Tomorrow might be America’s birthday, but if you ask me, we’re the ones racking up gifts. At least, the July 4th sales I’m seeing at Amazon on this lovely Thursday sure feel like presents. Now, I’ve been a professional deals hunter for years, and, full transparency, I’m not usually impressed by markdowns leading up to Prime Day (which kicks off on July 8, FYI). But I’ve spotted some rare gems, and even a few record-low prices to scoop up before next week’s markdown madness ensues.
Need a new hand vacuum? This heavy-duty Craftsman (which I swear by) is on sale for its best price ever at $59 (down from $100). Did last week’s “heat dome” catch you unprepared? “One if by air, two if by water” are the bywords for this indoor/outdoor Shark misting fan. Liberate yourself from seasonal swelter while saving a very cool 50 bucks (also an all-time low). Summertime means your face needs extra-special care. Alas, not all eye creams are created equal, so make sure you score a tube of this line-minimizing option from RoC — it’s nearly 35% off (and comes recommended by our beauty editor).
All that, plus deals on Apple, Waterpik, KitchenAid, Hanes and s’more. (You will be eating some of those this weekend, right?)

“Did I mention there are pockets? Never expected in a dress, but always appreciated, so you can stash a few small essentials while you run errands or slip your phone into one instead of digging around in your purse. There are a whopping 45+ styles — solids and prints of every variety — and certain options are on sale for as little as $18.” (That’s an all-time low at 40% off.)
