Tovolo Penguin Ice Pop Molds

Deal price: $14 | Street price: $16

Beat the heat this summer with a frozen treat. These cute, hassle-free ice pop molds are perfect for kids. They feature four unique penguin designs in two-ounce molds that are just the right size for elementary schoolers. Although a little finicky to fill, they’re easy to peel and each popsicle can be removed individually without presoaking or warm-water rinsing. Plus, they’re dishwasher safe and a breeze to clean.

1byone Digital Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna

Deal price: $17 | Street price: $22

An indoor HDTV antenna is a simple, affordable way to supplement your other subscription services with some live TV. Our budget pick doesn’t offer as many features as our top pick—like a detachable cable or reversible cover to better blend into your decor—but it can pick up a respectable amount of channels depending on your location. It also comes with a generously long cable—13 feet attached to the antenna and 3 more attached to the amplifier—as well as a convenient mounting system.

TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch Dimmer HS220

Deal price: $17 | Street price: $19

Add some smart home functionality to your lights with an affordable Wi-Fi dimmer switch. The HS220 is reliable and easy to use once installed—allowing you to control your home's lighting with an app or voice command no matter where you are. It responds quickly to commands and the Kasa app is user-friendly with clear controls for presets, schedules, and timers. Though it can be integrated with smart assistants, like Amazon Alexa, the HS220 is also Wi-Fi enabled, so it doesn’t require a hub to get started.

VTech Lil' Critters Spin and Discover Ferris Wheel Toy

Deal price: $8 | Street price: $11

Whether your child has a disability, a complex medical condition, or you’re simply looking for new toys to help foster their development, this ferris wheel is a popular toy in every occupational therapist’s bag. The Lil’ Critters wheel has a single switch that controls power and volume and a suction-cup base to hold it securely in place. A gentle pat on the animal shaped levers is enough to produce a satisfying whirl and the animals are large enough to press with a palm—a surprisingly hard-to-find feature in toys for children who are working on their finger control and pincer grasp.

How to stay cool even when you have to cover up

There are many reasons why a person might need to cover up—but that doesn’t mean you should have to suffer in the summer heat. Here are some tips to staying cool without stripping down.

Cool down with chill week

It’s easy to get caught up in the nostalgia of summer, but it’s not all BBQs and pool parties. Summer also means long, hot days under the sun. Here’s how we stay cool, even in the heat.

The best cheap mini fridge

Keep your favorite beverages cold and within reach with a great mini fridge. After 20-hours of testing, we think the Midea WHS-65LSS1 is the best of the bunch.
