and 41 colors)
13. A TP-Link Wi-Fi extender for 56% off to boost your service throughout the whole house, even in those dead zones where your movies or files always buffer.
Amazon
Promising review: “My neighbor is gracious enough to share her Wi-Fi but I don’t get a great signal throughout my place… This was the perfect fix and super easy to install. Almost plug-and-play. I downloaded the tether app and connected the network to the extender then logged on to the new network and now have full signal through my place on every device I have on the network. 👍 All you need is the password to the desired network OR access to the router and you’re in.” —Bradley Martinez
Price: $19.99 (originally $44.99)
14. An investment-worthy Samsung Frame TV for 34% off that will instantly become the central hub of your home, just because it is that darn beautiful. Its motto is “TV when it’s on. Art when it’s off” — and TBH, the images speak for themselves.
Mallory Mower/BuzzFeed, amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Samsung Frame in action.
You can even toggle through Samsung’s “art store” to find a display to match the vibe of the room (or just your vibe of the day). It also has Alexa built in, so you can open apps, change the channel, search for movies and shows, play music, and control your smart home devices from the television.
Here’s what BuzzFeeder Mallory Mower has to say about it: “This is honest and truly the best splurge I have ever made. It has massively upgraded the look in my living room. My husband loves the photography options and I love all the classical paintings. As someone who loves changing up my decor, I find that being able to update the display images has been so fun. The quality is fantastic while watching movies and TV…but I’m pretty sure I love it as a piece of art in my home even more.”
Price: $997.99+ (originally $1497.99; available in six sizes, six styles, and with or without expert installation).
15. A ceramic Meridian body hair trimmer for up to 22% off if you hate the uneven shave and nicks you get from a traditional razor. This trimmer won’t leave behind any razor burns or bumps, and because it’s waterproof, you can use it in the shower!
Promising review: “LOVE THIS. It doesn’t give you a bare shave like a razor would, but it’s close enough for me. Definitely marketed for men but a great option for the ladies! No more razor bumps or itchiness when hair grows back!” —Samantha Robbins
Price: $38.99+ (originally $49.99; available in three colors)
16. An automatic food dispenser that’s up to 42% off for eliminating any lingering worries over if you’ve fed your fur baby or not. It holds up to 50 portions and can release food up to six times a day!
Promising review: “The mechanism is so quiet, it makes no more sound than I did when I would feed her manually. Add that to the programmable portion sizes and meal schedule, and this actually solves *two* of my problems: my cat’s desire to have breakfast at 5 a.m. and her tendency to eat too much and then throw up. I can set this to give her a half-portion at 5 and then follow it up a few hours later with a second half-portion to get her through to dinner. All the wins!” —Chris Galbreath
Price: $52.24+ (originally $89.99; available in two colors)
17. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper for up to 50% off that’ll have you feeling like a golden god in your kitchen — this gadget julienne, chops, spiralizes, and slices vegetables in an instant and has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan or dish without any mess.
amazon.com, Amazon
Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets.
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review: “Makes life so much easier. I can’t imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container.” —Amazon Customer
Price: $23.99+ (originally $29.99+; available in four colors)
18. A medium-firm Casper mattress for 30% off because the one you’ve been tossing and turning on is old, has dips and dents, and is too soft for you to actually get a good sleep on.
Amazon
Promising review: “I would die for this mattress. We tried Saatva and it was $2000 and horrible. We bought this one and it’s the comfiest, most lux mattress I’ve ever slept on. I had a friend stay with me and she slept in it and also said it was the comfiest mattress ever. We are upgrading to a king size and I am just so excited. The quality and the price point are unmatched. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS MATTRESS. I also have some lower back issues and this mattress is so good for those with low back pain. BUY IT!” —Claudia
Price: $276.50+ (originally $395+; available in sizes twin–California King)
19. A classic KitchenAid stand mixer for 22% off so you can give your arms a break next time you want to bake something from scratch. This is one of those things you’ll buy once and enjoy forever.
Promising review: “I had a stand mixer prior to getting this one, but it was lightweight (literally and performance-wise) compared to this one. So far, I’ve used it for general batter mixing and with very stiff cookie dough, which it handled like a champ. Can’t wait to try it out on bread dough. It came with a wire whip, a dough paddle, and a bread dough hook. It is very heavy and doesn’t budge on the counter while I’m using it. It’s extremely powerful and handles everything I can throw at it with ease. I’ve been upgrading to better quality tools in my kitchen and this mixer did not disappoint. The aqua color is beautiful in my kitchen, too. It was pricey but is well worth the price. It pays off in quality and performance. Highly recommended.” —farmkiti
Price: $349.95 (originally $449.95; available in a variety of colors)
20. An Alexa-compatible iRobot Roomba for 44% off that you can schedule to clean your floors so you don’t have to. Its advanced sensors will help it learn to navigate your home so it can get under furniture and avoid falling down stairs. It also has multi-surface brushes to pick up dirt on carpet and hardwood floors. Clean smarter, not harder.
Promising review: “This is a great little vacuum. It cleans really well, and the battery goes for a couple of hours. It always docks itself easily when done and never misses a spot in my 1100 sq ft condo. It will go over rugs easily and fits under everything with no problem. I have two Maine Coons, and it does a great job of cleaning up their hair and any litter tracking. The drawer needs to be emptied every couple of days, but it’s not a big deal for me. I have tile floors and carpet in the bedrooms. It cleans both well. It even cleans the litter mat in from of the litter box. This was well worth the money.” —Renee
Price: $149.99 (originally $269.99)
21. A set of eight fridge organizer bins that’s 34% off for making it easier to actually take stock of what’s in there, so you can get to that guac before it goes bad.
Promising review: “I finally organized my refrigerator. I love how it came out. The bins are nice and clear so you can see everything, and the sturdiness is incredible. Definitely would recommend. I will be buying more to organize other things in the kitchen and bathroom.”—Amazon Customer
Price: $18.98 (originally $28.78)
