Today’s best sales: A solar-powered phone charger, Kate Spade bag and more
The weekend is nearly here! Take a break — a shopping break — and check out these 10 incredible deals and sales leading up to the 4th of July. If you think you’ll be using your phone a lot to take pictures and videos, you may want to get the solar-powered Mregb Power Bank while it’s just $27 (down from $300!). Shoppers say it holds its charge for a long time, and you don’t even have to plug it in — let the sun power it up. If you have a trip coming up, save room in your suitcase for the 2-in-1 Nicebay Hair Straightening Brush (over 70% off), a new Kate Spade crossbody bag (just $59!) and a breezy maxi dress you can wear anywhere (only $30). Or if you’re planning to stay home, upgrade your TV to this 40-inch Vizio for just $160.
Shop deals of the day:
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, this power bank is the insurance you need to keep your devices charged off the grid. Get it while it’s over 90% off — yes, 90%. This handy battery pack holds enough charge to power one device up to four times, and it can be juiced up just by sitting in sunlight. Plus, it has a built-in flashlight for emergencies. You won’t want to go camping without it!
“I took this power bank to the desert for military training,” said a soldier in the reviews. “I was able to charge my phone about four times and the solar power was able to replenish the power I used. Through intense heat and banging this device around, whether in my bag or in the Humvee, this thing proved to be a trooper and is still in great condition.”
“I bought this portable charger to include in my hiking pack, and it has already shown its value,” wrote another shopper. “I was able to charge two phones from almost dead to 100% without even losing a bar of power. I can easily see the flashlight coming in handy, as it’s bright enough for most scenarios.”
Danjor sheets are made with super-soft microfiber, giving you a silky hotel-bed feel every time you slip between them. They’re moisture-wicking and breathable, and hundreds of reviewers say they’re cooling. Plus, they come with an extra set of pillowcases.
“I love these sheets. They feel so expensive and luxurious,” said one five-star fan. “They have almost a silky-soft feel to them and I love that they’re cool every time you get into bed.”
This straightening brush may just turn a bad hair day into a good one. Its ionic generator helps smooth out hair and adds shine, while its brush detangles and straightens. Choose from six heat settings and temperatures ranging from 270°F to 450°F, ideal for customizing your styling to your hair type. The built-in LED screen shows exactly what temperature you’re working with at any given moment, and there’s no worries about leaving the house with your brush still on — this smart cookie has a 60-minute auto-shut-off feature.
“Wow! Straight hair without the damage,” marveled one reviewer. “This brush is amazing. One pass and my bedhead hair is smooth and sleek. Especially love that it doesn’t damage my hair like my flat iron and I can use it on a low temp and still get great results.”
When it’s hot out, reach for a breezy cotton dress like this one. It comes in over 20 colors and has a slit on the side to let extra air flow in. There are pockets too — always a big plus. More than 17,000 Amazon shoppers give it a glowing five-star rating.
“This dress fits very flatteringly over the stomach area. It is a loose dress but still has enough shape to look good,” one buyer wrote. “I loved the slits on the side … The pockets are super handy and fit my phone. I received several compliments on it throughout the day.”
If you sleep hot, these moisture-wicking pillows will help keep you comfortable. They’re filled with a plush down alternative (100% polyester) that’s encased in a soft, breathable sateen cover. Score the set while they’re well over half off.
“My husband and I are very picky about our pillows, and we are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these are,” said one five-star fan. “We are both side sleepers, and these have helped both of us have better nights of sleep. They support our necks without feeling like we are too propped up, and they offer enough give to help feel like our necks are being cradled. I’m glad I found these.”
Keurig is a household name for a reason. Its machines make brewing coffee at home super easy. The K-Iced is one of the brand’s most compact machines, and this one offers an iced coffee option. It automatically adjusts the brew temperature, starting hotter to help extract full flavor, then it cools down — which is important, because you want as little ice melting as possible to retain a bold flavor. Of course, if you want hot coffee, it can make that too.
“I absolutely love the iced coffee feature, and I double love the fact that they give you a Keurig iced coffee cup complete with a reusable straw, free when you buy this machine,” shared one fan.
Grab Kate Spade Outlet’s deal of the week! This pebbled leather crossbody comes in five colors with a small slip pocket on the outside and a zipper closure to keep all your valuables inside. Sling it over your body on your next vacation or shopping trip.
“Love this little purse!” said one shopper. “Great for the summer. Holds your phone with plenty of space left for other things.”
Looking for a good weekender? This duffel has plenty of room for clothes, shoes, toiletries and more. Of course, it’s Vera Bradley, so there’s a range of prints to choose from too.
“Love this bag so much,” said one of the 1,600 five-star reviewers. “It’s so spacious, pretty and durable. I can’t wait to buy another one! It’s so worth it.”
If you’re curious about your family’s origin story, this kit was just discounted to its lowest price in weeks. It includes the standard Ancestry Service, as well as more than 85 DNA-based online reports on your health predispositions, carrier status (a test that determines whether you carry certain inherited conditions), wellness and traits with just one test. You’ll get reports on how your genes play into your well-being and lifestyle choices, how DNA influences your facial features, taste and smell, and where your DNA is from out of more than 2,000 regions in the world.
“No royalty in my family tree — just sheep stealers,” lamented one shopper. “Better luck next life.”
This Vizio turns streaming into a cable-like experience with easy-to-use navigation that lets you watch a variety of streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, HBO Max and more, right out of the box. It also offers a crisp, clear high-definition picture, and a V-gaming engine that optimizes it for intense play.
“I have used this TV for two years,” explained one Amazon shopper. “It is easy to install, has a clear picture and good sound. The slim style is good for hanging or just standing. A great value.”
