Ain3 Gold Cake Cutting Set

Special summer occasions, and all year round, call for festive, luxurious cutlery. What could be more festive? For a limited time, this two-piece set featuring a gold knife and serving spatula is half off. Mom will love the subtle yet festive color and thick stainless steel edges.

Utopia Kitchen Clear Soda Can Organizers, Set of 4

Any Southerner knows that when the temperature rises, the drinks get colder. By 5pm (or even earlier if you're by the pool), you might be reaching into the fridge all day for a soda, sparkling water, or a crisp beer. Still, having too many different drinks can clutter up your fridge. Instead, opt for this space-saving 4-pack of clear soda can organizers. They effectively divide up space and keep your cans well-distributed. “You'll know when you're low on a particular flavor so you can refill as needed,” one shopper wrote. “And they're easy to clean when you need to.”

Purifyou 14.5 inch Stainless Steel Straw

Whether you're enjoying an iced coffee, cocktail, or ice-cold Coca-Cola on your front porch, now's the perfect time to stock up on reusable straws. (Plus, they're great for when you lose the straw in your tumbler.) These angled straws are extra long and wide for your convenience and come with a premium silicone tip, portable case, and cleaning brush.
