Contigo spill-proof kids tumbler (30% off)
Finally, a to-go cup for little kids that parents actually like. Leak and spill-proof, with a comfy drinking straw, this 14-ounce tumbler will be your new favorite.
Promising review: "My little one is transitioning from bottles and I have been searching for the perfect cup for him and this one really fits the bill! He was not into any of the sippy or 360 cups and much preferred a straw but everything I had tried before this was leaky and not daycare or travel friendly. This cup is 100% leakproof and extremely heavy duty. I can fill it up and throw it in the diaper bag without issue and feel comfortable letting my son have this around the house. Would love some solid colors, but other than that, it’s perfect!" — Kristen
iWalk small portable charger (30% off)
Never run around on 1% again. This portable phone charger is the size of a lipstick and carries an entire charge for your phone.

My boyfriend likes to keep his phone below 40% so we bring this thing with us everywhere. It’s so easy to use and you hardly notice it being on your phone when it’s charging you up. This is one of my best Amazon finds FOR SURE." — slkeane
Flyby F2Pro muscle massage gun (40% off)
Work out knots and relieve tension with this massage gun. It has four different heads for all sorts of pressure.
Promising review: "This is a gift for a friend who limped in last week with lingering sciatic nerve pain. He had tried a masseuse, sitting with tennis ball under thigh, ice, heat, OTC pain meds, etc,.. I handed him my FLYBY massager to try and his pain disappeared in about 5 minutes! I was shocked and wouldn't have believed it on an infomercial, in a review or even word of mouth recommendation but I saw his recovery with my own eyes! He was so thankful and mobile. Described relief as the feeling of an asleep limb regaining blood flow and feeling normal again. Can't ask for more than that. I use mine immediately after working out and the next day to relieve upper/front muscle pain. It is amazing on sore abs! No masseuse is going to rub my belly and moobs! No more dreading demotivating post-workout pain. Game changer for me!" — Santos L. Helper

Promising review: "This ipad was a game changer. I always knew they were the "best tablets" but I was also a bit in denial as well as just being somewhat anti-apple. With this on sale during prime day 2022 (July) I took a chance and bought one for the kids. This does everything as well or better (usually better) than previous tablets I had purchased because they were cheaper." — Corey H
AeroGarden Harvest (33% off)
You don't need a yard to embrace your green thumb. This indoor herb garden come with seeds for Genovese basil, curly parsley, dill, thyme, Thai basil and mint.
Promising review: "I bought this somewhat on a whim, because the price was just over $100 and it looked like a fun winter hobby. Bought additional basil and tomato pods, because some of the herbs that came with did not appeal to me. (Some of my pods came from EZ-gro international, and they came up fine.) My first little garden is mint, thyme, 3 basils and one truly burly tomato who wants to achieve world domination. I'm already pruning the tomato and basils just to give the little guys a chance." — I bought this somewhat on a whim, because the price was just over $100 and it looked like a fun winter hobby.

Have used spin bikes in the past and this one is great. I like the design, feels like the same geometry as a road bike. Love the variety of workouts and instructors. I get a great workout and really enjoy having a coach to motivate me thru a hard workout. I like the variety of music from different instructors. I also like that there is a power meters built in. I added the heart rate monitor and it syncs seamlessly and gives me more info on my workout. Definitely worth the money. I love it." — Block math

Crest 3D Whitestrips (35% off)
Give your smile some extra shine with this set of Crest Whitestrips. It contains 44 strips for at-home whitening and two one hour express treatments for an instant boost.
Promising review: "Got these for an avid coffee drinker with strong but yellowing teeth. Per review tips, they did the whole series and a month later the newly dazzling smile still sparkles. My cut of this arrangement ;) was that I got to have one of the two one hour rapid whitener strip sets that came with the box of them. I'm not a coffee drinker and thought my teeth were pretty good in color, WOW! Very pleasantly surprised by how much brighter my smile was after using those. Very easy to wear too, they really adhere to your teeth, and you could drink water in a pinch." — mskarena

Promising review: "I’m a 65 year old female who has struggled with broken out, red and flaky patches on my nose and forehead for 30 years. I’ve tried many prescriptions and creams. Nothing worked. I accidentally came across Paula’s Choice Exfoliate liquid. I gently Pat it on my face and neck twice a day using a cotton pad or cotton ball. My face is completely healed! My pores are small. My nose isn’t swollen anymore. My skin glows. I follow the directions exactly and apply sunscreen in the morning after applying the liquid and face cream at night after the 2nd application of the liquid. I’m very pleased. I should have taken before/after photos but didn’t. I highly recommend this wonderful miracle product." — Camille

Promising review: "What's not to like??
It has power, easy to clean, comes with a nifty little stand, and makes a great froth. I use it as the coffee cup with creamer is about halfway through brewing. Makes a nice cup. My wife warms up her creamer, froths it with this neat gizmo, and pours it over the top her coffee. Different strokes, same result. Look, you want something to mix and froth your Java?

Super great product. I look forward to having several in our home." — C. Michael

Promising review: "I'm so cheap that I decided I would buy the knockoff versions of these first. Bad idea. Just get the real thing first time around. These fit well so I don't have to keep adjusting them, they pair easily (to my phone and my computer), the sound quality is good, and when I'm on a call or a meeting, I can be easily heard by whoever I'm talking to. They are not 100% noise canceling, but it's good enough. Worth the money for the aulity!" — C. Berg
Jackery portable power station (40% off)
Shopping writer Griffin Wynne called their Jackery power station “the gift that keeps on giving” — and we bet it would make a perfect holiday gift for the outdoors-y person in your life. It’s compatible with Jackery’s solar panels, meaning you can charge up off the grid, and it features a total of 6 outlets for refueling a variety of devices simultaneously, including an AC outlet, a 60W USB-C port, a fast-charge 3.0 port, an USB-A port and a DC car port. It’s equipped with a 293Wh lithium-ion battery pack and weighs just a hair over 7 lbs.
Promising review: “Bought it for camping and powering my CPap machine
Only get about two nights sleep at most without recharge which is what I expected.
Now bought solar panels to charge it
Love how light small it is
Like the design the lighted digital displays at night work great
Blew up my air mattress easily and it’s good to have reading to show how much power you have.
I used the 12 v car adapter to charge it one morning for five hrs and got an extra 30 charge which surprised me
Recommend for sure
Last night it used less than fifty percent for my CPap all night so you’d
get two nights easily without charge
Very light but solid very nice looking design small too” — Brian J
Waterproof wireless earbuds (52% off)
Dip your toe into the wireless earbud game without spending too much money with these waterproof Bluetooth ear buds. They come in six colors.
Promising review: "For the price and comfort, well worth it. Love how it has different sized earbud pieces for comfort and fit. It can fit my husbands large ears and my small ones with a change of the earbud pads. Its very clear and crisp in terms of sound and set up was easy. You can also use one at a time, instead of both, which is nice. Plus water resistant while working out is VERY nice for working out or pool side. Also, there is wireless charging but I often opt for charging with a cable." — Kumiko

Apple MacBook Air (20% off)
Yes, the mighty MacBook is available on sale during Early Access Prime, and this 2020 model boasts a slew of productivity-oriented features. Apple’s M1 chip with an 8-core CPU and 8GB of unified memory makes this a high-performing option for personal computing, and the 13.3-inch display and 18-hour battery life ensure that you can comfortably laptop away (yes, it’s a verb) for hours. (This option comes without the brand’s AppleCare insurance policy, but you can get the same model with AppleCare for 17% off right now.)
Promising review: “I recently migrated to Apple after many years using a wide variety of PCs running Windows or Linux. I decided to make that move after Apple's introduction of the M1 processor, which has been proven to be an excellent hardware platform. Now. of course, the M2 has been released, but, depending on your needs, the 2020 Macbook Air with the M1 will save you some money while still delivering outstanding performance and some of the most attractively and perfectly manufactured hardware. You can search the Internet for professional reviews of the Macbook Air, but I feel confident you'll find plenty to verify what I'm saying.
"The Retina display is beautiful. The sound system is superior to any other laptop I have owned or used. The battery holds up all day under typical use, and I can verify that the battery holds its charge well for at least a week while the notebook is powered off. The Apple OS (Monterey) is smooth and fast, and I was able to learn my way around in it quickly. When you need help, a Google search will yield tons of tips quickly, or you can avail yourself of Apple support. I will say that the Air is a little short on USB ports, lacks a built-in card slot, and, of course, is not equipped with a touchscreen. However, I have run a USB hub from one of the two Thunderbolt ports, and there seems to be enough power to support my flash drives and card readers...even a portable DVD-burner. As far as a touchscreen goes, I have that on a Dell laptop I run Linux on, but I never use it...guess I'm a mouse or touchpad guy.
"The aluminum housing is beautifully machined and finished, the keyboard has a very nice touch, the battery seems to charge quickly, and the Air is light at under 3 lbs...I have no regrets for this purchase. Actually, the Air was my 3rd M1 Mac. I also have an iMac and a Mac Mini. They all work together very well!” — QuietType

Promising review: “I started using this with my shower and after 2 days it feels like new skin. I am 76 and was complaining about not finding a product that works.

Promising review: "I tried multiple inexpensive, yet highly rated smart watches. I found them all to be inefficient. I finally bought my Apple Watch and couldn’t be happier. I should have done it a long time ago. It has all of the features, easy to read, easy to use and easy to connect to my Apple devices. It doesn’t pay to go cheap.

My sister owns the larger, and heavier one and she wishes that she had this one instead. Thanks." — Donna Dimsha

Sooth and moisturize your lips with this leave-on overnight lip mask. The berry formula will give you something to smile about.
Promising review: "I am SO HAPPY I tried this. I have been so frustrated the past year or so with relentlessly dry lips. Nothing else works for me, I have tried tons of chapsticks, lip balms, lip masks, lip scrubs and no matter what my lips are always so dry. I decided to try this despite it being kind of expensive for me, and 100% is worth it. Noticed a huge difference within two days, my lips are well moisturized and smooth for the first time in ages. I just use this as my go to lip moisturizer now, day or night. The vanilla smells like a cupcake it’s amazing, not too sweet as to be sickening. I absolutely recommend this and it’s one of my staples going forward." — Kate
