LAST UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2026
01 / TECH DEAL
THE $18 FIRE TV STICK THAT MAKES ANY TV SMARTER
You don’t need a whole new TV to upgrade your setup. Plug this little Fire TV Stick into an HDMI port and you’ve got easy access to your streaming apps, live TV options, music, and Alexa voice controls. It’s one of those boringly useful little gadgets that’s even easier to justify when Amazon knocks the price way down.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because replacing your TV is considerably more expensive than plugging a tiny stick into the back of it.
~ $18, WAS $40
02 / HOUSEHOLD DEAL
THE 48-PACK OF BATTERIES YOU’LL BE VERY GLAD YOU BOUGHT THE NEXT TIME SOMETHING DIES
Batteries are never exciting until the remote, kid’s toy, game controller, flashlight, or approximately seventeen other things in your house suddenly need them. This giant 48-pack of AA batteries means you can stock the drawer once and stop stealing batteries out of one device to keep another one alive.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because “which toy can I sacrifice for its batteries?” should not be part of your emergency preparedness plan.
~ $15
03 / KITCHEN FIND
THE DUAL-BASKET AIR FRYER THAT LETS DINNER FINISH AT THE SAME TIME
Cooking two things in the air fryer usually means deciding which one gets to sit around getting cold while the other finishes. This Chefman gives you two separate baskets so you can cook different foods at different temperatures, then use Sync Finish to have them ready at the same time. There are even windows on the front so you can check your food without opening the baskets every four minutes.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because fries waiting patiently for the chicken to finish is not the dinner experience anyone asked for.
~ $79, WAS $100
04 / PET FIND
THE DOG GROOMING VACUUM THAT SUCKS UP THE FUR WHILE YOU BRUSH
Brushing a shedding dog usually ends with enough loose fur floating around the house to assemble a second dog. This grooming system vacuums up the hair as you brush, while also giving you clippers, a paw trimmer, nail grinder, deshedding tools, and cleaning attachments for doing more of the grooming at home without covering everything you own in fur.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because the dog already lives here. His fur does not also need its own place on every surface.
~ $85, WAS $100
05 / BEAUTY FIND
THE CULT-FAVORITE $37 LIPSTICK THAT’S CURRENTLY HALF PRICE
If you’ve been curious about Charlotte Tilbury’s ridiculously popular Matte Revolution lipstick but couldn’t justify spending nearly $40 on one lipstick, this is your moment. The famous Pillow Talk shade is the easy-to-wear nude pink that helped make the line such a beauty staple—and at half price, it’s considerably easier to understand what all the fuss is about.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because $37 lipstick math and $18.50 lipstick math are two completely different branches of mathematics.
~ $19, WAS $37
06 / HOME FIND
THE ROBOT VACUUM THAT’S BASICALLY TRYING TO MAKE FLOOR CLEANING YOUR FORMER JOB
This thing doesn’t just wander around vacuuming crumbs. The Qrevo 2 Pro vacuums and mops, tackles hair with anti-tangle brushes, gets along edges and automatically removes its mop pads when it’s time to clean carpet. Then it heads back to its dock where a bunch of the gross maintenance work gets handled for you.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because the ultimate home upgrade is slowly removing yourself from the list of people responsible for cleaning it.
~ $549, WAS $800
07 / TECH DEAL
THE TINY JBL SPEAKER THAT’S BUILT TO GO PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE
This little speaker is small enough to toss in your bag but still gives you the portability and durability you’d want for pool days, vacations, the backyard, or just carrying your music from room to room. It’s waterproof and dustproof, comes in a bunch of colors, and right now you can grab it for about $15 less than usual.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because apparently “bring the music” no longer requires bringing a speaker the size of a carry-on.
~ $39, WAS $55
08 / FASHION FIND
THE UGG SLIP-ONS THAT ARE ABOUT TO BECOME YOUR ENTIRE FALL PERSONALITY
There’s something dangerous about a shoe you can slide on in two seconds and somehow still look like you tried. The UGG Elea Slip-Ons have that cozy, easy fall-shoe thing going on that works for school drop-off, errands, coffee runs, or every other occasion where comfort is winning the argument.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because fall is approximately 40% convincing yourself you need another pair of UGGs.
~ $80, WAS $130
09 / CLEANING DEAL
THE TINY CARPET CLEANER YOU’LL END UP USING ON ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
The couch. The car. The stairs. That one mystery spot on the rug nobody is admitting to. The BISSELL Little Green Mini is basically made for all the gross little messes that do not justify dragging out a full-size carpet cleaner — and because it’s actually small, you might even use it instead of letting the stain live there for six months.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because apparently “I’ll clean that later” is not an effective stain-removal method.
~ $88, WAS $100
10 / PET DEAL
FEED THEM. WATCH THEM. JUDGE THEM FROM AFAR.
An automatic pet feeder is already convenient. Add a camera and suddenly you can schedule meals and check in to see what your tiny freeloader is doing while you’re gone. This PETLIBRO has a 1080p camera with night vision, two-way audio, app controls and a slow-feed bowl — which feels like an unreasonable amount of technology dedicated to someone who contributes absolutely nothing financially.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because apparently your pet needed their own meal delivery service AND security camera.
~ $170, WAS $190
11 / BEAUTY DEAL
THE HAIR DRYER THAT MAKES WASH DAY WAY LESS ANNOYING
The Shark SpeedStyle uses high-velocity airflow to dry hair fast without the whole holding a giant heavy dryer over your head for twenty minutes situation. It’s lightweight, comes with styling attachments, and is designed to give you that smooth, just-left-the-salon look without turning your bathroom into an actual salon.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because if we have to dry our hair anyway, it might as well take significantly less of our life.
~ $159, WAS $230
12 / COZY FIND
THE “WHY DO I HAVE 14 CHARGING CORDS?” SOLUTION
One charger. Three devices. A significantly less chaotic nightstand. This Anker Prime charging station powers your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once — and the phone charger is adjustable, so you can actually see your screen instead of laying it flat underneath a pile of cords like some kind of charging graveyard.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because apparently every Apple product needed its own cord, and we’ve had enough.
~ $139, WAS $230
13 / HOME DEAL
FOR THE CABINET YOU’RE AFRAID TO OPEN
You know the one. Bottles falling over, seventeen half-used products shoved in the back, and absolutely no chance you’re finding what you need without taking everything out first. These two-tier pull-out organizers turn that disaster into actual usable storage with clear sliding drawers and adjustable dividers — and you can use them under the sink, in the bathroom, pantry, or basically anywhere chaos has taken over.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because “shove it under the sink and close the door really fast” is technically not an organization system.
~ $25, WAS $40
14 / KIDS DEAL
790 LEGOS. ONE GIANT BOX. HOURS OF NOT HEARING “I’M BORED.”
No complicated theme. No building it once and then putting it on a shelf. This giant LEGO Classic box is basically a childhood starter pack — 790 pieces, tons of colors, wheels, windows, doors, baseplates and enough random bricks to build whatever weird masterpiece they come up with next.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because buying yourself an hour of peace technically makes this a gift for you, too.
~ $33, WAS $60
15 / TRAVEL DEAL
YOUR “I’M TOTALLY NOT GOING TO OVERPACK” STARTER KIT
A hardshell carry-on, travel backpack AND toiletry bag all in one matching set — aka everything you need to confidently announce you’re packing light before somehow bringing 11 outfits for a three-day trip. The suitcase has 360° spinner wheels and a built-in TSA lock, while the backpack slips right over the luggage handle so you can cruise through the airport looking significantly more organized than you actually are.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because paying baggage fees for clothes you never even wore is getting old.
~ $80, WAS $100
16 / COZY DEAL
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE COLD FROM OCTOBER UNTIL MAY
This is the blanket you grab when a regular blanket simply isn’t pulling its weight. The Bedsure heated throw has six heat settings, multiple timer options, and enough soft, cozy goodness to make getting off the couch feel completely unreasonable. Turn it on, get comfortable, and accept that whatever you were supposed to accomplish tonight probably isn’t happening.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because turning up the thermostat is expensive and wearing your coat inside feels dramatic.
~ $36, WAS $69
17 / SKINCARE DEAL
AN ENTIRE SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR LESS THAN ONE FANCY SERUM
If your skincare routine has somehow turned into twelve bottles and absolutely no idea what order they go in, The Ordinary has simplified things. This three-piece set gives you the basics — a gentle cleanser, 2% salicylic acid treatment to help clear clogged pores and blemishes, and a lightweight moisturizer to finish it off. No 14-step routine required.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because apparently buying more skincare is easier than remembering to drink water.
~ $14
18 / ON-THE-GO DEAL
A STANLEY YOU CAN ACTUALLY THROW IN YOUR BAG
All the insulated Stanley goodness, minus carrying around a cup roughly the size of a toddler. The Quick Flip GO has a push-button lid you can open one-handed, a leakproof design, and a slim 24-ounce size that fits in most cup holders — aka the Stanley for people who would prefer their water bottle not become their entire personality.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because sometimes you just want a water bottle that doesn’t require its own passenger seat.
~ $19, WAS $25
19 / BEDROOM DEAL
YOUR BED IS ABOUT TO GET UNREASONABLY FANCY
There is something about sliding into silky sheets that makes an ordinary Tuesday night feel like you have your life significantly more together than you actually do. This Bedsure satin set gives you the whole setup — fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases — with that smooth, slippery-soft feel that’s also gentler on your hair and skin.
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because waking up with fewer pillow creases and less chaotic hair feels like a win.
~ $18, WAS $30
20 / WEIRDLY WONDERFUL DEAL
DO YOU NEED TINY CREATURES HELPING YOU COOK? NO. ARE YOU GOING TO WANT THEM? YES.
A Loch Ness Monster ladle. A crab spoon rest. A crabby little pasta strainer. These are the completely unnecessary kitchen gadgets that somehow become your favorite things in the drawer. They’re cute, they’re actually functional, and they make cooking approximately 37% less boring.*
WHY I LIKE IT →
Because your regular ladle has had years to develop a personality and has chosen not to.
~ $29, WAS $37
WAIT. THERE’S MORE.
More weirdly useful, surprisingly genius, and absolutely send-this-to-the-group-chat finds are coming.
