I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

Before you start shopping, a reminder that fall is here and with it = Fall Prime Day (aka Prime Big Deal Days). You need to be a member to take advantage of all the deals, so sign up here!

To see our coverage of all the best Fall Prime Day deals, come back to BuzzFeed Shopping on October 6th and 7th.

1. A bundle of two Philips Sonicare DiamondClean electric toothbrushes for 50% off (the lowest price it goes for) because they make the twice-daily task super simple to do *so* well, you won't overthink it anymore and your dentist will prob notice. A pressure sensor lets you know if you're scrubbing too fiercely (which helps prevent gum damage), a buzzy timer keeps you pacing around your mouth for the optimal two minutes, and four modes with three intensities give you custom options like "gum health" and "deep clean". 

Amazon

Yes it comes with two, but don't you *and* your mom / your partner / a friend BOTH deserve a dental glow-up? The set includes two brushes, two charging bases, and two travel cases. 

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean electric toothbrush and I’m really impressed with the results. My teeth feel much cleaner and smoother after every use compared to a manual toothbrush. It has a very comfortable brushing experience with gentle but effective vibrations, so it doesn’t feel harsh on gums. I also like the different brushing modes, especially the sensitive and whitening options. The battery lasts a long time, and the charging glass/travel case is actually very convenient and looks nice on the counter. The only downside is that replacement brush heads are a bit expensive, but overall the performance makes it worth it." —Daria Kliushnyk

Price: $199.94 (originally $399.99; availble in the pink and white combo only) — and shop all the Philips Sonicare deals here

2. A 40 oz. Hydro Flask travel tumbler for 50% off that one person says is "the BEST and ONLY tumbler you will need!!" Sometimes your to-do list can keep you from making your hydration goal, so maybe this can help. Reviewers say the lid has a better leak-resistant design compared to Stanleys, and ofc you already know that drinks will stay hot and cold for hours thanks to the double-wall insulation. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "LOVE this cup! It’s a very pretty baby pink color. It’s 40 ounces, so the volume is spacious; it holds the water hot and cold for hours. Great value for money.  I will actually repurchase it! It’s leakproof on the sides, but the water obviously leaks from the straw; everywhere else is good. Even if you drop the cup the liquids don’t spill! I love the straw because it’s elastic, so when you drive, you can peacefully drink without worrying about stabbing yourself with a traditional plastic straw. Also, it detaches so you can completely clean the cup in all the areas without mold collecting. Lid is very functional, will definitely repurchase." —MG

Price: $19.97+ (originally $39.95; available in 28 colors)

3. The wildly viral and versatile Clinique tinted lip balm in Black Honey for 50% off — at $12.50, the price hasn't been this low since *September 2025* — which is designed to give you a natural "your lips, but better" look. If you want a fast, simple, daily go-to way to feel put together that goes with basically every outfit, this has been classic since the '70s for exactly that. 

Amazon

My colleague Emma Lord loves the Black Honey Almost Lipstick. Here's what she has to say about it: "I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about 'expensive' beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? Ilove watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did, and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart."

Price: $12.50 for the Black Honey Almost Lipstick (originally $25; also available in "Pink Honey" for 50% off and "Nude Honey" for 25% off), and see more Clinique deals for up to 50% off (like the Black Honey Mascara for $14, originally $28) here.

4. A six-quart air fryer (from the makers of the Instant Pot!) for 36% off capable of broiling, dehydrating, crisping, baking, reheating, and (of course) air frying to perfection. Just quick and easy cooking without the stress or fear of dealing with hot splattering oil. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Paid $1,800 for a new oven. I have used it two times now, because I cook everything in this air fryer, and I mean everything. I even make barbecue ribs in it. Best ribs I ever had! This air fryer is a game changer. You will not be sorry if you get it. If and when this one breaks, I'll be buying another one. That's how much I love it." —annie

Price: $89.99 (originally $139.99; also available in two other sizes) — and shop all the Instant Pot deals here

5. A Shark Rotator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum with a HEPA filter for 40% off that's lightweight and powerful, meaning that the pet hair on your carpet should start saying its goodbyes now. It can turn on a dime, but there's also a lift-away pod function if you need to be even more mobile.  

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "🤩 Wow, this is the vacuum I’ve been looking for my whole life! Seriously, this one actually works great and could easily beat out a Dyson any day! I’ve purchased three Sharks, but this one beats all of them." —Vincent

Price: $199 (originally $329.99) — andsee all Shark deals here

6. A pair of classic platform Crocs for up to 50% off, so you can walk in comfort all day and always have a go-to shoe to slip on, cutting out at least one decision about what you're going to wear. And when you decorate them with charms, they become uniquely yours! Many reviewers say they rock these babies on the daily.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Some reviewers suggest going up a size!

Promising review: "These Crocs are super cute, and I can’t wait to wear them out! They’re really comfortable, especially because I’m a wide-foot girly, so comfort is my number one priority when it comes to picking out my shoes. They’re so stylish, and they have just the right amount of height added to them. Overall 10/10!! ♥️" —alissa

Price: $29.95+ (originally $59.99; available in sizes 4–11 and five colors)

7. Beats Studio Buds for up to 40% off with a noise-cancellation feature that works so well, people will have to pull your arm to get your attention. A single charge on these will get you up to eight hours of play time, AND they're sweat-resistant, too! Whether you're looking for something to help you focus on work or stay motivated with your workouts — sigh, adulthood — these will have your back. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I recently got the Beats Studio Buds, and honestly, they’re a game changer. First off, the black design is super sleek and fits my style perfectly. When I first put them in, I noticed right away how comfortable they were – way better than regular AirPods, at least for me. The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) is impressive too. I’ve tested it in some noisy places, and it really cuts down the background sound so I can actually focus on what I’m listening to. It might not be the same level as over-ear headphones, but for earbuds, it’s more than enough. Since they’re part of the Apple ecosystem, they pair up instantly with my iPhone, and the programmable buttons are a cool feature that makes switching tracks or activating Siri easy. Overall, these are solid earbuds that I’d totally recommend if you want something comfortable with good sound and a stylish look." —Anthony Comeaux

Price: $89.95+ (originally $149.95; available in three colors) — and shop all Beats deals here.

8. A silicone sensory activity board for 20% off (it's a Prime-exclusive deal) for a screen-free, no-mess, no-noise activity for kids, so you can finally catch up on your chore list. Honestly, you might even steal it to get a much-needed brain break. Carry it for long road trips, plane rides, or even waiting rooms to keep your kiddo locked in without hearing "you got games on your phone?" 

Amazon

Promising review: "I got this for my school social work office, and it's been a hit from day one. Kids are always reaching for it when they come in, and it's popular with my K-1 students as well as coworkers! It's a fun way to keep hands busy while we talk, and I've noticed it helps some students relax and settle in. It's simple, well-made, and has held up really well with lots of use. The key- it is easy to clean! This has definitely become one of the favorite fidgets in my office. If you work with kids or just want a fun sensory activity, I'd definitely recommend it." —kwb

Price: $19.98 (originally $24.99)

9. An Anker charging station (a Prime-exclusive deal) for 20% off to juice up your phone, Apple Watch, and AirPods in one convenient place. Not to mention, it reduces the amount of cords you'll need to charge your devices, leading to less clutter near your bed and fewer tangled messes when you bring it along while traveling!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have trusted Anker products for years and this purchase was no exception. The charger is compact, and charges fairly quickly—even while charging an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously. The MagSafe feature is very convenient and also makes it easy to position your phone in a way to easily see it if you use your phone for an alarm. But the small footprint and reliable charging are its best features (for me). Have tried many other multi-charging stations and this has been the best one so far." —William G.

Price: $71.99 (originally $89.99; available in two colors)

10. The Shark FlexStyle multi-styler and drying system for up to 36% off (the Copper colorway is back down to its lowest recorded price) if you're tired of trying to store far too many hair tools in far too small a space. And for those who struggle to create the perfect blowout every day, this system uses less heat, time, and effort. So, a total win.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The system comes with two auto-wrap curlers, a styling concentrator, an oval brush, and a storage bag.

Promising review: "I love this styling tool. I use it every time I have a special occasion, and it’s even easy enough to whip out on the daily if I feel up to it. I have Irish fine, thick hair, which is both delicate and heavy. I haven’t noticed any damage from this tool. Although I do use it with heat protectant products every time. As usual for me, with any curl, I need to use a lot of mousse and hairspray to keep it in. But with those products, it is the cutest and easiest way to add volume and curl to my hair. I get so many compliments when I go out after using it. When using the self-wrapping barrels, the air flow will let you know how much hair it can curl at one time by dropping the rest of it. So it’s super convenient that way. I’ve never curled my hair before in my life, and I was able to do it on my first try with this tool! And the heat settings are so great, I love the cold shot." —J J

Price: $199.99+ (originally $314.99+; available in three on-sale versions), and see more Shark deals here.

11. A pair of ultra-comfy walking shoes for 20% off (their lowest price yet!), because the last thing you need on your plate is painful blisters. These easily slip on/off for running out the door and have high-density foam for arch support that will keep you feeling good on those days when sitting is just not an option. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Love these sneaks. Lightweight, generous toe box, incredible support, easy on and off. Perfect for travel needs, breeze through airport security, and works with jeans, athleisure wear, and dresses... not enough tread for hiking, but treadmill and road walking/running would be fine. The value is [great]!!" —CahakGirl

Price: $45.59+ (originally $56.99; available in women's sizes 6–11, standard and wide fits, and  seven colors) — and see all AllSwifit deals here

12. A Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro up to 27% off — a pro-level blender reviewers call a "powerhouse" because of how much this compact appliance can do, from salad dressing to hummus. Though no shame if you mostly use it for morning smoothies: those make getting yogurt, fruit, and veg in your day super easy, and taste good! All the parts (except the main base) dishwash, too, a must-have with a busy life. 

www.amazon.com

This blender comes with two  24-oz. to-go cups, two spout lids, and a 20-recipe inspiration guide.

Promising review: "LOVE. It’s sturdy, I use it daily for smoothies, and the blades are very sharp and easy to work on ice and chopping. I feel it’s a great value for all o needed it for. Doesn’t take much room on my counters, and the suction cups on the bottom are a major bonus." —Staci

Price: $79.98 (originally $109.99; available in three styles) — and shop all the Ninja deals here

13. A toy storage unit for up to 28% off, with nine shelves and buckets, so your little one can keep all their stuff neatly organized. It's way easier to clean your room when everything goes in the same place. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This storage toy organizer was a great buy for me. Plenty of room to store my daughter's smaller toys. Perfect size for her room, worth every penny I paid for it. Installation was easy peasy, and every piece was aligned, screws placed with no issues, and the wood is very sturdy. I feel like it will last a long while, as the wood is not flimsy at all." —Brenda

Price: $85.47+ (originally $118.98+; available in four on-sale colors) — and shop all SpaceAid deals here

14. A Hoover PowerScrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner Machine 29% off so you can *poof* vanish those Jackson Pollock-esque stains your toddler seems to leave all over the carpet every time you turn around. Or if your kids are older, it can eliminate the dirt buildup from your teen and all their friends traipsing in and out, because yours is obviously the cool hangout house. Keep those carpets and rugs looking nice and new! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a fantastic machine!! It was so easy to clean. Unbelievably easy. Everything comes apart. Everything. I was able to get the dirty water tank clean, the rollers, the front suction thingy. My old machine was trash, I couldn't clean anything without using skewer sticks and forget trying to clean the rollers! I am so glad I read all the reviews and asked Alexa for comparisons. Also, I was able to do one room with one tank of water! Usually, I had to refill like four times. The machine is definitely smaller than the one I had before (not same brand). I was skeptical of the water tank, but it held more than I thought!" —Stephanie Quezada

Price: $169.99 (usually $239.99) — and shop all the Hoover deals here

15. Or a Bissell Little Green Max Pet Cleaner for 27% off if you prefer something more compact for spot treatments — it will also suck up seemingly impossible spots from upholstery, rugs, car seats, and anything else your sweet but messy little human has left a trail of stains on. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Use it with the Pet Pro Oxy formula to protect against future stains, too!

Promising review: "I don’t have a pet, but I do have a toddler and I have to imagine they’re equally messy. We have several rugs, and with a 1.5 year old toddling around they’ve seen their fair share of spills. This has been a lifesaver for cleaning our rugs! It’s so much easier than spot cleaning with solution and a rag like I was doing before. It’s the perfect size, because it’s easy to tote around the house but still big enough to get the job done. And it’s super effective. Whether it’s caked on food or red wine (oops), this makes it look like it never happened. And seeing how nasty the water is when we dump it out, it’s super effective and we probably would’ve benefited from getting this a long time ago." —Megan

Price: $109.97 (originally $149.99) — and shop all the Bissell deals here

16. A compact Levoit air purifier for 22% off with a true HEPA filter to trap that pesky dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and other particles in the air that are keeping your home from smelling fresh — and make it look like you haven't cleaned in ages, when you and the kiddos totally dusted yesterday. Plus, this has smart features, like the ability to control it from your phone *and* the ability to set a schedule, so it'll automatically set itself to "sleep mode" with "no nightlight" at 10 pm every night. *Brain emoji*-worthy. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Just note that when you get it, you need to take the filter out and unwrap it before using!

Promising review: "I waited over a month to write a review — this air purifier is amazing!! It’s one of those products that you don’t understand how much of a difference it makes until you get one. I have two cats,and my house is all carpet, so the house can smell stagnant sometimes, especially if the AC is off. One of my cats also has asthma, so I got this air purifier mostly for her, but it’s made such a HUGE difference in the way my home smells. Since having it, my house has consistently smelled fresh, clean, and odorless. Even after forgetting to clean the litter boxes, my house has not smelled like cat litter since I’ve had it. It’s very easy to set up. I bought a little plant stand to put it on so it wouldn’t be on the carpet. It’s very quiet, and the app is easy to use. It tells you the life of your filter, which is super helpful, and these filters last for a long time! You can set it up to be on a schedule, so you can set it up once and just forget about it. I recommend this air purifier to everyone. I’m NEVER worried about my house smelling anything but clean now. I would repurchase this a thousand times over." —hailee

Price: $69.99 (originally $89.99) — and shop all the Levoit deals here

17. The Ember Mug 2 for 33% off (just a few dollars more than its lowest-ever recorded price), a smartmug that keeps your bevvy at your ideal temperature for those days that feel like go-go-go and you can't get a sip of coffee until it's already ice cold (personally hate to have to microwave it). Unlike a hot plate, this mug has an 80-minute battery life, so it will continually heat your coffee even when it's removed from the charging base.

Amazon

Promising review: "I purchased this product for my office, and I love it! The first time I realized it had been sitting for 30 minutes, my brain told me the coffee was going to be cold, and I remembered I had this cup now, and I had a temperature-perfect sip waiting for me. I do not take it off the base much during the day, but when I do, I love that it gives me enough battery to enjoy the rest of my cup before returning it to the charging base. I will also keep the cup heated while charging, so you don't have to worry about it losing battery while you are using it. If you do plan on taking it off the base for more than an hour, having a lid will prolong the battery life. I use the lid from my Yeti tumbler, it fits perfectly. I will be purchasing one for my wife for Mother's Day for sure. Highly recommend!"—Zachology101

Price: $99.99 (originally $149.95; available in two colors)

18. A Cuckoo micom rice cooker for 22% off capable of whipping up six cups of perfectly cooked rice. This makes it easy to whip up the perfect side dish (or main course) so you can have fluffy, ready-to-eat rice every time. You can also use it to make oatmeal, polenta, quinoa, grits, and more.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've used the Cuckoo 10-cup pressure rice cooker for a while, so I was excited to try this smaller model. What I love most is that it's compact but can still make up to six cups of cooked rice, which is more than enough for my needs. I have a lot of kitchen appliances, so it's nice to have a rice cooker that's easy to store when it's not in use. It also looks really cute on the counter because of its compact size. Most days, I cook white rice, and this cooker makes the process incredibly simple. I just wash the rice, select the mode, and press start. The rice is ready in about 30 minutes and comes out great every time. I think this is the perfect size rice cooker for a small family of two to four people. Honestly, I wish I had a rice cooker like this when I was a college student." —Saeng Douangdara

Price: $93.49 (originally $119.99) — don't miss the rest of Cuckoo's deals here!

19. A frozen food block maker for 30% off that's designed to freeze liquids (like smoothies, soups, stews, sauces, milk, ice cream, etc.) in space-efficient blocks, which won't take up as much room as bulky plastic freezer containers.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The best find this summer. We have been storing our purees and soups in these blocks, which are so much more practical than random freezer bags. They are a bit more work than plopping a freezer bag. The shape helps with easy storage and allows for a much better use of freezer space. We have them in two sizes. They are sturdy and seal well. Very easy to clean if you have any messes while filling the bag. It's versatile, and good with smooth purees and with stews/curries with chunks." —Ujwala S

Price: $13.99 (originally $19.99) — check out the rest of YouCopia's offerings!

20. Some shower shelving for up to 31% off for your shower that barely has enough square footage for *you* to stand in. This set comes with five different style holders to give your bar of soap, extra-large shampoo bottles, and even your loofah a home, so your floor can stop being a tripping hazard. They are even designed to fit snug in the corner of your shower so you can wash your hair freely without knocking one over. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Works well in my guest bath. Holds products and anything needed in the shower. They are well made. They look nice and stick very well. Nice way to save space and keep the shower clean and neat." —Sara

Price: $19.98+ (originally $25.99+; available in seven on-sale colors)

21. A portable charger for 25% off (a Prime-exclusive deal) with four built-in cables and an LED screen that clearly shows how much juice the power bank has left. With this, you'll be able to charge you phone, your tablet, your e-reader, and your headphones all. at. once!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I rarely write reviews. But this charger deserves it. I bought 3 for my family for Christmas a year ago. The amount of energy they store is [amazing]. They can charge multiple phones and an iPad on one charge. I'm going to buy one for myself. It's pretty light and they haven't stopped working or had any faulty issues with them. A must for traveling convenience. It charges electronics decently. Maybe 45m for an iPhone from empty to full and enough for more uses. It charges itself slow, but that must be how big the charge it can hold. A++++" —davecapt

Price: $29.99+(originally $39.99; available in six colors)

22. A Ninja Pod & Grounds XL Coffee Maker for 21% off to deeply simplify your morning routine, no matter what kind of caffeination you're looking for — this is compatible with K-Cups, brews ground coffee, brews eeeextra strong coffee to pour over ice, and even comes with a built-in milk frother. But the real bonus? A lot of reviewers call out that this is beginner-friendly and easy to use. Also, the slim design means you're not sacrificing much counter space! 

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Ninja coffee maker in action. 

Promising review: "Brews an excellent cup of brewed and K-Cup coffee. I appreciate the fact that all of the accouterments have a dedicated space. The size of the reservoir means I only need to refill it a couple of times a week. Clean up is simple. It brews quickly, and the cup sizes are perfect for me. It takes up far less space than my 8-cup coffee maker, and fits perfectly in its spot on the counter. I would highly recommend this product." —Leonard Jenkins

Price: $99.99 (typically 129.99; on sale in three colors, available in five) — and check out all of the Ninja deals here! 

23. An expandable drawer organizer for 24% off that'll accomodate many drawer sizes and your extensive collection of forks, knives, chopsticks, silicone straws, and other kitchen tools. No more switching dinner plans because you can't find a clean spoon you KNOW is hiding in that drawer somewhere. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "If you’re looking for a high quality utensil holder on a budget look no more! Don’t let the price deceive you! You ARE getting a good deal! This utensil holder is sturdy, easy to use, and looks nice! This fits a lot of utensils comfortably and expands to fit even more. Can fit small or large drawers. Has enough space to organize all your utensils beautifully and is quite durable. I was bit skeptical at first but this feels sturdy and not cheap. I purchased the black one and it gives off a nice modern, clean, expensive look!" —Jeslyn Glover

Price: $7.59 (originally $9.99)

24. A Philips SmartSleep Wake-up Light for 30% off, if you’re trying to fix your mornings and your sleep schedule. The simulated sunrise helps you wake up more naturally, while the sunset lighting feature encourages your body to wind down at night — something most of us *desperately* need. And with 20 adjustable brightness settings, your choice of five soothing nature sounds, and smart touches like tap snooze and an auto-dimming display, it’s basically morning-person training wheels.

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the alarm clockin action. 

Promising review: "Our bedroom has no windows, so waking up in complete darkness every morning has been a struggle. Even after getting enough sleep, my boyfriend and I always felt groggy throughout the day. We used this sunrise lamp for the first time today, and we were both amazed by the difference. We woke up feeling refreshed and didn’t even hit the snooze button! I was worried the light would be too bright or jarring, but it was incredibly natural and soothing to wake up to. It really lights up the entire room with a soft, natural light. We haven’t tried the sound features yet because the light alone has made such a huge difference. If you have a dark bedroom or struggle with waking up, I definitely recommend giving this a try." —Amazon Customer

Price:$76.29 (typically $108.95) — and check out the rest of Philips' deals here! 

25. A remote control couch caddy for up to 29% off (the best price so far) because losing your Fire TV stick in cushions or to the whims of the monster under your couch is suuuper preventable. Or use it to store your phone so you're not distracted during movie nights.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is exactly as shown. Rubber backing keeps it from slipping off. Just the right size to hold everything you need. I recommend it." —Madelyn White

Price: $9.98+ (originally $13.99; available in two sizes and nine colors)

26. A surprisingly lightweight Dewalt cordless drill for 30% off. And hey, adulthood has proven to require quite a few DIY projects from time to time, so it'd be smart to have one of these babies. It's got a brushless motor, a built-in LED light, and a two-speed transmission (perfect for switching between speeds for drilling and fastening tasks without needing two separate tools)!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This drill works fantastically! Great power and feels nice in the hand. Very grippy and durable, battery seems pretty good too, considering the price. Can’t go wrong with DeWalt and I am super happy to add this tool to my collection!" —Julie R.
