Don’t need a full-size laptop but still want a versatile screen for reading, streaming movies and browsing social media? Here’s your next move. The iPad mini features an advanced A15 Bionic chip (meaning it’s powerful and fast), 64GB of storage, all-day battery life and an 8.3-inch liquid retina display. It’s also on sale for its lowest price ever at 25% off.

One happy shopper said: “The A15 Bionic chip makes everything smooth and fast, from browsing to running apps. The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display is stunning—perfect for watching videos, reading or gaming. The compact size makes it incredibly portable without sacrificing performance. 64GB is ample storage for my needs, and it handles multitasking seamlessly.”

“My bigger iPad Air recently just broke so I was debating between getting another or getting the iPad mini. I am so happy that I chose the mini,” said another customer. “I love that it is light enough to carry around wherever I go but still has a bigger screen than my phone so I can do work/school on it. I have also been reading on it a lot and think that it is the perfect tablet for reading.”

These suede boots look a lot like a pair from a certain name brand, but they’re on sale for about half the price. Inside, they’re lined with shearling, so they’re warm, cozy and should last you a long time. They come in this fall-ready chestnut brown as well as black, brown, gray, olive and taupe.

“I love these boots,” said one happy customer. “Very comfortable, excellent price, well made, color is as expected. When I received them, I ordered more. True to size.”

This countertop hero launched in March 2024, and it can turn frozen food into a hot, crispy meal fast. Of course, in addition to air-frying, it can roast, reheat and dehydrate. And with a 5-quart basket that’s big enough to roast a whole chicken or cook a 1.5-pound bag of fries, you may never turn on your oven again (OK, or at least for a while.) 

“I can’t believe I didn’t get this a long time ago,” said one home cook. “Everything comes out perfect. Makes crispy chicken thighs and egg rolls. Easy to clean. No heating up the kitchen. Cooks fast. What more can I say?”

If you want a rustic fire pit for grilling up some grub, this top-rated model is a solid pick. It has a food-friendly design that comes with a removable, FDA-compliant alloy steel grill grate for firing up meats, veggies and more in your backyard. The grill adjusts up and down, swings left or right and has handles at both ends. (Just make sure you wear oven mitts or protective gloves to adjust it when the flame is roaring.)

“This was fairly easy to assemble and gives off great heat, enough to keep six to seven of us warm with one bundle of wood from the grocery store,” said a shopper. “I love the additional burner for grilling. We’ve cooked corn, burgers and steak on this thing, and so far so good.”

Brighten and depuff your tired eyes fast with these gold eye patches. They’re reportedly a favorite of Jessica Alba! Simply place a pair under your eyes, wait 15-20 minutes and voila! Look like you actually got a full night of sleep for once.  

“I have always had issues with dark circles under my eyes and my eyes getting puffy overnight. I slap these babies on for 15 minutes in the morning while diapering and dressing kids, rub in the extra moisture when I take them off, and there is a visible difference,” said one Amazon reviewer. “I go from under-the-bridge troll to troll who isn’t quite embarrassed to leave the house without makeup on. Super easy to use, they’re cool and feel nice first thing in the morning … Definitely recommend.”

Keeping your coffee or tea hot can be difficult while you’re dashing around the house on a busy morning. That’s where the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug comes in. It connects to an app on your phone so you can control the temperature. Yahoo’s tech editor, Rick Broida, named it the best heated coffee mug of the year.

Broida said: “Here’s what I love most about the Ember: I don’t have to turn it on. Once I pour a liquid in, it immediately starts heating. When the drink is gone, it turns off. It’s a minor thing, but I love not having to futz with a power button or temperature settings. I don’t really even have to use the app after the first time; once I’ve set my preferred temp, it’s ‘locked in’ until I change it.”

Skip the tall rain boots and opt for these comfier, easier-to-walk-in rubber booties. They have plenty of traction on the bottom to prevent slips, plus elastic gore insets for a more comfortable fit.

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. They go on sale often, but this is one of the best deals we’ve seen in a while.

“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.”

The Shark VacMop is an all-in-one cleaning tool that can suck up dry debris while mopping the wet stuff. The handle has two triggers — one for vacuum suction and one for the spray mop. This one comes with two disposable pads, which can be removed by pressing a release button on the device. (No need to touch them after they’re dirty!) You can replace them for just $1 a pop.

“I love this vacmop!” said one buyer. “I was skeptical at first, not thinking it would actually work as well as everyone has said, but it does! … It’s nice to use for crumbs, hair, a spill, anything! It is very convenient. It picks up well and mops pretty good too!”

Flannel season is here! This plaid button-down is the perfect addition to any fall wardrobe. It has a slightly oversized fit and a curved hem to flatter a variety of shapes, and it’s ideal for layering on warm days and chillier nights. Plus, it comes 14 different plaid shades — all for just $16 on sale. 

“This flannel shirt is soft and lovely,” said one fan. “It drapes nicely, perhaps because it is on the thin size. Compared with those I have from L.L.Bean and Lands’ End, it is not as stiff, but it’s also not cotton. That does not matter to me, as long as I find it comfortable, and I do. I actually bought two of these in different patterns, and both are very, very nice.”
