We've been waiting for this day for a long time, and it's finally here. That's right: Prime Day has arrived, and we're in hot pursuit of those coveted Amazon Prime Day lightning deals. After lots of—albeit fast—searching before the sales disappear, we found quite a few products worth mentioning. If there were ever a day made for impulse shopping, it's today, so if you don't score something on your list, there's no need to fret. Just be sure to check back later (read: every few hours.)
The best thing about the famed lightning deals is that, like lightning itself, they strike fast. In honor of their impressive speed, we'll be updating our list throughout the course of the sale extravaganza, depending on what's being discounted. Of course, because we're home-obsessed shopping editors, all of our top picks will be furniture, kitchen, and appliance related.
So if your space is in need of some sprucing up on the cheap, you've come to the right place at the perfect time. From a 43-inch smart television for 50 percent off to a small space-friendly storage cabinet for more than 50 percent off, there are a lot of solid picks ahead. Happy Prime Day from the shoppers at House Beautiful to the shoppers glued to their screens at home.
We love a vacuum—especially one we don't have to drag around our home. Enter robotic vacuums like this Narwal one, which pairs with an app on your phone. You can program a cleaning routine so that when you're asleep, at work, or on the couch, your vacuum (and mop) can deal with the mess for you.
Weighing less than seven ounces, this is the ideal portable speaker because you can just pop it in your purse for a day (or night) out. After all, no event is as fun as it is with a banging soundtrack.
If you've never slept on a pillowtop, this is your chance because one of the most luxurious options on the market is on sale for less than $85—down from $130. It's quilted so that the plush filling doesn't shift while you sleep.
There's no such thing as too many hangers. At the very least, they offer an excuse to go shopping. These ones are our go-to because they're velvet, so even the smoothest straps or sleeves won't slide off, and because they're thin and hardly take up any space.
This ceiling fan works as well indoors as it does outside, so depending on where you could use an extra chilly breeze, this will come in handy. It's also complete with an LED light, so there's no need to snag a lamp that pairs well with the sleek, bright white fan.
Summertime calls for al fresco feasts, and it's our personal opinion that a well-deserved pizza night is in order. This stainless steel oven will whip up delicious, crispy pies in a matter of minutes.
This set of two sleeping pillows is infused with a cooling gel that, as its name implies, will keep you from waking up in night sweats—no matter how hot it gets in the summer.
Even plastic baggies designed for the freezer are prone to air bubbles that damage or spoil your food, so if you are someone who likes to pop treats, meat, or anything else into the freezer to enjoy later on, you'll need this nifty little gadget.
If you live on or near a beach, you'll need a wagon that can hold up to 220 pounds. Not that you'll have more than 200 pounds of beach essentials, but it's nice to know that you can put anything from towels to your kids in here without straining your back. It's also completely collapsible, making storing it super easy.
Any cook can use a set of chef-quality knives—especially when they come in a stately wooden block with a built-in sharpener. This set of 20 knives includes everything from paring to serrated knives.
Toppers not only make the bed more comfortable, but they also protect the mattress. This one is a three-inch thick oasis made of cooling memory foam—the perfect summer buy.
Any loyal House Beautiful reader knows that we have a thing for luxurious sheets sets. This one, made of 100 percent cotton, is easily one of our favorites—and not just because it's less than $30 for Prime Day.
Compatible with K-Cup pods or grounds, this coffee maker will make your morning routine that much easier. Just program it the night before. If the sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee doesn't wake you right up, the caffeine certainly will.
Raised garden beds are ideal for any impatient gardeners who don't want to wait until the peak season to enjoy their blooms. Raised garden beds offer better water retention, improved drainage, and an earlier growing season.
Calling all at-home entertainers: This charcuterie set includes not one, but two boards and a pull-out drawer complete with four essential cheese knives.
This 43-inch LED 4K smart television is a whopping 50 percent off right now. No, we don't mean 50 percent off today; we mean right this moment. Because it's a lightning deal, the price will go back up soon, so if you need a new TV, now is your chance to score a good on without spending too much.
If you've been holding off on snagging perhaps Amazon's best piece of technology because it was too expensive, now's a good opportunity to swipe it before the price goes back up. Right now, the virtual assistant is only $30!
Have you ever seen a better deal? Right now, you can score this powerful vacuum, which comes with several useful attachments, for nearly 80 percent off. Now that's an insane deal worth cashing in on.
