These are the Prime Day goodies our editors are snapping up. (Amazon)
We made a career out of shopping. And, yeah, "professional shopper" has a nice ring to it. Some of our parents even understand what we do for a living when we use that title. And when Prime Day comes around, some of the best of us go a little searching-for-Pepe-Silvia level of wild tracking all the best deals. Bad news for us (and our loved ones). Good for you, because that means with all this deal knowledge, when we actually hit add to cart on something, you know it's a good deal. That's why here, we're sharing the Prime Day deals our own shopping editors have bought (so far).
"I have quite a few long flights ahead of me, and this pocket-size Bluetooth transmitter will make it easy to watch movies on the seatback TV with my noise-canceling earbuds. That way I’ll be able to drown out loud talkers, crying babies and other inevitable plane noises and enjoy my in-flight entertainment in peace. I especially have my eye on the Pro since it lets two people — me and my travel buddy — pair headphones simultaneously."
—Amanda Garrity, Gifting Editor
"I heat my coffee up in the microwave thousands of times a day. Fine, I'm exaggerating, but I deserve better! Self-care!!!! I need this to keep my joe steaming at any hour, and have been wanting to treat myself but it's not a cheap splurge."
—Nicole Sforza, Executive Editor
The Ninja Creami is one hot kitchen commodity — it lets you create all kinds of tasty concoctions, including ice cream, sorbet, smoothies, milkshakes and more, with a mix-in feature for upping the ante.
A "fantastic buy," confirmed one reviewer. "... I must say, my purchase of the Ninja Creami left me absolutely thrilled. Not only can I craft velvety ice cream, but I can do so without the less-than-desirable ingredients often found in store-bought varieties."
If acne scars, enlarged pores or a dull, uneven skin tone are keeping you from loving your face, here's an affordable solution. This serum — cherished by over 33,000 five-star fans at Amazon — has been called "heaven sent," a "miracle in a bottle" and "liquid gold."
"I am absolutely blown away by this product," said one shopper. "I have sensitive oily/combination acne-prone skin with lots of redness. I'm noticing a huge difference in less than two weeks already, and even noticed today my forehead wrinkles are starting to disappear!"
"I recently tested the Dyson V15 Detect as part of a big stick vacuum test run I did for Yahoo and I’ve become obsessed with it since. It comes with an optimizable brush cleaner head for adapting to different surfaces (such as dense, woven area rugs or thick, plush carpets), several attachments (including a mini screw brush tool for getting into crevices) and — here’s where it gets really neat — a soft fluffy brush that glows neon green for peak, glowy visibility on hardwood surfaces so you can ensure they’re really clean. I’m not kidding when I say I feel like a member of Ghostbusters when using this thing. I've seen some good deals on the otherwise pricey stick vac this year so this is the item I’d be on the lookout for if I didn’t already own it."

A tablet can be a senior's best friend, offering a wealth of entertainment on a simple device — ideally one with a spacious screen. The Fire Max 11 is about as roomy as they come, with a high-resolution 11-inch display that's bright and beautiful. This is the lowest price on record for Amazon's latest tablet, which is the first to truly rival Apple's iPad. Read my Fire Max 11 review to learn more.
Cleaning your floor can be, dare we say, fun? Yes! At least, it is when you have this No. 1 bestselling mop set in your arsenal. The included bucket has a built-in wringing system so you don't have to use your hands — just place the mop in, press the pedal with your foot and it'll start spinning itself. Plus, the triangular head is helpful for getting into corners, and the handle extends out to 48 inches in case you want to wipe down your walls while you're at it. It's not often on sale for this low, so snag it while it's $10 off.
"This is the easiest and cleanest way to mop!" swooned a content customer. "Absolutely love it, if you can actually love a mop, LOL. ... I've mopped with it approximately 6-7 times and am still using [the] original mop head."
"'Tis the season for ramping up one's sunscreen game and there's not one I like better than Supergoop's. The high-quality Glowscreen SPF 40 serves double duty, offering all the protection I need while leaving behind a seriously dewy, golden glow. This potent SPF is also a complexion smoother: In the summer I use just Glowscreen, a swipe of mascara and berry-hued lip balm and I'm ready to go."
—Jennifer Romolini, Senior Beauty Editor
"I'm in the process of removing as much plastic from my kitchen as possible and have been on the hunt for glass food storage containers. This collection — which Yahoo editors named one of the best storage containers — stands out from similar sets because it doesn't come with plastic lids, but aesthetically pleasing bamboo lids. And right now it's only a dollar shy of the lowest price ever."
—Britt Ross, Deals Writer
"This ultra-hydrating serum is one of the beauty products I like to stock up on whenever it goes on sale. While the snail secretion serum feels slimy and kind of gross, it absorbs into the skin super quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. It's hypoallergenic and free of any artificial fragrances too, which I love. It's over 50% right now for Prime Day — the lowest price all year!"
—Rebecca Carhart, Style Writer
"There's no gadget I love more right now than the X1 drone, which takes off from my hand, follows me around, flies circles around me, zooms out and back and much more — all while capturing crisp 1080p video. It's a must-have for vacations, outdoor activities and amateur filmmaking. Right now for Prime Day it's $120 off, matching a previous all-time low."
—Rick Broida, Senior Tech Writer
"I've been waxing poetic about this long-lasting nail polish for a few years now, but this Prime Day I'm finally going to take the plunge and get myself an at-home version of the system I love at the nail salon. I've sworn off gel manicures because they leave my nails a mess once they start to peel off or I have them removed, which is really a pain. The Dazzle Dry polish system actually lasts two weeks and all you need is regular nail polish remover to remove it — no trips to the salon or chiseling away half a nail at home."
—Lisa Schweitzer, Senior Writer
"As the proud owner of a screened-in porch (I know, exotic), I adore making my outdoor space a little entertainment center in my backyard, complete with string lights, music speakers and the occasional screen-projected movie. However, this all requires electricity, and it can be a pain fumbling with everything manually and setting timers separately — not to mention that I only have a measly two exterior outlets on my entire house. Thanks, 1835 construction! That's why I've had my eye on these Kasa Outdoor Smart Plugs, made for exteriors and easily connected to Google Home, Amazon Alexa and other smart home hubs. We have a ton of Kasa smart products around the house, so this will fit right in. I'm hoping to get a couple of these, which will also double our outlet space since each of the plugs includes two slots. Perfecto!"
