As noted above, it’s a gala day when Apple marks down its newest MacBook Air. For a limited time, you can snag it for $200 off at Amazon. A few quick highlights: It’s got a 13.6-inch liquid retina display screen and weighs only 2.7 pounds. Its powerful speed and performance come courtesy of Apple’s latest M3 chip. The Air also boasts 8GB of unified memory, 256GB of storage and up to 18 hours of battery life. Plus, it’s marked down in all four colors, so you can get one that suits your style. Oh and for a little more dough, you can upgrade the storage and RAM.

“I recently purchased the 2024 MacBook Air M3 (base model) and it has completely blown me away. For anyone wondering whether the base model is enough, let me assure you, it absolutely is,” said one reviewer. “The M3 chip is incredibly powerful. I haven’t experienced any lag, even with multiple demanding applications open. … This laptop is unbelievably light. I can barely feel it in my bag, making it perfect for commuting or travel.”

Another fan added: “The M3 chip significantly boosts speed and efficiency, making multitasking and running demanding applications a breeze. The backlit keyboard is comfortable to type on, and Touch ID provides quick and secure access to the laptop. The 1080p FaceTime HD camera is a great improvement, offering clear and crisp video quality for virtual meetings.”

If you’ve spent the year squinting at your TV, it’s time to splurge on something bigger and better. This 65-inch beauty from Amazon is just the thing, and it’s close to its lowest price ever. Alexa is included in the remote, so instead of endlessly scrolling through the guide, you can just say, “Alexa, play The Perfect Couple,” and she’ll make your wish come true. Compare this to other built-in video streaming TVs that come with Roku inside but lack voice assistant features out of the box. The TV also features vivid colors and high-definition picture quality.

“This TV is still killing it,” said one reviewer after two years of using it. “It still looks amazing, it’s easy to keep clean and hasn’t shown any wear or slow downs when navigating the UI. It’s been left on for long periods when our youngest falls asleep in the living room at night and doesn’t shut it off. If I had to take a guess, it has a minimum of 5,000 hours run time [so far].

Martha Stewart is practically the poster girl for age-defiance. One thing she’s done to keep time’s work at bay is regularly treating herself to facials at Mario Badescu’s skin-care salon. In fact, her facialist shared the star’s go-tos, and one major step in her routine is this face mask, which you can try for only $14 (down from $20) at Amazon.

“This tightened my skin and got rid of the bags under my eyes,” marveled one shopper. “It takes a week to start seeing results, but it really does work and is 100% worth the money.”

Your carpets and upholstery are no match for Bissell’s Little Green Machine, according to Yahoo’s home and garden writer. You can use it on rugs, couches, mattresses and more to bring things back to that “fresh from the factory” feel. Just fill one of the tanks with a mix of water and cleaning solution, turn it on and use the hose to start scrubbing away stains and other messes. The dirty water goes into a separate detachable tank that you can easily dump out in the sink.

I have one of these, and I use it almost weekly on pet stains, food spills and more. Recently, my partner violently sneezed while drinking a glass of red wine on our white couch (true story), but the Little Green Machine got it all out (lucky for him). Get it now while it’s on sale, whether you have pets or just live with some clumsy people.

Air purifiers can do a lot — suck allergens and other gunk out of your air, get rid of gross smells and just generally freshen up your space. The H13 features a HEPA filter, which is considered the gold standard of air purifiers, to tackle up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. That means dust, pollen, bacteria, mold and more are all targeted. An infrared sensor monitors your air in real time and adjusts the fan speed to clean it faster if needed. If the air around your machine isn’t up to par, the display screen will turn yellow or red until it’s improved.

Amazon shoppers give it a thumbs-up. “We’ve run it every day since we received it, and already we can tell a huge difference in the air quality,” said a five-star fan. “It’s helped filter out any dust from the cat litter, and has helped with any smells. The night mode is a must, as it still purifies air, but it’s almost inaudible.”

You may have heard that skinny jeans are out and wide-legs are in. Of course, you can keep your leggings, but these stretchy lounge pants are a good way to try this roomy style at home. They’re super soft, have a wide, comfy waistband and a flattering cut that helps elongate your legs. Grab a pair on sale in black or choose from 23 other colors. 

“Love these pants! They are incredibly comfortable, yet nice enough to dress up with a long cardigan,” explained one shopper. “I’ve received many compliments on them, and several friends have asked where they can buy the same ones. The wide-leg design is both flattering and comfortable, making them perfect for lounging, yoga, or even a casual day out.”

If you struggle with getting enough water pressure without blowing up your monthly bill, this high-flow showerhead is designed to make it feel like you’re rinsing off in a rainforest. The 4.1-inch head provides a broader coverage area and gives you all the sensations of standing under a tropical waterfall without having to hop on a plane. Made with corrosion-resistant chrome, it also comes with a built-in water filter and has a self-cleaning nozzle that prevents mineral build-up — that means nothing can get between you and your rejuvenating shower.

“Holy gosh to goodness,” shared a five-star fan. “That rain mode is nothing short of heavenly! I just want to be in the shower all day and night now. Addictive, yes! Be warned!”

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.”

Trying to up your cooking game? These pans are made from induction-ready granite, so they’re safe for all stovetops and suitable for any at-home chef. Free of PFAS and other potentially harmful chemicals, they feature all-in-one rivetless interiors for easier cleaning. The granite gives each pot and pan a smooth inner texture that helps with nonstick performance, and the extended bottoms have high magnetic conduction designed to make sure foods cook evenly and quickly.

“These pots and pans are by far the best set I have ever purchased,” said one Walmart shopper. “They are nonstick perfection. Being pretty is just an added bonus. [They’re] great sizes and deep, cleaning is a breeze.”
