I cover all things shopping, from cleaning and organizing finds to decor and furniture that’s worth every penny. Your home says a lot about you, so I’m always curious about the things people choose to bring into their space — and aim to make it easier to find those things! I’ve written home and lifestyle content for Well+Good and Design Milk.

Amazon Prime Day is here, and our editors are sorting through thousands of deals to find the ones actually worth shopping. Shop our favorite furniture, smart home gadgets, cleaning essentials, and more here, now through June 26.

In the world of retail sales, Amazon Prime Day is basically a national holiday at this point. The four-day savings event is going on now through June 26, and the Apartment Therapy team has spent weeks curating our carts, reading reviews, and holding out on the buys that we hope will be included in the sale. Now that it’s finally here, we’re ready to shop (and save!). 

To help you maximize your savings (and make mindful purchases), I asked my colleagues to share the deals that they’ve been waiting for all year — and threw in a few picks of my own for good measure. Keep reading to see what they’re buying!

Sport-Brella Versa-Brella
$25$1732% off

“I've been waiting for this universal clip-on umbrella to go on sale! I have a great rooftop area in my apartment building, but there's absolutely no shade,” says our Director of Shopping Content Strategy, Katie Maguire. “This umbrella can easily clip onto the lounge chairs so I can safely lie out on (or even work from) the roof, and I love that it can also clip onto beach chairs, coolers at the park, or anywhere else I'd like a little extra shade.”

Shark FlexBreeze Fan
$200$11941% off

“I got a great deal on the viral Shark FlexBreeze (with the mister) this Prime Day,” says AT’s Editor-In-Chief, Charli Penn, “just in time for the spike in temperature. It's so lightweight and portable, and we love toting it inside/outside when needed.”

$119 at Amazon
Homecourt Room Deodorant
$45$3620% off

In addition to everyday essentials, I like to treat myself to little luxuries during the Prime Day sale. This Homecourt Room Deodorant is exactly that. The super-fine mist banishes weird cooking smells in a flash, and makes my apartment smell like a high-end day spa. The Steeped Rose scent is a particular favorite, with notes of rose, ylang ylang, guaiac wood, and a touch of vanilla.

Philips Sonicare 5950 Series Electric Toothbrush
$110$6045% off

“I’m buying a Philips Sonicare toothbrush because I brush so hard I need to have $1700 in dental work done,” says Senior Lifestyle Editor, Lizzy Francis. This model has a built-in pressure sensor to protect sensitive gums, and six brush settings that’ll give you a gentle but effective clean.

$60 at Amazon
nutribullet Chill Ice Cream Maker
$200$14229% off

“Summer is all about ice cream in my house,” says shopping writer Megan Gray. “So my sights are set on the Nutribullet Chill ice cream maker. It's a great price point, and my kids are already stocking up on sprinkles.”

$142 at Amazon
Antarctic Star Nugget Ice Maker
$190$14225% off

Personally? I have my eyes on this nugget ice maker. We have a similar one in the AT office, and it makes my morning iced lattes infinitely more enjoyable. Now, I want to create the same experience at home, and this model looks like it would fit perfectly on my tight countertops.

$142 at Amazon
Cottonelle Ultra Clean Toilet Paper, 32 Family Mega Rolls
$35$3014% off

“I just remodeled my bathroom, and I'm actually looking forward to stocking up on TP, toiletries, and other essentials to fill my linen closet and new vanity with drawers!” says Danielle Blundell, AT’s Executive Home Director. “The Cottonelle Ultra Soft 32 Family Mega Roll pack is first on my list, and it's 15% off during the Prime Day event. Hopefully, that'll have me set for months!”

$30 at Amazon
Tapo 2K Pan/Tilt Security Camera, 2-Pack
$45$3718% off

“I already have one of these Tapo Security Cameras — and love it! It's such great quality and affordable,” shares Stephanie Nguyen, AT’s Lifestyle Director, “I've been wanting to get another one, and this two-pack is on sale during Prime Day for almost 20% off.” She adds, “I even bought two outdoor cameras by the brand, it's that reliable! Those cameras are also on sale for Prime Day.”

$37 at Amazon
Hatch Restore 3
$170$13620% off

Even though I’ve had my Hatch Restore 3 alarm clock long before Prime Day, it’s getting an honorable mention because it’s that good. It’s 20% off during the sale, so if you’ve been thinking about getting one for yourself, now is most certainly the time. The sunrise alarm and soothing soundscapes have changed my mornings for the better, and the wind-down routines have helped me ditch my before-bed scrolling habit.
