The top 10 Amazon Prime Day deals to shop today — before they're gone

If you know Lee, you know the brand rarely goes on sale. But Prime Day has brought us a whopper: up to 59% off a ridiculously popular pair of shorts. They start at a record-low $14 right now!

It seems like everywhere you look, people are wearing high-waisted everything. But many people think shorts like these, with a mid-rise, are just right. They're mostly cotton with a smidgen of spandex so you won't feel constricted — a must for utility shorts that will get a lot of wear. 

"I needed shorts that would be knee-length, have pockets and an elastic waist, be comfortable and still look sharp, and these fit the bill," wrote a savvy shorts enthusiast.

This coffee beast isn't only an eye-opening $200 off, it's recommended by none other than Martha Stewart, who included the Breville Barista Express in a gift guide for US Weekly, calling it "the best" and saying it'll inspire recipients to "get rid of those pods and make real coffee." 

Of course, the best gifts are often the ones we treat ourselves to, and if you appreciate a good cuppa, you can't do much better than this. It's not the smallest kitchen gadget, but what a beauty! Countertop eye candy for sure. 

This pro-level dynamo is over 40% off and comes chef-recommended: "One of the most practical tools you can have in your kitchen," says Derek Piva, executive chef at The Restaurant at Tu Tu’ Tun in Gold Beach, Ore. "It's great for braises, stocks, rice, stews and even yogurt. Whether you're batch-cooking or pressed for time, it's a versatile piece of equipment that pays for itself in convenience."

These easy, breezy warm-weather slip-ons are super lightweight with breathable knit uppers and a cushy, cooling memory-foam insole. Use them to get your daily steps in or to get you to the office — they'll keep your tootsies happy till day's end. They also happen to be at their lowest price ever.

"Worth every penny," shared a shopper. "Very comfortable and can throw in washer. Love being able to step right into them. Would be ideal for older folks who have difficulty tying shoes."

Been curious to see what all the Stanley hype is about? Now's a good time, seeing as this sleek beverage vessel is down to a record low. 

Home & Garden Writer Kristin Granero named it the "best flip-straw water bottle" after testing a bunch, saying it "proved 100% leak-proof with the flip straw folded ... Because you can easily flip the IceFlow straw down when not in use, dirt and debris aren't as likely to get through. The foldable, flexible lid handle makes for compact packing and easy carrying too.

"Consider it a shoo-in for commutes, weekend trips and summer campouts. It's also tween-friendly: My 10-year-old niece and her schoolmates love the 20-ounce version for hydrating between classes and recreational activities."

Parents of children and pets: This one's a must. We were already fans of the original version, but I'm personally so excited about the newer 7-pound mini model. It tackles the same jobs as its larger sibling, targeting stubborn stains on upholstery and carpeting — only schlepping it around just got even easier. 

This set comes with the Little Green, a 4-inch tough stain tool, a HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool and a trial-size bottle of cleaning formula — and it's down to a record-low price.
