These practical buys are practically presidential. (Amazon/Kate Spade Outlet)(Amazon)
Long holiday weekends are pretty much synonymous with sales — lots of them! That's why I'm pretty pumped about Presidents' Day. Already, retailers like Amazon, Macy's and Nordstrom are kicking off their major Presidents' Day sales, and you can save big. I've been scrolling all over the web to see what's up for grabs, and I've found the 10 best sales of the day, on top brands like Bissell and Kate Spade.
First up, save 30% on Bissell's Little Green Max cleaner that's made for pet owners. You can also get 70% off a versatile Kate Spade crossbody handbag, 35% off Crest Whitestrips and 30% off Apple AirTags. Of course, there's more, so keep scrolling to get a closer look at these and the rest of today's top deals ahead of the holiday weekend.
This handheld steamer is totally worth the space it takes up if you don't want to waste vacation time ironing all your clothes. It heats up in seconds and removes wrinkles just as quickly. The water tank is big enough to provide up to 15 continuous minutes of steam. And even though it is a bit bulky, it weighs less than 2 pounds.
Yahoo's Kristin Granero put the HiLife to the test and was impressed: "For being so powerful, it's also incredibly gentle and fast (it took seconds to heat up and only a few minutes to de-wrinkle my skirt from front to back)."
This knife set is durable, versatile and beloved by real chefs. It comes with a two utility knives, two paring knives, eight steak knives, a chef's knife, a boning knife, a bread knife, a carving knife, kitchen shears and a honing steel to keep everything sharp. And all of them are dishwasher-safe. No wonder this set is an Amazon bestseller!
"I have never owned better knives," said a shopper. "They cut so easily. I have had them for about a year and still haven't needed to sharpen any of them! I will never own another brand of knives again!"
Your stained carpets and upholstery are no match for the Little Green Max. Bring couches, rugs, curtains and more back to that "fresh from the factory" feel. Just fill one of the tanks with a mix of water and cleaning solution, turn it on and use the hose to start scrubbing away stains and other messes. The dirty water goes into a separate detachable tank that you can easily dump out in the sink.
Now, you've probably seen another version of this machine — the traditional Little Green. The Max offers superior suction, comes with a pet hair tool, has a larger water tank (yet weighs about a pound less) and comes with the brand's Pet Pro cleaning formula.
"So much better than the Little Green Machine!" explained a shopper who previously owned the original model. "It is much easier to clean because pieces come apart that do not on the former one. Also, with the square flat design, it is so much easier to fill and dump the water. ... There is an option of two different scrubbing ends on the wand, and they work so good!"
If you're looking for a do-it-all black leather crossbody, this is it. The minimalist style won't draw too much attention, but its timeless design will have you reaching for it all the time, from work to dinner out to errands.
"Perfect for everyday use," said one reviewer. "It's big enough to fit my wallet and all of the other things that ladies need to carry on a daily basis. I chose black because it goes with everything. And I love that it's a crossover because it frees my hands when shopping. I couldn't ask for a better purse!"
Crest makes at-home teeth whitening a cinch. This pack comes with 22 treatments, with one upper and one lower strip for each session. Just peel one off, apply it over your teeth and leave it for 30 minutes. You'll start to notice a whiter smile in as few as three uses, with the full effect in about 20 days. You'll also get four treatments' worth of 1 Hour Express strips to use on days when you want speedy same-day brightness.
"I've never seen my teeth this white before!" one shocked reviewer wrote. "I've tried using other whitening pens which will sting and burn my gums. This whitening strip doesn't hurt my gums ... It's so easy to put on and remove."
Psst! For an even brighter smile, spend $20 more on Crest's 3D Whitestrips Radiant Express Plus Light. Crest says it will make teeth up to 34 shades whiter with the added use of a light.
Ina uses this KitchenAid stand mixer — also known as the stand mixer to end all stand mixers. Not only does it come with a large-capacity bowl, dough hook, whip and flat beater, but you can choose from over 20 gorgeous colors.
A busy schedule often means less sleep — and dark circles and puffy eyes. That's probably why Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards has been seen wearing these Peter Thomas Roth under-eye patches while filming over the last several seasons. These lavish gold patches feel like a treat to wear, but they actually work to firm, lift and brighten your skin.
"I use these almost every morning before work," said one loyal fan. "I've had puffiness and dark circles under my eyes all my life, no matter how much sleep I get. I put these on before my drive to work and my eyes look great by the time I arrive. Big difference in the before and after. Highly recommend!"
Dry winter air is on its way, courtesy of your home's heating systerm. Combat stuffy noses and dry skin with this compact humidifier that's great for adding a little moisture to your bedroom, living room or den. It's easy to fill and connects to an app on your phone that will tell you the room's humidity level, set a timer, power it on and off and alert you when it needs a cleaning.
"We kept purchasing the cheaper ones and they would either break or get moldy very quickly. We decided to give this one a try and it has been a dream," explained one customer. "It's easy to clean, and even reminds you to do so after 100 hours of use. Once you fill the tank, it lasts forever. The sleep mode is SO sleepy that my toddler doesn't even know it's on... This device is so incognito that I will check the top to see if mist is coming out. Sure enough ... it is."
Slip into these cozy crew socks to keep your tootsies warm at home or in your winter boots. They come in a pack of five that's on sale in a ton of colors, including solids and fun patterns.
"So cozy!" said one shopper. "I work at a campground and walk sometimes eight miles a day. I love these socks. They are so soft and really pretty — but they keep my feet warm and cool. They are great quality and hold up well even with all my walking! Highly recommend."
