Promising review: "Love this necklace! It's dainty and good quality. I have started wearing it every day. I got an M for my daughter's name. The price was very affordable for something simple but elegant." —AmandaPrice: $15 (originally $42; available in every letter)Check out more BaubleBar deals here.
Or up to 30% off a layered necklace set that has three classic chains — herringbone, curb, and rope — that'll elevate any outfit, even your dog walking uniform. Thanks to their gold plating, the necklaces are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making them a great budget option when solid gold is out of the question.
Promising review: "I love the way these layering necklaces look! I haven't taken them off since I received them and they look brand new still. I've worn them in the shower, pools, and beach, and they are still perfect." —Allison KwongPrice: $13.99+ (originally $19.99; available in three finishes and 12 other styles)
Up to 25% off a pair of bike shorts with an unreal following — over 7,500 people wrote glowing 5-star reviews praising these for their durability, comfort, high-quality material, and useful pockets. They're squatproof, lightweight, and going right in your cart.
Promising review: "If you're wondering whether these shorts can handle heat, hills, and a hefty helping of cinnamon bread, let me assure you: THEY CAN. I wore these to Dollywood during what I can only describe as a sauna with roller coasters, and these babies held up like champs. Fit? Perfect. Comfort? Like a gentle hug for my thighs. Breathable? I didn't feel like a baked potato despite 90+ degrees and 98% humidity. They didn't ride up, roll down, or betray me in any way, even while chasing my kids and sprinting to beat the line for cinnamon bread. And the pockets? ROOMY. I fit my phone, a park map, and a half-melted snack bar in there with zero bounce. If these shorts can survive Dollywood, they can survive anything." —AprilPrice: $14.98+ (regularly $19.99; available in women's sizes XS–3X, three inseams, and 11 on-sale colors)
Up to 40% off a breathable button-down you can style in a gazillion different ways, like under a cardigan, over a tee, or open with a bikini or bodysuit underneath.

Up to 28% off an exercise dress with built-in shorts, pockets, and an inner lining for extra support so you can look cute while killin' at your next tennis match, pickleball tournament, or golf outing. Plus, it's def stylish enough to pair with some platform sandals and wear to a lunch date.
Promising review: "Cute. Comfy. Pairs cute with sneakers and lace socks. The back is cute too. Holds the girls in place. I'm glad I purchased it." —Alisha MichellePrice: $18.69+ (typically $21.99+; available in sizes XS–XXL and six colors)
Up to 23% off Reebok Princess Sneakers offering comfort worthy of royalty. The arch support, memory foam insoles, and soft fabric make these a fan favorite with nurses, servers, and tourists.
Promising review: "I have been buying these sneakers for over 30 years. I've probably had over a dozen pairs. They have a terry cloth type lining that absorbs perspiration and feels soft. I even wore them to work when I was nursing, and my feet and legs wouldn't ache as badly as they did with other brands and styles. Thank you, Reebok." —KimPrice: $32.98+ (regularly $42.90+; available in women's sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and five styles)
30% off a durable Simple Modern tote bag, putting it tied for the lowest price it's ever been! Similar to the popular Bogg Bag, this tote is perfect for beach days, picnics, trips to the waterpark, and any other events where you might need to hose your bag down at the end of the day.
Promising review: "I needed to upgrade my summer bag, and I am so glad I came across this one. I was really surprised at how large it was once it arrived. I got the large size, but I think it will work out perfectly. We tested it out on our picnic last weekend and it fit literally EVERYTHING. I was amazed. It fit TWO blankets on top, two lunches, two wine coolers, a wine bottle, a Yeti, snacks, and our books. At first, the price was a shock for me, but after seeing reviews and doing research, it is actually on the cheaper end, and for the quality, it is 100% worth it. SO much as I had to write our first Amazon review for it, lol. This thing is so sturdy, thick quality so it can take on some weight, bonus points for the waterproof pocket for phones, keys, etc and it is cute on top of it. 10/10 recommend this bag! If you need a smaller size, I would definitely recommend getting the medium, but if you are using it for date night, family outings, or just a bag to throw stuff in, large is perfect." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $41.99+ (originally $59.99+; available in three sizes and 22 colors)
40% off Wrangler boot cut jeans beloved by rockers, cowboys, and anyone who loves a comfy denim look. The high-waisted stunners have just a liiittle bit of stretch, so you can go about your day without feeling like your legs are in a straightjacket.
Promising review: "Let me tell you...the absolute DUMP TRUCK these jeans give you. Chef's kiss. They are buttery soft, but great quality and heavy like a well-made denim pant.

Up to 33% off a Comfort Colors tee, which has a cult-like following for a reason. As the name suggests, these shirts are capital C COMFY. They're 100% cotton, come in a bunch of vibrant colors, and have a double-needle collar that doesn't stretch out.
Promising review: "Best value and quality T-shirts for the price. 100% cotton and heavy duty compared to anything at the big box retail stores. Breathable, minimal shrinkage. Was turned onto this from a local charity as to quality and value. You can't beat the price anywhere else. You can't find the quality at most places unless you spend $50+, and even then, still maybe not." —philPrice: $6.71+ (originally $10.16+; available in unisex sizes S–4X and many colors)

Promising review: "I've been looking forever for a high-quality denim jacket with just the right amount of authentic fade but at an affordable price. I should have known to check out Levi's first! This jacket is soft yet structured. The denim has a little personality and fade but still goes with everything. The fit is right on point. Seriously it doesn't get much better than this!" —FitGirlInFlightPrice: $39.61+ (originally $79.49; available in women's sizes XS–4X, and 11 styles — not all styles available on sale in all sizes)See more Levi's deals here.
Up to 35% off drawstring pants that are pictured under "easy-breezy" in the dictionary. They're lightweight, easy to style, and give you that fun "swish swish" when you walk.
Promising review: "These are lightweight but not sheer or see-through. I'm in my 50s and have sworn off buttons and zippers on pants for the rest of my life, LOL. The elastic waist on these is soft and not constricting. Overall, these are great." —BKPrice: $14.98+ (originally $22.98+; available in women's sizes 0X–5X and 44 patterns)
24% off a sweatsuit you can mix and match for a sporty look, or wear together for the ultimate "celebrity getting on an airplane" look.

Up to 23% off a spaghetti dress that's a layering pro. Wear it alone, over a tank, or even over a button-down for a more professional look. The cost-per-wear ratio is gonna be off the charts with this one.
Promising review: "Wow! What's not to like? The fabric is thicker than expected. Pockets are a nice size. Love the dark gray color. The fabric is so soft and smooth. I could easily wear it outside of the home to run errands or go to a casual gathering with friends." —Kristina FPrice: $22.78+ (originally $29.99, typically $27.99; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 20 on-sale colors)
Up to 46% off a pair of Tommy Hilfiger chinos (the lowest price ever) in case you want people to suspect you've been on a yacht recently. Of course, they'll still look good at a farmers market, at a concert, or — sigh — on a regular boat.
Promising review: "THESE SLACKS ARE FABULOUS! They fit me PERFECTLY, like they were tailor-made. They ruffle when you handle them or walk, and they are SOFT." —Twin Rivers AC & Refrigeration inc. in fort lauderdalePrice: $42.99 (originally $79.50; available in men's sizes 29W–42W and eight on-sale colors)
50% off a two-way Kate Spade tote (the lowest it's ever gone for) that's our Platonic ideal of a purse. Pebbled leather, optional crossbody strap, cute knotted design, zippered inner pocket for valuables — I could go on! One reviewer personalized their bag with a cute, patterned strap.

23% off a floral skort so you can have all the perks of a skirt (looking adorable) without the downsides (flashing everyone when the wind picks up). Plus, you can rock this with everything from heels to sneakers to flip flops.
Promising review: "I wore this adorable floral skort on Easter, and it was perfect! The print is so pretty and springy, and the flowy design made it feel like a skirt while still being super comfortable and practical. I got so many compliments, and it looked great in photos, too. Cute, comfy, and festive — definitely a new favorite in my closet!" —Kristin.HPrice: $26.96 (originally $34.99; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 25 colors)
Up to 49% off a lacy top with a plunging V-neck if you're going for "smokeshow" for your next going-out look. Reviewers love it for bachelorette parties, concerts, and happy hour.
Promising review: "This top became one of my favorites right away. It's easy to dress up with a skirt or wear casually with jeans. The stretch is comfortable, and it doesn't lose its shape after washing. Definitely a great basic to keep in rotation." —AQPrice: $18.97+ (originally $36.99; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 19 colors)
Up to 33% off a high-neck tank that straddles the line between casual and dressy. I'm hearing word this might be the perfect "dinner with friends" top.
Promising review: "My absolute favorite boat neck tank. It fits perfectly and looks expensive. Quality is top tier." —ChaniecePrice: $11.97+ (originally $14.99+; available in women's sizes XS–XL and 10 on-sale colors)
40% off an emerald-cut silicone ring reviewers love as a stand-in for an engagement ring while they're busy doing yardwork, caring for a little one, going on vacation, etc. Its durable, pretty cute, and inexpensive enough that it won't be a bummer if you lose it.
Promising review: "Purchased because I have a baby and scratched him with my normal ring. This ring is LIFE. It doesn't get caught on things and flip and absolutely wreck your finger like my prior emerald cut did. This stretches and flips, and if it does catch on anything and it's painless and easy to flip back over." —Cordelia HPrice: $11.99+ (originally $19.90; available in six styles and multipacks)
22% off high-waisted palazzo pants, matching the lowest price they've ever been! Time to hit the beach in style and beg your friends for a photoshoot.
Promising review: "I love the way these look and have bought another pair. They are light and perfect for spring and summer. Add a T-shirt for a casual look. A silk blouse and belt for a bit of sophistication. Heels, flats, or tennis shoes change the look. Very well made, and I think I'll purchase another color." —AnnePrice: $26.06 (originally $33.59; available in women's sizes S–3XL and 39 colors)
Up to 32% off a cropped tank with a padded built-in bra that works for pretty much all your dressing needs, from layering under sweaters, to wearing to the gym, to throwing on with leggings before logging onto work for the day.
Promising review: "This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Made very well with additional lining/shelf bra and thin padding. I got the black and white, and the white can be worn on its own, not see-through at all. It's not a supportive type bra to go run in if you need support, but good for yoga and maybe walking." —J. ChanceyPrice: $14.95+ (originally $21.99; available in S–XXL and 24 colors)
30% off a compact sling bag perfect for traveling, laundry day, or any other time you need to be hands-free and unencumbered.
Promising review: "I love it so much I'm ordering more in other colors. The pocket sizes are just right, I love the quality, the strap is fantastic. I feel like I can dress up or down with this and still look fashionable. I love having full use of both hands/arms while still holding all my things." —frizzlePrice: $18.19 (typically $25.99; available in 15 colors/styles)
35% off a ribbed top with fun colorblock details that take this basic to a new level without it losing its versatility.
Promising review: "I just love this top! The square neckline adds a little something extra to a simple look. The material is soft, comfy, and has a nice stretch to it. It works perfectly with jeans for a casual vibe or dress pants for a more polished outfit. I've already gotten compliments wearing it both ways." —LisaPrice: $14.93 (originally $22.99, typically $19.90; available in women's sizes S–XL and 12 colors)
Up to 24% off a "beach blouse" for anyone looking for a versatile cover-up that hides your delicate shoulders from the sun. It's lightweight and so effortlessly chic, you could easily wear it off the sand as well!
It doesn't offer UPF protection, so remember that sunscreen!Promising review: "Not only is it a cute and classy cover-up, for the resort pool or beach, it has just enough weight to throw on over my tank tops or dresses when you enter those air-conditioned restaurants and stores in the summer and need something for the chill! It's so comfy and looks so cute. Can also wear it over a tank top tied up on the bottom with denim shorts or jeans. Seems to wear well and not wrinkle. This white shirt has been my go-to so far this summer! Liked the white so much I bought the black and the nude!" —Jennifer K.Price: $19.88+ (originally $25.99; available in one size and 25 colors; check out a version with plus-size options here)
38% off a one-shoulder smocked midi dress with ruffles for days. So many reviewers said they were flooded with compliments while wearing this, so don't be surprised when they start flying your way! Wear this pretty number out for dinner or to an outdoor wedding, and you'll look as cute as ever.
Promising reviews: "Dress for many occasions. Wore to a baby shower and received many compliments. It's flowy and can be easily styled with sneakers, sandals, or high-heeled boots. I'm in the season of multi-purposing my wardrobe, and this dress can be paired in the winter, too. Worth the money! Sometimes with these dresses, the top halter can be either too small or big, so I recommend getting true to size." —Delors"This dress is super comfy, light, and airy without being see-through. It washes well, does not shrink, and I never need to iron it." —CherylPrice: $28.37 (originally $45.99; available in 27 colors/prints and sizes XS–XXL)
Up to 34% off a two-piece lounge set complete with a crop top and flare leggings so you can live your best '00s pop star life. Reviewers love how easy it is to style and the Skims-level softness of the material.
Promising reviews: "Buttery soft. Definitely a Skims alternative. Went and bought two more colors." —Luxary"I love this set. It's form-fitting but has some stretch. The material is comfy and breathable. It's so cute!" —TaylorPrice: $18.99+ (regularly $28.99; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and nine colors)
20% off a pair of Ana Luisa teardrop earrings (*very close* to the lowest its ever gone for) similar to the popular Bottega Veneta ones, but for a fraction of the price. They're lightweight and gold-plated, meaning that even those with sensitive ears can enjoy them.
Promising review: "They are beautiful and sophisticated! They are my new favorite earrings!" —JenniferPrice: $68 (originally $85)
And 20% off an Ana Luisa pebble necklace on a delicate chain for a minimalist (but still unique!) look. It's either 14k gold or silver rhodium plated, so it's hypoallergenic and tarnish resistant.
Promising review: "This necklace is perfect to style with any outfit! It's great quality and does not tarnish. I like that the pendant is on the smaller size." —TaylorPrice: $55.25+ (originally $75+; available in two sizes and two finishes)
Up to 42% off a reversible Tommy Hilfiger belt so you're never in a situation where the outfit calls for a brown belt and you only have a black one.
Promising review: "Love this belt! Amazing quality and very elegant." —Diego C.Price: $16.24+ (originally $28; available in men's sizes 30–44 and four on-sale colors)
20% off a sleeveless bodycon maxi dress if you can't justify the cost of Skims but *would* like to look snatched for nights out. This versatile piece stretches beautifully to hug your curves, with adjustable spaghetti straps and a fishtail hem adding to its flawless fit. You can accessorize this endlessly and get sooo much wear out of it.
Promising review: "I have the Skims bodycon as well, and this is a great alternative! The Skims dress is ribbed, and the fabric is thinner and softer, but I don't think that the Skims dress quality increases proportionally with the higher price point. If I were to purchase another bodycon dress, it would hands down be this one. It hugs my figure beautifully and can be layered and styled for all seasons. It's one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe!" —Makayla CurtisPrice: $19.99 (originally $24.99; available in women's sizes XXS–XL and in 10 colors).
Up to 32% off a sleeveless halter bodysuit on its way to becoming your go-to summer top. It's super soft and slightly compressive, giving you a little extra support if you'd like to try going braless.
Promising review: "OK this is so good. I had the Zara bodysuit identical to this but it quickly got stretched out so I tried this one out. It is 10 times better than that one. The fit is perfect, it hugs you just right and is supportive enough that I won't wear a bra. Also, not see-through at all! Amazing. Need in all the colors." —Dawn E.Price: $16.99+ (originally $24.97; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 29 colors)
25% off a "pickleball" skort cute enough to wear off the court. The breathable, quick-dry mesh liner and hidden pockets make this the ideal choice for scorching summer days.
Promising review: "This skirt is so soft! The outer fabric quality rivals Lulu and Alo. The inner liner is a different fabric, doesn't ride up, and it has inner pockets! The seams and sewing are very nicely executed. It feels like a much more expensive piece. I bought them to complement my kiddos' princess dresses on a Disney Wish cruise. 🩷 We look adorable." —EmorySPrice: $14.98 (originally $19.99; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 21 colors)
Up to 35% off a Cider backless dress (plus an extra 20% off when you clip the coupon, making it the lowest price ever) perfect for frolicking through wildflowers, strolling down the beach, or twirling until you get dizzy enough to puke.
Promising review: "The best dress ever for the money. This dress, in my opinion, could literally cost $100 and be worth it. It is so breathable, fits so well, has the most gorgeous cut, has high-quality material, and the white color is very true to color. There is nothing wrong with this dress, and I cannot recommend enough!" —BreannaPrice: $22.39+ (originally $42.99, typically $38.99; available in sizes S–XL — don't forget to clip the coupon to get this price)
Up to 48% off a chic lil' shoulder purse so you can feel as effortlessly cool as a Parisian without any of the risks that come with living in Paris — getting Ratatouille'd, for example.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this purse brand! I've purchased three so far, including one for my daughter, who's in college, and she adores it. The design is stylish and cute, yet super functional. It has plenty of space — even enough for her laptop — without feeling bulky. The quality is excellent, and the craftsmanship really stands out. These bags are perfect for everyday use, whether you're heading to work, school, or just out and about. Highly recommend!" —NoraPrice: $11.89+ (typically $19.99+; available in six colors/styles)
Up to 36% off black platform Teva sandals that'll give you a little lift but still be the most comfortable shoes in your arsenal. Even reviewers with plantar fasciitis love these!
Promising review: "Love these! They were great for a multi-day outdoor festival and walking for hours at a time on vacation! Cute and comfortable!" —HelenPrice: $45+ (originally $70; available in sizes 5–12 and 16 also non-sale colors)
Up to 49% off a Brightside tank (which is normally $38 on the Madewell website, but now totally sold out) perfect for all your summer adventures. It's 95% cotton, so you know it's gonna be cuddly soft.
Promising review: "Beautiful. 😍 The material is good. Fits well." —VardanPrice: $19.38+ (originally $38; available in sizes XXS–XXL and four colors)

I have to work on the last night of Prime Day, so now I'm subjecting you to my unhinged wish list
Unfortunately, it's still Prime Day. So that means while everyone else my age is out enjoying a beautiful summer evening or watching Manhattanhenge, I'm tethered to my computer, writing about deals. The good news is that my bosses have all gone home for the day, so there's no one here to tell me I can't write an article about all the things I personally want to buy this Prime Day. If you're also spending your Friday night on the internet (by choice, or otherwise), maybe my ramblings will provide some inspiration for your own shopping. I've also included some items from my coworkers' wish lists, because they have equally unhinged and impeccable tastes. Oh, and I'm probably obliged to tell you that we're still rounding up the best deals still happening over in our Prime Day deals hub. My Amazon Prime Day wish list A big, purple, sparkly rubber bag with holes in it I was recently introduced to the concept of a Bogg Bag, and now I want one. I feel like this would be so cute for the farmer's market, right? And because it's rubber and filled with holes, I could use it as a big colander wash my farmer's market produce right inside it. I'd also like it for the beach, if I had a beach to go to. Apparently you can buy accessories, like a snack holder top that turns it into a cooler facsimile. A bright yellow showerhead I actually have a Sproos showerhead installed in my bathroom, which I tested for our guide to the best showerhead (it made our top picks!). But this bright yellow color seems like it would make my mornings extra sunny, which is something on my mind right now since I don't think I've been outside in four days. A cannabis candle I have no idea why the scent is called cannabis, because it doesn't contain or even smell like pot. My boss is a freak for Malin + Goetz candles, and she's one of the coolest people I know (hi Sally!), so now I want to be a freak for Malin + Goetz candles, too. I'm not sure I can stomach paying $50+ for a candle, even on sale, but I'll happily accept it as a gift. A jumbo stick of anti-thigh chafe It's summer in the city, which means my thighs are constantly chafing. This stuff really does work. Plus, I love Katie Sturino, the founder of Megababe and am currently reading her new book (also on sale for Prime Day, but not on my wish list because I already downloaded it on my Kindle). A new Kindle because my husband just got one and I'm jealous I already have an (aforementioned) Kindle, but I've been considering trading it in for a Kindle Paperwhite Unlimited because my husband just got a Kindle for his birthday, and I'm a little envious. His is a newer model than mine and ad-free, so I'd want the Paperwhite Signature Edition just so I can one-up him with the wireless charging aspect. A book of Taylor Swift-inspired crochet patterns This book has been on my wish list for a while, and after this week of never-ending deals, I could use a calming and Swift-centric activity. An Octobuddy for all the content I don't make If this journalism thing doesn't work out, I have dreams of becoming an influencer, and word on the street is that influencers love the Octobuddy. I figure the first step to being a content creator is getting myself one of these. Hair dye I hear the advice is to go through your order history for any deals on things you order regularly, which reminded me it's about time that I dye my hair again. My grays are starting to show through after a four-day Prime "Day." A two-pack of Scrubbing Bubbles Once I dye my hair, I'll need to clean my shower. Lillian's Prime Day wish list Lillian says all she wants for Prime Day is a pack of "healthy" soda. I told her to dream bigger, so she managed to drum up a few other "practical" items. A Poppi variety pack I'm a fiend for Diet Coke, but otherwise I'm not a huge fan of soda. Trying the Poppi Cranberry Fizz flavor on Thanksgiving changed things a bit and opened up the world of prebiotic soda to me. Through trial and error, I've found that not all flavors are created equal, but I'm interested in trying the New Obsessions pack, which has the newly released Alpine Blast and Punch Pop flavors. A new MacBook As my aging 2019 MacBook Pro force-reboots once again and continues to go less and less time between charges, I dream of upgrading my personal laptop to a newer model. I've always used a Pro, but I've been considering giving an Air a try for something lightweight and easier to travel with. While I'll probably try to get another year or two out of my current Mac, the discounted price on the 2025 MacBook Air is certainly tempting. Shokz I'm a long-distance runner, and I've been meaning to buy a pair of Shokz for quite some time. They're wireless headphones that use bone conduction technology so you can still hear your surroundings (probably a must-have, or at least a should -have, if you're running alongside cars in the city like me). They're also waterproof, which might help me avoid breaking yet another pair of headphones with sweat and rain. Jaclyn's Prime Day wish list When I asked Jaclyn to contribute to this roundup, she sent me one item on her wish list and screenshots of — I'm not exaggerating — 17 items she actually bought during Prime Day, including what appears to be three different tripods for holding your phone. I don't have time to make that many product cards, so instead I'm just having her bullet out some of the stuff she bought: Aura Carver Frame: "My college roommate got married last weekend. Here's the wedding gift I got her to display all her beautiful photos from the weekend." Poppi Sparkling Variety Pack: "It's a Prime Day tradition for me to buy myself a big variety pack of Poppi. A lot of these flavors are new to me, but I'm a big fan of the cherry lime." Slim Square Havianas: "Pookie [ Lauren's note: Jaclyn is referring to Pookie of TikTok fame ] put me on to the square-toe Havianas, but I could never justify the regular price for a pair of rubber flip flops. For $15, I'm all about it. Lancome Lash Idole Mascara: "I thought it was time to stock up on my favorite mascara. I rebuy it every time I see it at least 40% off." Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam EX, 200ml (I0088602): "I've been using the same Clinique face wash for 15 years, I still love it and feel like I'm cheating on her, but I'm curious to try this after our style editor Gabi flagged it as a must-try deal." TONEOF 66" Automatic Tripod: "I've been in the market to buy a new tripod to take better photos for style stories. This one is super portable and should be able to fit in a tote bag." JW PEI Women's Erika Topstitching Lace-Up Ballet Flats: "I thought I'd try the sneaker ballet flat. I think these look so cool, not sure if they're "me" though." JW PEI Women's Helena Pierced Mules: "These mules are absolutely works of art." Hefty Ultra Strong 13 Gallon Trash Bags: "Just so happens it was perfect timing to replace my trash bags as I pulled out the last of mine last week. These smell like a watermelon Jolly Rancher." Anker USB C to USB C Cable: "My MacBook charger looks like it has gone through the ringer. I've had a good experience with Anker products so I thought I'd give it a try." Kasas Smart Plugs: "I've had a few of these over the years, but now I want to add more automation to my house with my lighting. I like that these work with both Google and Alexa (I have both systems) and can track energy consumption." Sojos Sunglasses: "Style editor Samantha Crozier wrote about these for Prime Day. After looking at how good she looked in the photos, I'll give these tiny frames a try." A bunch of random stuff from Amazon Haul. Jaclyn did a deep dive on Amazon's Temu-like store, and purchased a bunch of crap — er, I mean — stuff along the way. Sarah's Prime Day wish list As our team's resident night owl and evening shift editor, Sarah is well acquainted with deal event delirium and way more cogent than the rest of us. Accordingly, her wish list items are probably the most reasonable of the bunch: A cute personal trimmer "I cheaped out on a no-name brand personal trimmer last year, and it forced me to reckon with a hard truth: you really get what you pay for when you buy a $10 trimmer. Its power and form factor have been disappointing, so I'm super excited to hop on this Prime Day Meridian Slimmer Trimmer deal per my close friend's recommendation. I'm superficial, and I love it when a product comes in a cute color. I'm smitten with this light blue, well-reviewed tool, and I'm excited about its waterproof design and variable length combs. Also, as our deals editor, I can resist seeing a rarely-discounted product down to an all-time low." Side note from Lauren: Now I want this, too. Our top fish oil for dogs "I try to give my dogs the best of the best, so of course I'm using Prime Day to stock up on the top pick in our guide to the best fish oils for dogs. I've already blasted through two bottles of this stuff after giving it to my three dogs daily with their meals; it's not something I can expect immediate results from, but I rest easy knowing I'm supplementing them with omega fatty acids beneficial for their long-term health. It sees sales somewhat regularly, but $20 matches the previous lowest price it's hit before." "As I mentioned above, I have three dogs, and that means a lot of cleaning up after them. Every major sales event I cover, whether it's Prime Day or Black Friday, I pick up another box of these poop bags. I love using deal holidays to buy products I'll need to buy regardless, since it's saving me money on an inevitable purchase, even if it's only 15% off." A cartridge-free color printer "I've wanted a color printer for a while, and after seeing the rave reviews of TikTokers on Epson's EcoTank printers, I knew I would be getting one. I've been keeping an eye on this budget model's price for months now, so once I saw it drop $100 for Prime Day, I jumped on it. So far, I'm pleased with the printing — it's nothing super special or photo-quality, but it does good enough for the price. Refilling the ink is super simple, and I'm excited to get some projects going over the coming months." A durable bottle-opening fish "No joke, my last fish-shaped bottle opener fell off the shelf and broke. I got this one, and it looks pretty sweet and durable. Now, it lives on my keys, displaying my love for my pet fish, the sport of fishing, and a good fish dinner." Shopping for more discounts tonight?
