Tessan European Travel Adapater, $11 with Prime

“I’ve used these travel adaptor plugs for two European trips now (Greece last fall and Iceland last month) and they are fantastic! Everyone I’ve traveled with always borrows them, so it’s a good time to stock up on a few more.” —Madison Yauger, shopping editor

Raiqee Vegetable Chopper, $18 with coupon

“I make more fruit and pasta salads in the summer, and chopping up all the fruits and vegetables takes quite a bit of time. This chopper will do all the work (quickly) for me. Plus, it comes with interchangeable blades so I can slice large, small, thick, or thin pieces, depending on what I need for the dishes I’m whipping up.” —Jennifer Maldonado, associate editorial shopping director

Vicks VapoShower Plus Shower Tablets

“My stuffy nose will be so grateful I stocked up on these dissolving scented shower tablets once fall and winter come around — they clear my sinuses and leave me feeling extra refreshed after a hot shower.” —Nicola Fumo, shopping writer/editor

County Line Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker

“Hot summer weather means I’m taking my coffee iced, and this cold brew coffee maker is saving me so much money I’d otherwise be spending in cafes. It comes with a 64-ounce glass jar that holds enough coffee for a week, and it’s easy to clean. I like that you can also steep tea in it.” —Nicol Natale, shopping writer 

Beckham Hotel Collection Set of 2 Queen Bed Pillows, $36 with coupon

“I bought these cooling pillows in December and they feel as good as new, so I’ll be adding a few more to my cart for hosting overnight guests. And I’m not alone in scooping up the best-sellers — more than 50,000 shoppers have also purchased them in the past month.” —Lindsey Greenfeld, senior shopping editor  

Asmad Solar Garden Lights

“The little garden off of my patio is finally coming together, and these lights will dress it up at night and look great between some low shrubs. I like that they are solar-powered, so I won’t have to buy batteries. Plus, it comes with six bunches of lights, so I’ll also be able to add some in a few of my flower pots for a little more ambiance.” —Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Travelrest Travel Pillow

“I can never fall asleep on airplanes, but I’m grabbing this memory foam neck pillow while it’s on sale to see if it’s the key to catching some Zs on my next flight. Its angled design encourages spinal alignment and keeps your head from bobbing, and one five-star reviewer said it feels like relaxing on a ‘cloud.’ Consider me sold!” —Averi Baudler, senior shopping writer  

Gootop Bug Zapper

“I just got a new backyard fire pit that I would love to use, but mosquitoes have taken over my outdoor space. This bug zapper gets rid of pesky flying insects and has a half-acre of coverage, so I can finally roast some s’mores in peace.” —Kayla Kitts, shopping editor  

Prettygarden Lace Blouse

“I keep seeing celebrities wearing eyelet blouses, and I’ve got my eye on this one. It has pretty puff sleeves that I think would look super cute with satin midi skirts and my linen pants. One of the tricky things with this pattern is that it can sometimes be see-through, but reviewers said the top is lined, so that’s a big bonus in my book.” —Alex Nelson, senior shopping editor & strategist  

Khelfer Electric Spin Scrubber, $40 with Prime

“I’ve been seeing these electric scrub brushes all over social media, and I’m finally buying one while they’re on sale. I’m looking forward to getting a sparkling clean without the back-breaking effort, thanks to the long handle, different scrub heads, and two spin speeds.” —Genevieve Cepeda, shopping writer  

Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover

“I don’t know about you, but I love to keep a little hair remover handy when I’m doing my makeup or traveling. As someone who can’t always make it to a waxing center and wants to remove hair quickly and painlessly, this little device is the perfect addition to my beauty routine. My old one lasted me about three years, and I think it’s about time to replace it.” —Alyssa Brascia, shopping writer  

23andMe DNA Test Kit

“I’ve been wanting to try 23andMe, and a few shopping writer birdies told me it’s usually heavily discounted during Prime Day. I’m not sure if I fully buy into the science behind it, but when it’s on sale like this, I’ll take a chance on it just for fun.” —Erin Johnson, associate editorial shopping director
