Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw

FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw

The micro-plastics fearmongers got to me—it’s time for me to get a metal water bottle. Owala is by far the most beloved brand in Esquire’s offices, so for Prime Day, I’m joining in on the fun. As someone who requires a straw in her water bottle, as well as a lightweight design (bonus points if it comes in fun colors), this BPA and lead-free choice is the obvious pick for me. —Trishna Rikhy

Crocs Realltree Lined Clog

On Sale

Realltree Lined Clog

In honor of Lana Del Rey marrying a Cajun man, I’ve been joking about leaning into my own Cajun-ness and buying a pair of Realtree Edge camo Crocs. The price is so good, and lined Crocs so comfortable, that this joke is about to be realized. —Luke Guillory

Ace Dune Messiah

On Sale

Dune Messiah

Last Prime Day, I bought Dune (Parts 1 and 2) on 4K. Did I watch it? Ehh, no, but that’s only because I was too busy reading Frank Herbert’s seminal novel it was based on. Now I’m too hyped to stop. Dune Messiah is the subversive (and mercifully short) sequel that Denis Villeneuve has said he will be tackling next. Now is the perfect time to read up and get yourself ahead of the curve. —Bryn Gelbart

Mellanni Queen Sheets Set

On Sale

Queen Sheets Set

I’m quite the bedsheet snob and after learning that crisp white sheets are the secret to making any bed feel like a luxury hotel, I went on a mission to find the most luxurious set. The near 250K five-star ratings on these don’t lie. They are incredibly comfortable and equally as incredible a steal at less than 50 bucks. At this price, I can stock up and revel in my Four Seasons-like bed the entire winter. —Nykia Spradley

GOOTHY Ceramic Christmas Lights

Ceramic Christmas Lights

I can’t find this style of Christmas light anywhere in New York City. Everything is LED, dimmable, and “Smart.” My ideal Christmas lights, however, are big old-fashioned ceramic bulbs with incandescent light that gets hot to the touch if you run them too long. These are that, and I’m hoping they dip to around 20 percent off so that I can buy a shit ton and string them all over my house like the crazy lady Winona Ryder plays in Stranger Things. —L.G.

Hanes Womens Ankle Soft Moisture-wicking Socks

On Sale

Womens Ankle Soft Moisture-wicking Socks

You can never have mismatched socks if all your socks are the same, which is why I only wear Hanes’ crew socks. They’re comfortable and classic, with a design that manages to be cozy and plush without being too cushiony. I wear these with all of my shoes, so when they’re marked down, I’ll be stocking up. — T.R

Lvetek 5-Outlet Surge Protector Wall Charger with 4 USB Ports

5-Outlet Surge Protector Wall Charger with 4 USB Ports

The current surge protector situation at the work-from-home station I share with my partner is… well, she tried her best. Back when we thought power strips were the only option. Not anymore. This surge-protecting brick is a behemoth with 5 outlets, 3 USBs, and 1 USB-C port, allowing you to charge up to nine devices simultaneously. For $10, I need it in my life. —B.G.

Hanes Beefy-T, 2-Pack

On Sale

Beefy-T, 2-Pack

I write about these shirts all the time, but it’s because they’re actually the only white tees I wear. In black they last a long time, but the white ones get ruined so fast I’m always re-upping. Thankfully, they’re on sale again, and I will be buying a new pair or two again. — T.R.

AMOAMI Waffle Bath Mat

Waffle Bath Mat

My elbows seem to function as drain pipes when I wash my face, and despite all my contorting efforts, I get water everywhere. Instead of throwing down my towel like a broke college student (although, this is affordable for them too), I’m doing myself and my new bathroom floor a favor with this plus waffle bathmat. It comes in a range of sizes from standard to runners, and six colors. It sops up water fast, so I don’t have to worry about stepping on a soggy mat when I do it all over again at night. —N.S.
