Got a vacation on the horizon? From fancy cruise dinners to roaming city streets, you're going to want to pack smart. While big plans call for great outfits, wrinkled clothes are not invited.

Best of all, it's down to just $24 during the Amazon Spring Sale.

If you're traveling for an out-of-town wedding or need to get wrinkles out on the go, this compact steamer will give you so much bang for your buck. In fact, this is the best price we've seen it marked down to in years — you're saving nearly 50%. That said, this is a lightning deal that'll disappear once it's 100% claimed, so you'll want to act fast.
It's popular for many reasons, including its uncomplicated nature, ease of use for travel and fun factor. Yep, "fun" was a recurring descriptor in the reviews. The heat panel is stainless steel, which is anti-rust and anti-oxidation — and it lasts longer than aluminum models. Plus, it has a conveniently long cord.
The handheld design and the extra-long 9-foot cord make it a cinch to move around, so you can complete the task quickly, easily and some even say joyfully. The petite size of this 1.7-pound wonder makes it particularly popular for travel — it's like a mobile spa treatment for travel-weary outfits.
The Hilife Clothes Steamer isn't just for everyday garb. The manufacturer recommends it for use on everything from wedding dresses to plush toys, and users have loved how it's made fast work of curtains, comforters and more. Here's what Yahoo Home and Garden Writer Kristin Granero has to say: "The Hilife Steamer was incredibly effective at removing the wrinkles from my silky skirt — and that was with only a few passes of steam. For being so powerful, it's also incredibly gentle and fast (it took seconds to heat up and only a few minutes to de-wrinkle my skirt from front to back)."
More than 80,000 shoppers are also in love with this steamer.
Pros 👍
"Let me tell you, this clothes steamer is like a magic wand for your wardrobe," raved one buyer. "It's like the Harry Potter of home appliances — waving its wand (or nozzle) and making your clothes look like they just came out of the dry cleaners."
"This is a great little steamer!" wrote another satisfied customer. "I hate to iron and don't need my clothes absolutely perfect, just nice and presentable, and this does the trick! Very easy to use, quick to heat up and does a great job [of] getting wrinkles out!"
A third superfan said, "If you don't have an iron, this is the next best thing. It literally takes one minute for it to heat up, then you are ready for wrinkle-free clothes. I'm obsessed with this."
One jetsetter wrote that it was the "best small steamer I've had!" adding: "Heats fast, has great steam output and with the extra long cord, I'm able to hang the garment on the shower rod to steam. Really convenient for taking along on a recent trip."
"I used this steamer on my fiancé's wedding shirt and it worked way better than I was expecting!" exclaimed a five-star fan. "I have tried using irons in the past and have actually ruined shirts, so I wanted to give a steamer a try and I was not disappointed! Very easy to use!"
Cons 👎
"Easy to use!" echoed a generally pleased reviewer. "I used this for several items of clothing, and I was so pleasantly surprised! The only complaint I would have is that the water runs out too quickly. It still does a lot of clothes, though."
A final shopper said it would've been nice if "it had a stand for clothes," but stressed that "it works well and is effective at removing wrinkles."
If you are wishing for wrinkle-free clothing at home and on the fly, this may be your $24 ticket. Happy travels!
And to keep your clothes clean while you're away from home, these Tide Liquid Travel Sink Packets are good to have on hand:
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Everything You Need To Know About Amazon Prime Day 2025

Amazon's biggest sale of the year—Amazon Prime Day 2025—is officially on the horizon. The retail giant confirmed that it'll be launching this year's Prime Day sale in July, but its specific dates have yet to be released. Assuming the sale follows the same format as years past, Prime members will have 48 hours to take advantage of deals on thousands of items from major brands like Dyson, Apple and Yeti, as well as Amazon's own devices and products. Find out everything we know so far about Amazon Prime Day 2025, and a few early deals you can shop ... More now. Beyond its press release confirming that Prime Day will return in July, the e-tailer has been pretty tight-lipped about what shoppers can expect. But we can make some predictions based on recent years and current shopping trends. Below, we've answered the most commonly asked questions about Prime Day 2025 and rounded up some of the best Amazon deals you can take advantage of early. Amazon Prime Day is a summer sale that was first introduced in 2015. At its start, Prime Day was a single-day event meant to celebrate the company's 20th anniversary. Since then, the sale has transformed into a two-day annual affair showcasing major discounts on thousands of products. Since 2022, the e-tailer has also hosted an October Prime Day, though that's not its official name. The official dates for Prime Day 2025 haven't been released, but we're predicting the sale to fall sometime in the middle of July. The retailer often hosts Prime Day during the second week of the month, though it has deviated from this pattern in the past. Technically, there's only one Prime Day each year. However, for the past three years, Amazon has run a similar savings event in October. In recent years, it has also started running annual says that are open to the general public (not just Prime members) including the Big Spring Sale, Amazon Pet Day and the Summer Beauty Event. Time will tell if Amazon will continue to add to its annual sale schedule. No, Amazon Prime Day isn't a sitewide sale. That said, you can still find hundreds of thousands of discounts across nearly all product categories from brands like Sony, EltaMD and, of course, Amazon itself. Just keep in mind that you have to be a Prime member to take advantage of the deals. The answer to this question largely depends on what you're shopping for. If you're in the market for Amazon devices, tech and small appliances, you'll likely find some great deals over Prime Day. The same goes for beauty and personal care essentials—Amazon has really stepped up its game in these categories over recent years. However, there will inevitably be plenty of lackluster offers mixed in with the good ones. We always recommend checking the price history of an item by using tools like CamelCamelCamel or checking other sites for price comparison before adding it to your cart. Our editors research the price history of every item we feature in our content, so shopping Forbes Vetted Prime Day deals lists is another way to ensure you're getting a good deal. You don't have to wait for Prime Day to find great deals on Amazon's site. The e-tailer is known for offering some of the best prices and widest variety of products online all year long. Here are a few offers worth checking out now. Amazon Sonos is known for its high-end audio gear and the Move 2 is no exception. Besides immersive audio and automatic Trueplay tuning, the newer speaker also has a longer battery life (up to 24 hours on a single charge), an IP56 rating against water and dirt and comes with a charging base. Why It's A Good Deal: This discount matches the best price we've seen for this speaker. Amazon I credit this portable flosser for helping get me into a better flossing habit. While a water flosser can't completely replace a regular flossing routine, having this portable machine handy in my shower is a great way to keep up on my daily maintenance. You'll have to fill up the reservoir a couple of times to get a solid clean and I recommend using rechargeable batteries, as you'll need to swap them out periodically. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the best price we've seen for this portable flosser since 2022. Amazon This is the first discount we've seen on the PlayStation 5 Pro. The set includes a 2 TB SSD and a Dual Sense controller. Keep in mind that the model does not come with a disc drive, so you'll only be able to play digital games. To help with that, you can also check out PlayStation's Days Of Play Sale to save on a Plus membership, games and more. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the first notable discount we've seen on the Pro model. Amazon These popular Sony headphones offer noise cancellation, up to 30 hours of battery life, voice assistant, multiple device pairing and more. This discount is available in black, silver and the blue colorway pictured above. Why It's A Good Deal: These headphones dropped to $198 at the end of last year but this is the best price we've seen since then. Amazon A power bank is a must for any traveler. You never know when you might need some emergency battery boost. I brought this Anker model on a extended trip with friends recently, and it was the most used item among all of us. You can attach your phone magnetically and prop it up with the kickstand for hands-free use, or attach a USB-C charging cable for fast charging. Why It's A Good Deal: This is only $3 shy of the best price we've seen for this charger, and the lowest it's dropped since March. Amazon If you already have a PlayStation but you need an extra controller, this is a very nice price for the latest design. It offers haptic feedback, a built-in mic and headset connection. You can also connect the controller to your Mac or PC if you prefer something handheld over a keyboard and mouse. Why It's A Good Deal: This is a rare discount and less than a dollar shy of the best price we've ever seen for the PlayStation DualSense. Amazon La Roche-Posay is known for its gentle (but effective) products that are great for sensitive skin. This discount is available in the tinted and non-tinted formulas when you add two bottles to your cart. Why It's A Good Deal: This offer matches the best price you can find for a set of this sunscreen online right now. Amazon Grab this Yeti for your next lake day or a summer picnic. The carryall is a soft-style bag that's tough, waterproof and has internal dividers to help keep your items organized. Just keep in mind: It is not a cooler, so it will not keep your items cold. Why It's A Good Deal: This is the best price we've seen for this Yeti tote. Amazon This robot vacuum and mop takes two chores off your list. I have this machine at home and it's a lifesaver when it comes to daily maintenance. While I still have a vacuum for deep cleans, it's perfect for keeping the house feeling clean throughout the week. I also love to run it ahead of guests coming over, for a hands-free touchup while I focus on other tasks. Why It's A Good Deal: This matches the best price we've seen for this model outside specialized coupon promotions. Amazon Most Of us have heard about the Stanley Tumbler by now. The 40-ounce vessel keeps ice-cold water at your fingertips all day. Several colors are on sale right now, but the pictured Shale colorway above is the best price. Why It's A Good Deal: This discount is $1 short of the best price we've found for this popular tumbler. Amazon I'm a recent Kindle convert. A physical book is great, but the Kindle's easy and almost-immediate access to books (including your local library's online catalogue) is hard to beat. Not to mention, it's much easier for travel, whether you're headed on a long summer vacation or just over to the park. The kids' version includes 6 months of Amazon Kids+, a kid-friendly cover and a 2-year worry-free guarantee. Why It's A Good Deal: This matches the best price we've seen for the updated model so far. Amazon Our favorite espresso machine overall offers premium features in an accessible and user-friendly design that's easy to clean. The set includes a built-in bean hopper and grinder, 15 bar pump, steam wand and more. Why It's A Good Deal: This deal is the second best price we've ever seen for this popular model.

Tom Felton to Reprise Draco Malfoy Role in ‘Harry Potter' on Broadway

Tom Felton, who rose to fame as Draco Malfoy in the 'Harry Potter' film franchise, is reprising his role as the boy wizard's blond archnemesis in the Broadway production of the show, for a limited engagement beginning in November. He will be making his Broadway debut with his turn in 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' — his first return to the character in 15 years — and will be in the show through March, according to a news release. Felton said in a statement on Wednesday that being part of the Harry Potter films had been one of the greatest honors of his life. 'Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in 'Cursed Child' this fall, I'll also be the exact age Draco is in the play,' he said. 'It's surreal to be stepping back into his shoes — and of course his iconic platinum blond hair — and I am thrilled to be able to see his story through and to share it with the greatest fan community in the world.' The Broadway show takes place 19 years after the original series ended. Draco is now a father, and all grown up with Harry, Ron and Hermione, send their children to Hogwarts. Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, producers for the show, said in a joint statement that Draco left an indelible impression on Harry Potter fans around world and that Felton's return to the franchise will offer Potterheads a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see him again. 'This moment is powerful on many levels,' they said, adding that the moment was charged with nostalgia, evolution and emotion. 'Tom's return to Hogwarts bridges generations of fans and breathes new life into a beloved story.' Since appearing in the 'Harry Potter' films, Felton has acted in the 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' and 'A Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting' movies. He also made his West End debut in 2022, as the star of '2:22 A Ghost Story.'
