The summer sales continue to roll in this week with discounts on all sorts of things to make warmer days better: waterslides, lightweight tanks, especially effective deodorant, double-insulated water bottles, and more. We rounded up the best deals on the best summer stuff plus a few other finds that are great for any season.
If you’re looking for an activity for the kids this long weekend (or, honestly, for some fun-loving adults in a vacation rental), you’ll find a bunch of outdoor toys on sale at Amazon — including this water slide for just $10.
Spin the wheel, push the lever on this sprinkler toy, and get a point if you don’t get splashed in the face.
Baristas generally agree that a conical-burr grinder is the best for your beans, though it can be pretty expensive. This one from OXO is even cheaper than usual and, according to our editor Maxine Builder, who has owned one for many years, performs as well as other, more expensive machines she’s tried.
Shopbop’s summer sale is going strong with a whole slew of new discounts, including various Boy Smells candles.
This breezy striped tank is the sort of thing that could go from brunch to the beach.
Some go-with-anything Converse low-tops (that would actually pair quite nicely with that tank).
Kosas’s sitewide summer sale starts today with a 20 percent discount on all of our favorites, including this AHA deodorant that makes your armpit inhospitable to bacteria and keeps that sweaty smell at bay.
Rio Viera-Newton’s favorite concealer for a fresh-faced summer look is also on sale. She says it’s an “excellent choice for anyone with dry skin who just wants a little bit of coverage every day.”
Jabra makes our favorite earbuds for Android users with a snug fit, long battery life, and impressive sound quality. This pair from the brand is particularly suited to phone calls and virtual meetings with a seven-hour battery life and active noise cancellation to keep you connected all day.
Lots of already-on-sale stuff is an extra 20 percent off at Madewell with the code YESPLEASE, including this medium-dark-wash pair of straight-fit jeans. Madewell’s Perfect Vintage jeans are some of our favorite mom jeans thanks to their slim cut that keeps the silhouette “flattering and not dumpy,” according to stylist Samantha Brown.
For a while now, we’ve named Hydro Flask’s standard water bottle our very favorite owing to its insulated stainless steel (in tons of colors) that keeps water cold for hours. This tumbler has all those same features: double-wall insulation that keeps water cold for up to 24 hours in a pleasing array of color choices, many of which are about 30 percent off at REI.
There are lots of ways to make your kitchen more sustainable, but one of the easiest ones is to swap out plastic wrap for these cute patterned beeswax wraps. These ones come recommended by multiple experts, and right now you can get a pack of five for less than $20.
