Prime Day Deals with Favorites I Have & Love (From Home, Personal & Kids!)

UPDATE — 10/2022: The bulk of this post was published in summer, 2022, with still-available items, so definitely check them out to see current deals. Prime Day deals tend to reappear annually, so I bet most will be back on sale today for Prime Day (Part 2)! While you’re shopping (if you’re a prime member), I thought I’d share a few of my best Amazon purchases since last Prime Day this past summer!

Amazon Purchase Highlights Since Last Prime Day

  • THIS digital Calphalon slow cooker I scored during the last Prime Day — it has surpassed my expectations and has been amazing. I especially love that I can sear a roast directly in the pot by removing it and putting it on the stove, before returning the pot to the base to slow cook.
  • After grabbing THIS Bentgo salad bento box last Prime Day, I ordered THESE Bentgo bento boxes for both Dave and me. I grabbed the black one for him and white for me so even if we don’t take them to work, we can have picnics with Eliza. These are great.
  • Instead of the full kids Bentgo lunchbox, I ordered THIS Bentgo insert for a fraction of the price for Eliza that she can use with her lunchbox. She loves having lunch at home with this too, and it’s great to pre-pack and refrigerate.
  • THIS magnetic travel pill organizer — compact and especially perfect for vitamins and regularly needed items (Tylenol, Melatonin, Tums, etc.)
  • THIS colander — micro-perforated everywhere so nothing gets through and there’s no water left inside; dishwasher safe; rust-proof!
  • THESE silicone cable ties that secure my cords perfectly in THIS travel cord organizer case — I loved packing it for our most recent trip (my last one was too small!)
  • THIS apple slicer that cores and slices apples THINLY in SIXTEEN sections!
  • THESE non-slip rug grippers that go on the corners of rugs — especially good for bathroom rugs, entry rugs, kitchen runners, etc.!
  • THESE appliance cord wraps that keep cords neatly held on the back of your kitchen appliances! Think neat Keurig, Kitchenaid, etc. that are out and plugged in, as well as appliance cord wraps for appliances that are housed in the cabinet (like slow cookers!)
  • THESE over-the-knee ruched boots that come in three calf width options (regular, wide, and extra wide!) I have wide calfs and decided to try these and was SO happy with how they arrived and look! Several colors available with calf widths listed in the description.
  • THIS small portable charger for my phone.
  • I continue to order THESE pj sets for Eliza! The price/quality can’t be beat — you will love them!
  • THIS flat plug power strip and THESE adhesive cable clips are going to allow me to free up space on my nightstand by DIYing a charging station. My current one just takes up too much space!
  • THIS 20-pack of jewel toned scrunchies for Eliza — she wears them almost daily!
  • THIS electric scrubber for grout and other cleaning!
  • THIS sandwich crust cutter — comes with multiple crimping options for uncrustables.

The 18-piece set deal for my glass Rubbermaid food storage containers sold out early last time! Definitely check to see (HERE) if these have returned and are back in stock for the event!

It’s Amazon Prime Day — well, actually days — from now through tomorrow (7/13), and instead of sharing all the things, I thought I’d exclusively share the things I have and love that are on special. You can definitely get sucked into a black hole sorting through the tens of thousands of specials over the next couple days (and I’ll definitely set aside some time to do my own scouring), but I was stoked to see some of my favorites are part of the annual sale this year. Many I’m including I’ve shared here on KN before and many are some of your favorites from the past. Below, you’ll find general deals for home and life, and then later in the post, I’m sharing tried and true favorites for young kids. Some deals are exclusively offered to Prime members, others are for everyone. Most deals are just for Prime-Day, and a couple have big coupons on their listings today. They’re all random and they’re all awesome!

*NOTE: All prices are current as of the time of publishing but can change at any time.

Follow Lightening Deals and start times HERE.

Three things to keep in mind for Prime Day…

  1. Are there any Christmas (or birthday/shower) gifts you can go ahead and knock out?
  2. Are there any regularly used household items/toiletries you need to stock up on?
  3. In addition to the great deals, most everything ships free!

Some of my favorite Prime day scores from years past aren’t even the single large products, but the deals on inexpensive everyday items. I’ll be showcasing some of the items in today’s post over on Instagram stories as I can , so if you aren’t already, you can follow me HERE and tune in 😉

My new outdoor rug (1) for this year (I got the 5x7ish version) is on sale for $61! It’s held up great through the heat, weather, rain, and other elements and I’ve been so pleased with it this year! Here’s a peek at what it looks like…

Another one of my fav Prime Day deals, I took a chance on THIS set of inexpensive pillow covers (2) last year for the front porch rockers and was so surprised by the quality and durability! You won’t believe the deal — there are a TON of sizes and colors but to give you an idea, the 22″ covers (they come in a set of 2) are under $13 for the set today HERE. While they aren’t intended for outdoors necessarily, they work perfectly on our porch. They come in a ton of colors and sizes and I loved them so much, and they were such an unbeatable value, I got some for the back porch this year! These are the 20″ version in light beige on the rocking chairs…

Inexpensive Porch Pillows

And here’s the 22″ version in black on the back porch, with 22″ light beige pillows coupled with them. They’re awesome. You can check them out in all the sizes and colors HERE; I love THESE down alternative pillows with them (size up 2″ on the pillow!) — also on Amazon.

BACK PORCH SECTIONAL PILLOWS

After frustrations with a particular kitchen drawer, with flimsy cardboard boxes taking over, I found THIS wooden baggie organizer (3) to store our baggies and to try to lessen the clutter factor.It’s gained so much popularity, it goes in and out of stock and there’s a bunch of knock-offs now (this is the original) but today, it’s back and it’s on major sale — 32% off, plus a 15% off coupon HERE. This quick drawer upgrade took less than two minutes but has made a huge difference! I love that they are all separate from each other so you can eliminate a size you may not need or fashion them into different configurations. They’re also compatible with so many brands — they’re all listed within an image on the product listing HERE.

Favorite Drawer Organizer for Baggies

Plastic Food Storage Bag Organizer Set

THESE fabric bins (8) with handles were a recent addition to my office and were an easy, affordable way to add some attractive storage in plain site. They come folded (easy to store) and come in a set of 3. I have the jumbo size, but there are several sizes and colors available HERE.

Best of Amazon Prime Day 2022

Coffee table books can be expensive but today, there are a ton that are Buy One, Get One for 50% off — two of my faves (Made for Living (5) and Live Beautiful (6) ) are part of the deal! You can also peep my wood bead garland (11) on the coffee table that’s just over $6 for Prime Day!

Decorating Ideas for a Small Living Room- Full Makeover Reveal

I recently FINALLY switched all my old, plastic, stinky, stained, and gross plastic food storage to THIS Rubbermaid Brilliance glass set (7). I loved it so much I quickly added more individual pieces and set to amass my collection and today for Prime Day, the variety set is on sale for almost 40% off HERE! The lids are clear plastic but microwavable on the top rack — I’m so glad to have these that will last and go from baking/freezing to cooking and leftovers!

Over the past few years, my mom and I have converted so many friends and family members to THIS lightweight expandable hose (9). It’s so easy to manage, confusingly light, and everybody who sees it in person has to have one. We have the 100′ version, but it also comes in a 25′, 50′, 75′ version, too. I keep it tossed in a planter — no fuss and best of all, NO HEAVY HOSE REEL! I’ve shared this so many times but if you have yet to see what it’s all about, today is a great deal to try it. Find it for 20% off today, HERE . I used THIS concrete fluted planter on the more visible side of the house (comes in a bunch of sizes and several colors HERE!) but used THIS similar one made of resin in the back of the house.

This cute and functional bathroom accessory — our shower squeegee (10)— comes in 4 colors, 3 sizes, and is 20% off for Prime Day! It works so well and the adhesive is really durable. I matched our shower hardware but I love the gold version HERE!

Best of Amazon Prime Day 2022

The GE Profile Nugget Ice Maker (12) was my Prime Day splurge last year when I bought it for Dave for Christmas (it sat at my mom’s house for months!) It’s set up in his man cave (where he has cocktails most often) but I like running down and grabbing it for our dinner glasses. It’s the perfect ice and this year, it’s back for $150 off HERE! Make sure you have space for it because it is sizable. You can run a water line to it or use the water reservoir (which is what we’ve done thus far).

I upgraded from Airpods to Airpod Pro (1) a couple years ago and I wear them just about all day, daily. Today is an awesome time to grab them if you’ve been waiting — for yourself or a Christmas gift — because they’re on sale for 32% off for Prime Day HERE.THIS remote control wifi garage door opener (2) (works via app on your phone) is what we have and use at our house. My favorite part is that my mom also has the app on her phone and she can come and go as she pleases. If we’re away from the house and can’t remember if we closed the garage door, it’s simple to check and close it from wherever we are. Today, you can find it for just $39.99 HERE!

Not only is THIS stretchy belt (4) on sale for Prime Day (I have two colors!), but there’s also a coupon on the listing that will bring it down an extra 10% off to $7.91! Such a crazy deal. I like to belt some of my more flowy dresses to give them a bit of a waist — with the stretch, they’re incredibly forgiving, too.

THESE claw hair clips (5) are great quality, come as a set of four, and are just $7.19 today for Prime Day! They’re a great size — not too big but big enough to put all your hair up — and are incredibly durable.

Best of Amazon Prime Day 2022

I made the switch myself to silicone body scrubbers last year, and this year, Dave made the switch too when I got him THIS silicone body scrubber (6). They’ve said for a long time that loofas are nasty with all the bacteria they hold and I know I didn’t switch mine nearly often enough. This silicone body scrubber fits your hand so easily and it’s 35x more hygienic than other brushes. Yes, it still foams and is so incredibly easy to rinse and clean. It comes in several colors and is on special for Prime Day for less than $6 HERE!

Best of Amazon Prime Day 2022

I got THIS Meater (smart meat bluetooth thermometer) (7) for Dave — per his request — as a gift. He grills a ton and if you grill or have someone who grills — especially on the Big Green Egg — as much as Dave, this gadget is awesome! It measures the internal meat temperature and the external temperature, up to 527 degrees simultaneously and you can monitor it on your phone. It gives you alerts, estimates your cook time and more. It’s one of Dave’s favorite gadgets and today, it’s 20% off HERE!

Best of Amazon Prime Day 2022

THIS dumbbell set (9) was another purchase I made in 2020— right in the middle of when dumbbells were impossible to find. There’s a few weight options available but at almost 50% off for Prime Day, these are the best price I’ve ever seen them! You can check out all the colors, weight amounts, and options HERE.

Cute Ladies Dumbbell Set from Amazon

While admittedly, not the most “fun” thing to buy for yourself, a few years ago. I needed a scale that was accurate — the one we had was off several pounds and would read differently each time I stepped on it. I wanted something (a little more sleek) that was inexpensive and basic. THIS scale (10) looks great, works great, and totally fits the bill! It’s under $15 for Prime Day and has almost 120k positive reviews now!

A Prime member exclusive, a pack of 100 black thin velvet hangers (11) is only $27.49 today (40% off!) HERE. I have preached about these so many times and even gave away sets as a giveaway one year because I’m such a fan. In addition to the 100 count, there are smaller counts, too. They save so much space, your clothes actually stay put, and bringing all items to one level height makes it so much easier to see what you have. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make the switch in your closets, this may be it.

Hanging throw blankets in the closet for storage and organization

We use slim velvet hangers for Eliza too — especially important for growing kids closets — and they have the kids version on sale for Prime Day HERE.

This foot massager (12) was a little out of character for me but it has been worth its weight in gold. I love that it doesn’t just roll the bottoms of your feet but has air compression also to squeeze and relieve the sides. It has multiple settings, depending on how much pressure you prefer, as well as a heat setting. This one IS part of Prime Day and makes a great gift! I keep mine under my desk and while it has a 15 minute setting, I typically use the 30 minute setting each session. Today, it’s $50 off, plus, it has an additional 5% off coupon to tap on the listing HERE.

You can find them on sale today for Prime Day HERE for 20% and 30% off!

Kids Book Nook and Reading Area in Playroom

I just shared THESE a few weeks ago! Admittedly, I’ve always been a pj snob when it comes to what Eliza sleeps in. It stemmed from wanting her to wear the softest gowns and sets when she was a baby  — both for her skin and also because I loved how it felt holding her. And since then, my affinity for bamboo, modal, and stretchy, cozy pjs has only grown. It’s also been an *almost* embarrassing (but worth it to us) splurge — I typically go for small boutiques with hefty price tags but then I found the softest pjs on Amazon with a price tag of 60%+ less. I started with the pant sets and long sleeve tops (just over $15 today!) and then went to the short sleeved tops and shorts (under $15 today!) So soft, stretchy, and perfect. They are ribbed, come in TONS of colors (we ordered purple, yellow, and orange HERE and a striped green set HERE. They are made to have a fitted fit, run TTS, and I will continue to purchase them over and over. They come in a ton of colors and if you didn’t grab them before for your kids to try, grab them today HERE. Here’s Eliza in one of her sets — the pale yellow…

20 Favorite Recent Purchases

THIS dust sweep mop set (3) is one of the only remaining  toys on our main floor and Eliza uses it all the time during “chores”. Today for Prime Day, it’s 50% off and under $20 HERE.

I got THESE stainless steel tumblers (4) for Eliza this year — they come as a set of 2 in lots of colors — but my favorite part is that the straws are flexible silicone — super safe! They also match out “grown up” cups, which she loves ;). Today, They are over 30% off HERE!

Magnatiles (5) are some of Eliza’s favorite toys to build with — we have combined a couple sets now! Today, THIS set is 30% off for Prime Day. It makes a great plan-ahead Christmas gift if you order now…

THIS metal toy grocery cart (6) is a hot item each Christmas but by the time Christmas gets here, the price is double. Today, this grocery cart is 45% off for Prime Day HERE!

Toy Storage and Playroom Organization Ideas

THESE dinosaur bath bombs (7)  were a huge hit with Eliza — and in addition to the awesome colors of the eggs, each comes with a dinosaur inside! A set of 12 is only $16.99 today HERE — at Christmas last year, I spent $22!

Just as I’m picky about Eliza’s pjs, I also got pretty picky with her undies (8). We started using them at the beginning of potty training and they withstood some major trials 😉 They are cotton, thick, and comfortable with a nice waistband. She loves picking out which prints and colors she is going to wear each day and she has a BUNCH of sets — they have held up SO much better than the one set of Target undies we purchased. They have a lot of sizes and lots of sets with different print options and they’re one of my fave Prime Day deals! They have over 6k reviews and a perfect 5* rating for a big reason…

We didn’t too overboard in “Eliza-proofing” the house but one area we did focus on was applying magnetic locks (9.) to the kitchen cabinets. These are so easy to install and are also 25% off today HERE. You use a magnet by placing it on the outside of the cabinet, which unlocks the cabinet door to open it — it comes with one but we ordered an extra pack (which are also on major sale) to stash them all over the kitchen HERE. While we’ve removed most locks now, we still have locks on the liquor cabinet and cleaning cabinet. They have been awesome!

Kitchen Cabinet Locks for Kids

Lots of games (10 & 11) are on sale for 30% off today! I mention Candy Land & Hi Ho Cherry-O because those are Eliza’s faves right now 😉 They’re actually in the $8 range and it’s a great time to grab a few for future gifts (or a rainy day!)

THESE veggie and snack shape cutters is my more “adventurous” contribution to cute snacks, and today, they’re almost 50% off! I’ve shared the result of these on Instagram stories in the past — the set comes with several shapes that I’ve used on everything from cheese and pancakes to cucumbers and melon. Plus, it has a little tool that makes it simple to push the shapes out. Today for Prime Day, they’re currently on sale for $8.49! Like most everything, they come with free shipping 😉

    Thank you for sharing! Do you know if once the sale price isn’t listed do they bring it back tomorrow? I went to order the glass Rubbermaid containers which was 40% off you listed but got busy and now it’s not showing on sale.

      Hi Ann, Thank you for taking the time to stop by. I don’t know for sure, but imagine that the price won’t go back down today. It looks like the 8-piece set is currently 17% off.
