10 of Amazon's buzziest buys are on sale for 4th of July, starting at just $8
From a wildly popular portable fan to a splash-resistant wireless speaker, snag these five-star helpers at a holiday discount.
Here's wishing you a spectacular Independence Day! And we're not talking about fireworks. While loads of people are packing their coolers for a summer celebration, we're picking out our favorite 4th of July deals. We're eyeing some wild discounts at Amazon, of course, and while we love the markdowns on big items, right now is a great opportunity to stock up on smaller goods including summer hostess gifts, vacation-savers and problem-solving gadgets.
We particularly adore this batch of buzzy items on Amazon — like the hair-saving satin pillowcases from Bedsure or the waterproof True Wireless Earbuds from Tozo. Each has thousands of fans, and that means something. In our experience, Amazon shoppers are discerning, opinionated and wise. So if a metric ton of them swear by a skin-care gem, a cleaning must-have or something to make dinner prep a little less exhausting, we're here for it. Shop our favorite deals below.
Roll away stress, puffiness and fine lines. When used consistently, this jade roller and gua sha tool set can improve circulation in the face, brightening and tightening skin overall.
"The facial roller is a game-changer for my skincare routine," explained a fan. "Its cooling effect is incredibly soothing, reducing puffiness and promoting relaxation — I've noticed improved circulation and a more radiant complexion since incorporating it."
If you don't already sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase, you're missing out — it's gentler on your skin and hair than cotton, plus it prevents those annoying creases you get on your face. It stays cooler too!
"The satin pillowcase I purchased has been a game-changer for my sleep and hair-care routine," a satisfied customer said. "It feels incredibly smooth and luxurious, providing a cool, comfortable surface to rest on. Since using it, I've noticed fewer tangles and less frizz in my hair. It's also gentle on my skin, reducing morning wrinkles. The quality and durability are impressive, and it adds an elegant touch to my bedding."
With over 70,000 five-star reviews, this serum made with snail secretions has a massive fan base. Snail mucin is a mucus-like protein and contains multiple compounds — including collagen, elastin and glycolic acid — that experts have long considered beneficial for human skin.
Users rave about how hydrated and bright their skin feels after use. "At 60 years old, I have tried a lot of products for skin care," shared one former skeptic. "I have not been more impressed with any product. ... It has a light scent, and you don't need to use a lot. My bottle is half gone after a few months. It has completely erased some old scars from some facial surgery. My skin is much more toned, and wrinkles are minimized."

If you've ever found yourself reaching into the backseat, desperately searching for your purse, this mega-popular purse holder is for you. Fasten the hooks between the driver's and passenger's seats to form an easy-to-reach hammock that cradles your essentials.
"This is great for the car," one reviewer raved. "No more turning corners and having my purse sliding, falling over and dumping its contents between the seat and door on the passenger side."
This simple but ingenious summer must-have is two floats connected by soft mesh. That means you can sit on it and have two armrests, or you can kick back and use the floats as head and footrests. Either way, you can get immersed in the water without sinking.
"Dangerously relaxing," wrote a rave reviewer. "The first time I relaxed in the pool with this float, I didn't want to get out of it. My friend floated in it, and she was ready to buy one of her own. I really like how it's not much to inflate! When the entire float is inflatable, it leaves too much room for it to pop. It holds air really well. My favorite summer buy so far!"
If there's one thing you can count on this summer, it's heat. While there might not be air conditioning everywhere you go, you can at least control the weather in your personal space with this über popular handheld fan. It's wireless (and rechargeable), so you can take it anywhere — on the plane, to the pool, on a picnic — without having to plug it in.
"I love this little fan!" wrote one of 42,000 five-star fans. "Recently toured hot, humid Tokyo. Lots of walking around outside. This fan was a lifesaver! Compact so it fits in a pocket or you can hang it from your wrist. Easily charged fully each night. Never ran out of charge and I used it at full speed for hours a day. Best travel gadget I ever bought!"
No need to shell out north of $100 for a pair of great earbuds — these are just as powerful as the name-brand ones. What makes these even better — besides the long battery life and one-step pairing — is that you can control them with just a single touch. Want to pause a song or podcast? Tap once. Adjust the volume? Hold. No need to fish your phone out of your pocket.
"These are my favorite daily wear earbuds by far," shared a five-star fan. "They're comfy, stay in all day and the case is compact, which is great because I take them everywhere. The battery in the charging case lasts me days before I have to charge it again. Overall can't go wrong with these."

Beloved by more than 11,000 Amazon reviewers, these pillows are made with super plush hollow fiber, making them soft yet firm.
"My husband and I are very picky about our pillows, and we are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these are," wrote a happy sleeper. "We are both side sleepers, and these have helped both of us have better nights of sleep. They support our necks without feeling like we are too propped up, and they offer enough give to help us feel like our necks are being cradled. I'm glad I found these."
Who says you have to spend a small fortune on great speakers to get the party going? This guy is a top-seller and has over 138,000 five-star ratings. Don't let the low price fool you: It packs an audio punch, and shoppers love the long battery life (up to 14 hours) and easy setup.
"This speaker is a tiny powerhouse with insane battery life," raved a five-star reviewer. "I use this in my old truck because the radio isn't in great shape. It has great sound and I can go a couple weeks of intermittent use without charging it! It connects easily to my phone, and the color coordinates with my truck interior!"

With this popular air fryer, you can enjoy all of your favorite crispy foods without dunking them in oil. Plus, its compact size won't take up a ton of space — though it's roomy enough to fit up to 2 pounds of fries at a time.
"My new favorite kitchen appliance," gushed a five-star fan. "We finally broke down and bought this air fryer. We love it, have used it almost every day and are still getting the hang of it. It's easy to use and very easy to clean. The basket holds enough food for two people and possibly more if the items are smaller."
