The inflatable tube guy requires a 9V battery, which is not included. Promising review: "OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark Check out a TikTok of Yankee Candles in action. Promising review: "My house smells like fresh-baked cupcakes!!!!

Promising review: "These little guys sit on my desk like tiny, judgment-free therapists. Had a bad meeting? Grab a Pop-Tart. Long day? Pop-Tart. Questioning all life choices by 2:47 p.m.? Definitely Pop-Tart. They don’t solve my problems, but they do make me feel seen, supported, and slightly happier — which honestly is enough. Highly recommend for coworkers, offices, or anyone surviving adult responsibilities one day at a time." —Sherry Price: $9 (typically $16.99; available in 18 other styles of emotional support snacks and figures) — and check out all more What Do You Meme? deals here!

Promising review: "Love Dunkin but have never tried their refreshers. These are now one of my top favorite drink enhancers. These packets are super affordable! They are also extremely tasty and don’t leave the aftertaste some water enhancers or powders do. They come in a variety of flavors, and all are equally yummy! It’s also 'refreshing' that these don’t cost an arm and a leg. I plan to order more today. I love that these will help you meet your daily water intake goals easily!" —Mississippi Mama!

The Lip Glowy Balm is perfect for daytime — it gives a sheer tint, beautiful shine, and keeps my lips soft without feeling sticky. Then at night, the Lip Sleeping Mask works like magic. I wake up with smooth, hydrated lips that feel completely refreshed. Together, they keep my lips moisturized 24/7. The packaging is also chic and easy to carry. Highly recommend if you want soft lips around the clock!" —Clarissa W. Price: $20.25 (typically $27) — and check out all the other Laneige deals here!

Hello, I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times! Price: $23.99+ for a pack of 12 (typically $29.99; available in 10 flavors) — check out the rest of the Built Bar deals here! Promising review: "The 36-pack Play-Doh set is an absolute creativity booster! With a wide variety of colors, it offers endless possibilities for sculpting, mixing, and imaginative play. My daughter loves crafting everything from animals to pretend food, bringing her ideas to life with vibrant shades. The quality is excellent, with soft, pliable dough that’s easy to mold and shape. Whether she’s making detailed sculptures or playful scenes, this set keeps her engaged for hours." —Arwen Price: $18.49 (typically $28.99) — and shop all Play-Doh deals here! Check out more Prime Day deals for parents here. Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie Price: $9.95 (typically $15.97) — and check out all the other Ototo deals here! This is one of our 2026 Buzzy Award Winners! Check out all the Buzzy Award Winners on sale for Prime Day. Here's BuzzFeed Shopping editor Morena Duwe says about them: "Because my dryer is old and tired, it takes longer than usual for things to dry. I couldn't tell ya how they work, but these balls make my clothes dry in one cycle, when normally I'd have to run two. I also love dropping some essential oils on them, so my clean laundry can smell like peppermint (or whatever scent tickles your olfactory fancy)." Price: $16.80 (originally $21; this is a Prime-exclusive deal) All you need to do is pop it in the microwave for 10–15 seconds, get right back on the couch, and snuggle this portable heating pad to help soothe cramps and muscle pain. Promising review: "Highly recommend. It smells amazing, like calming lavender & super soft. Filled with grape seeds, with the perfect weight. Easy to warm up in the microwave and quick. Bonus that it’s a cute shrimp!" —Jessica Feldman Price: $15.99 (originally $24.99; non-Prime members can get it for $22.96) Promising review: "I held off purchasing this for a year because it’s definitely a small decorative item for me that won’t get a lot of use outside of being festive. But I got it on Prime Day, and LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! It will be so cute for serving a dip, but also is just so cute adorning my stove all of the fall months. It’s ceramic, not cast iron like its Le Creuset rival, haha, making it much lighter, which is nice. The metallic glazed “stem” is just so beautiful!" —Leah M Promising review: "These Crocs are super cute, and I can’t wait to wear them out! They’re really comfortable, especially because I’m a wide-foot girly, so comfort is my number one priority when it comes to picking out my shoes. They’re so stylish, and they have just the right amount of height added to them. Overall 10/10!! ♥️" —alissa Price: $29.95+ (originally $59.99; available in women's sizes 4–11 and five colors) — and check out more Crocs deals here! Check out a TikTok of the rainbow Astercook knife set in action. Promising review: "These things are SHARP! Lol. Nice, clean, easy cutting. Have zero problems cutting into anything. Watch those fingers! I haven't worked with such sharp knives in a while, and these will bite if you're not super careful. But I also like to sharpen knives after almost every use as well. Sheath is a must-use for safety. Very durable, handles well. I haven't experienced any rust, and they're comfortable to use. And the colors are a nice contrast to the bland everyday of regular knife sets." —Shawna Price: $15.99 (typically $24.98) — and check out all the Astercook deals here!

It’s nice that they start easy and get harder, so you can get used to the format first, then continue to be challenged as you learn how they work. Fun, visually appealing, and sprinkled with humor. I finished this one in about 1.5 months (of fairly dedicated work) and ordered Volume 2 before I was even done with the first one. It’s a higher price point than many puzzle books, but you get high quality for what you pay." —EN The best part?? Once you finish this version of "Murdling," you can try a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books — PLUS a Murdle board game! Price: $11.54 for Prime members (non-Prime members can get it for $12.54; typically $15.19, and check out Volume 2 and Volume 3 if you're in the mood for more murrrrderrr) — and check out the rest of the Murdoku deals here! Check out a TikTok of Glamnetics in action. Promising review: "Absolutely love these. I work with boilers, so I am rough with my hands and these last. Also, if I happen to pop one off, I can pop another back on in seconds. The glue is very strong, and they come off so easily with the same brand removal oil. They are so quick to put on, I get a beautiful set of nails in under 15 minutes. Great value for the money. I like the thickness as they are not bulky, but definitely not thin. The color is stunning! I have purchased about seven different sets, as well as the toenails. Highly recommend." —Lynn GUESS WHAT, they also have an entire line of NFL nails for fall!! You're welcome. Price: $14.29 for the pumpkins and $14.39 for frosted cranberry (typically $21.99 and $19.99; available in dozens of other styles for fall and Halloween!) — and check out all the Glamnetic deals here! Promising review: "Absolutely love this toy! I am an adult and it's very entertaining and is a definite cure for boredom. I got a 4-pack as a family stocking stuffer and put one in each stocking. Even my 14-year-old son, who thought he wouldn't like them, was immediately intrigued once he opened it from its original cube shape. He struggled for a moment to get it back to the original shape, and he was hooked. Now he fidgets and plays with it as often as his dad and I mess with ours lol. I highly recommend them for all ages. They make a cute gift for any gender or age." —Hope and Michael Adkins Price: $16.62+ (originally $24.99+; Prime exclusive; available in three sizes and 43 patterns) Check out a TikTok of the Govee lamp in action. Promising review: "Bought this light because I thought it was cool, but it is more than that! I use it every day, and it has many colors and patterns to choose from. The thing I love the most is you can set up times for it to come on and turn off. You can set how bright you want it, so I had it turned on with a dimmed light to help me wake up in early mornings." —Rueben Thao Price: $59.99 (originally $99.99; available on sale in two styles) — and shop all the Govee deals here! Promising review: "I put all of my coworkers onto this hot sauce. They love it. I use this just about every day, and it doesn’t tear my stomach up like regular hot sauces do, so this is my new go-to. I’ll have to purchase a new one soon, but I highly recommend it because of its flavor. Not too hot ... sweet/spicy, just how I would like my hot sauces!" —HeyMisterOfficer Price: $9.99 (typically $12.51) — and check out all the other Truff deals here! Promising review: "One of my absolute favorite puzzles that I have worked. I love Disney and Pixar, and this was so much fun to work on. No false fits and the quality is top-notch (pun intended). The picture is super clear and very colorful. I love all the characters. One of the few that I will work again." —Renee Edwards Price: $21.66 (originally $29.99) — and check out more Ravensburger deals here! Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults. Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action.

Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more. Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you’re someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I’m quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y’all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!!

There's also a built-in alarm to scare off squirrels and other critters. Promising review: "This whole idea of a smart bird feeder is the greatest thing since I don’t know what!! There are so many available, but I happened to watch the video by a customer, and he sold me on this model. The feeder is well-made. Solid. Great camera and many features. Clear, vibrant videos. Easy app use. Identifies birds. Has a speaker that allows me to chase off unwelcome guests. I am finally getting it on a post tomorrow; I have set it out on the deck and take it in at night for now. Putting up a raccoon baffle, as we have those critters out here. We have a waterfall feature that has always drawn the birds here, so why not feed them too! Great price, easy instructions, solar powered!" —KJ Price: $69.20 (originally $129.99; clip the "$12 off" coupon on the product page for this price; available in two colors, the deal is on the green version) — and check out all the other Harymor deals here!

It’s surprisingly roomy enough to fit a bento box, snacks, and a juice pouch while still staying lightweight and easy for little hands to carry or pack into a backpack. High-quality, durable zippers and super cute designs. definitely a 5-star find!" —Meriah Price: $22.49 (typically $29.99; available in dozens of styles, but on sale in 11 styles) — and check out all the other Simple Modern deals here!

The lid is on very tightly, but I had no problem pulling it off." —April K Price: $19.53 (originally $26; also available in three other on-sale styles) Check out a TikTok of the Case-Mate bag in action. Promising review: "I’ve been wanting a sturdy and cute beach bag that was not mesh and or a basic tote. This is it! It comes with a dry bag for a phone. The handles are thick. The iridescent color looks so cool in the sun, and it’s the perfect size. I fit two towels, a sunscreen bag, two changes of clothes, a speaker, goggles, and snacks. With extra room too. I love the new silver-black color, but this purple was on sale, so I went for it. Matches perfectly with my black swimsuit." —Daniela G Price: $47.99+ (originally $99.99+; available in six other colors with varying discounts) — and check out all the other Case-Mate deals here! Promising review: "So cute and they work great! The light is the perfect brightness to see, but not too bright that it’s annoying in the middle of the night. Changing the colors is easy, and I like how it goes off when there’s enough light in the room." —Jas Price: $9.48 (typically $15.99) — and check out more Lohas LED deals here! Flavors include: White Cheddar, Nacho Cheddar, Ranch, Butter, Kettle Corn, Caramel Corn, Bacon Cheddar, and Cheesy Jalapeno. Promising review: "This variety pack has been such a fun addition to our family movie nights. Everyone can choose a different flavor, so we no longer have to agree on how to season the entire bowl of popcorn. I also like being able to switch flavors halfway through instead of eating the same thing every time. The bottles are easy to use, and the variety gives us plenty of options to try. It is a simple little treat, but it makes an ordinary bowl of popcorn feel much more special." —Holly | Found by Holly Promising review: "Love this game!!! I love the retro design of this one compared to what’s on the shelves now at stores. We loved it so much that we actually ended up purchasing a second one as a gift for family. The nostalgia with this family game board makes it worth the purchase price!! All the pieces were there and made of good quality:" —Laura and Jesse Promising review: "This product is a favorite of mine. I remember when I was 12, and my sister bought this for herself. I would use some of it to wash myself. It still smells the same as I remembered, like vanilla batter with sweet sprinkles in it. The amount that you get is good as well; it is medium-sized and can last you quite a long time. It lathers on nicely, and my skin feels smoother after my shower. It is a good value for your money, especially if you want to stay smelling like yummy birthday cake!! I feel absolutely refreshed after my shower and like a new person." —Loren Price: $19.60 (typically $28) — and check out all the other Philosophy deals here! The bundle comes with one regular Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen, 2022 release) and the Jack Skellington shell, which is removable if you want to be boring later. Promising review: "This is my first home 'smart device' and I have to say that it's pretty good. I use it to turn on/off lights in almost every room in my home, which has made a small impact on my electric usage. The music and 'Easter Eggs' make it fun.. The sound is very good for such a small device as well. So far, I like it." —Joseph E. Nash Price: $65.98 (originally $89.98; available in three styles) Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp ... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated Price: $12.74 (typically $16.99) — and check out all the other Happybag deals here! Promising review: "These smell amazing! Would use these all year if offered! Leaves clothes clean and smells amazing!" —Cami Baker Price: $12.10 (typically $15.99) — and check out all the other Gains deals here! Promising review: "I have been using Hello Unicorn deodorant for several years now. It smells nice. It does not break me out or cause any skin irritation. It works all day, even when I am doing yard work in the middle of summer. I love that the ingredients are natural, and it doesn't have aluminum like so many other deodorants. It costs a little more than some deodorants, but it is worth it to me to not have a rash under my arms and that it works as well as it does." —Phil Price: $10.04 for two (originally $13.99) Promising review: "It's so cute!!! I've ended up using it so much since getting it, there are plenty of times I've avoided using my regular grater but didn't because box graters are so hard to clean. This one makes it so much simpler, and it goes perfectly with our DND-ish themed home!" —Natalie Price: $12.72 (typically $15.90) — and check out all the other Peleg deals here! Promising review: "Works as intended, super cute, got for a birthday gift for my now 4-year-old who loves eating ice as well as to save a couple of dollars during the summertime, being able to easily have a nice cold treat. It doesn’t take long to make, the noise level is as expected for crushing ice lol, and overall it was a great investment." —Bambii Price: $44.99 (typically $59.99) — and check out all the other Nostalgia deals here! Starface World is a small business that specializes in skincare products. Promising review: "These little holographic stars do exactly what they promised.

Promising review: "I bought one of these many years ago and love mine. I just bought this one for a friend as a gift. She loves it! This item is of great quality. Perfect size to do quick, creative work. This board helps a person come into the present. Let the world melt away while they use it. Before you know it, time has slipped by, and the calm has set in. It may be perfect at the office! Definitely would have people stopping by to chill for a minute! (Just a thought.) I would imagine this would be calming for kids, too! Get one for yourself. Leave the world behind." —ClearlyLiving Price: $29.60 (typically $37.95) — and check out all the other Buddha Board deals here! Promising review: "I’m actually using this as a pot for a small plant.

Promising review: "I bought this after seeing it on TikTok. I wasn’t sure how great it would be, and the price was a little high for me, but I bought it anyway. After getting it and seeing how badass it is, I would definitely say it’s worth the money!! The lights are so cool and bright. My kids and husband love it!" —Shelby Fulford Price: $27.99+ (typically $34.99; available in eight colors) — and check out all the Mooyran deals here!

Cleaning it is quick and hassle-free." —Good buyer Price: $79.99 (originally $99.99; available in pink and white) — and check out all the other Paris Hilton deals here!

You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "LOVE THIS!! The smell is glorious and immediately takes me back in time to when all my girlfriends would gather poolside and slather on the original St. Tropez Orange Gel. I don’t understand why they ever did away with the original Bain de Soleil, but this new orange gel will make you feel like you are on an eternal vacation and give you the best tan you have ever had. Going to stock up on several more tubes and invite my college girlfriends over to the pool. Oh, and mine came with a key for the tube and a cute message from the head of the company. I would give it a sixth star if I could." —S. M. Harris Price: $20 (typically $25) — and check out all the other Vacation deals here! Check out a TikTok of the orange juice vase in action.

Promising reviews: "Sturdy, amazing quality! Had a girls' trip where we bought each other phone cases, and I found this gem to glue to my friend's/victim's case. He showed up in all her photos like he was taking a selfie. Best purchase ever, it’s so stupid hilarious. I’m gonna order one for myself. 😂" —C.C. "Sent this to my daughter, unprovoked, for no other reason other than I thought it would be hilarious. She had no idea it was coming. She was both completely confused and laughing hysterically after she opened it. She then sent me a picture she had taken of her boyfriend a couple of weeks prior, of him at the store holding a stuffed version of this exact same thing. She's 23. I'm 43. We just get each other. ❤️" —Casey Madalena Price: $12.76 (typically $15.99; also available in a plush version and a mini plush version — both of which are also on sale for 20% off) —TikTok Products That Are Worth The Hype *And* On Sale For Fall Prime Day —Our Top Picks After Covering Prime Day For 11(!!)
