Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Dog Walking Harness

Deal price: $21 | Street price: $29

The Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Dog Walking Harness stands out because it has a vest shape that won’t constrict a dog’s neck and it's made of tough, durable materials that won’t easily pill, tear, or fray. All the available colors and sizes are on sale, so be sure to get the one that will fit your pup best.

Redi Shade Original Blackout Pleated Paper Shade (6-Pack, 48" x 72")

Deal price: $31 | Street price: $40

While our main picks are better-quality and longer-lasting shades, the Redi Shade Original Blackout Pleated Paper Shade is the best choice if you need temporary blackout curtains (or just want to see if they're worth investing serious money in). Our budget pick comes in packs of six, can be cut to width, and couldn’t be easier to install—just peel and stick.

TaoTronics LED Desk Lamp with Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger

Deal price: $42 | Street price: $56
Use code PRIME

A great desk lamp can make all the difference in your workspace—both functionally and aesthetically. If you want to have fine control over the color temperature of your light, how bright it is, where it’s focused, and want extra functionality out of it, we recommend this LED desk lamp from TaoTronics. We like that it does double duty as both a lamp and a charger, and that it has some nice extra features like a night-light mode and a one-hour timer.
