What Food Network Editors Are Buying on Prime Big Deal Days

A former colleague introduced me to this lip mask a few Prime Days ago and I wait every year for it to go on sale to stock up. During this October sale, I'll be purchasing a few for myself and some for friends and family holiday gifts.

I swear by my GreenPan cookware set at home, and this two-piece set is the perfect replacement pack for my pans that get used nearly every day. The 50 percent off deal is so good, I'll probably buy a set for some family members, too, who I know could also use a few replacements!

My noise-canceling headphones are almost permanently attached to my head — I use them to listen to podcasts on my commute and while I cook, they're essential for Zoom meetings, and sometimes I even sleep with them on! So they've been through a lot, and I've been thinking that it's time to upgrade. This pair looks sleek and comfortable, and navy color is a fun alternative to typical boring black.

Several members of my family are obsessed with nugget ice, so I think I'm going to have to snag one of these Opal 1.0 Nugget Ice Makers to give as a joint gift since it's rarely marked down this low.

I'm an ice-cold water drinker, and an insulated water bottle is a must-have for commuting to the office and staying hydrated throughout the day. This bottle is leakproof and the lid has a built-in straw, which are both wins in my book. My co-worker and fellow editor, Laura James, swears by her Hydro Flask bottle, so I'm going to snag my own for 35 percent off today.

I've been wanting a robot vacuum for months but held off for Prime Day sales. I have my eye on the Roborock S7 vacuum plus mop, with a self-emptying dock. My toddler is excited that we're getting a "robot," but I'm even more excited to have our after-dinner cleanup routine be so much easier.

I rely on my airpods pretty regularly and I always make sure they're in my bag before I leave the house for work or to run errands on the weekends. They're small, easily portable and the charging case that the pods come nestled inside really helps keep the headphones adequately charged between Zoom call after Zoom call. I've been wearing my 1st generation AirPods into the ground, so I can't wait to treat myself to a pair of these 2nd gen ones, which have an even longer-lasting battery! The Prime Day price drop is just too good to pass up too!

My dog is obsessed with running around the backyard and playing fetch, and there's just something about mud puddles he loves even more. However, my rugs and couches do not love the muddy paw prints he sometimes leaves behind. To take care of those messes, along with wine spills and other tough stains, I plan on grabbing the BISSELL Little Green Machine. This carpet and upholstery cleaner is great to have on hand when spills happen.

This year was one of my worst allergy seasons to date (not to mention dealing with pesky air pollution thanks to wildfire smoke), which is why I'm investing in an air purifier this Prime Day. This model from Blueair is small and unobtrusive in my bedroom, so I'll be able to sleep soundly without waking up to sneeze at 5 a.m. Plus, it connects to an app on my phone, so I can see exactly what's being filtered out of my air.

I've been wanting a cordless vacuum forever, and the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Origin looks like the perfect option for my small two-bed, one-bath house. I've heard great things from friends and from reading online reviews about the cleaner head with laser lights and that it really makes a difference in getting a thorough clean since it illuminates dust and debris you wouldn't otherwise see, which is perfect for my house since I have mostly hardwood and tile floors.

I already have the Samsung Frame TV in my living room and absolutely love it. The QLED 4K TV boasts an anti-reflection matte display and can be turned to "Art Mode" when not in use to look like an actual piece of art. (No one will ever suspect it's actually a TV.) I plan to buy this 50-inch version for my bedroom because it already comes with a bezel included! The teak bezel is my favorite, as it looks just like a wooden art frame.

The holiday baking season is right around the corner, and this KitchenAid thermometer will ensure I have the perfect temperature when making caramel. Bonus: The thermometer can also be used for deep frying.

This is my fifth year as an editor covering Prime Day and one of my favorite underrated buys is a Peloton. These bikes virtually never go on sale and now's the time to buy one before the cold weather and holidays roll around. (By Cyber Week in November these babies end up on backorder.) By September, you'll be thanking yourself for snagging one of these on sale (or kicking yourself that you missed your shot).

I can't wait to get my hands on anything from Yamazaki Home, a Japanese homeware brand that bridges smart design and a minimalist aesthetic. Rice is a staple in my household, so I'll be adding this Tower Grain Container to my cart. The storage piece is a step ahead of most on the market because it's divided into even smaller sections that measure out to one Japanese serving cup (or 75% of a U.S. cup). That means when measuring rice for my rice cooker, I can look forward to one less dirty dish (the plastic measuring cup) in the sink.

One of the things my mom and I have in common is our love of baking. She lives a few hours from me, so we spend a lot of time on video calls, showing off our weekend baking projects and sharing tips and tricks. And, while our cell phones work when it comes to looking up recipes, setting timers and making calls, I think she’d appreciate having an Echo Show in her kitchen because she can do all of those things hands-free. So, I’m taking this opportunity to get her one — and get a head start on my holiday shopping! Added bonus: this device doubles as a digital photo frame, allowing her to keep pics of her family (and grandkids!) on display at all times.

I already have one of these compact folding chairs, and I'll be getting more for friends and family! They've come in handy in various situations — waiting in line for cult-favorite cinnamon rolls, outdoor hangouts, camping trips — just about any situation where you could use an extra seat but also don't have the hands to carry something clunkier.
