Not To Freak You Out, But It's The Last Few Days Of Amazon's Mid-Year Sales

Nothing good lasts forever.

1. Take 34% off this white noise machine, which will give babies (and let's face it, adults) a deeper and easier sleep.

Amazon

RRP $79.99 / Buy it now for $52.99.

Drown out the sound of the street outside your home (and your own thoughts) with this sleek, portable white noise machine you won't mind sitting on your bedside table. With 15 different sounds — including rain, fan, ocean and thunder — you're sure to find one to suit you. Don't want to run the battery down? Set the timer to sleep when you do.

2. Take 49% off the FOREO Luna 2, which removes 99.5% of dirt, makeup residue, dead skin cells and blackheads, for a squeaky clean face.

Amazon

RRP $279 / Buy it now for $141.57.

This small, body-safe silicone beauty tool promises to give you infinitely smoother and firmer skin after just three days. Simply use the brush as part of your cleansing routine, for two minutes only, and the fine bristles will painlessly work away imperfections. Plus, a single charge lasts for up to 450 uses, saving you time.

3. Take 39% off this body composition digital scale, which will make tracking your health (and that of everyone in your household) a cinch.

Amazon

RRP $179.99 / Buy it now (in white) for $109.

This smart scale will not just give you your gross weight — it will also break down your body composition by fat, water, muscle and bone mass. A complimentary app will track the data of up to eight users and help track nutrition, should you choose to manage your daily calorie intake.

4. Take up to 44% off this Lacoste canvas belt

Amazon

RRP $69.95 / Buy it now for $38.79 (available in five colours).

Fitted with an engraved matte steel plate buckle, this casual dress belt comes in five different colours (though just quietly, this emerald green is giving me life). It's easily adjusted (for loosening during Sunday brunches) and marked with the distinctive Lacoste logo at the tip.

5. Take 62% off this five-piece Scanpan Impact Cookware set — because you know it's time to replace that cheap set with scratched anti-stick surfaces.

Amazon

RRP $665 / Buy it now for $249.95.

Designed in Denmark and constructed from the highest quality steel, this five-piece cookware set is all you need to feed your household, no matter the dish. Thick bonded bases mean even heat distribution and tempered glass lids allow for easy viewing — without having to allow heat or steam to escape. It's so good, this product comes with a 10 year warranty against defects.

6. Take up to 83% off this lightly padded, everyday Calvin Klein bra — perfect for when we eventually emerge from lockdown and feel we must wear bras again.

RRP $89.95 / Buy it for $15.28+ (available in sizes 10B-14D and three colours).

Should you prefer a bra that offers a bit more shape and support — but still keeps a natural silhouette — this lightly padded, demi-cup bra from Calvin Klein is a gorgeous solution. Fully-adjustable straps (wear over shoulders or across the back) mean it can be adapted for every outfit and its wire-free design allows for day-long comfort.

7. Take 44% off the De'Longhi Capitals 4-Slice Toaster, which not only looks a pretty picture, but will get brekkie out to the masses faster.

Amazon

RRP $169 / Buy it now for $125 (available in six colours).

So, clearly, this is the most attractive toaster any of us have ever laid eyes on. In addition to being the prettiest thing to grace your counter, this toaster has several controls to suit your needs — including ones to reheat, defrost, toast one side of bagels and cancel operations. Independent browning controls give you the perfect level of toasting, no matter who's using it. Plus, removable crumb trays make cleaning easy.

8. Take 57% off the Safety 1st Nook Stroller — because new parenthood is expensive enough, so get one of the big-ticket items discounted here.

Amazon

RRP $349 / Buy it now for $149.99.

This lightweight stroller only weighs 6.5kg — take it from someone who spent the better part of the last decade lifting strollers in and out of the car, this is essential. Its multiple position recline allows you to transport bubs whether they are awake or sleeping — and a canopy with UPF50+ sun protection and mesh vent can ease your mind about the Aussie sun getting to your little one. Throw in a large shopping basket and the ability to fold with one hand — I'm officially jealous I didn't have this when my kids were babies.

9. Take 60% off these noise-cancelling Samsung headphones — ideal now that you're working from home and having to drown out the sound of your neighbours' music.

Amazon

RRP $499 / Buy them now for $199.

These wireless headphones are fitted with memory foam ear cushions, perfect for day-long use. Filter out some or all background noise (making those video conference meetings much easier to participate in) and don't worry about losing audio halfway through, thanks to a 20-hour battery life.

10. Take 30% off the Instant Pot pressure cooker — the answer to every cooking novice's prayers.

RRP $189+ / Buy it now from $131.90+.

I was fully prepared not to be impressed by the Instant Pot. I can not stress how tedious I find the act of cooking — but even after my very first experience, I can wholeheartedly advocate its use for the culinary-challenged or time-poor among us. A 7-in-1 appliance — yes, seven — you're able to do all the things with just a single appliance, saving storage space, washing up time and (as I was particularly curious to find out) master all the cooking techniques.

11. This Fitbit Versa, which can go FOUR DAYS without a charge.

@fitbit / @piggyrichelle / Via instagram.com

RRP $249.95 / Buy now for $179 (available in four colours).

If, like me, you're planning for a healthier you this decade, this Fitbit Versa could be the thing for you. It's the lightest Fitbit yet — plus, it's water resistant (can use in the pool!), accommodates wallet-free payments, GPS, sleep and period tracking, call and calendar alerts and all the fitness tracking for which the brand first became famous.

12. Take 38% off the Echo Dot (3rd Gen) — the virtual assistant you never thought you could ever afford (but now, totally can).

Amazon

RRP $79 / Buy it now for $49.

Yes, you can ask your smart speaker to play music. But you can also ask Alexa just about anything and make announcements to any room in your home with an Echo. From controlling lights, setting alarms, managing calendars; to making to-do lists and planning your day with weather and traffic updates, this little device does it all. Plus, you can call people with just a voice command. The robots are taking over and I, for one, welcome the new era.

13. Take 17% off these two air purifiers — which you really should invest in, considering how much time we're all spending in lockdown.

Amazon

RRP $349.89 / Buy two now for $291.67.

We have an air purifier in every bedroom in our house and I've got to tell you – best decision ever. Its three-stage filter removes ultrafine allergens and particles from the air – and thanks to its pre-filter, the main ones last much longer than your usual lot.

14. Take 49% off this Tiny Love baby rocker, which easily converts from a rocker to a seat, saving you space and money.

Amazon

RRP $189.95 / Buy it now for $95.99.

If I could do early motherhood again, I would reconsider all the things I thought I needed. Our teeny tiny apartment was jam-packed — high chair, bouncer, play gym — you couldn't step anywhere without stubbing your toe on one of my son's things. This product does it all in one — whether sleeping, playing or eating, you can put bubs in this rocker. Here's to parents everywhere regaining some space for themselves!

15. Take 58% off this portable charger, which has over 1,700 five-star reviews.

Amazon

RRP $109.95 / Buy it now for $45.99.

I'm willing to bet you're spending a lot more time on your phone nowadays and as a result, your battery juice runs low real fast. Avoid having to stay anchored to your phone charger with this power bank, which claims to charge compatible devices up to 80% in just 30 minutes — up to four times the speed of your average charger!

16. Take 63% off the Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Mattifying Liquid Foundation — which comes in 40 different shades.

Amazon

RRP $21.95 / Buy it now for $8.23.

Not only does this brilliant foundation aim to even skin tone (no matter the shade), but it will also match the texture of normal to oily skin. Micro-powders control shine and blurs pores, leaving the wearer with a poreless-looking appearance.

17. And finally, take 28% off this VTech Safe & Sound Video and Audio Baby Monitor, because you're going to be grateful for the ability to soothe your baby via screen when it's 3 a.m. and you've gotten up twice already.

Amazon

RRP $179 / Buy now for $129.

Before my first pregnancy, I thought a baby monitor with a camera and audio-broadcasting function was a bit, well, much. So young, so naive. My baby was awakened many a night by a creaking bedroom door, all because I had to check in on him in-person and not over a baby monitor.

This particular model allows for vertical angle adjustment (perfect for when your baby's crib height changes as they age), infrared capabilities and digital zoom. The parent monitor notifies of room temperature and allows for two-way communication. There's even nine soothing sounds and lullabies that can be played from the baby monitor, giving you even more precious zzz's.
