Save big on vacation-saving gems, problem-solving gadgets and more this holiday weekend! (Amazon)
Here's wishing you a spectacular Independence Day! And we're not talking about fireworks. While loads of people are packing their coolers for a summer celebration, we're picking out our favorite 4th of July deals. We're eyeing some wild discounts at Amazon, of course, and while we love the markdowns on big items, right now is a great opportunity to stock up on smaller goods including summer hostess gifts, vacation-savers and problem-solving gadgets.
We particularly adore this batch of buzzy items on Amazon — like the hair-saving satin pillowcases from Bedsure or the waterproof True Wireless Earbuds from Tozo. Each has thousands of fans, and that means something. In our experience, Amazon shoppers are discerning, opinionated and wise. So if a metric ton of them swear by a skin-care gem, a cleaning must-have or something to make dinner prep a little less exhausting, we're here for it. Shop our favorite deals below.
Roll away stress, puffiness and lines and revitalize your skin with this jade roller/gua sha set.
One fan shared before and after pics, raving, "Works wonders. I was on the fence about buying this but so happy I decided to buy it. Within five days you can already see a difference in my jawline from using the gua sha. It is relaxing and debloats my face after a long day. I typically use it morning and night time [with] some facial oil! It’s a must-get!"
If you don't already sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase, you're missing out — it's gentler on your skin and hair than cotton, plus it prevents those annoying creases you get on your face. It stays cooler too!
"The satin pillowcase I purchased has been a game-changer for my sleep and hair-care routine," a satisfied customer said. "It feels incredibly smooth and luxurious, providing a cool, comfortable surface to rest on. Since using it, I've noticed fewer tangles and less frizz in my hair. It's also gentle on my skin, reducing morning wrinkles. The quality and durability are impressive, and it adds an elegant touch to my bedding."
Made with 96.3% snail secretion filtrate (yep, really), this CosRx serum has become a viral favorite for its incredible effect on skin dullness and dryness. With over 44,000 rave reviews from verified shoppers, this formula has a massive fan base — many of whom rave about how hydrated and bright their skin feels after use.
If you've ever found yourself reaching into the backseat, desperately searching for your purse, this mega-popular purse holder is for you. Fasten the hooks between the driver's and passenger's seats to form an easy-to-reach hammock that cradles your essentials.
"This is great for the car," one reviewer raved. "No more turning corners and having my purse sliding, falling over and dumping its contents between the seat and door on the passenger side."
This simple but ingenious summer must-have is two floats connected by soft mesh. That means you can sit on it and have two armrests, or you can kick back and use the floats as head and footrests. Either way, you can get immersed in the water without sinking.
"Dangerously relaxing," wrote a rave reviewer. "The first time I relaxed in the pool with this float, I didn't want to get out of it. My friend floated in it, and she was ready to buy one of her own. I really like how it's not much to inflate! When the entire float is inflatable, it leaves too much room for it to pop. It holds air really well. My favorite summer buy so far!"
If there's one thing you can count on this summer, it's heat. While there might not be air conditioning everywhere you go, you can at least control the weather in your personal space with this über popular handheld fan. It's wireless (and rechargeable), so you can take it anywhere — on the plane, to the pool, on a picnic — without having to plug it in.
"I love this little fan!" wrote one of 42,000 five-star fans. "Recently toured hot, humid Tokyo. Lots of walking around outside. This fan was a lifesaver! Compact so it fits in a pocket or you can hang it from your wrist. Easily charged fully each night. Never ran out of charge and I used it at full speed for hours a day. Best travel gadget I ever bought!"
No need to shell out north of $100 for a pair of great earbuds — these are just as powerful as the name-brand ones. What makes these even better — besides the long battery life and one-step pairing — is that you can control them with just a single touch. Want to pause a song or podcast? Tap once. Adjust the volume? Hold. No need to fish your phone out of your pocket.
"These are my favorite daily wear earbuds by far," shared one of the 185,000+ five-star fans. "They're comfy, stay in all day and the case is compact, which is great because I take them everywhere. The battery in the charging case lasts me days before I have to charge it again. Overall, can't go wrong with these."
Worth noting, we have seen these earbuds drop as low as $14. But the current Prime Day discount is the lowest price we've seen in the past 30 days.

Why keep sleeping on your flat-as-a-pancake pillow when these cloudlike Cozsinoors exist (and can be had for over 50% off!)? Their soft, hollow-fiber filling strikes just the right balance between cushy and supportive, while the breathable cover helps keep night sweats at bay. Plus, they were designed for all sleep postures, whether you prefer to lie on your back, side or stomach.
Who says you have to spend a small fortune on great speakers to get the party going? This guy is a top-seller and has over 138,000 five-star ratings. Don't let the low price fool you: It packs an audio punch, and shoppers love the long battery life (up to 14 hours) and easy setup.
"This speaker is a tiny powerhouse with insane battery life," raved a five-star reviewer. "I use this in my old truck because the radio isn't in great shape. It has great sound and I can go a couple weeks of intermittent use without charging it! It connects easily to my phone, and the color coordinates with my truck interior!"

With this popular air fryer, you can enjoy all of your favorite crispy foods without dunking them in oil. Plus, its compact size won't take up a ton of space — though it's roomy enough to fit up to 2 pounds of fries at a time.
"My new favorite kitchen appliance," gushed a five-star fan. "We finally broke down and bought this air fryer. We love it, have used it almost every day and are still getting the hang of it. It's easy to use and very easy to clean. The basket holds enough food for two people and possibly more if the items are smaller."
If you're like most people, you'll be doing a lot of cooking for the holidays, making this the perfect time to splurge on a new air fryer. This one is the cheapest it's been in a while, so snag before the price goes back up.
This handy little particle picker-upper is ideal for stashing in the car, so you'll always have a way to clean up those fast-food crumbs. It weighs just over a pound, making it easy to reach higher surfaces, and since it's battery-powered, you won't have to deal with annoying cords. It's also 80% off.
It's time to chuck all of your mismatched food storage containers and replace them with this heavily marked-down set. It comes with 12 round and rectangular containers, which are clear so you can easily see their contents. Since they're made of borosilicate glass, the containers are dishwasher-, oven- and microwave-safe (just not the lids), and their airtight silicone seals help prevent leaks. We've yet to see them on sale for lower than this.
Faster food, cooler kitchen — this compact cooker is a no-brainer, especially during the warmer months when turning on your oven is the last thing you want to do. I've used it for everything from cakes and brownies to baked pasta and even roasted tofu and vegetables. It heats up in no time, plus it can fit a decent amount of food: six slices of toast, a 12-inch pizza or even a 4-pound chicken. The LED display has six functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Broil, Keep Warm and Reheat, and I'm positive it'll be getting a ton of use this summer. This is as low as it's been all year!

Nearly 13,000 Amazon reviewers have given this sturdy knife set their five-star seal of approval. The set comes with a chef's knife, bread knife, santoku knife, serrated utility knife, paring knife and six steak knives. Plus, you'll also get a sharpening steel, a pair of kitchen shears and a wooden block to store everything in.
"Finally sharp (and safe) knives," said one happy home cook. "I have been used to ordinary knives until my brother, who is a chef, convinced me to upgrade to Henckels. I must admit I was a bit nervous at first, worrying about cutting myself, but the grip on these knives keeps my hands from slipping. They are extremely sharp and do a great job in the kitchen."
So, your outdoor space is too small for a grill, and you'd really like to avoid a house full of smoke — but you're still craving those charred foods of summer. This baby will sear proteins and veggies like a champ, but its smoke-control system means you won't be breathing in soot while you cook. In addition to a grill plate, it comes with a flat-top griddle (smash burgers, anyone?) and you'll be able to fit up to six steaks at a time on its roomy cooking surface. Bonus: It comes with a food thermometer for accurate results every time.

If you have "clean grout" on your to-do list, chances are you're not exactly champing at the bit to confront this dreaded task. And I can't really blame you; crouching down while furiously scrubbing away for hours on end — knowing there's a very good chance it'll barely look any different once you're done — isn't anyone's idea of a good time. While you can't avoid the job entirely, you can dramatically reduce the amount of elbow grease required with this nifty tool, which I am slightly obsessed with.
It's essentially like an electric toothbrush for your home and scrubs 60 times per second to bust grime out of those hard-to-reach corners and crevices. Plus, it's down to one of its best prices in years.

This isn't your average floor-cleaning duo: For starters, it practically cleans itself, thanks to its nifty wash chamber and wringing system. Plus, it has a 360° mophead for getting into corners and crevices along with an extendable handle that'll keep you from having to bend or crouch. Oh, and you'll also get three reusable microfiber mop pads.

Mugginess just might be the bane of summer, but this highly rated appliance works in spaces of up to 800 square feet to make the air less heavy. It has a quiet night mode so as not to disturb your sleep, and you can choose from seven colored light options for a little illumination. This is as low as it's been all year.
