A 10-in-1 Anker power strip for 44% off — bringing it to the lowest it goes for. This multitasking marvel features six outlets, two USB-A outlets, and two USB-C ports in a sleek design with a 5-foot extension cord. It's compact enough to travel with if you need backup on your next work trip or family vacay, and it also has a flat plug so you can finally use that awkward outlet behind your couch.
Promising review: "This is a super useful power strip to have at my desk. I'm able to plug in both monitors and the laptop plug while also having USB ports available to charge smaller items. I also use one in my craft room where I have a setup for a monitor, several device chargers, and I sometimes do my nails, so I need to plug in my curing lamp and my dust collector. It's nice that it sits flat on top of the desk for easy access." —Angie KPrice: $19.99 (originally $35.99; available in two colors and also with a 10-foot extension cord).
A two-pack of Lume's whole body deodorant and sweat-control lotion for 20% off because summer is right around the corner and we all need a little backup to keep things fresh and dry in the sweltering heat. Use it on your pits, feet, under-boob area, or anywhere else that tends to get extra sweaty while you're out enjoying the sunshine.
This is designed to keep odors at bay for up to 72 hours. Unlike the original Lume lotion, this version is formulated with aluminum for sweat review: "I love the new Sweat Control formula! To put it to the test, I applied it in the morning after showering. It endured a day and night of hot flashes, followed by morning exercise and cleaning house the following day. There was no stink at the end of the second day. I also love that it isn't turning my tops yellow like the old formula did. I highly recommend the new Sweat Control formula." —Lisa $29.59 (originally $36.99; available in five scents)
A Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush for 40% off, bringing it just a few cents above its lowest price ever! It has a pressure sensor to warn you when you're brushing too hard, two intensity settings, a two-minute timer, and basically everything else that will make your dentist super proud of you.
It comes with the charger, toothbrush base, and one toothbrush review: "I love this toothbrush. It has me brushing my teeth several times a day. The sonic vibration is very gentle yet effectively cleans your teeth. The charging station is straightforward to use and looks great. It has two speeds, which I didn't realize at first. Overall, I love this toothbrush. It's the best toothbrush I've ever had." —AustinPrice: $29.99 for the white model (originally $49.96, available in two other colors for a higher price)
A set of blackout curtains for up to 42% off, meaning you can snag these for their best price ever. Trust me, you'll want these on those early summer mornings when the sun feels like it burst through your window like the Kool-Aid Man to personally wake you up. Oh, and they also help reduce ambient noise by up to 30%, so they'll drown out the garbage truck when it barrels through at 6:2tooearly in the morning.
Promising review: "These are the best blackout curtains ever! Heavy, quality material hangs beautifully, blocks all light, and keeps cold and sun out to help the room temperature. Throw them in the dryer with a damp washcloth, and that removes most wrinkles. I am replacing all other curtains in my home with these. Buy them, you won't regret it!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $21.40+ (originally $36.89; available in various sizes and colors at various prices)
An ultra-sleek Shark handheld vacuum for 38% off, bringing it down to a Black-Friday-worthy price. This isn't like the cheap Dustbuster that's ironically collecting dust in your broom closet — this one is super compact and has a powerful motor, so you won't have to go over the same spot over and over. The freestanding charging dock also has space for the included accessories, like the pet hair attachment that will effortlessly lift all the fur your pup sprinkles all over your home like fairy dust.
Promising review: "I have two of these and bought a third one as a gift for a family member. The suction is amazing, and it will even thoroughly pick up cat litter, straight pins, and unpopped popcorn kernels. For maximum strength you must, however, keep the filter cleaned and make sure the holes in the outer filter are clean and open. I wash the filter well with a toothbrush and Dawn and let it air dry. It can be reused many times before needing replacement. The battery lasts a long time on one charge. It is also attractive. There are no downsides that I can think of. It is well worth the price." —GaleDarPrice: $79.99 for the slate color (also available in four other colors for higher prices).
And a Roborock robot vacuum and mop for a whopping 47% off — that brings it back to its lowest price! It has everything you want from a robotic vac — app functionality, long-lasting battery, and automatic recharging. It can also vacuum and mop simultaneously, so you can give your Swiffer a permanent break.
Promising review: "Awesome for cat owners who hate litter on the floor, I have it on a schedule to vacuum the areas affected by cat litter a few times a day, and the problem is completely eliminated. The app notifies you to remind you to empty it, and when maintenance is needed, which is great, it is kind of loud, but it's a vacuum, that's to be expected." —Joe GPrice: $159.99 (available in two colors).
A Luseta shampoo and conditioner set for 29% off, meaning you'll get each for just under $12 a bottle. The super popular biotin formula is designed to help thicken your hair and add some volume, while argan oil and keratin add extra moisture and shine.
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This shampoo and conditioner have done wonders for my hair! I do not have to use much of the shampoo or conditioner, and my hair feels softer, less frizzy, and is easier to brush, and it air dries faster. It's luscious, and it smells really clean after you wash with it. I will be ordering again, definitely trying out the other shampoo and conditioner sets they have! I highly recommend this product if you have long, coarse, frizzy hair." —Rebekah $22.78 (originally $32; also available in six other formulas at various prices).
The Nespresso Vertuo Plus for 30% off — making it just $18 more than it was during Black Friday, so now's the perfect time to beat the rush and snag a new unit for iced coffee season. This can make both coffee and espresso at the touch of a button, and there's even an empty pod container for easy disposal.
Promising review: "I have to say that this has got to be the best cup of coffee that I have had in decades. Major coffee chains are not my thing, as they taste burnt or bitter. The half-a-dozen that I have had since getting this delivered two days ago are absolutely flawless with added cream. I have done pour-over, drip, and the other popular pod system, which, although quick and convenient, is nothing by comparison. Albeit that the pods seem pricey, think about how much you drop at a national chain. This is light years better and worth every cent. The unit as a whole is brilliant and exceptional." —Jeffrey $118.30 (originally $169; available in four colors)
A travel backpack for up to 40% off so you'll be fully prepared for all your upcoming summer vacay plans. This is the perfect size to fit under an airplane seat, and it's designed to open like a suitcase so you can make use of every inch of storage space. Yes, there are even compression buckles so you can squeeze in way more outfits than you actually need for that three-day trip.
Promising review: "Looked for WEEKS for a backpack to bring on my Japan trip as a personal item (I needed to make sure I could bring back a bunch of things and still fit my clothes lol) and this worked perfectly for travel! I thought it was comfy to wear even when it was stuffed — and we walked a LOT with our stuff. It has plenty of space and is easy to fit everything you need, even if you pack it extra full — plus the buckles are a nice add to bring it down a bit in size. Great quality. Also, in case anyone else is looking for flying, I flew United, Air Canada, and ANA with zero issues in size as a personal item." —Caitlyn $17.99 (originally $29.89; available in 14 other colors in various prices)
Or! A compact but jaw-droppingly spacious underseat roller bag for 20% off PLUS an extra $10 off coupon — it's small enough to count as a personal item on most airlines. It has a padded laptop compartment and helpful pockets on the outside that are perfect for everything from AirPods to portable chargers, so this is about to become your travel BFF for any work trips. No more fighting for overhead space!
Promising review: "This is a great carry-on bag! It has numerous pockets and storage areas to keep everything organized. I've taken it on three trips to Europe this year, as well as a few domestic trips, and it fits well under most airline seats (unless the seat has a footrest). In those cases, it's easy to fit it in the overhead compartment. On a couple of occasions when airlines requested that carry-on bags be checked at the gate, this bag was OK for me to carry onboard since it's not too large (yet it holds a lot). In an emergency, I was able to fit 3 days of clothes, sweaters, a jacket, toiletries, shoes, and electronics in this bag because it's so easy to organize it in numerous compartments. It wheels great, too. I've traveled a lot over the years, and this is the best carry-on bag I've found. I bought two of them!" —DM7233Price: $49.99 (clip the $10 off coupon to get this price; available in nine colors)
A set of mulberry silk pillowcases down to their lowest price ever at 37% off because summer is looming and you deserve something buttery smooth and cooling to sleep on. Reviewers say these are perfect for hot sleepers since they stay cool to the touch. Also, silk is meant to be gentler on your hair and skin, so these pillowcases basically double as a beauty secret.
Promising review: "Two gorgeous silk pillowcases with semi-hidden side zippers. I have long, naturally curly hair, and using these pillowcases really helps prevent damage to my hair! The seams are well done, and the silk is buttery smooth! They are excellent for travel or at home. I do hand-wash mine, or if I machine wash, I use a fine mesh laundry bag. This is my second set of silk pillowcases and I plan to get more. When compared to satin, which does the job but doesn't have the zippered closure and does give me static bed head, the silk is superior!" —DianaBananaPrice: $16.26+ (originally $25.99; available in 44 colors and four sizes)
And a set of pillows for up to 29% off (a.k.a., their best price ever) that are soft enough to feel ☁️ cloud-like ☁️ yet supportive enough for side sleepers! Several reviewers compare these to hotel-quality pillows, so you might just feel like you're taking a luxurious staycation every time you hit the hay.
Once you unpack them, many reviewers suggest letting them sit for at least 24 hours so they fully expand before using review: "Finally pillows that feel like you're sleeping in a fancy hotel! I love these pillows. They feel firm, but can sink into them. They keep their shape after sleeping and fill the pillowcase nicely. Well priced too." —Natalie $16.99+ (originally $23.99; available in three sizes and various pack sizes)
Or! The Tempurpedic Tempur-Ergo neck pillow for 41% off, which is the lowest it's been in the past year. This one has a unique curved design to support your neck, and reviewers say the firm texture makes it ultra supportive and comfy.
Promising review: "I had cervical spine surgery. I bought my first pillow of this brand through my physical therapist per her recommendation. Best pillow I have ever had. Very firm support for your head... I started using this one right out of the package." —Jason JPrice: $57.99 (originally $99; also available in a small size)
Sensarte's 12.5-inch nonstick skillet for 39% off that has thousands of rave ratings from reviewers who love its even heat distribution and easy cleanup. It's also oven-safe for up to 302 degrees Fahrenheit, and the handle is designed to stay cool while cooking. Imagine how smoothly your omelets will slide onto your plate!!
Promising review: "These pans are incredible. I bought one because it was PFOA-free and dishwasher-safe, but kept my old pans just in case. After three months, I gave away all of the more expensive pans that I had been using and bought a couple more sizes of this pan. After four more months using them all, I'm blown away by how well they work and have held up. So seven months in, these are the best pans I have ever owned, even having spent more than twice as much on big-name brands." —NickPrice: $30.39 (originally $49.99; available in three colors and four other sizes)
A pair of teeth-whitening pens for 30% off (with coupon), which are SO much easier to use than traditional white strips. Just swipe it on and let the gel sit for 30 minutes — and eventually, you'll see years and years of stains start to disappear. This is a must for all my fellow coffee connoisseurs.
Promising review: "I've tried a bunch of teeth whitening products in the past, and they've always left my teeth feeling sensitive. It's been a long time since I've tried a whitening product, and I was skeptical about trying another one, but after searching around, I decided to give it a try, and I am happy to say that I have not felt any sensitivity at all! The instructions say to use it 2x a day, but for now, I'm just using it 1x a day as I want to see how my teeth feel and adjust. I've been using the product for about a month now and I have been able to see some results, but only after I took a photo did I realize it has been working so fast. I have pretty white teeth, so I'm pretty amazed how well it works. It may take longer for those with darker teeth." —AdamPrice: $13.26 (clip the 30% off coupon to get this price; originally $18.95)
An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator for 22% off — it eliminates the ~stank~ from everything from dirty carpets to nasty trash cans. It also couldn't be easier to use: just spray it on and let it break down those odors while leaving behind a delicious citrusy scent.
Promising review: "This product is a miracle worker. My toddler had been having accidents on the sofa. I had been scrubbing tirelessly almost every week to get the urine smell out. I tried the baking soda, water, etc., but nothing worked! I was self-conscious about family visiting. Until I came across this product. When I tell you the URINE SMELL IS GONE, it's gone! This product is a must-have. Buy now." —AmazonianPrice: $13.99 (originally $17.96; available in two sizes and multipacks)
An absolutely genius trash bag dispenser for 29% off so you can ditch the flimsy cardboard box they come in. Simply place it on your counter or mount it to the wall — but don't be surprised if you suddenly start looking for excuses to take out the trash.
Promising review: "Love these baskets. I've only had them a week but they are exactly what I was looking for. I bought the set of two for our garbage bag rolls (one kitchen size, one lawn bags) and installed them just outside by the door into the garage. So convenient, very sturdy, easily installed. Great buy." —BnksmomPrice: $14.99 (originally $20.99)
A 3-in-1 gap cleaning brush for 22% off PLUS an extra 15% off coupon — it'll clean all the nooks, crannies, and crevices on your water bottle that you didn't even know were there. Use the U-shaped silicone brush to quickly scrub around the lip of the cup, then flip over to the bristle brush to clean the lid (or pop up the hook brush to really get into those tough-to-reach grooves).
Promising review: "I have a number of Yeti and other lidded mugs, cups, and glasses I use at the office and clean out in the communal break room sink. I could see a buildup that I just couldn't get to in the lids, and it was grossing me out! This little tool does the trick! It gets in between the rubber ridges in the rings, all around the lip of the cups and lids, and cleans everything from milk residue to lipstick smudges. I have been using it five days a week for several weeks now, and no signs of wear on the tool. Cleans up great, dries well, does the job." —AlfiePrice: $5.94 (clip the 15% off coupon to get this price; originally $8.99; available in six colors and multipacks)
An extremely sleek set of knives with an acrylic block for 31% off that looks straight from the future. It even comes with a knife sharpener to keep them as sharp as the day you bought them.
The 20-piece set comes with 14 knives, acrylic stand, a pair of kitchen scissors, a peeler, a two-stage knife sharpener, a knife guard, and a cleaning review: "These knives are great! They stay super sharp, they're comfortable to hold, and I love how much counter space it leaves as opposed to a big bulky knife block. Fits perfectly in my minimalist kitchen!!! And it looks great on my counter being one of the few things that I keep on my countertop! It is the perfect amount of knives without being too many knives (I don't like things in excess)! I have never had a cheese knife before, and this baby is my favorite one in the whole set! LOL! It slices through hard cheeses like butter! Have not tried on soft cheese, but I'm sure it'll be great because it is super sharp! I can't say enough about how much I love these knives!!" —Sadie AllenPrice: $44.99 for the 20-piece set (originally $64.99; available in three colors and also in a 12-piece and16-piece version with a wooden block).
A popular foot exfoliant for 28% off to get your feet in tip-top shape for the return of sandal season — and the results are equal parts disgusting and oh-so-satisfying. Within one to two weeks, the dead skin on your feet will literally start to peel off (gross!) and reveal the supremely soft skin that was hiding underneath (satisfying!).
Promising review: "I was dubious at first, having seen this on TikTok. I can now confirm that it works as directed, and the results are amazing. 24 hours after I soaked my feet in the plastic bag, nothing happened. Then, 48 hours later, it started working. 72 hours, and it was in full working mode. Like other reviewers, I also suggest just letting the skin come off naturally. As someone who wears flip-flops often, I opted for socks and shoes during the shedding period to capture the skin, even when sleeping, because who wants chunks of dead skin in their bedsheets?! (it sounds so gross, but you'll understand once you do it) The shedding lasts for a few days. The results are incredible. Will use this again!" —VanessaPrice: $14.38 (originally $19.99; also available in six other formulas, a large size, and various packs)
A small but impressive power scrubber for 22% off that can break down all the caked-on grime in your shower so you can turn your bathroom into the clean, shiny sanctuary you truly deserve. You can use it on basically any tough spaces (think the tight areas around your faucet, window sills, etc) and it claims to work twice as fast as a manual brush, so you'll be saving so much time.
Psst: Batteries are included!Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown had to say: "I'm obsessed! This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute. Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease."Price: $19.95 (refill heads and attachments also available).
