Sharing a roundup of my top finds from this year’s Prime Day!
Hiii friends! How are you? I hope that your week is going well! We celebrated Father’s Day, the Pilot and I had a much-needed date night, and P had a soccer friends swim party.
Today, I wanted to share a roundup of the best finds from Prime Day sales.
TBH, this sale can be overwhelming and so many creatorsare sharing their favorite finds. I wanted to make my list a bit smaller, majorly focusing on quality over quantity. Everything on this list is something that we use and love, or that I’m planning on buying. It’s a great time to stock up on some things you need, new products you’ve had your eye on, or maybe order a couple of holiday gifts in advance.
Here are my top picks for this year!
My Amazon storefront has the full roundup for easy browsing, too.

The best deals from Prime Day (things you’ll actually use)
House and cooking finds:
This electric kettle. I have a similar one and use it to make tea every single night.
A KitchenAid mixer. We got one for our wedding, alomst 20 years ago, and it still looks and works extremely well.
Little Green Machine. With kids and pets…this is essential.
Great deal on a Dyson cordless vaccuum. Ours died, but I’m thinking of replacing it.
A healthier air fryer. We have a very similar one and I’m so glad that it’s not leeching plastics and chemicals into the food.
An Instant Pot! I use this every.single.day. It’s great for busy school nights and also makes the most perfect rice.
Plastic BPA free wine glasses for poolside wine.
Owala water bottles! We love ours. When I went to create the link, it told me I’ve bought 6 of them!
Kindle. I love having one because it keeps me from scrolling on my phone.
The only blender you ever need.
I use these glass meal prep containers every day.
Beauty + skincare:
Medicube capsule cream with PDRN. I recently fell in love with Medicube (like this Vitamin C cream) and their PDRN products are amazing.
This sleep mask. It has zero eye pressure and it’s my go-to for travel and during the summer months when the sun is awake before I’d like to be awake. I’ll wake up around 5am with the sun, put on this sleep mask, and fall bask asleep for a couple more hours or until the dogs wake me up.
Really tempted to try this at-home hair zapper.
I’ve been using this hair oil once a week and loooove it.
Women’s fashion:
The most I’ll spend for these trendy jellies shoes.
This looks just like my favorite Tuckernuck dress.
This beaded gem stone necklace is so cute.
This dress is giving Anthro vibes.
I had a similar suit to this one and wore it for years – love that it’s sexy but still flattering.
Fitness and gym equipment:
A weighted vest. I like to use this while I’m on the walking pad for extra resistance.
Bala bangles. Love these for sculpt and barre classes.
Ordering these barefoot sneakers for weightlifting.
Kids + summer finds:
The famous watermelon ball. This has been a huge hit at our summer pool parties.
We love this portable JBL speaker
I’ve linked to everything on my Amazon storefront, too. You can grab the link and everything is listed here!

Executive Summary
Full Take
The narrative functions as an invitation to consumption framed by personal experience and perceived value. The structure establishes an immediate rapport by offering curated "best finds," which leverages the emotional appeal of scarcity and quality assurance, positioning the author as a trusted curator. This pattern exploits the reader's desire for convenience and validated choices (reducing decision fatigue) while simultaneously creating urgency ("Prime Day deals").
The reliance on affiliate links transforms personal opinion into monetizable action, establishing an authority-to-transaction pathway that blurs the line between genuine recommendation and commercial solicitation. The emphasis on "quality over quantity" serves to mitigate skepticism regarding mass marketing by implying that the author has performed a rigorous selection, thereby sidestepping external critique of the sheer volume of deals. This is a form of soft authority game where the reader accepts the recommendations not just for the product's utility, but for the perceived efficacy of the recommender's taste.
The underlying assumption is that external validation (the author’s choice) equals internal value (the consumer’s benefit). By focusing on items that are frequently used or desired (e.g., daily tea kettle, essential pet/kid gear), the content taps into systemic anxieties about optimizing life and managing resources. The implication is that following this curated path leads to optimized living, reinforcing a cultural paradigm where personal experience dictates purchasing decisions.
