52% Off Alessi Espresso Maker 9090 by Richard Sapper
We’re always keeping tabs on discounts on Alessi products on Amazon—there’s a good deal to be had most days. Right now, it’s the Espresso Maker 9090, with its elegant stainless steel body and brown handle. The sale drops this highly rated moka pot’s price by $130.
46% Off Alessi Juicy Salif Citrus Juicer
If there were ever a kitchen gadget that you’d want to keep out on the counter, it’s the Salif juicer from Alessi. Rated nearly 5 stars by 2,000-plus reviewers, it’s a unique gift that would make most anyone smile upon opening. More than one shopper calls it a “beautiful and stunning addition” to a kitchen.
42% Off Frieling Double-Walled Stainless Steel French Press
Amazon reviewers have dubbed U.S.-made Frieling’s double-walled stainless steel French press the best they’ve ever owned. Offered in an assortment of seven bright colorways (we’re partial to the sunflower yellow), this 42% off coffee classic fits the bill for crowd-pleasing gift material.
40% Off Smith’s Rosebud Salve, Pack of 4
This set of four salve tins is just $18 during Prime Big Deal Days. If you aren’t already a fan of this classic, let the reviewers who have been using it for years convince you of its magic: Among myriad comments, shoppers say it is “head and shoulders above anything else” and “a miracle worker.”
32% Off Creative Co-Op Hand-Forged Metal Candelabra
This near two-foot-tall candelabra is hand-forged from metal featuring an elegant brass finish. Reviewers describe the tableware staple as bigger and weightier than expected or as one, in particular, put it, “large and gorgeous!”
32% Off Dyson Cool Tower Fan
It’s not often you can call a tower fan handsome—unless, of course, you’re talking about Dyson’s sleek black model. A perfect example of a practical yet incredibly crowd-pleasing gift, the smart fan comes equipped with 10 speeds backed by air-multiplier technology that provides a smooth and cooling flow.
32% Off Loftie Smart Table Lamp
This chic table lamp wields covert tech capabilities that’ll take your giftee by surpirse. The matte-finished porcelain and alloy steel design functions as a smart clock by utilizing gentle warming light to trigger morning wake-ups and evening wind-downs.
31% Off Fujifilm Instax Camera
We’ll stake a flag in the ground that an instant camera is a good gift for anyone. This version of Fujifilm’s popular Instax takes square-style film, weighs just a 1/2 pound, and includes both a flash and color filters. “Just about the best you can get for a true instant film camera these days,” says one reviewer.
30% Off Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Laneige’s cult-favorite sleeping lip mask is the kind of tiny treat that people skip for themselves. The .07-ounce jar keeps giving for months to its recipient (only a smidge is needed for each application) and, as multiple Domino editors can attest, really makes a difference immediately.
30% Off Nécessaire The Hand Cream
Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and dermatologist tested: All of this means Nécessaire’s hand cream is welcome by most people. The fact that it’s 30% off right now sidesteps reviewer complaints that it’s too expensive.
30% Off Smeg Retro Coffee Grinder
If you have a coffee lover with a retro streak in your life, might we suggest snagging them this cherry red Smeg grinder while it’s almost $140 off? Conical burrs, 30 grinding options, and nonslip feet are just a few of the features we love. Three other colors are 20% off, too, if they’d prefer something less bold.
30% Off Boy Smells LES Candle
Good candles (long burn time, nonsoapy scents) can run up the tab, so when there’s a sale on a beloved brand like Boy Smells, our suggestion is to stock up. According to reviewers, the LES scent—packed with rice powder, peach blossom, cardamom, cedar, and Asian pear—fills a room but doesn’t overpower.
30% Off Timex T80 34mm Watch
On sale for less than $50 during Prime Day, the Timex T80 is a simple, low-profile accessory that pays homage to the first digital watches that hit the market in the 1980s. The digital face includes a date display, a stopwatch with a split/lap button, and an alarm—not too much, not too little.
25% Off Beechmore Books Cork Notebook
Skip the Moleskin notebook and wrap up this surprising (and far more affordable) cork style, crafted by London-based stationery brand Beechmore Books.
25% Off SNOO Smart Sleeper Baby Bassinet
Whether you’re an expectant mother or you’ve got one at the top of your gift list, Amazon Prime Day’s SNOO sale is as good a time as any to score the high-end baby bassinet for more than $400 off.
25% Off LSA International Lotta Bowl & Ash Base
There’s not much on sale from editor-favorite LSA during this Prime Day, but we clocked the Lotta Bowl and Ash Base at 25% off. Made with mouth-blown glass and sustainably sourced wood, it’s an ideal fruit bowl if we’ve ever seen one.
25% Off Grown Alchemist Trio Hand Cream Kit
Whether you’re buying for one person or three, 25% off this Grown Alchemist hand cream trio is a good deal. The lovely little tubes contain nourishing formulas infused with grapeseed oil, hyaluronic acid, and aloe with a subtle scent reviewers describe as “delicious.”
24% Off National Geographic Rock Collection Advent Calendar
Rocks, gems, and fossils abound in this Advent calendar for the youngest set of geologists. Consisting of 24 treasures, from rose quartz to black urchin, National Geographic offers pieces that children can use to start or add to their collections.
20% Off Kazia Raffia Drink Coasters, Set of 4
Coasters are a small but useful gift idea that can be especially thoughtful when ethically crafted from all-natural materials by a small business of local artisans. Kazi’s lovely raffia coasters are handwoven and organically dyed in Africa.
20% Off Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 Portable Speaker
This German-made speaker surpasses cheaper portable models in both design aesthetics and sound quality. It’s crafted from 100% waterproof aluminum that’s as sleek-looking and lightweight as it is durable and powerful, holding a charge time of up to 18 hours.
20% Off Thousands Kids’ Metallic Helmet
All six colors of this adorable, safety-certified kid’s helmet are 20% off. Each one comes with a pack of stickers for customization, an adjustable dial system that makes for a great fit, and built-in ventilation for sweaty playdates.
20% Off Mint Julep Braided Extension Cord
While unique practical gifts might seem like an oxymoron, this braided three-outlet extender begs to differ. The design-forward cord featuring mint julep–colored strands is a breath of fresh air compared to the rubbery orange, white, and black alternatives.
20% Off UCO Mini Portable Firepit
A darn good gift idea for campers, small-space backyard dwellers, and park-goers. UCO’s portable design functions as both a mini firepit and grill, plus it’s collapsible and folds up to tote in a backpack anywhere you please.
20% Off Fellow Corvo Electric Kettle
This matte black stainless steel kettle has all kinds of things going for it. For one, its pointed spout is designed for precision pouring, while a counterbalance handle keeps things sturdy. The digital temperature and time control, quick-heating coils, and not-too-large size round out the package.
20% Off Gaggia Classic Evo Pro Espresso Maker
This made-in-Italy machine features manual commercial components alongside semiautomatic capabilities—the best of both espresso-making worlds. The sleek stainless steel design is backed by more than 1,000 5-star reviews that swear by it as the best in its price range, made even more affordable at 20% off. That’s a world-class espresso machine for under $400.
15% Off Sereed Balance Bike
If you’re gifting to a new parent or want to walk into a 1- or 2-year-old’s birthday party like you know what you’re doing, pick up a balance bike. Sereed’s is lightweight and made from aluminum alloy with a nonslip handle and soft supportive seat. Aside from its good looks, reviewers say it helps with balance and coordination and that “toddlers love this bike.”
15% Off Fatboy Portable Edison Lamps, Pack of 2
Fatboy’s Edison lamps were a bestseller from Amazon Prime Day’s first 2023 installation this past July. Now in October, the discounted duo is back on our radar as a unique gifting pick. The portable cuties boast a minimalist aesthetic, are crafted from weather-resistant materials, and can last for up to 12 hours when fully charged.
15% Off Malin+Goetz Essential Starter Kit
If the traveler in your life needs a Dopp kit amenity upgrade, gift them this set from hotelier favorite Mali+Goetz. The six-tube set is sized for carry-ons and comes with shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, facial moisturizer, body wash, and body moisturizer.
13% Off Georg Jensen Cobra Salt & Pepper Set
Stainless steel is the material of choice for many Georg Jensen pieces; these sinuous salt and pepper shakers are no different.
12% Off Manhattan Toy Jumbo Kodiak Bear
“Do not hesitate to buy this bundle of fur and joy,” says one shopper of this “wildly oversize” stuffed animal. A sale during Prime Day knocks $60 off the price tag of the 40-inch-tall toy, which is durably constructed to withstand years of play.
12% Off The Incense Match Matches, Set of 16
We’re fans of bulk gifts, those sweet surprises you can reach for in a pinch (i.e., you’re in need of a host gift or something for a relative). These little incense booklets are just that, with scents ranging from jasmine to sandalwood. Reviewers have called them “great little aroma bursts” and “better than sprays and oils.”
11% Off Red Co. Enamelware Mugs, Set of 6
Six cups for less than $25—that’s the deal on these Red Co. enamelware mugs. Add them to drink kits for hot chocolate and you’re in business. We’re partial to the black, but they also come in three other colors.
10% Off Two’s Company Bamboo Servers
We’d recommend snagging a few of these sets to keep around for the next host you need a gift for. Tie a big, flouncy bow around the 100% melamine duo for added drama.
