KitchenAid Quilted Cotton Terry Cloth Oven Mitt Set

Orig.

Capri Blue Pura Smart Home Plug-in Diffuser Kit

Orig.
$86

$69 at Amazon

“You know those homes that just have the perfect smell as soon as you walk through the door? I want mine to be that way! I’ve tried a handful of diffusers, candles, and plug-ins, but haven’t found anything I’m in love with. This is a deal that I’ve been watching since Amazon Prime Day was announced, and our scent experts on the team, Julia and Morgan, both recommended this to me. They’ve tried it with different scents and so I’m planning to make this my big Prime Day purchase… just as soon as the sale price drops again!” —Meg Lappe, senior editorial director, commerce

Smart Sheep 6-Pack Wool Dryer Balls

Orig.
$20

$14 at Amazon

“Another editor once shared this tip: Prime Day is an excellent time to stock up on everyday household essentials. That’s why I’m planning to buy a new batch of wool dryer balls while they’re on sale, making them a totally reasonable and practical deal. About a year ago, I made the switch from using disposable dryer sheets to wool dryer balls. This set of six from Smart Sheep makes drying clothes easy, and I feel good knowing that I’m choosing a more sustainable way to soften my clothes and keep them static-free.” —Michelle Lau, shopping editor

Casper Original Pillow (Standard, 2-Pack)

Casper Original Pillow for Sleeping, Standard, White, Two Pack — Amazon

Orig.
$117

$88 at Amazon

“No matter what time of the year it is, a good pillow is a must. I found the Casper Original Pillow at a deep discount during the holidays, and it’s really upgraded my sleep situation. It’s a generously padded pillow, but you have the option to take out the extra padding. I’ve owned mine for about seven months now, and the fluff hasn’t flattened much either. And, I was able to find the pillow in a two-pack, which meant an upgrade for both me and my husband (who’s also a big fan).” —Marisa Viglione, senior shopping editor

Sijo Doz Sheet Set

Orig.
$85

$68 at Amazon

“I’ve been sleeping on these breathable bamboo sheets all spring and summer, and they’ve been a game-changer. Cool to the touch and wonderful silky in feel, they keep me and my husband (who’s an extra-hot sleeper) at a comfortable temperature all night long. With a reasonable price and stellar durability, they’re a total steal on sale.” —Heather Adams, senior shopping editor

Afina A-01 Filtered Shower Head

Orig.
$249

$148 at Amazon

“My showerhead has never been upgraded in 20 years, and I am so excited that this filtered one is on sale for Prime Day. It’s a great deal and helps filter out harsh chlorine and other particles that aren’t so nice to your skin and hair.” —Mia Ingui, editor

Nicetown Blackout Door Curtain

Orig.
$17

$11 at Amazon

“I am in the process of moving and our new front door is all glass, so I’m looking to add extra privacy with this curtain. I love that it’s renter-friendly (hello, Velcro), and has an attractive way to tie it up during the day when we want to see out our front door. One of my favorite hacks for Prime Day shopping is looking for the small, ‘nice to have’ upgrades that I’ve held off on because they didn’t feel like necessities. But now, with a great sale price, they’re an easy win.” —Emma Phelps, associate shopping editor

Devoko Patio Porch Furniture Set

Orig.
$120

$86 at Amazon

“These chairs have been used and enjoyed all over our outdoor space; front yard, back yard, deck, patio. They fit in wherever I put them, and they’re super lightweight so they’re easy to move and adjust when guests come over, too. The included table is also a nice perk—it’s the perfect size for drinks and magazines.” —Dena Ogden, associate shopping editor

over&back Hand-Screened Tablecloth

Orig.
$69

$55 at Amazon

“I’d like to think of myself as being in my ‘hostess era’; but, truth be told, I have yet to have a dinner party with more than two other guests. I have plenty of serveware, but lack linens. This brand is new to Amazon and I’m keen to make the tablecloth mine if it drops in price—but it’s already affordable. The hand-screened, block print pattern is giving Furbish Studio (without the price tag).” —Morgan Bulman, shopping writer

Marshall Emberton Speaker

Orig.
$170

$125 at Amazon

“This speaker is one of the best portable speakers I’ve tested over the years. It currently lives in my car all year round (it’s a pre-stereo model) and Bluetooth connectivity is always seamless—despite my partner and I and other friends all connecting to it at various times in the day. It is also light enough (just 1.5 pounds) that I can take it to the park or beach with me, and not feel weighed down. If you are ever looking for a big thank-you gift and don’t know what to get someone, this is it!” —Meg Lappe, senior editorial director, commerce

Sutera Stone Bath Mat

Orig.
$60

$46 at Amazon

“I will never use another bath mat again after trying this stone one from Sutera. It completely transforms your bathroom, both in look and convenience. It makes me feel like I’m at a spa every time I step out of the shower. Plus, it’s super absorbent, sturdy (so you don’t slip), and doesn’t need to be frequently cleaned. I found that traditional bath mats required frequent cleaning and often had a bad odor or remained damp over time. This changed everything.” —Julia Fields, associate shopping editor

Roborock S7 Max Ultra Robot Vacuum-and-Mop Combo

Orig.
$1,300

$800 at Amazon

“Cleaning up after my Shiba-Inu and American Eskimo mix pup, who is known to leave a trail of hair everywhere he goes, used to be an ongoing battle. But not anymore! Pet hair has never been easier to remove from floors and clothing than with this incredible robot vacuum. Its features include the ability to self-empty, mop, and vacuum all from its unit.” —Daniela Galvez, senior shopping editor

Levoit Core 300S Smart True HEPA Air Purifier

Orig.
$150

$120 at Amazon

“Air purifiers typically go on sale on Prime Day, and I’m really hoping this one does. It’s our best overall on The Spruce, and I purchased a similar model for my dad on Black Friday a few years ago. We don’t have one in our house currently, and I think we could really use one with all of the dust and dog hair we tend to collect. Both my husband and son have allergies, so I’m hoping this helps,” —Jenica Currie, shopping editor

Nori Press Travel Steam Iron

Orig.
$119

$95 at Amazon

“As someone who impulsively traveled not once, but twice this year across the pond, my need for a travel steamer became ever the more evident. Irons and ironing boards in hotel rooms were scarce or simply too old for me to risk using. And ahead of each trip, I had every intention of snatching up this little gadget, but couldn’t bring myself to pay full price for it. Needless to say, this Prime Day, I’ll be watching its price tag like a hawk.” —Morgan Bulman, shopping writer

Insignia 55-inch Class F30 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV with Alexa Voice Remote

Orig.
$349

$230 at Amazon

“I just moved and am in desperate need of a new, much larger TV. TVs can get very expensive, though, so I’ve been holding out specifically for Prime Day to get a good deal on this one.” —Aliyah Rodriguez, associate editor

JBL Go 3 Portable Speaker

Orig.
$50

$30 at Amazon

“I have bought several of these as gifts and received it as a gift myself this year. This is such a fun and versatile gift. It comes in several colors, can be used outdoors, and has a hook for different placement options. The sound is great and it hooked up to my phone via Bluetooth without any issues. We have it on several gift guides for kids as well.” —Jenica Currie, shopping editor

Marlow Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow by Brooklinen

Orig.
$104

$79 at Amazon

“We added these pillows to our wedding registry and someone purchased them for us. We’ve been obsessed with how comfortable they are ever since receiving them. I like to keep both zippers open for a more plush feel, but my partner prefers to have one zipper closed and the other open for a medium firmness. They’re more resilient than a down pillow but offer a similar softness that is especially great for anyone looking for a hypoallergenic pillow.” —Emma Phelps, associate shopping editor

HBselect Travel Makeup Bag

HBselect 2Pcs Double Layer Travel Makeup Bag — Amazon

Orig.
$20

$17 at Amazon

“I’ve gone through multiple different travel makeup bags and none of them worked as well as this one. It comes with enough space to fit all of your favorite products and the top layer is perfect for storing your brushes. Its compact design can easily fit in any carry-on or overnight bag.” —Jane Kim, associate editor

Editor’s Note: The editor received samples for editorial consideration, but all opinions are their own.

Apple AirTag 4-Pack

Orig.
$99

$89 at Amazon

“There’s nothing more stressful than losing your luggage—am I right, or am I right? AirTags are such a reliable way to give yourself additional peace of mind when traveling. I’m also adding holders to my cart—they offer convenience and are easy to install,” —Jamie Abarca, senior editorial project manager
