35% off Flexispot OC3 Ergonomic Office Chair, £169.99 £110
“For the sake of my posture, I have decided to finally ditch my cheap pleather swivel chair for a WFH seating arrangement that is a lot more ergonomically robust.

Not only are the backrest, headrest and seats all adjustable, it comes with a hook in the back that doubles as a spot to dry clothes. I will be capitalising on the limited-time promotion to give my WFH set up an upgrade for sure.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer

“I feel like a straightener is one of those things that you buy once and then that’s it. Suddenly here we are, all struggling with the same straighteners that we bought ten years ago. So, what better excuse is there to finally treat yourself to a new pair than the Amazon Prime sale? You can’t beat an iconic ghd straightener, and the Gold Professional edition is the perfect choice for both curling and straightening your hair, thanks to its smooth, curved outer and ceramic technology.” — Humeara Mohamed, SEO Writer

30% off Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream, £25.99 £18.19
“Korean beauty brand Aestura has come highly recommended, and especially this; the brand’s bestseller. It’s a highly potent moisturiser packed with a triple threat of ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol which together bolster our skin’s natural barrier and boost its ability to retain moisture. After several weeks of summer fun (festivals, holidays, parties, late nights neglecting skincare…) my dry and dehydrated skin is definitely in need of a wonder product (of which all the five-star reviews suggest it is!).” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer

20% off DOUUCO Packing Cubes, £9.99 £7.99
“As a travel journalist I swear by packing cubes whenever I go on a trip for work (whether it’s a long haul or a short weekender). They keep your contents in order (no one wants their clean clothes and dirty laundry mingling while in transit!), are usually waterproof, and make unpacking a breeze. My current ones are super worn out after six years of frequent use so I’ll be looking to reinvest in this sleek 8-piece collection, with bags for underwear, toiletries, accessories and shoes. You can mix and match the right sizes depending on your trip length — ideal when you travel as much as I do!” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer

5% off Yankee Candle Vanilla Lime Large Jar Candle, £29.99 £28.54
“A lime scented candle sounds just right for the summer months — though we aren’t seeing much actual sun in the UK, and on colder rainy days I like having a candle burning away.

21% off Satisfyer Pro 2 Next Generation Vibrator, £43.21 £34.31
“A sex toy called the Satisfyer has a lot to live up to — and this clitoral stimulator definitely does. Though I tend to have an oversensitive clit that needs internal pleasure to balance out the sensation (and spread the wealth, so to speak), this toy — thanks to something called air pulse technology — was able to cause gentle (but still somehow powerful?) pleasure without direct contact. Plus, now at £34, it’s worth every satisfying penny.” — Charlotte Lewis, Sexual Wellness Writer

“I don’t know if anyone else pushes off dentist appointments because of anxiety, but I got a rude awakening a few months ago about the status of my teeth, SO I invested in an electric toothbrush. I personally love Oral-B’s line of fancy electric brushes and would recommend scooping one up while they are on super sale for Prime Day. Since I already have mine, you’ll find me stocking up on a backup brush (for travel or for when I’m home visiting family) and enough discounted replacement heads to last me through the year.” — Alexandra Polk, Lifestyle Writer

“It may be October, but London is still hot-hot and it’s not built for this heat. The first thing I’m snapping up on Prime Day is an oscillating tower fan so I can ride out this late heat wave and prepare myself for next summer. Bonus, this one is small enough to be moved around my teeny-tiny flat easily and also purifies the air, which is great for my allergies.” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
