I spent an hour digging through the land mine that is Amazon Haul — Here's what's worth buying, and how you can save an extra 40% off during Prime Day
It's the final hours of Amazon Prime Day. If you're not all spent out, there's one final deal destination to explore, and that is Amazon Haul.I've only recently given much notice to this flashy section filled with a hodgepodge of items in all categories and quality. This new deals section is very reminiscent of what you may find on Temu, Shein, or the chaos that is TikTok Shop, but backed by the reliability of Amazon. To incentive you to try it, Amazon is offering you 40% off your entire Haul purchase. Yes, I tried it myself, and when I hit checkout, my entire cart dropped by 40%. Check back in two weeks ( that's how long you're quoted for shipping) to see my official haul. I've found some real gems, and even some viral TikTok deals, like Kate Spade dinner plates, a fare amount of Adidas, and even a 59 cent spoon rest in the shape of a Ravioli, that is practically free once you factor in the though, this special 40% off your cart expires at 11:59 PST.A quick takeaway of my findings: Dash's classic Rapid Egg Cooker gets a pink Peeps makeover. It can whip up hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, and even a Peeps-shaped omelet in minutes. This cute little ravioli-shaped spoon rest is cheaper than a gumball when you factor in the 40% off deal. This lightweight throw blanket with fringe detail is a beautiful accent piece for your sofa or bed. These rechargeable under-cabinet lights automatically turn on when motion is detected, making them great to add to a kitchen, stairwell, or closet. There are three light settings, and a charge can last up to two months. This electronic lighter elevates your candle lighting experience. It has a safety switch to keep it from accidentally igniting and charges with a USB-C. Rather than stick your head in your microwave and hack away for half an hour at the food crud that has been in there since 200 heating sessions ago, use this accessory to loosen it up first. If you're a Squishmallow collector, this plushie is not a want, but a need. This battery-powered water flosser has four different modes, including a sensitive and a gum massage setting, and six different nozzles, including an orthodontic tip for irregular teeth, braces, and implants cleaning, and a tongue scraping tip. A charge lasts up to 30 days. Upgrade your shower with these top-rated shower steamers, which are made with essential oils. The eight pack is a variety pack to find your favorite scent to unwind or refresh with, including eucalyptus, lavender, mint, rose, grapefruit, watermelon, citrus, bergamot This TonyMoly gift set includes two rose sheet masks, honey apple hand cream, and a mini wash-off mask. Drip a few of these glow drops into your favorite moisturizer to give yourself a sun-kissed tan. The formula is buildable and features ingredients like Cocoa Butter, Grape Seed Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Grape Seed Extract, Green Tea Extract, and Peptides. At this price, I'm buying a pair of these cozy slippers with a faux fur lining for everyone I know. If you love a cute loungewear set, you'll be living in this striped one for the rest of summer. It's available in nine colors in sizes small to XXL, and the shorts have pockets. Big win. Tell me what's more exciting to find on the haul: classic cotton boxer briefs to stock up on, or random knickknacks? This mesh beach bag is right on trend for packing along for your next vacation. Though not the most stylish shoe at the beach, these are definitely the comfiest. Our team is quite in love with these cloud version on Amazon Haul costs under $5 and is available in seven colors. Long live the obsession with friendship bracelets. This kit includes 1,600 beads, so you can dream up so many song titles, inside jokes, and phrases for your arm candy. Bag charms are having a moment, and Vera Bradley is the middle of a comeback. In an This cute key ring is the perfect homage to the classic duffle bag we all toted to and from sleepovers. Get the party started with this adorable retro Bluetooth speaker. It's portable, but also looks right at home displayed on a shelf. Reviewers say it has decent sound quality and battery life, and good volume range, too. This wall outlet extender with a surge protector also has a convenient shelf, which is perfect for resting your phone while it charges, not to mention 6 outlets, two USB and USC-C ports, Level up your content creation with these lavalier microphones to home in on your voice and blur out the background noise. Haul is Amazon's new storefront for exploring the best discounts and lowest prices on a range of items, from fashion to household essentials. Amazon says it's able to offer such low prices because the items are imported from out of the country and sold straight from the importer. The program launched in November ship for free once you hit a $25 minimum threshold, and can take as long as two weeks to deliver. There are typically incentives to buy more as you unlock additional savings when you spend more: 5% on orders over $50, and an extra 10% off on orders over $ returns are accepted within 15 days on items that cost over $3, and return shipping is free. This differs from Amazon's standard 30-day for more discounts today? Check out our roundup of all of the best Prime Day deals, or browse Amazon's website for the full selection.

35 Gems From Amazon That Will Just Plain Make Your Day
FYI: Amazon Prime Day is coming! Dr Teal's "Hawaiian Bliss" Epsom salt magnesium soak, a ~limited edition~ blend of red sea salt, papaya, and hibiscus, reviewers are so in love with that a ton of them are buying extra bags (or literally hoarding them) before the brand runs out. One reviewer went so far as to call it "heaven in a bag!" A limited edition (!!) Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" so good that reviewers say it's better than Carmex for healing and better than Summer Fridays for quality. Lip care that also tastes like you're perpetually eating a s'more for less than $5?? My friends, life is good. An absolutely darling Kate Spade lunch tote at such a reasonable price point that honestly, it's worth buying just to make your coworkers jealous alone. Let the office lunch thief TRY and take snacks out of the chic bag that everyone knows is yours! Moroccanoil's Mini Must-Haves Sampler, which is so affordable that I'm not not pinching myself to make sure I'm awake. Reviewers especially love these teensy versions for traveling in ~luxury~ on the cheap, and for trying these beloved splurgeworthy products without committing to the whole price first! A cult-favorite Persian Garden fragrance rollerball with warm florals, ocean air, and light amber that reviewers compare to Glossier's $78 "You." This is from TikTok-famous small business brand Kuumba Made, known for its luxury scents at ridiculously affordable prices, so you know they're on their game — reviewers especially love how clean and long-lasting this sweet but elevated fragrance feels, and how nicely it plays with other scents! McCormick's "I'm A Total Spud" Potato Topping Seasoning you should try if you're not afraid to get a little feral about your air-fried, mashed, and baked potatoes — this blend of salt, garlic, and asiago cheese is so mouthwateringly delicious that you'll be dumping it on everything from popcorn to grilled cheese to guacamole. A two-in-one nausea relief inhaler designed to work FAST on spontaneous nausea, motion sickness, morning sickness, and general queasiness (having a human body is hard). You can either use it as a scent inhaler or rub it directly on the tip of your nose for relief. Eight Saints Firm Intentions Neck Cream, a super gentle but suuuuper effective formula that reviewers with sensitive skin swear by for helping firm the skin on their neck and chests without irritating it. This works gradually over time to help firm skin and reduce the appearance of lines, but many reviewers notice a difference on the first use! A set of limited edition Band-Aids with retro flower patterns so the next time you get a little ouch, you can be like, "wound care, but make it fashion." An SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar, a K-beauty staple with a curved balm stick style that makes it super easy to apply, and a non-sticky, white cast-free formula that plays ABSURDLY well with makeup. If you're looking for a lightweight "soft matte" sunscreen to protect your skin, this is your new BFF. A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit for anyone on their "happy accidents" beat — this itty bitty set comes with everything you need to create three tiny masterpieces of your very own. A decadently scented, ultra-hydrating vanilla cedar body wash filled with hyaluronic acid and peptides for deeeeep hydration and elasticity — that said, buy this at your own risk. You are going to be tempted to publicly smell your own delicious self ALLLLL day long. Patchology's "Rosé Toes" moisturizing foot mask to give your dry, cracked heels some shea butter, strawberry oil-infused relief in 10 minutes flat — not unlike the glass of rosé that hits at Friday happy hour. Reviewers are genuinely impressed by how much of a difference these make in so little time! A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. A 3-in-1 charging cord to juice up your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. (It's giving witchcraft??) This just solved all your "welp, everything's dying and there's only one outlet in this car/on this flight/in this teensy hotel room" problems for good. A family-friendly mini waffle maker machine so you can have a genuine but manageable god complex making your own "mini Eggos" from the comfort of your home. (Shoutout to the cinnamon toast ones, which were peak '90s breakfast.) Billion Dollar Brows Eyebrow Powder to fill in your brows as naturally and realistically as the $23 Anastasia Brow Duo version for less than half the price. Reviewers are stunned by how effective this is and how long it lasts, especially at such a low price point. A set of biodegradable ultra-soft face towels inspired by the much pricier Clean Skin Club version — a lot of folks with sensitive skin and acne *swear* by these, particularly because it helps prevent exposing their skin to bacteria that may collect in ordinary reusable towels.

It features an adjustable "stem" neck and three brightness settings, making it the perfect option for late night reading and extra desk illumination!

A light up solar frog figurine for your garden or porch so when you come home from that "just one drink" dinner past midnight, this croaky lil' fella can lovingly judge you for it. A fire escape wall shelf so you can add a nostalgic city aesthetic to your room, plus make your knick-knacks reenact scenes from Spider-Man movies. Bonus — this is a great alternative to the $200 (!!) version at Urban Outfitters. A slouchy open-back yoga top reviewers compare to a popular mall brand's $48 version 👀. If you're looking for a loose, soft, breezy option that won't overheat you in the summer, this "workout in the front, party in the back" shirt has got your name on it. A super effective and strangely whimsical foaming drain cleaner for anyone who wants to make cleaning a whole aesthetic. This gentle but powerful foam pulls up gunk and cleans out drains in sinks, bathtubs, and floor drains, helping prevent plumbing issues and making everything smell ~squeaky clean~.

Reviewers swear by these not just for helping prevent itching, but to reduce the redness and swelling faster. A set of lightweight, oh-so-dainty ruffled pajamas inspired by the $89 Piyama version. Revievers are in loooove with this set for summer, saying the fabric is so high quality that it feels like linen. If you're looking for breezy warm weather loungewear, this adorable set fits the bill!

All you have to do is add three ounces of cold water, 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, and the tea sachet into a glass, and you'll have a delicious cocktail in one minute. A set of obscenely adorable flower vase fridge magnets that look so hyper realistic that it's only a matter of time before a family of fairies moves into your kitchen, confusing it with their own. This arrives with the vases separate from the flowers, so you can mix and match the colors yourself! A set of reusable rainbow poopy "water balloon," a set of environmentally-friendly splash toys that prove poop really can save the world. Magnets keep the balloons closed, so all you have to do to refill is dunk them in a safe water source and snap the shut again. Let the (kinda gross, but still cute) games begin!!
