Perks and Rec: Prime Day is on its way

Mark your calendars: Amazon’s Prime Day is coming back July 16 and 17. Although the big event is still (*counts on fingers*) three weeks away, we’re already seeing some stellar deals pop up.  

If your lawncare arsenal could use an upgrade, grab a new hedge trimmer, our favorite garden hose and a smart sprinkle system we love. We also found a deal on this bird feeder with a built-in camera, which makes a great gift for birdwatchers. 

After you’ve worked on the outside of your home, let’s take a look at the inside. Our value pick in air purifiers is $90 off today—pair it with this $20 desktop fan our readers find to be a refreshing reprieve from the summer heat. You can also grab the best air fryer we’ve tested and a pack of smart plugs while they’re marked down. 

Happy shopping,
