If You've Been Thinking About It...

I’ve been pretty underwhelmed by so many of the early Prime Day sales I’ve been seeing that I wasn’t even sure it was worth shopping.

But today is officially Prime Day and the sales for today are…very worth it! Like up to 40% off worth it!

These are the deals on items you’ve already been thinking about. You’ve had it in the back of your mind, but you’ve been waiting for…a deal! A reason to finally buy, because at this price, you’d almost be doing yourself a disservice not to.

Why not stop letting that toaster oven live rent-free in your head and instead re-home it onto your counter!?!

And listen, if you are already overwhelmed on DAY 1 of Prime Day sales, land here! I only share what I actually love and purchased with my own money!

These are thoughtful, long-lasting purchases. Not impulse buys!

The joke here is I waited three years to buy this because I thought there was no way I was going to use it. I will buy it. I will hate that it lives on my counter. I will put it in storage, never to be pulled out again.

The funny part?! This is my favorite kitchen appliance, and I use it almost every day.

It toasts, air fries, bakes, broils, and reheats leftovers so they taste as fresh as when they were first cooked. We’ve more than recouped the money on this just from being able to feast on leftovers (instead of throwing them out after unsuccessfully microwaving them).

This genuinely is the best time to buy it if you’ve been thinking about it!

THIS SET IS ON AN AMAZING DEAL!! 14 pieces for less than $100!

I often get asked for my recommendations on more affordable kitchen items. Most recently, it’s been for ceramic cookware.

For a long time, I didn’t have a great answer until I found these!

This ceramic nonstick set is 14 pieces, which means you are not cobbling together a random pot and pan situation anymore. Ceramic nonstick means no harsh chemicals and easy cleanup, and honestly, it looks good enough on the stove that you might just leave it out!

Also? The reviews on these pans are amazing!

Le Creuset almost never goes on a meaningful sale. I mean, truly, almost never. So when it does, I want to make sure you know about it before it’s gone.

Their enameled cast iron sauteuse is 33% off! This size is perfect for soups, casseroles and one-pot meals! The wide base is great for browning meats on the stovetop before slow braising or roasting in the oven, and the sloped sides are perfect for stirring.

Everything about this blender is designed for people who actually want to use it every single day!

It’s compact enough to live on your counter without taking over, powerful enough to crush ice and frozen fruit. The best part?! Once you’re done blending, you just screw on the drinking lid and take the whole vessel with you. Or screw on the other lid to store in the refrigerator. The cup IS the blender!

I use it weekly to make quick weeknight sauces and dressings to elevate meals. And it’s dishwasher safe!

If you’ve specifically had your eye on the Our Place ceramic pan, now is the time!

The Always Pan is currently over 30% off! If you’ve had this sitting in a tab for longer than you’d like to admit, consider this your permission slip.

Our Place very rarely discounts, which makes this one of the more exciting deals on the whole list. It does the work of several pans, it’s beautiful on the stove, and if you’ve been on the fence…the fence is gone, there I removed it!

I have hated, loathed, every food processor I have owned until this one!

It has suction cups so it sticks to your counter, there is no opening where the blade goes (which means no spills!!), the blade is multi-tiered so it gets every last piece of garlic and herb thrown at it.

I use mine to make salsas, dressings, and whips (think feta). And it also works great for pie dough.

If “I just use a blender and hope for the best” resonates with you, this is your upgrade!

I’ve yet to run out of uses for my Instant Pot, and right now it’s over 40% off!

I use it to make big batches of chicken stock (set it, walk away, come back to the most flavorful stock you’ve ever made), quick soups when I need something on the table fast, and big batches of shredded chicken that I pull from all week long…tacos, grain bowls, sandwiches, pasta, you name it. I also use it to make coconut milk rice that comes out perfect every time!

It is the definition of cook once, eat multiple times, and if meal planning is something you’re trying to get more serious about, this is the appliance that makes it actually doable. If it’s been on your list, this is the week!

I held off on this one for years because the price tag felt absurd for something whose entire job is to suck up dust and dog hair. But on a sale, I decided to try it out. That was 10 years ago. It’s still going strong. It’s never broken down. I haven’t had to replace any parts.

My favorite things about it? It does the job completely on the first pass instead of me dragging the same dust bunny across the floor four times like we’re in a standoff.

It empties without a cloud of dust in your face, switches from rug to hardwood seamlessly, and it’s cordless!

My new favorite home obsession is lamps! I love how they can add so much character to a room. I purchased these for our guest room, and they look stunning!

They come as a set of two, and they have USB-A and C charging ports built right into the base!

They are dimmable from 0 to 100% brightness, bulbs included, and they ship ready to make any bedroom feel significantly more put-together than it did before they arrived!

The first thing I switched out in our new home were the shower heads and it has been one of my favorite purchases! The pressure difference alone is worth every penny!

It also filters out hard water and chlorine, which in turn helps with softer, cleaner skin and hair! It’s a universal shower head, and I installed it myself.

It took me forever to get a large area rug for my home, I don’t know why. It brings the whole room together and makes the space feel so inviting!

When I was looking for area rugs I discovered that this is the brand interior designers actually reach for! Some of them are over 20% off for Prime Day, which is not a discount you see from them often.

If you’ve been living with a rug you’ve outgrown, or staring at a bare floor and telling yourself “soon,” soon is now!

The Joanna Gaines collaboration collection is particularly worth a look if you want something that feels warm and collected without looking like it came from a catalog.

I always tell people to wait for a big sale to buy this one, and here we are! It’s almost 30% for Prime Day!

The Dyson Supersonic is an investment but it is worth every single penny! I’ve had mine for over 8 years and it is still going strong.

I can always tell an immediate difference in my hair when I have to use any other blow dryer; the drying takes longer, my hair does not get as smooth, and it falls flat.

This hair dryer protects your hair from extreme heat damage, cuts drying time down dramatically, and leaves your hair smoother, shinier, and with significantly less frizz than you’d get from anything else. If you’ve been thinking about it, time to act!

I will never stop telling people to get a Kindle!! It is single-handedly the reason I read as much as I do.

Whenever someone asks me how I manage to get through so many books my answer is immediate and without hesitation: my Kindle.

It fits in my purse, and so I can take it with me everywhere I go. If I ever find myself with time, I pull it out! The Paperwhite specifically is waterproof (pool, bath, beach, boat…), has a glare-free display that actually looks like paper in direct sunlight, and the battery lasts weeks not hours.

It’s over 20% off right now, and if you are a reader or want to become more of a reader, now is the time to get a Kindle!

I waited for a whole year for this toothbrush to go on sale before I got it. All that to say, it rarely goes on sale.

The difference in how clean my mouth and teeth feel after using this versus a manual toothbrush is not subtle. The battery lasts for weeks, the brush heads are reasonably priced to replace, and it has a built-in timer with multiple modes so you can get the cleanest, brightest smile!

This is the best cocktail shaker for your home bar, truly nothing else compares!

No leaking, no frozen stuck lids you have to bang on the counter, no cold hands from holding bare metal.

The double-wall vacuum insulation keeps your drinks ice-cold without freezing your hands while you’re shaking; the built-in measuring top lets you dial in your pour from ¼ oz all the way up to 6 oz without needing a separate jigger rolling around your counter!

This is a thoughtful gift, an even better treat for yourself.

And those are the deals that I think make shopping this sale worth it! Prime Day lasts until June 26, but the prices are always fluctuating, so if you see something on a deal you can’t believe, grab it!
