A few summers ago, pool floats went from a kiddie must-have to a verified Instagram accessory for millennials. And the trend shows no signs of slowing down. Instead, there are new heights to be reached, new objects to be made into inflatable pool toys. While we wait to see what’ll be a hit this summer, things don’t get more millennial-centric than this avocado float, currently on sale at Urban Outfitters.

Joseph Joseph occupies an interesting space when it comes to homewares. The brand is both design-forward and problem-solving in ways we truly haven’t seen before — plus the wares are generally very affordable. All three of these points certainly apply to this nesting cutting board set. And, for a limited time, it’s cheaper on Amazon than on the company’s site. Right now, the set is marked down from $30 to just $19.

Who are we kidding? Ice cream is a year-round treat. It’s just that it tastes even better during the summer — especially when it’s homemade! Whether you have a hand-me-down machine that could stand to be replaced or you’re new to the churn-your-own process, we’ve got some good news: Three of our favorite ice cream makers happen to be on sale right now. At less than $30 (and an average rating of 4.3 stars), this version is a great starter model.

If you don’t have a grill yet or want to upgrade the one you do have, Memorial Day is a great time to go shopping for one. The weekend is full of sales, which usually focus on all the summer essentials like grills, patio furniture, and melamine dinnerware (check out more on these sales!). Here are five great deals on grills that we’re currently eyeing.

Coffee pods have long been a boon to people who crave both caffeine and convenience. And Nespresso has been the high standard for single-serve coffee and espresso that feels both simple and luxurious. Of course, that high standard usually comes with a high price tag to match. Today, however, you can get the Nespresso Vertou Coffee and Espresso Maker with a milk frother for 40 percent off on Amazon.

What are your summer plans? Getting caught up on reading by the pool? Making no-cook dinners as much as possible? Having all the frosé? If you don’t already have a great blender, summer is the perfect time to invest in one. And one of our favorite premium blenders, from the high-end brand Blendtec, is currently on sale on Amazon for 27 percent off.

There seems to be no shortage of sales this Memorial Day weekend. Most are centered around grills and patio furniture, though, so you might not be all that excited by them. But have you heard about Anthropologie’s sale? All current sale items for the home are an additional 40 percent off, meaning you could end up getting as much as 75 percent off the original price. Here are our favorite eye-catching picks, all under $25 — and some under $5!

In the endless sea of products offered on Amazon these days, you may have missed that the site has also quietly launched several private-label brands, like Wickedly Prime (snacks and pantry goodies) and even furniture lines. One of our favorite Amazon private-label brands: the aptly named, no-frills AmazonBasics line. It includes all sorts of things like batteries, Moleskin notebook alternatives, and, of course, plenty of kitchen gear.

We’ve written before about how Joseph Joseph is one of our favorite brands for innovative home goods that give basics (like cutting boards or drawer organizers) a design-forward, extra-functional twist. The brand’s nine-piece nesting bowl set, which includes a colander and measuring spoons, is perhaps their most iconic product, even inspiring a slew of imitators. And today an equally inventive set of mixing bowls from Joseph Joseph is on sale on Amazon.

A quick design lesson: One of the most iconic French presses comes from Bodum, a Danish company that’s been making them since the 1970s. The gadget is more than just a pretty face: It’s also one of our favorite French presses on the market. And it’s currently on sale — bundled with a coffee grinder and a kettle — for more than 30 percent off.

We recently had a summer happy hour at the Apartment Therapy Media offices, with cocktails served up by guest bartender (and ATM staff member) Michael Kuhn. When I went to get a drink, I noticed he was shaking up his delicious gin-and-basil concoction in a BlenderBottle. Having been unable to locate a cocktail shaker, he improvised with the shaker cup, which gave me a major moment of inspiration. What else could you use a BlenderBottle for? BlenderBottle, $9.

When we think about Amazon Prime Day, we think discounts — and lots of them. But this year, there’s an extra Prime Day offering that actually has nothing to do with sales. Allow us to introduce you to Prime Day Launches, a collection of products that are new and currently only available to Amazon Prime members. Not a member? Sign up for Amazon Prime here! While it’s a seemingly random assortment of products — like toys and an audio version of E.M.

Amazon Prime Day is just four years old, and it’s already become a full-fledged shopping holiday. And other retailers want in on some of that sweet retail action. So, once again, Sur la Table is running its own sale called Lime Day (any rhyming with the other shopping holiday is purely coincidental, we’re sure.) This one-day event is full of “juicy deals” — as much as 65 percent off top cookware brands like Staub and Le Creuset.

Happy Amazon Prime Day! That’s right — it’s finally here. Yay! Wait, what’s that? You’re overwhelmed by the sales? We don’t blame you — there are nearly 58,000 Spotlight Deals running during the full 36 hours of Prime Day (yes, this “day” has a full 12 extra hours in it), and that’s before you take into account the flash deals.

Do you need to outfit a kitchen quickly? (Or maybe just replace a lot of cookware that’s past its prime?) Amazon is having a one-day sale on this eight-piece set from Cuisinart. Typically priced at $365, it’s $100 until 12 p.m. Pacific time. The stainless steel set is a great mix of value (the pieces average out to $20 a pop) and quality. You’ll definitely be able to use these for years, making it a great starter set for first apartments.

Sur la Table is offering 20 percent off (and free shipping!) all full-priced items, now through Monday, July 30. That means just about everything (except for things already on sale) can be bought at a discount for a limited time. You just have to use the code “CHEF18” at checkout. Unsure of what to spring for? Here are the items that Kitchn staffers are buying, eyeing, and recommending.

Brewing coffee is a relatively simple process (add water to grounds) with hundreds of ways to make it more complicated. For true coffee nerds, getting the right filters, grinders, coffee makers, and accessories can be akin to a ritual. But for the rest of us it can feel like a byzantine system that can be just as easily messed up as done successfully. Even if you are more Mr. Coffee and less hipster barista, you’ll want to check out this Coffee Gator sale on Amazon.

Sur La Table is currently offering 20 percent off almost everything on their site with the code “PEACH18.” This end-of-summer sale also gets you free shipping on orders over $59. That’s a lot of stuff to sift through — before you get too excited, however, not every big-name brand is choosing to participate. (Sorry, no Instant Pots or Le Creuset.) But several of our favorite brands are participating, like OXO and All-Clad.

Target is currently running deals on dorm room essentials for as much as 25 percent off – but you don’t have to be stocking up on shower caddies and Bob Marley posters to take advantage of the best deal. Keurig’s newest addition to the coffee pod family, the K-Mini single-serve coffee maker, is currently just $60, marked down from $80. With a one-button control (after powering it up), you simply fill up the reservoir with the desired amount of water and hit go.

Just like with cars, Vitamix machines, and Instant Pots, there are various models of All-Clad pots and pans. While they’re all pretty high-end, there are varying degrees of fanciness and price. The most affordable is tri-clad, meaning those pots have three layers of metal. And it goes up from there — with more layers, better durability, and more even heating. Typically, we would recommend just going for the most affordable option that works for you.

Labor Day is exactly two weeks away, which means even if we’re not going to see leaves change or temperatures drop for a while, we’re already getting excited for fall. Anthropologie must sense our summer ennui, because the brand’s fall home collection was just released. The looks are all classic Anthro (bold prints, cute animals, and whimsical takes on classic pieces) with colors updated for fall. And there are a surprising amount of fun goodies for just $20 or less.

There are a bunch of Labor Day sales going on right now, making it a good time to load up on everything from stand mixers to plates and bowls. Online retailer Wayfair is one such place where you can do that, with clearance deals going up to 75% off. While Wayfair is a one-stop shop for just about everything, from mattresses to range hoods, their clearance sales are a good time to shop more design-focused buys.

Saturday, September 29, is National Coffee Day. But for those of us who require a cup in the morning, every day is National Coffee Day. While we can be cynical and say that it’s all about getting caffeine into our bodies, that would also mean that any ol’ brew would do. Coffee-lovers, however, know that’s not true. There are tons of little things we do to make our coffee just how we like it.

There’s no bad time of year to buy a Vitamix. Whether you want to whip up cooling smoothies or warming soups, there’s a reason to break out this kitchen workhorse year-round. And while there’s no bad time to make the investment, the best time is during a sale. And today only, Sur La Table is offering an impressive 40 percent off refurbished models. With new Explorian models costing $350 and up, this deal is the lowest we can find on the internet today.

It’s not even Friday, let alone Black Friday, but retailers are already starting to roll out their Black Friday deals. That includes Amazon, who launched early Black Friday deals starting today. The early deals have replaced the normal Amazon daily deals section of the website, which means they’ll also refresh daily, with six spotlight deals that only run for 24 hours.

Fall kind of creeps up on us, until one day all the leaves have changed suddenly and it’s pitch black before we can get off work. (Blame the end of daylight saving time.) But if you found yourself caught off-guard by the sudden descent of chilly weather and dark nights, Amazon is here for you. For today only, they’re offering huge price cuts on bulk tea, coffee, and more — starting at 30 percent off.

That's over $100 in savings.

Black Friday just ended, but in case you missed that Instant Pot deal, Amazon is back with another week of deals, starting with Cyber Monday. They’re also kicking it off with over 50 timed Deals of the Day (compared to their normal six). The timed deals tend to be some of the store’s best on big-name brands. And just like with Black Friday, they are featuring lots of big-ticket and coveted items like, yes, the Instant Pot, as well as a chic air fryer and an espresso machine.

Air fryers might seem like an appliance you can pass over if you’re not regularly deep-frying chicken, but that’s not quite the case. The device, which looks like something that might be mistaken for a UFO if it landed on your doorstep, is great for a number of tasks, including dessert. Even better, the mode of cooking — circulating hot air — allows for even, quick cooking without any fussing or flipping on your end.

Anthropologie has extended its 30% off everything sale through Cyber Monday. That means you can get just about anything you’ve been coveting and save big. (And maybe even get some holiday shopping done while you’re at it?) But if you need a little inspo, here are five home and kitchen buys we love. See All Our Coverage of the Biggest Sales Week of the Year Here We recently wrote about our love of coupe glasses at Anthro.

Amazon’s 12 Days of Deals are nearly over, and it seems they might have been saving the best for last. Today, they are running huge discounts on 12 kitchen products, many of them big-ticket ones we love, including a KitchenAid stand mixer and a mini Instant Pot. Here are our favorite deals on the list. If you’ve been wanting some of these covetable goodies for a while, we wouldn’t blame you if you forwarded this to anyone who’s asking you what you want for the holidays.

There are only a few shopping days before Christmas, and if you are still searching for the perfect gift (or wondering how you’ll make coffee for a house full of guests?) Amazon has three great daily deals. They’re perfect for holiday lists — either for hosts or for under the tree. Like all daily deals, they run until midnight P.T. tonight. The copper base on this food processor makes this totally gift-worthy.

At Kitchn, we’re huge fans of OXO. Their products are reliably designed to perform cooking tasks and obsessively engineered down to the tiny details that make using their products not only effective but also delightful. As it turns out, there’s another group of people who really agree with us: OXO’s own employees. Okay, maybe not the most surprising fact in the world, but their enthusiasm for the brand is truly infectious. And their knowledge? Exhaustive.

A few times a year, All-Clad offers truly deep discounts on their high-end cookware through Home & Cook Sales. The products all come directly from All-Clad, but are all factory seconds, meaning there are minor cosmetic dents and scratches that won’t affect their performance. (Skeptical? I will say this: Every much-loved piece of All-Clad cookware I personally own is from this sale, and I actually haven’t been able to even tell where the scratches are.

If seeing people’s Instant Pot creations during the polar vortex has you craving warm, comforting food fast, we have great news: Instant Pot’s DUO Plus 6 quart model is 38 percent off today only on Amazon. (That’s $50 off the regular retail price.) One of the more advanced Instant Pot models, it normally retails for $130. With the current deal, which runs until midnight P.T. tonight, this makes the DUO Plus the same price as the basic Lux model.

For years, I was a toaster oven denier. Who needs a miniature, worse version of something already in your kitchen? Sure, it heats up quickly, but many of those little jobs could probably be handled in a toaster, and it never seemed worth the extra counter space. Then my sister told me she wanted a toaster oven for Christmas. Mind you, I remained personally anti-toaster oven, but for the sake of my little sister, I’d do the internet research and pick out a nice one for her.

Sur La Table’s President’s Day sale is live, and while that means discounts on everything from blenders to sheet pans, one thing caught our eye: Le Creuset is up to 45 percent off, including items in one of their newest colors, Sea Salt. We wrote about the new color launch back in January, and Sea Salt just happened to be our favorite of the latest additions.

Presidents’ Day is one of those holidays that manages to pass by without much fanfare. It’s not a day that you’re necessarily going to have off from work or school, so it might even be a source of mild resentment. But there is something to be glad about, even if you are working: It’s our last major shopping holiday until Memorial Day, when retailers again drop their prices in honor of the long weekend.

Amazon has a lot of flash sales on big-ticket items like Vitamix blenders and Instant Pots, but sometimes it can be nice to take advantage of big sales on smaller things, too. If your kitchen tool arsenal needs an upgrade, today is your day. Until midnight P.T., Amazon is offering as much as 41 percent off a variety of smart, useful tools. They include both everyday essentials as well as more niche finds that will nevertheless make your life a whole lot easier.

What is it about coffee mugs that makes them so much more meaningful than, say, a dinner plate? I recently moved, and Kondo-ing my mug collection was the hardest part of packing. Perhaps because it’s tied to an important daily ritual (for me, a cup of black coffee as soon as I roll out of bed), it is easy to feel sentimental. Emotionalism aside, there are often other reasons a mug becomes favored: a nice grip, a good size, or just regular ol’ aesthetics.

Do you feel like your true calling is to wear a caftan and sip cocktails all summer long? Is your dream job driving around southern California or Palm Beach in a convertible, while wearing giant vintage sunglasses? If so, you probably already know to shop Anthropologie to stock your space and closet. But even if you’re familiar with their boho-chic vibes, we expect you’ll still be wowed by their summer home collection.
