It goes with the territory that our team spends a lot of time on Amazon, especially during Amazon Prime Day when we all hunt down the best deals to help you shop. But naturally, as we are scouring Amazon we find pieces that sneak into our carts too. So I asked the Homes & Gardens team what's in their baskets right now, the deals they personally can't resist this Amazon Prime Day.
Amazon is such a huge site to navigate at the best of times, but when Prime Day is in full swing it does feel slightly chaotic. So having some shopping inspiration always helps – from beautiful lighting to practical storage, here's what we are all buying so you can add them to your wishlists too.
What we are shopping this Amazon Prime Day
'Out of all the items that I cannot live without, my sleek portable lamp is high on the list,' says our Managing Editor Zara Stacey. 'Currently, I'm using my O’Bright Portable as a bedside lamp, but I often move it to my desk when working from home. I love that it has three brightness levels and that it can neatly slot into cozy corners all over my home.'
I recently asked interior designers what they shop on Amazon, and so many of them mentioned it was their go-to place for coffee table books. So I am stocking up this Amazon Prime Day. This is a staple on many coffee tables. Soho House's bible to creating their iconic laidback but luxurious vibe in your own home. There are design tips, gorgeous recipes, and inspiring photography.
'I've been biding my time waiting for this area rug to get knocked down in the Amazon Prime Day sale,' says H&G's Style and Trends Editor Charlotte Olby. 'I love the scalloped edge, and the fact that you can pick a colorful trim to suit your space – plus, its handmade! I'll be rolling mine out underneath the dining table.'
'I’m upgrading my tiny air fryer for this model, voted one of the best air fryer brands in the world by our team. And it’s now 54% off on Amazon,' says Kitchen Appliance Editor Lydia Hayman.
'Art can add personality and character to any room,' explains Kitchens and Bathrooms Editor, Molly Malsom. 'I love this vintage painting of a bouquet and lemons. It's the perfect design to fill an empty kitchen wall.'
'I've been wanting a Loloi rug for quite some time, and it's really hard to beat this 81% off deal. This one's vibrant color and distressed look would look beautiful in a bedroom or living room.' says News Editor Abby Wilson.
'This belt is ideal for me as a flower grower and florist, as it is perfect for both jobs – and I've seen a lot of inspiring professional growers with a similar one on Instagram,' says Head of Gardens, Rachel Bull. 'It has pockets and compartments for all the tools I'd need, plus an additional phone pouch, which is vital. It's much more efficient that carrying around tools in apron pockets, and it also saves me from snipping holes in my apron, which happens regularly! And 20% off makes it an unmissable deal.'
'Over the last few months, I've been doing my research into the best blender-food processor combos, purely for selfish reasons. I need space-saving versatility and nobody does it better than Ninja. This is the one I had actually committed to buying before they slashed $90 off the price, so it's in my cart right now,' says Appliance Editor, Laura Honey.
'The way my home smells is really important to me when I'm trying to unwind and relax and so I like to stock up on my favorite scents on Amazon Prime Day,' says our Social Media Editor Anna Aylward. 'The Lavender Eucalyptus is my top choice for my bedroom but I love picking up new scents to try in other rooms of my house.'
'According to our expert testers, this is the best mattress topper on the market, but I always hesitate to recommend it because it's so expensive,' explains our Sleep Editor Emilia Hitching. 'That's why I'm so pleased to see the Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Topper selling for half-price this Amazon Prime Day. You get the same motion isolation, comfort and support for a much more reasonable price.'
''I've been in love with this kettle since I spotted it in Hailey Bieber's kitchen,' says Sophie Edwards, our Celebrity Style Writer. 'It's also a favorite of Kendall Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, and Amy Schumer. I love the way Fellow transformed a mundane kitchen accessory into a piece of countertop art. Plus, it has built in temperature-control, perfect for changing brewing temperature so I can make the ideal cup of green tea, my favorite, every time.'
'As someone who has tested all sorts of vacuum cleaners, this is easily the best vacuum deal in the Prime Day sale. The V15 Detect is one of the most capable vacuums we've ever tested, with unparalleled suction, accurate particle detection, and a laser illuminating hidden dust. This $180 discount puts it at the lowest price we've ever seen it, and the 'Plus' means it even comes with extra tools and attachments compared to the standard model,' says Dan Fauzi, Home Tech Editor.
Some fantastic deals across all categories here, and we will be sure to keep you updated if any more unmissable deals make it into our baskets. But be speedy if you want to make the most of these (or any) offers. Amazon Prime Day is just a 48 hour event and it will end tomorrow (17th July).
