I'm a Shopping editor (and mom to two toddlers) who covers a variety of topics, including helpful parenting/kids products, exciting gadgets, cozy products (think: home goods and fashions that'll make you want to snuggle), and any magical Disney item that crosses my path.

1. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced for 20% off that parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash, which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry. I've literally told every single parent or parent-to-be in my life that THIS machine is what kept me going during the baby years — it was the light of my life (next to my kids, of course).

Baby Brezza, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

THIS machine is what kept me going during my kids' first years. It's truly the number one item I couldn't have lived without. Literally, I would happily spend my last penny on this product because it has made that much of a difference in my life over the last few years.

It’s essentially a Keurig for baby bottles. It can mix the formula with the proper amount of water and dispense it at the *perfect* temperature for the baby. It has a button so I can easily choose how many ounces to put in a bottle, depending on how recently the baby has eaten. Sometimes we only needed 2 ounces instead of 4 ounces, etc. The bottle settings stay in place, so while my baby was screaming, I just had to place a bottle under the dispenser and hit the “start” button. It’s so easy, I was able to literally do it with one hand while holding my kid. 

The spout has to be cleaned every four bottles, which I just do with hot water and a paper towel, and the water needs to be refilled once a day (like a Keurig). Other than that, all I had to do was ensure the formula container was filled. My husband set it up like a baby bar cart in the nursery so we didn't have to stumble down our stairs to the kitchen, bleary-eyed and half asleep, in the middle of the night. It really was a godsend and I don’t know what I’d do without it! 

Get it from Amazon for $183.99 (typically $229.99; available in white) Baby Brezza for $183.99 (typically $229.99; available in three colors) — shop all the Baby Brezza deals here.

2. A grey Carhartt kids half-zipfor 32% off (the best price it's ever been *AND* a lightning deal so make moves quickly!) that'll be perfect for now when you're hanging out at the beach when the sun sets and it gets a lil' chilly all the way into winter! A worthy investment, indeed.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This sweater is so cute! I love it so much that I am writing this after buying it a second time, for my son’s second winter. I can not wait to see my husband and son match. The quality is amazing, it is so soft! It keeps my son warm in the winter months and holds its structure when it is washed." —Christine

Get it from Amazon for $20.50(typically $29.99; available in kids sizes 3–24M, 2T–4T only on sale in grey).

3. A KitchenAid 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer for 25% off (the best price it goes for!) because even if you've never been in the running for Top Chef, you can still use this baby to learn how to make delectable chocolate chip cookies that'll have your kiddos begging you for more (IMO, that's way more important than knowing how to make a medium rare steak or a Baked Alaska).

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered this mixer because I make large batches of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. After I add the oatmeal, nuts, and chocolate chips, the dough weighs 7 1/2 pounds. I am 91 years old, and stirring all of that together was getting to be just too much, and the family still wanted me to make the cookies. This mixer can handle it!! I mix the flour, sugar, margarine, eggs, and flour with the regular blades and then switch to the twisty blades when I add the oatmeal etc. The power of this mixer is amazing and it is quiet and the blades can be changed easily. A wonderful mixer that will keep me making cookies for a long time!!" —Shirley Stegmuller

Get it from Amazon for $44.95 (typically $59.99; available in 10 colors).

4. An aesthetically pleasing adjustable toddler step stool for up to 31% off, because so many pieces of child-adjacent furniture are maxed out on functionality but really lacking in the pretty department. This one grows with your kid — there are three height options based on your little one's growth stage.

Amazon

Promising review: "Such a cute and minimalist stool. My daughters love it, and it helps them get to the counter so easily. Lightweight, easy to grab, and move to a different room. Highly recommend." —mkuuleiw

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (original $35.99; available in five colors)

5. A crossback dress and bloomers setfrom Hanna Andersson for 60% off *plus* an additional 20% off (WHAT A DEAL, HUH?!), you'll wish it came in your size because it's so darn cute! Your little one's summer wardrobe is about to get a serious upgrade — next up, teaching the importance of ~twirling~.

My daughter (pictured above, left) gets so many compliments when I put her in this outfit. And why wouldn't she?! It's so cute! It's one of the few dresses she has that comes with a matching diaper cover, so I don't need to throw another pair of shorts on under it. It's lightweight but sturdier than most of her other clothes. I can just feel that it's well-made. I mean, she looks so freakin' cute in it I could just squish her!!! And don't get me started — this deal is so good I'm going to order it in another style before it sells out!!!

Promising review: "Super cute and the fabric seems great for hot weather." —Molly A

6. A Babyletto 4-in-1 convertible cribfor up to 39% off that'll last your baby from birth through their kid years (that's a loooong time, but, boy, does it go fast!) My daughter has this crib, and we were so happy we chose it over the extremely expensive one we bought for our firstborn — it's perfect, honestly.

Amazon

Promising review: "We have this crib for both of our babies (2 under 2). We loved it so much with our first that we got it again for our second. Once you figure out how to put it together, it’s super easy. It’s a beautiful piece in both rooms. It’s so lightweight that I can move it by myself." —Korri Kane

Get it from Amazon for $301.99+ (typically $499; available in four styles) — shop all the Babyletto deals here.

7. A Melissa & Doug Top & Bake Wooden Pizza Counter for 56% off, so your kiddos can work together at their very own pizza parlor while *also* practicing their "cutting" skills, playing toppings, taking "orders," and counting play money. for your very small business owner. I'll take a pepperoni slice, plz!

Amazon

Promising review: "This was one of my grandson's repeated request for Christmas. It's Melissa and Doug, so you expect quality, color, functionality, and educational value. The Velcro pieces continue to work after numerous uses. No real assembly required. The money and pizza box are extras that my grandson and his grandfather loved! A highlight of Christmas morning that is still being played with." —Stavia

Get it from Amazon for $26 (typically $55.99) — shop all the Melissa & Doug deals here.

8. A playful gingham dress from Janie and Jack for 45% off with Americana vibes that'll have your mini me fitting right in during your *~East Coast summer~*. My apologies if your family doesn't already have a trip planned for Maine; this collection might make you want to book one immediately.

Janie and Jack

My family goes to Maine every year, and I'm planning to order my daughter this embroidered tank and skort set (OBSESSED) and this cute on-theme tee for my son! I'm obsessed with Janie and Jack and typically shop it for special occasions — the quality is unmatched!

Get it from Janie and Jack for $35.19 (typically $64; available in sizes 3–16) — and shop all the Janie and Jack deals here.

9. A Babysense monitor and two camerasfor 35% off that'll simplify the process of keeping an eye on your two little ones. It'll be a great option for anyone who wants to abide by the separation of church and state... and by that I mean, you want a handheld baby monitor, not one that exists on an app on your phone. This will certainly get the job done!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

If you only need one camera, that kit is also on sale for 19% off.

Promising reviews: "It’s a great product! The monitor is crystal clear, and the camera has a great range of motion. I love that I can play music through the camera to help my baby sleep more easily. While I set up the Sleep Breathing Movement Monitor, I haven't used it much yet because the monitor's audio is so good—I can hear even the tiniest movements. I also plan to add a second camera in another room so I don't have to move the original one back and forth.  It’s definitely worth the investment, especially since it’s FSA-eligible. I love this monitor!" —KT

"I've been using this for 3 years now without any issues. I bought this because I did not want one dependent on WiFi. It scans between both rooms every few seconds so I can hear if either child is fussing. Great price and additional cameras can be added. I also love the lullabies that play and the built-in night-light. When we had to sleep train, I would play a lullaby on the camera and my baby would fall right back to sleep." —Kaitlin

Get it from Amazon for $129.99(typically $199.98) — shop all the Babysense deals here.

10. Kids Baya Crocs for up to 28% off that'll give them the independence they've been craving — finally, a pair of shoes they can put on all by themselves! And just wait until they realize they can customize them with Jibbitz! I wish you luck getting them to take them *off* inside the house...

Walmart

My 4-year-old and 2-year-old absolutely adore their Crocs. We get them a new pair as soon as the weather warms up. They're perfect for slipping on quickly when we want to head outside to play in the yard or run a quick errand. I love that they're waterproof and that when they *do* get covered in dirt/mud/sand, I can wash them off in the sink. They're simply the best.

Promising review: "My 3-year-old loves his Crocs! They seem so comfy, and he is at an independent age, where he often puts his shoes on himself. Which is easy to do with this style. I love that you can slip them on with or without socks, and they are easy to clean up. We will definitely buy in more colors!" —Walmart customer

Get them from Walmart for$24.99 (typically $34.99; available in toddler sizes 5–10, little kid sizes 1–3, 11–13, big kid sizes 4–5 and 35 styles) —shop all the deals here. 

11. ALalo Play Kitfor 39% off you can pop into your kiddo's play area to give 'em a perfect spot to craft, snack, and host their tiny pals — it comes with a table and two rather chic chairs. You can even order coloring pages (they're also on sale!) that'll fit seamlessly on the table for more fun!

Lalo, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

I have owned this table and chairs for two years and it's held up to all kinds of toddler wear-and-tear. My youngest is very into coloring and is constantly drawing *all* over them with markers and Crayons (despite my best efforts), but it wipes clean in seconds with a Magic Eraser. I've used it to set up fun holiday activities, to stage visits from our Elf on the Shelf, and, of course, to give them snacks that I really do not want eaten on my couch. I love that it's aesthetically pleasing and will work with the decor of any room if we move it around the house. Additionally, the edges of the table are rounded and have protected my kids from getting *too* hurt when they inevitably crawled. I'm a big fan!

Promising review: "Wonderful quality. Product packaging was amazing and the directions made assembly incredibly easy. Love having all the tools and parts so well labeled." —Mary

Get it from Lalo for$227.50 (typically $375; available in two table colors and three chair colors) — shop the entire sale here.

12. A Shark Navigator vacuum for up to 33% off, designed specifically for people with allergies. It has a HEPA filter to trap dust inside the vacuum, and it even comes with a powerful pet-hair attachment for a super deep clean — which means it'll absolutely be able to take on the smashed up Goldfish crackers and bits of Crayon your kids throw its way.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Who need Dyson? What a great deal! Usually, I do not get excited about vacuum cleaners. However, for this one I make an exception. Very high quality. Very low price. From tip to bottom, this is fine piece of engineering and aesthetically pleasing design. The vacuum reeks of quality throughout. It cleans extremely well while keeping the noise down. For a vacuum cleaner, it is pretty darn quiet in my opinion. The suction is powerful and it picks up everything thrown in its path with satisfaction. Because of the powerful suction, I especially like the feature that control the suction. It is placed very conveniently so that it can quickly be adjusted for different situations. On this vacuum cleaner, this feature is needed because it is so powerful." —Frank Chi

Get it from Amazon for $134.99+ (originally $199.99) — and shop all the Shark deals here.

13. A Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 for up to 35% off (its best price ever!) because, honestly, we parents need something that'll just keep tabs on us since we don't really have time to do it on our own anymore (taking care of tiny humans is a task!) In addition to acting as a personal AI assistant, this smartwatch is lightweight and includes fitness tracking, sleep coaching, running coaching, a heart rate tracker, and energy scoring, all built right in!

Amazon

Promising review: "This is my favorite smart watch I've ever had. Great and useful features - like O² check, ECG check, and other fabulous features, especially when paired with a Samsung smartphone. I like to have this watch constantly check my heart rate and stress level, so the battery life suffers a bit. I can get about 2.5 days from a full charge. All in all its great, so far!" —HorrorGuy

Get it from Amazon for $246.99 (typically $379.99; available in three sizes and with or without Bluetooth) — and shop all the Samsung deals here.

14. Or a Fitbit Charge 6 Watchfor up to 52% off (still at its Prime Day price!!!) if you want to track how many steps you actually get while running after a toddler who has zero fear at a playground that is not for their age group 😅. It's got a built-in GPS, heart rate monitor, and a battery that only needs to be charged once a week. Whatever your movement goals, you're gonna crush them with this handy assistant on your wrist.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! Helps me see how active I am throughout the day and how many calories I burn. A good reminder to be mindful about what I consume in a day versus how much exercise I’m getting. Very beneficial, highly recommended." —Jackie

Get it from Amazon for $75.99+ (originally $159.95; available in three colors).

15. A Newton Original Crib Mattress for 20% off that'll help provide you with some peace of mind once your tyke starts actually sleeping on top of it — it's made with a unique woven material — it's made of 90% air, 10% food-grade polymer (the same as a yogurt container!), which is much more breathable than standard organic mattresses...an absolute game changer. Oh! And! It's also fully washable.

Newton

My best friend and I both have this mattress for our kids and have literally lain face down on top of it to see if it truly is breathable — good news, it is! I've recommended this mattress to quite literally every parent I know. 

Promising review: "I'm about to be a mom of 3, and I am so happy to have finally gotten my hands on the Newton Crib Mattress. It feels comfortable, and the fact that it's breathable helps put my mind at ease. Also a huge bonus that it's washable!" —summer

16.

Then you won't have to think "Ugh, what should I gift them this year?" Part of that present will already be ready to go! 

Amazon

My 4-year-old is such a fan of Skillmatics' crafts and activities. I've been buying them for all the kids in our lives — they're such a hit! 

Promising review: "My eight-year-old daughter really enjoyed this crafting activity. I think this craft is perfect for kids ages 4-12. It kept her busy for about 2 hours, and she did it over several days. It is great for fine motor skills and mess-free! All of the supplies are included and of good quality. The colors were vibrant and fun." —Kindle Customer

17. Silly Poopy's Hide and Seek for 33% off — which is pretty much exactly what you'd think it is. It's a rainbow-colored, light-up poop-shaped toy that littles can take turns hiding throughout the house. It'll shout out clues and play a song when it's finally found!

John Mihaly / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

Relatable is a small business that sells card games/toys, plushies, and pool floats.

My son has entered the everything-is-about-poop era, and while it has been extremely irritating, it did give me an excuse to break out this game. He LOVES it.  He's 4 and doesn't *fully* get the concept of hiding it on his own (he puts it in plain sight and then tells us where it is when it's our turn to find it), but he has a blast looking for it. Plus, my 2-year-old gets a kick out of the silly song. It's been a go-to for my entire family when we can't get outside to play.

Promising review: "This game is HILARIOUS. My kids love playing with it and taking turns hiding it (8, 6, and 3 years). They all think poop is funny and run around yelling, 'Silly Poopy, where are you?' It keeps them busy for at least half an hour at a time, and they leave me alone. Also? It's pretty durable. I found it outside in my garden in the 20-degree winter weather. I guess my 8-year-old left it out there for a few days. It also gets thrown down the stairs, and Silly Poopy just keeps on giggling and having fun." —Adele

Get it from Amazon for $8.02 (typically $11.97) — shop all of the Relatable deals here.

18. A basic zip-up and matching joggers from Gap Factory for 50% off each that you can order in every color and make it your kiddo's wardrobe — here's to hoping they'll put their new 'fit on daily with minimal fighting. At the very least, it'll let you disguise the fact that they'll only wear the same Spider-Man shirt over and over by hiding under different colored hoodies.

Gap Factory

I've bought these zip-ups for both my son and my daughter in a variety of colors — they're the best!

Promising review: "This sweatshirt is exactly what I was looking for for my baby boy. I wanted something lightweight that I could easily throw on him during cooler spring and summer days without it feeling bulky, and this is perfect. The material is not too thick, making it ideal for warmer weather. I purchased the light blue color, which is absolutely beautiful, and I love the adorable bear logo detail. My son was 9 months old when I bought it, and I chose the 12–18-month size so he could wear it throughout the summer. It fits a little big right now, but comfortably so, and gives him plenty of room to grow. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase." —Paula

Get them from Gap Factory: Fleece Zip Hoodie for $12.49(typically $24.99; available in sizes 6–24M, 2–6Y and 11 colors) and Pull-On Fleece Joggers for $9.99(typically $19.99; available in sizes 3–24M, 2–6Y, and 10 colors) — shop the entire sale here.

19. An outdoor wicker furniture setfor $90 off so when you have your Mom Squad over you'll have plenty of space for everyone to relax while the kiddos splash around in the inflatable pool you've set out for them *plus* a cute coffee table to set out snacks, juice boxes and ~grown up bevvys~. Here's to hoping your kids actually let you make use of all that lovely seating... 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I spent a lot of time researching for a good quality patio set in my budget, and while also being my style. The setup was straightforward and easy. It’s comfy and looks so nice out on the patio. The cushions are thick, sturdy, and waterproof. Even though it is waterproof, I would still recommend keeping it covered from rain to help with longevity. Overall, a great buy for the price, aesthetic, material, and use." —Darvin

Get it from Amazon for $509.99+ (original $599.99+; available in three colors and 15 sizes) 

20. A Thermacell E-ZoneGuard Patio Max Rechargeable Mosquito Repellerfor 20% off (the best price it goes for!), so you and your family can make use of your outdoor space without becoming breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the swarm of bugs that seem to appear the second you settle down outside.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This sleek little device came with a charging cable, a refill insert, and clear instructions. After a quick charge, I was able to set it up on my backyard deck without any issues. It says to wait 15 minutes after turning it on before it becomes effective at repelling mosquitoes. Well, after using it a few times, I think it's better than the ones that have DEET in them. So far, none of my family members has been bitten. It runs quietly, and I feel better knowing it uses natural ingredients. Also, this brand provides a 3-year warranty if you register the device." —L. Chen

21. A reviewer-beloved 100% cotton cooling mattress pad for 28% off so after spending a long day soaking up all that hot summer sun at your local splash pad with your tykes, you can snuggle into your favorite PJs, tune into Love Island, and sink into your refreshingly crisp but still plush bed. Doesn't that sound absolutely amazing? This one is made with a down-alternative, is super soft, breathable, *and* is machine-washable.

Amazon

Promising review: "I LOVE this mattress pad. I let it breathe as directed. Living in Florida, my bed is always hot at night. I have been using this for a week, and I can feel the coolness of this mattress pad anytime I wake up in the night. It is very comfortable, also, adding a pillow to my bed. There is also a lot of space for any depth of mattress. I have a regular-width mattress, and I can easily tell a pillow top would be covered just as well. Well worth the purchase!" —Julie Santello

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (originally $35.98; available in sizes twin–California king and three colors).

22. And a fluffy comforter for 40% off because even if the time you get to spend with your bed is typically fleeting (I can't be the only one with kids that get up at the crack of dawn, right?), you might as well feel like you're living in a marshmallow wonderland while you *are* happily lounging in there. Reviewers say it's the perfect weight to keep you warm without waking up in a sweat or ripping it off your body in the middle of the night. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This comforter is the perfect weight! Not too thick, not too thin and super soft. It looks and feels so cozy, it makes it hard to get out of bed! The oversized king drapes almost to the floor (my king mattress sits on a high base). No more fighting for a blanket with my partner! We both can burrito ourselves comfortably and even the cats get a corner without rolling off. It fluffed out easily from the packaging. And the color was true to the picture. Any wrinkles smooth out after a few light tugs." —Fifus

You've GOT this!!!

Nordstrom

I have the Nuna Trvl Compact Dubl Stroller (a.k.a. the double version of the one that's on sale), and it has been a life-changing purchase for me.

Promising review: "I can’t express enough how amazing this stroller is! From boarding the plane to landing and opening up my stroller to sit my daughter down with so much ease was amazing. If you're looking for a travel stroller or a stroller you’ll be using on a regular basis, this is it!!!" —MayaMar

25. A Nex Playground for 20% off which is a game console that's entirely motion-controlled — no controller necessary! It uses a small camera to track your little one's movements, meaning they can get their video game fix in while staying active and off the couch. Also, there's a Barbie dance game available, which sounds like a 10/10 good time.

Samar Hadri / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

The console includes five games, though you can expand your collection by purchasing a Play Pass subscription ($49 for three months, or $89 for a full year).

Promising review: "First, as a UX and graphic designer, I love the design of everything about the Nex Playground. Opening it was easy, and setup was understandable and easy for anyone. The onboarding was fun and creative. I wish there were more games in the catalog, but the games available were definitely worth the buy. This is great for apartment living and during the cold winter when your toddlers can't go outside; it solves many sensory issues. Keeping my kids active and keeping me in shape at the same time with a variety of creative activity games is amazing, and it makes for great family game nights. If you are looking for something fun for your kids that keeps them active, this is the buy for you. As a father of two toddlers with autism, I can honestly say this brings me back to when I had an Xbox Connect as a kid and I am happy my kids will be able to experience what I experienced. Looks good with my other systems." —louis

Get it from Amazon for $239 (originally $299).

26. A Skip Hop celestial tummy time mat for 25% off complete with little hanging critters and a moon pillow you can prop your baby onto. Babies will love chomping on the plush toys and teethers, and you'll love that they can practice reaching and grasping.  

www.amazon.com, Amazon

I had this play mat when my son (who is now 4) was a baby! It was such a cute theme and was a great place to *plop* him to play. It didn't take up much space in our home and was easy to bring on the go as needed!

BuzzFeed editor Rebecca O'Connell has this item in a different theme for her baby. She said, "I have the safari one, and I'm full of regret that I didn't see this moon version — it's so cute! I'll survive because my play mat is still amazing. Skip Hop makes really high-quality, super-adorable play gyms that survive washing and baby gnawing. Highly recommend! When not in use, the arches collapse for easy storage."

Promising review: "It’s so big, comfy, fluffy, and gorgeous! It’s very much worth the price I paid for it. It can totally be used as a rug once the baby has outgrown it. It’s that nice. The toys that come with it are also very cute and of nice quality. The whole thing is great.10/10 absolutely in love with this celestial mat." —shannon

Get it from Amazon for $63.75 (originally $84.99; also available in four other non-sale styles) — shop all of the Skip Hop deals here.

27. A Shark NeverChange air purifier for up to 23% off with a HEPA filter that — I really hope you're sitting down for this — lasts for up to FIVE years!!!!! I know you probably haven't changed your current air purifier filter for five years, but you're actually supposed to replace them every three months, so go ahead and throw this in your cart. Your allergies will thank you later.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The air purifier is so silent, which is great when you're trying to sleep. The purifier automatically goes into eco mode after five minutes once the air is clean. I'm already noticing a huge difference in my room. If you have asthma, allergies, or breathing problems in general, definitely invest in one of these purifiers." —Crimson

28. An iconic toddler-sized Spice Girls graphic tee from Old Navy for 47% off, you'll wish it came in your size so you guys could twin while twirling around your room together singing, "Stop right now, thank you very much!" Pop some of these too cute rib-knit bike shorts (which are 50% off!) into your cart to complete the 'fit.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

I literally ordered three of these Spice Girls shirts — one for my daughter (pictured above) and one for each of my nieces. Wish I had done so while they were on sale! Oh well! Because while writing this article, I discovered these magical Disney shirts and my finger slipped and I bought one of each...the deals are *that* good.

29. A KoolTunes cooler for 40% off that can truly do it all — this comes with built-in speakers, wireless Bluetooth connectivity with 10 hours of playtime on a single charge. And get this...it's weatherproof, too. If you've got kids, you have more than enough things to carry to the beach. I love that this combines two of those necessities into one item!

Igloo

Promising review: "I wasn’t sure about the speaker by reading the reviews, but after buying it and using it for myself, I am obsessed! This speaker was the main event at my barbecue, lol. It’s been on for six hours and it still has a good battery amount. My drinks are cold. The sound is amazing! I would highly recommend." —Kellie Pink

A7-in-1 Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven for 43% off, so when your precious angel child, who said, "yes, I'd love to eat spaghetti and meatballs tonight!" decides to scream their head off when you present it to them for dinner (siiiiiiigh), you can pop some nuggets into the air fryer and regroup (fed is best, right?)

Target

Promising review: "It's compact. Bacon cooks quickly and effortlessly, and is always perfect. It doesn't take up too much real estate on the counter. I look forward to discovering ALL the things I can use it for! " —Barbara

Yikes.

Promising review: "These are my favorite chips at the moment, and I have been stuck on them since I found them one time at a dollar store. I have bought these twice and neither time have I been disappointed with the quality of the chips. I haven't gotten any defective bags, the flavor has been perfect, and the amount is correct. I'm really happy they are available on Amazon." —Elizebeth B

Get it from Amazon for $14.91 (originally $22.43).

33. A darling twin-size Montessori bed for 52% off that'll make transitioning your little one into a big kid bed worth any struggles that come along with it — or maybe there won't be any because they'll love it so much they'll actually want to sleep in it all night! Here's hoping!

Promising review: "Everything I say here will be a massive understatement, but here it goes — THIS MACHINE IS BEYOND AMAZING! The quality of espresso it produces has me furious at how much money I’ve given to Starbucks over the years. It’s top tier, absolutely undebatable. Get it NOW!" —Kimberly

See it in action on TikTok.

Promising review: "If you are considering getting a Keurig at a similar or higher price, skip it. This thing is far superior. I’ve had a couple of Keurigs, and I was hesitant to switch brands, but I’ve been happy with my other Ninja products, and this seemed like a better value. This one holds more water, takes up less counter space, has more options, is overall sturdier, and has the milk frother, which is a really nice little feature. You can do a small pot or a pod. I think it’s better looking on the counter, too. We’ve had it for a little while now and use it every day, and it performs perfectly every time." —Shannon McCarthy

Amazon

Promising review: "I’ve had this sound machine for almost four years now. It’s gone on more trips than I can count! It’s a very consistent sound machine, easy to pack, easy to travel with and works fantastically well. It’s a must-have if you have a family member who snores loudly! One set of batteries lasts a long time in this. It fits nicely in any kind of bag and is super simple to use. I love the hanging loop, but it’s just as easy to put it on a nightstand. This little thing is one of my go-to travel items and stays in my carry-on bag at all times!" —Amazon Customer

38. A pair of adidas Kids' Grade School Ultradream DNA Shoesfor up to 45% off because your mini-me's feet seem to grow like weeds! At this price, you might as well buy the size up too and stow 'em away for Back to School season, it'll be here before you know it!

40. A splurge-worthy Lovesac Sactional couchfor 40% off that'll likely be the last couch you ever purchase — it can be completely configured to your exact preference, comes in so many colors and fabrics, and is oh-so comfy you won't be able to resist taking a lil' daily cat nap on it. Plus, when your adorable kids squeeze their juice boxes and smash their chocolate chip granola bars into the cushions, you can strip throw them right into your washing machine!

Heather Braga/ BuzzFeed, Lovesac

I upgraded from the couch I had lugged from my apartment to my house to a Lovesac Sactional, and all I can say is "wow!" Mine is pictured above (left) before we opened our ottoman piece (which is why a back piece seems to be missing, since each seat comes with one). Anyway, my husband and I are lucky enough to live near a Lovesac store, so before ordering online, we went in and tested out all of our options. The Sactionals are so customizable that it's nearly overwhelming trying to make a decision! Like many couches, they come in many fabrics and colors, but Lovesac does things differently by offering many configuration options, tons of storage, various arm styles, different seating depths, and the ability to build speakers directly into the couch (just to name a few!). We opted for a full sectional style and had storage added to every seat, which we've been using to store throw blankets and my toddlers' extensive stuffed-animal collection. I love that if we ever want to redecorate our home, we can just re-outfit the couch in a different fabric. And it's SO easy to clean — each piece of fabric can be tossed into the washing machine. To date, my sister has two Sactionals (and standard Lovesacs), and my cousin ordered one as well! 

Get it from Lovesac for $3,399 (typically $5,665; available in many configurations and styles) — shop the entire sale here.

41. Or a Joybird sleeper sofa for 42% off that'll look divine even if you pop it into your playroom — it has an amazing tufted seat, bolstered pillows, and high arms (ooOoOoh, luxurious!) and will also provide a comfortable place for guests to stay the night (a.k.a. your kids' aunts and uncles, the only ones who'd dare to weather that chaos for more than 24 hours.)
