What We’re Buying on Prime Day

Our crew spends a lot of time combing through sales, which means we’ve gotten pretty good at ignoring the merely decent discounts. But every once in a while, a deal is good enough that we stop writing about it and actually buy the thing ourselves. Prime Big Deal Days has more than a few of those. So consider this the highly personal edit. These are the cashmere sweaters, grooming upgrades, home goods and other finds the Valet. team is actually adding to our carts. Some are practical, some are upgrades and a few are things we’ve been waiting to see marked down. The only real criteria? We like them, we’d happily pay for them and we just did.
