While we’ve rounded up the best 4th of July deals across the internet (and found tons at Amazon), this list includes 10 of our favorite can’t-miss buys. First up is a pair of wireless Apple AirPods — they’re at their lowest price ever, $80. If your grill is on its last legs (or you’re just tired of sweating while cooking dinner) the Ninja Foodi XL Pro 7-in-1 Indoor Grill is a top-seller that’s 50% off today. Feeling the heat? These cooling sheets are on sale for less than $30. And if you just want to treat yourself, handbags from Kate Spade and Coach are over half off.

We’re sure you’re familiar with how fantastic AirPods are — but if you’d like a refresher, we’re here to help. These top-selling earbuds have hundreds of thousands of five-star ratings, thanks to their clear, rich sound quality, 24-hour battery life and convenient cord-free design. Plus, of course, they’re Apple, so they’re easy to use and connect to any of your other Apple devices. Nab them while they’re at their lowest price ever.
One loyal fan said: “I’ve had these for four years now. I use them almost every day and they still work perfectly and sound great. Battery life isn’t what it used to be but still lasts a long time. If mine ever die, I’ll immediately buy another pair.”
“These are the only headphones I use anymore,” said another. “They work great, the sound quality is amazing, they charge quick and hold the charge for hours. They are also small and lightweight. They do have a limit of working time though.”
Another shopper added: “The lightweight design and perfect fit make these comfortable for long periods, whether I’m working out or on a long call. They stay in place remarkably well, even during vigorous activities.”

It’s no secret that Hanes makes some of the comfiest undies out there, and this bra is no exception. Made of moisture-wicking material, it’s designed to help keep you cool and sweat-free. Its wireless support also ensures everything stays in place without uncomfortable jabbing, and its 360-degree smoothing prevents bulging under your clothes. Choose from four neutral colors and sizes up to 3XL (prices vary).
One satisfied shopper wrote: “I felt like Goldilocks until I found this bra. It’s perfect, not too tight around the middle, the straps don’t dig into my shoulders, it’s very, very soft and it holds me in place. By far, the most comfortable bra that I have ever worn. I’m buying more of them.”
This set of six knives can help you dice veggies, chop fruit, slice bread and cut through thick meats with ease. The fact that it’s fun to look at and comes with color-coded blade guards is just a plus. The set is also nice if you like to keep your knives in a drawer instead of out on the counter.
“These knives are an amazing value! They are sharp and look nice. I love that they come with covers so you can keep them in the drawer without worrying,” said one Walmart shopper.
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 it’s over 70% 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.”
These silky-soft bamboo sheets are naturally cooling, breathable and wrinkle-free. They’re Oeko-Tex-certified and come in an impressive 37 colors and prints. Plus, their deep pockets will actually stay on your thick mattress. More than 135,000 Amazon shoppers give them a glowing review.
“I love these sheets. I could not be more pleased,” said one customer. “They are perfect. I am going to order another set. They are soft and silky. They keep me cool. The sizing is very ample.”
If you’ve never considered a water flosser, you’re missing out. Not only is this one easy to use (simply fill the reservoir with warm water and you’re ready to go), but it “removes up to 99.9% of plaque,” according to Waterpik. There are four flossing tips and three water-pressure settings, so you can customize your clean.
One pleased customer said this flosser “cleans teeth as well as a dental hygienist!” They went on to share: “I’ve always been careful about flossing but my gums still got inflamed occasionally from food the floss didn’t reach. That has not happened once since I started using the Waterpik. Worth every dime!”
The Amazon Fire HD 10 costs about a quarter of what you’d pay for the equivalent Apple iPad. This model, released only last year, is 25% faster than its predecessor, weighs an ounce or so less and has a clear camera for video calling. Even better, it’s on sale for its lowest price since Black Friday.
“For the price, you get great quality and the picture is so crisp and clear!” said one of the 7,000 five-star reviewers. “Audio is loud and good. The battery lasts all day long. [The] charger it comes with charges it up to full battery in like an hour! Only downside is there’s no Google Play store, only an Amazon store, but it still has relevant useful apps I enjoy using, like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Candy Crush, TikTok and more.”
This pebbled leather tote is ready to be your casual workhorse this season. Take it shopping, and if your hands get full, use it with the optional adjustable shoulder strap. Choose from taupe (pictured), cherry, pink and two shades of green.
Summer is grilling season, but if you don’t have the space for an outdoor appliance, check out the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pro. It’s marked down to its lowest price ever on Amazon. It has seven different cooking functions: grilling (obviously), air frying, broiling, baking, roasting, dehydrating and griddling. There are also four no-brainer smart protein settings: Just insert the Foodi Smart Thermometer (it’s included) and choose between nine customizable doneness levels, from rare to well done.
One of Yahoo’s shopping writers put this on her summer wishlist, and over 1,300 Amazon shoppers have given it a five-star rating.
“We bought this grill as a way to decrease use of oil and pan frying,” explained one Amazon reviewer. “The smart temperature cooking mode is probably my favorite feature. It cooks all kinds of meats, but I’ve only cooked chicken and steak. The meat comes out perfectly cooked to temperature [and] retains moisture and flavor, with very little mess. The device is also super easy to clean!”
Can you really have enough tote bags? This leather beauty is extra interesting, thanks to its two-tone neutral design. Inside, it has a small zipper pocket for stashing the important stuff — your wallet, keys, phone, etc. — and the remaining space is roomy enough to hold a 13-inch laptop, your water bottle, headphones and more.
One shopper called the bag “so simple and chic and well made.” They added: “The smooth leather exterior combined with the suede interior feels decadent. I love a throw-and-go bag, and this one is awesome.”
