Amazon’s Blink Mini 2 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) captures crisp 1080p HD video and captures motion reliably. It’s also weather-resistant, but if you want to use it outdoors you’ll need to buy the version with a weather-resistant adapter ($30 on Prime Day sale) to use it safely. However, for features like person detection, live view recording, video sharing, and cloud recording with a 60-day video history, you’ll need a subscription.

Click the coupon button to see the discount at checkout. This is a great smart plug for those who love Siri. It works with Google and Alexa too, but it’s one of the few that play nice with Apple. It’s also petite and fits into an outlet without blocking the other outlet. This pack also comes with four plugs.

This is a stunning Edison-style bulb that works via Bluetooth or a Philips Hue Bridge ($60). That way, you can control it remotely or set up a hub to control it from a distance and also set up automated routines. It doesn’t change colors like other smart blurbs, but you can adjust the brightness.

The Kasa smart plug is ideal if you want to turn almost anything into a smart device (including a lamp, coffee maker, or TV). It’s nice and small, so it won’t block neighboring outlets. Using the companion app, you can make routines and scenes like you would with other smart lights. This one also comes as a four-pack.

Click the coupon to see the discount at checkout. These water sensors are quick and easy to install, and you’ll also receive push notifications and emails to warn you when there’s a leak. At 100 decibels, the siren is also very loud so you’ll certainly hear them go off if you’re at home—at which point you can shut off the sound from the app. You’ll have to use the sensors with the included Govee Wi-Fi hub though, which needs a power outlet.

These tiny earbuds are our best earbuds for small ears. They come on a keychain, so you can hook them onto your tote, gym bag, or anywhere you might need to keep a pair of earbuds on hand. Our only grip is the battery life—because they’re so small, you’ll only get about 5.5 hours of juice.

Even though this speaker is small, its sound is shockingly detailed and it also has a solid amount of bass. It’s also currently the best Amazon speaker you can get for the price. So, with this discount, it’s technically a steal.

The Amazon Echo Pop (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of the latest additions to Amazon’s speaker lineup. The half-moon devices come in fun colors and are a perfect fit for a colorful office or dorm room. It doesn’t sound as robust as the Echo Dot, but it’s still a solid choice for casual listening.

If you’re shopping for headphones for your kids, it’s important to make sure they’re volume-limited so they don’t damage their hearing. The Altec Lansing’s are limited to 85 decibels but also come with active noise cancellation to block out background noise. They’re also wireless and have up to 15 hours of battery life on a single charge.

Creative’s small Pebble V3 speakers deliver great sound quality, especially for both gaming and meetings. The midrange and bass notes come through nicely and there’s also a single gain switch you can flip on. The speakers connect via USB-C, Bluetooth, or the included 3.5-mm audio cable.

These wireless buds aren’t the most feature-packed, especially compared to the 2nd Gen Echo Buds, which come with active noise canceling. But they’re affordable and come with Alexa built in. It’s a solid choice if you want a pair that you don’t have to treat with too much care.

This tiny Bluetooth mic is one of our favorite gifts for music lovers. It pairs with your phone and comes with built-in reverb and delay. The speaker is baked into the handle too, so you don’t need any additional equipment to host a karaoke night with your friends.

Looking for a super-small sound machine? The Restnature is great for a trip or if you don’t want to take up precious space on your nightstand. It’s palm-sized and can easily fit into a pocket, but still delivers a variety of 16 different sounds to choose from, along with 30-, 60-, and 90-minute timer options.

The HealthSmart humidifier lamp is an LED lamp that gives off gentle multicolored light to help you wind down before you go to bed. But it also doubles as a humidifier if your nose is stuffy or you’re a little sick. And, if that’s not enough, you can use it to diffuse essential oils too. There’s also a smart touch panel to control the lighting, mist modes, and a timer.

Simply place this lamp on the floor, plug it in, and aim it toward the wall to create a halolike effect with pops of color. It’ll make your space feel super cozy. Unfortunately, it comes with a short cord, so you’ll have to plug it into a power strip if you want to place it in a desired spot.

If you’re looking for an affordable body pillow, this is one of our favorite options for side sleepers. It’s filled with plush polyester fiber and can be contorted to fit whatever position you’re comfortable in. At 20 inches by 54 inches, it’s also a fairly large pillow for this price point.

The Super Loud Vibrating Alarm Clock is the top pick for those who are hard of hearing in our guide to The Best Extreme Alarm Clocks. It’s semi-customizable, with a buzzer that reaches up to 106 decibels and a bed shaker that you can use separately or with the alarm. The vibrations offer a more subtle way to wake up if you don’t want to hear jarring alarm sounds while the escalating pattern of the buzzing eases you into wakefulness.

This body pillow is super soft, very huggable, and has a stretchy smooth fabric that feels like velvet. It’s great for side sleepers—particularly those who are fans of cats. If not, you can get an axolotl, cow, fox, penguin, or panda instead. This is also the lowest price we’ve seen yet.

The Primula Burke Cold Brew Maker won honorable mention in our cold brew maker buying guide. It’s affordable and produces smooth-tasting coffee complete with that signature mellowed cold brew flavor. Since the filter is quite fine, you also don’t have to worry about finding a lot of sediment in your coffee. It’s also dishwasher safe and fits in most refrigerator doors.

This is an adorable lunchbox that comes with a reusable ice pack that fits in between the layers of the tray. It’s incredibly useful if you want to keep things cold during an outing. It’s dishwasher safe too, so cleanup is easy.

The KitchenAid Platform Digital Scale is our top pick in our guide to Best Kitchen Scales. The two-in-one model comes with a smaller scare that can weigh down to 0.1 grams, along with the ability to weigh two ingredients simultaneously. The large display is also backlit for readability and the stainless steel platforms deliver a sleek look in any kitchen.

With cookie season approaching, you’ll need a solid baking sheet. We love these by Nordic Ware. They’ve lasted us over a decade so far, with zero warps or hiccups. Currently, you can get two for the price of one. That way, you can stock up.

Bitvae Sonic Toothbrush

The Bitvae electric toothbrush is already our favorite cheap option, and now it’s on sale. It does a good job cleaning, comes with eight replacement heads, and is available in a handful of colors. The only downside is the charger isn’t all that convenient.

In-office teeth whitening treatments are expensive. But these Crest 3D Whitestrips are as close as you can get without breaking the bank. Although the sticky strips aren’t the most pleasant to use (you can’t eat or drink for an hour and they also tend to bunch up in foamy, sticky protuberances), we saw visible results after using them.

This lip-sleeping mask went viral on TikTok for good reason. The balm melts quickly and sinks into your skin, allowing you to wake up with the softest lips ever. The scent is also super pleasant and doesn’t overstay its welcome.

These are an affordable, slim pair of earplugs that are great to take to shows if you don’t want to be judged for them. They have clear stems and tips that go into your ear canal and lower sounds by an average of 22 decibels. They also do a solid job of being relatively flat.
