I Discover the Best Amazon Finds, and These Are the Presidents’ Day Sales I’m Shopping

With the long holiday weekend right around the corner, you better believe this shopping editor is already browsing discounted finds before the crowd. And Amazon’s Presidents’ Day sale is happening right now with attention-grabbing picks from big brands starting at $8. 

As Real Simple’s Amazon shopping expert, it’s my mission to try out best-selling and most popular products, all while keeping an eye out for on-sale prices. And even before Presidents’ Day weekend officially starts, I’m seeing tons of discounts on products for the home, kitchen, cosmetic bag, and closet at Amazon. I’m considering several Amazon deals, including items from names like Philips, Victoria’s Secret, Owala, and Stasher—all of which are up to 48 percent off.

Stasher Reusable Silicone Bowl Three-Pack

Reusable Stasher bags have been part of my food storage and meal prepping journey for years, but this is the first time I’m seeing a new version of my all-time favorite. These Stasher silicone bowls are so clever because unlike the classic style, these stand upright, allowing me to easily grab from its contents or eat directly from the bag come lunchtime. I love that these bowls are made with durable silicone that can be used in the oven, microwave, and freezer. Plus, they’re dishwasher safe for quick cleaning. Other great features: The uniformed style, flat-bottomed base, and pretty colors give them a leg up over my traditional food storage containers.

Globe Electric Molly 60-Inch Floor Lamp

I work remotely most of the week and quickly learned that ample lighting is key to staying focused. After months of working on the couch near a lamp, a bean bag near a window, or literally anywhere beyond my desk for better lighting, I can say it’s time to buy another lamp. I’m considering this mid-century modern one that has an elegant gold finish, which goes nicely with my other standing lights. The head is fully adjustable, so I can position it right above my monitor and laptop, and the heavy-weight base ensures it’ll stay put. The in-line on/off switch is convenient, too. I’m also excited that I can use the lamp to brighten up the rest of my apartment, even when I’m not chained to the desk. 

Victoria's Secret Modal Short Pajama Set

I really enjoy wearing matching pajamas; they totally upgrade my nighttime wardrobe from, err, a hole-filled rock band tee and shorts. And while Victoria’s Secret may be known for its undergarments, I also love the sleepwear, including this cute pajama set that’s on sale. Truth be told, I bought the set in black over the summer, but this sale has me back for more. The wine-color option has a white piping trim on the notched collar, hem, and pocket that stands out next to the dark hue. It’s also so soft and breathable, thanks to a blend of modal and elastane. Simply put, it’s plain ol’ cute.
