Battery Operated Wall Sconces

Battery Operated Wall Sconces

Take advantage of Prime Day with home-related deals like these easy-to-install sconces. "I'm obsessed with these battery-operated sconces. They are super easy to install since they don't have to be hardwired, and they look way more expensive than they are. I plan to gift a pair to a family member, who's eager to make his living room more inviting," says Home Design Director Monique Valeris.

PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash

Acne Foaming Wash

Not all of the the best deals have to be super high-tech or expensive. Save a few dollars on items you use everyday, like this highly-rated cleanser that kills acne-causing bacteria.

"This product truly saved my skin. I had really bad cystic acne that I think was caused by other internal health issues, but once that was fixed and I was using this face wash, my acne completely cleared up to the point where my skin was beautiful! My face feels super clean after I wash it and I am basically obsessed and recommend it to everyone who is upset about acne breakouts," says Assistant Commerce Editor Isabella Cavallo.

Air Purifier

If there are any products you've had on your wish list for a while, today might be the day to bight the bullet. Blueair's Air Purifier filters air without making too much noise. Plus, it's 20% off.

"I’ve been thinking about getting an air purifier for a while now. I’ve learned more about the importance of indoor air quality and experienced the worst of it during last summer’s wildfires — I was wearing a mask inside my house because of the smoke. The Blueair 311i+ Max topped GH's list of best air purifiers for its multi-level filtration, and I like the look of it. Today is the day to pull the trigger!" says Executive Editor Beth Dreher.

Original Magic Bullet Blender

Original Magic Bullet Blender

There's nothing more refreshing than a homemade smoothie. But it's no secret that blenders tend to make a mess. Magic Bullet's blender reduces clean up — just sip right out of the cup you blended with.

"I've been hooked on the Magic Bullet ever since my husband gifted it to me several years ago. Mine broke recently and I'm due for a replacement, and the price is right today! It does such a good job of blending frozen fruit for protein smoothies and the personal size makes it a breeze to store," says Home Design Director Monique Valeris.

Ultima Replenisher Hydrating Electrolyte Powder

Hydrating Electrolyte Powder

Ultima's electrolyte powder comes in a variety of flavors so that you can choose how you keep hydrated. "I've tried a lot of electrolyte powders and this is the best tasting one that's sugar free. I like that it comes in a jar, instead of individual packets. It cuts down on waste and I can customize the strength exactly how I like it. This deal is so good, I just added two to my cart!" says Recipe Editor Susan Choung.

Sony Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones

Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones

Wireless, noise-canceling headphones can be a big purchase — that's why it's important to truly evaluate the product and the cost. Today, Sony's wireless headphones are $100 off.

"I genuinely could not make it through a single week without these headphones. They are my holy grail product, to be honest. I can do work in the office, a busy coffee shop or in my very loud home without being distracted by any noises. Plus, I can read and relax on the train and block out the noises of Long Islanders chatting on the LIRR," says Assistant Commerce Editor Isabella Cavallo.

Epic Hero Series The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter Ship

Save money on gifts for your favorite Star Wars-lover this Prime Day. This set comes with a few figurines for double the fun.

"My husband is a Star Wars collector and he gets tempted every time one of the Black Series figures dips below $15. Today, there are a bunch on sale I could find for him, including Saw Gerrara, desert Boba Fett, Bix Caleen and Luthen Rael, which is good for him but bad for the shelf space in my apartment," says Senior Parenting Editor Marisa LaScala.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

"A GH Beauty Award winner, this is the cleansing balm I use most often. It removes makeup, sunscreen and the dirt from the day so easily yet never makes my skin feel dry or stripped (the opposite actually — it's so moisturizing!). I love the buttery soft texture when I massage it into my skin. Couldn't recommend more!" says Beauty Assistant Catharine Malzahn.

Shinery Jewelry Cleaning Cloths

Jewelry Cleaning Cloths

While we spend time cleaning a lot of things around the house — our clothes, glassware, furniture and more — we often forget about the jewelry we wear everyday.

"These on the go jewelry cleaning clothes are a game-changer. I was gifted them last year when I was newly engaged and already purchased another pack. They are so easy to use and the results are great. I feel safe cleaning my diamond engagement ring with these wipes. No streaks or residue are left behind. In fact, my ring never looks shinier after using these wipes," says Senior Social Media Editor Olivia DiTomaso.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream

Ultra Facial Cream

As much as we hate to admit it, the colder weather is coming. Refresh dry skin with this customer-loved facial cream.

It's my go-to moisturizer all year long, especially in the winter with colder temps and drier air coming. I've gifted it to so many friends and family who have also fallen in love with it," says Beauty Assistant Catharine Malzahn.

Gourmet 5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

Gourmet 5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

Gift the chef in your life their new favorite knife. "You ever slice potatoes and they stick to the knife? Not with this razor-sharp Santoku (the ridges reduce the suction on the blade). It's a steal at this price so I'm stocking up for early holiday gifts!" says Recipe Editor Susan Choung.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones

QuietComfort Headphones

Available in seven different sleek colors, Bose's noise canceling headphones are a go-to pick for our editors.

"I have been craving a pair of these ever since my last ones (which I bought second-hand 13 years ago when they were still wired!) finally gave up the ghost. If they were amazing noise-cancelers back then, these will be killer. And they're green! Even better," says Health Newsroom Director Stephanie Dolgoff.

Summer Tops for Women

Summer Tops for Women

Plain tees are super versatile, and these come in 12 different colors. "Prime Day is a great time to stock up on basics — so that's exactly what I'm doing this year. These double-lined fitted tees are perfect for under sweaters and cardigans in the fall and winter months yet cute enough to wear alone when it gets warmer. Adding to cart in multiple colors!" says Senior Commerce Manager Mackenzie Dunn.
