We're carrying a torch for these illuminating wonders. (Amazon)
Mary, Mary, there's no need to be contrary this time of year. Lovely warm nights, an evening by the garden or pool ... what could make summer even better? We've got an idea that doesn't involve silver bells or cockle shells — these enchanting solar garden torches, which can light up your backyard when the sun finally goes down. Amazon has put a popular eight-pack set on sale for a can't-miss-it price of $29.
There's no need to spend an hour on your knees furiously scrubbing away at your shower when you have one of these on hand. It's garnered thousands of great reviews and features two adjustable speeds to cut through bathtub grime, soap scum and grout stains with little to no elbow grease on your part. Its retractable handle allows you to clean without crouching over, and it comes with four brushes for tackling a variety of spaces in your home.

Perfect for getting into small corners and busting away grime from grout, this battery-powered gadget scrubs 60 times per second to save you time and effort.
"I never write reviews — but I had to write about this amazing little tool," wrote a five-star fan. "I just bought a new house and wasn’t going to replace kitchen and bathroom floors. I spent an hour or so with this little tool and some grout cleaner, and my old kitchen floors look alive again. I’m shocked. And very, very happy."

Want to start bedtime on the right foot, er, head? This chill pair of pillows will help get you through sticky summer nights. Thousands of satisfied slumberers rave about their soft yet supportive feel, and their breathable down alternative fill helps promote airflow for a more comfortable slumber. According to the brand, they're suited for all sleep styles, whether you tend to rest on your back, stomach or side — and they happen to be a record-low 80% off.
"These pillows have been super good to me in helping relieve the neck/shoulder pains I was experiencing with the pillows I had before," raved a reviewer. "They stay cool throughout the night or when I’m napping. They're comfortable, not too flat, not too puffed. Just right. Get them!"
Yard in need of some heavy-duty pruning? This small but mighty chainsaw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. Plus, the top-seller is cordless for even more convenience.
One Yahoo editor gave it a try, saying, "While testing the Saker, I first noticed that it was very easy to hold in one hand. I also appreciated the safety features, including a safety lock that must be pressed before the saw activates. This gave me some comfort that it wouldn't just 'go off' if I squeezed it too tight while walking between locations. It's also easier to use than something like pruning shears, which can be heavy and unwieldy and take much longer to get the same job done."

There's a reason more than 10,000 people purchased this cooling sheet set in the past month — several reasons, in fact. For starters, it's made of brushed microfiber that feels much softer than its affordable price tag would suggest, and the moisture-wicking material will help you stay dry while you snooze.
Add to that the fact that these sheets are pill-, wrinkle- and fade-resistant? No wonder sleepers are comparing them to pricier bedding brands like Brooklinen. This is as low as they've been since Black Friday.

In addition to helping cut down on food waste, these wildly popular bins allow you to group your food products and beverages by category for a more cohesive, easy-to-navigate fridge. Juice boxes, veggies, fruits, sauces, dressings — each can have their own designated space. Plus, if something happens to spill, it'll be contained in the bin, which is much easier to clean than an entire sticky fridge shelf. This is close to the lowest price I've seen, so grab a few sets for your pantry and under your sinks too.
These lights are easy to install, waterproof and battery- and cord-free.
Not only does the solar-powered set include eight lights (versus the standard four), but the added on-page coupon brings it down to the lowest price we've seen all year. And because these lights are solar-powered, you won't have to spend money on batteries. Thank you, Mr. Sun!
Short answer? They look fantastic. Long answer? They charge during the day when the sun's out, and then they come alive with a soft, flickering light at night — no need to turn them on or off. Depending on how much direct sunlight they've gotten during the day, the torches provide up to eight hours of light. Meanwhile, each one sits on a plastic stake and pole that can be inserted directly into the ground without tools. Should any of the lights burn out, Kurifier offers a one-year replacement warranty.
Artfully place them around the backyard — they give off a fire-flickering look — or use them to light up the pathway to your front door. You can even try lining the pool with them for a relaxing night swim — after all, they're waterproof. And if you have beach or camping excursions on your calendar, they're easy to pack so you can have soft lighting on the go.
Nearly 7,000 Amazon shoppers have given these lights glowing five-star reviews, with one reviewer even sharing that the "little flames pack a big atmospheric punch."
👍 Pros:
"Super easy to assemble and install," wrote this five-star shopper. "Have had them out for a couple of weeks, and even in the shorter days they're holding their charge and glowing a long time. Great path markers."
"We got these lights to place around our garden to make spring/summer a little more fun," shared another pleased Amazon customer. "They are bright, festive and look really good. Lightweight and still sturdy, they seem to be holding up well. And they stay lit for a long time."
"They've been 'burning' for four years straight, through summers, falls, winters, including heavy snow storms and springs," wrote a longtime fan. "They are realistic-looking. I love them." Meanwhile, another Amazon reviewer says that the lights can "stay on until 5 a.m. in the summer."
👎 Cons:
One Amazon customer notes that the lights are more decorative than not: "They don't put out a lot of light. So if you are looking for a product to light up a walkway, this is not the one. If you are looking for aesthetics only, this is perfect." Said another: "Gets the job done, not as bright as we hoped, though."
"I like the fire-flickering look," wrote a final fan. "Unfortunately, one broke just pushing it into the ground. Thin plastic material. Be gentle when placing them in the ground!"
