Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Editorial Picks – What Esquire Editors Are Buying

The microplastic scaremongers have caught me – it's time for me to get a metal water bottle. Owala is by far the most popular brand in the Esquire offices, so I'm joining in on the fun for Prime Day. As someone who needs a straw in their water bottle as well as a lightweight design (bonus points if it comes in fun colors), this BPA and lead-free choice is the obvious choice for me. –Trishna Rikhy

In honor of Lana Del Rey marrying a Cajun man, I joked about embracing my own Cajun persona and purchasing a pair of camouflage Realtree Edge Crocs. The price is so good and the lined Crocs are so comfortable that this joke will soon come true. –Luke Guillory

Last Prime Day I bought Dune (parts 1 and 2) on 4K. Have I seen it? Uhh, no, but that's just because I was too busy reading Frank Herbert's groundbreaking novel on which it's based. Now I'm too excited to stop. Dune Messiah is the subversive (and thankfully short) sequel that Denis Villeneuve plans to tackle next. Now is the perfect time to get informed and get a head start. –Bryn Gelbart

I'm a bit of a sheet snob, so after discovering that crisp white sheets are the secret to making any bed feel like a luxury hotel, I set out to find the most luxurious set. The nearly 250,000 five-star reviews for this one don't lie. They're incredibly comfortable and, at under $50, they're an equally incredible bargain. At this price I can stock up and luxuriate in my Four Seasons bed all winter long. – Nykia Spradley

I can't find this type of Christmas light anywhere in New York City. Everything is LED, dimmable and “smart”. However, my ideal Christmas lights are large, old-fashioned, incandescent ceramic bulbs that get hot to the touch if you leave them on for too long. Here they are, and I'm hoping they're about 20 percent off so I can buy a bunch and hang them all over my house like the crazy lady Winona Ryder plays Stranger Things. —LG

If all socks are the same, there can never be different socks. That's why I only wear Hanes crew socks. They're comfortable and classic, with a design that feels cozy and plush without being so to padded. I wear them with all of my shoes, so I'll stock up on them when they're on sale. — TR

The current situation with surge protectors at the work-from-home station that I share with my partner is…well, she did her best. Back when we thought power strips were the only option. No longer. This surge-protected brick is a behemoth with five outlets, three USB ports, and a USB-C port, so you can charge up to nine devices at once. For $10 I need it in my life. —BG

I write about these t-shirts all the time, but that's because they're actually the only white t-shirts I wear. They last a long time in black, but the white ones wear out so quickly that I keep restocking. Luckily they're back on sale and I'll be buying a new pair or two again. — TR

My elbows seem to act as drainpipes when I wash my face, and despite my best efforts, I get water everywhere. Instead of throwing away my towel like a broke college student (although that's affordable for them too), I'm doing myself and my new bathroom floor a favor with this Plus Waffle Bath Mat. It is available in various sizes from standard to runner and six colors. It absorbs water quickly, so I don't have to worry about stepping on a soggy mat if I do it again at night. —NS
