Enjoy sunshine and epic savings this holiday weekend. (QVC)
I love a three-day weekend, especially when there are major sales to be found. Retail therapy is guilt-free at QVC's Memorial Day sale, where hundreds of products from top brands like Ninja, Vitamix, Ryka, Sunday Riley, NYDJ and Scrub Daddy are discounted. You'll even find markdowns on favorites from Martha Stewart's gardening, clothing and cooking collections! The picks below make summer entertaining a breeze, cleanup a snap and your beauty routine easier than ever.
Some of the QVC Memorial Day deals I'm eyeing right now? A 17-inch Blackstone griddle that's down to $240 (was $299), Oprah-approved NYDJ jeans for a cool $30 (was $129) and a two-pack of Isle of Paradise's Self Tanning Duo Drops for a low $30 (the retail price of one is usually $29!). If you want to get in on the ice cream-making craze, you can scoop up (see what I did there?) this Ninja frozen treat maker for nearly $70 off.
If you're new to QVC, you'll also score an extra $15 off your first $35 order with code HELLO15. And if you don't want to pay it all in one go, take advantage of QVC's Easy Pay offer and have your items ship right away, while you pay for them in interest-free monthly installments.
Oprah loves them and so do you, and now they're on sale — over 40% off — in time for all of those upcoming holiday shindigs you need to attend. NYDJ Jeans (formerly called Not Your Daughter's Jeans) get you and your body — these jeans truly live up to the hype. They fit well, they last and they're made for real women with real bodies. Reviewers love the "Lift Tuck" technology featured in each pair because it gives you the right amount of support and contour for the perfect silhouette.
But don't just take Oprah's word for it. "NYDJ is all I wear now," revealed this fashionista. "Being a really curvy gal with a Kardashian rear, I need a pair of jeans with flexibility. And I hate heavy denim. I need to feel free and be able to move and sit down comfortably. These are comfortable, fit true to size and flattering. They have plenty of stretch — might get another pair."
If you thought this gardening-tool foursome was just very pretty to look at, you'd be sorely mistaken. Of course, the wooden handles are chic, but they're also designed to fit perfectly in your hands. Plus, the tools are fade-, rust-, and weather-resistant. The set includes a trowel, transplanter, short cultivator and long cultivator — each has a little rope on the end so you can hang it up when you're done.
You'll feel like you have your own personal smoothie shop with this best-in-class blender. Boasting a 2-horsepower motor, it'll effortlessly blitz up ice and frozen fruit, though you could also use it for whizzing up sauces or even grinding up meat.
From soup to nuts (as in, homemade nut butters), this workhorse will level up your meal prep like no other — and this is the best price we're seeing.
A number of my friends who own homes have recently abandoned their outdoor grills for a griddle, and this 17-inch Blackstone is a favorite for cooking everything from burgers and hot dogs to fajitas and kabobs.
It's portable and comes with a stand and a carry bag, so it's great for bringing along to sporting events, camping and family picnics. Also included? A stand, two spatulas, two oil bottles, a scraper and a cookbook.
Everyone loves an outdoor gathering — until the bugs come out, that is. The device attracts uninvited guests using an ultraviolet LED light. Once they’re close enough, a powerful fan sucks them in, and they're trapped for good in an easy-to-empty basket.
It's your best line of defense against the biggest menace of all: the dastardly mosquito. Plus, it's pretty enough not to be an eyesore in the backyard.
If you want a little summertime glow without baking in the sun or getting a smelly spray tan — give these tanning drops a try. You just put a few in your favorite moisturizer, apply it to your face and then go about your day. You can even put makeup on over top.
The drops are clear, but a light tan will develop in a few hours. Just note: The more drops you use, the deeper your tan will be.
Summer is calling us outdoors, and these breathable walking shoes are ready for wherever the day takes you. They're a cinch to slip on, thanks to the padded collar and tabbed heel, and they've got arch support and heel-to-toe cushioning. The design allows plenty of room for your toes and won't slip off your heel.
"Wore these to take my daily walks," said a pain-free purchaser. "Very comfortable in the toe box and no break-in time." Added another: "I love these shoes — they are my third pair. The fit and comfort are excellent for me as I stand and walk so much throughout the day."
This cleaning device does just about everything: use the dry mop pad to pick up dirt, add on the wet mop pad for deep cleaning and turn to the squeegee to get other smooth surfaces sparkling. It comes in this pretty pink or white. Said a fan: "It’s easy to refill with my cleaning solution of choice and it mops effectively. I like that there are multiple options, like a traditional mop head as well as the flat mop."
Some are blessed with good genes, some have Sunday Riley Good Genes — the exfoliant that brings out your inner radiance. But don't just take our word for it: Drew Barrymore made her feelings for this Lactic Acid Treatment known on Instagram. “I’ve been using this product one to two times a week at night and love the results!" she raved. And so will you! Right now, you can score two for just $90 — one will typically set you back $85.
