Top kitchen essentials
If you love coffee but don’t like the idea of making a whole pot, this single-server brewer is a game changer. But its real selling feature is its “Brew Over Ice” setting, which gives you a hot or cold brew with the touch of a button. The sleek machine is 51 per cent off right now, so if you’ve been eyeing one, you’ll want to add it to your cart.
Are you even an adult if you don’t have your own set of steak knives? They’re handy at dinner parties, barbecues, or when cutting through vegan items like roasted cauliflower heads or tofu steaks. Zwilling makes a great stainless steel set that comes in its own fancy box. And now, thanks to Amazon Prime Big Deal Day, it’s a whopping 50 per cent off.
Air fryer baskets are great, but sometimes, you want a home gadget that cooks several layers of food at once. This digital air fryer is also a rotisserie cooker, a dehydrator, and a convection oven, and it comes with 17 presets for all of your dinner needs. It holds up to 10 litres at a time and is currently on sale for an impressive 48 per cent off.
Top beauty items
One of our favourite luxe beauty products is now 30 per cent off, so if you’re running low, now’s the time to stock up. The overnight mask is designed for all skin types and helps to brighten, soften, and boost hydration while you rest. Unlike other moisturizers, the cooling gel feels light and airy and absorbs quickly for soft, touchable skin.
Coffee, tea, red wine, dark pop, and a slew of other things we consume take a toll on our teeth. And if you’ve done the old paper test, you may have realized your smile isn’t as white as it used to be. Add a little sheen to those pearly whites with these favourite whitening strips, now 49 per cent off a box of 22.
The holidays are approaching, and not everyone has time for blowouts before the big bash. This styler helps you achieve a smooth and silky look every time, whether you’re looking to straighten, curl, or wave those tresses. The rounded titanium plates are gentle on longer hair, resulting in fewer snags, and the tool is lightweight and easy to use. The best part is that it’s currently 48 per cent off, which is much more affordable than the salon.
Top fashion picks
Sometimes, you just need to ditch the smartwatch for something a little classier, but of course, doing so without breaking the bank is key. Enter this handsome timepiece from Casio, with its silver tone, blue dial, and quartz details. It’s a dressy piece on a budget, especially now that it’s 41 per cent off.
With the cooling weather and turning leaves, there’s no better time to take a pretty fall hike. Of course, you’ll want to invest in some comfy but stylish jogging pants first. These pants, which are now 53 per cent off, are high-waisted, stretchy and lightweight for a super comfortable fit. The pockets come with zippers to keep items safe when hitting the trails, and they’re baggy enough that you can throw leggings on underneath for those days when you need a little extra warmth.

Tech, but for your teeth! If you haven’t joined the electric toothbrush club, now is a great time to invest in your own tool. That’s because Amazon is offering 50 per cent off the Oral-B Pro, whether you grab it in white, black, or pink. The rechargeable device is said to remove 300 per cent more plaque along the gum line than a regular toothbrush, plus it comes with a cute travel case and two replacement brush heads.
If you’re looking to improve your home office setup or just want to coordinate your gaming system better, this LED monitor can help.
