Cue the fireworks: the 13 best early Fourth of July sales we found from Home Depot, REI and more | Shopping

Towel off in comfort with the “spa-like” towels we declared the best value after testing 16 different styles. Jon Chan, a Filter reviewer and textile pro, was impressed by the absorption of their dense Turkish cotton construction, as well their vast variety of colors, from cloud white to striped botanical green. 

Brooklinen offers 20% off sitewide until 5 July, which includes the linen shower curtain we praised in our guide to the best shower curtains and the down comforter we recommended as a wedding gift.

Filter contributor Tobey Grumet Segal swears by her Béis The Tote Set, which includes a soft tote and hardshell carry-on bag. “This one-two punch lets me pack and organize my things inside built-in pouches and zippered pockets in the suitcase, while the roomy tote can hold bulkier gear like shoes, a pair of PJs for overnight flights, my makeup bag and a water bottle,” says Grumet Segal.

Medicube’s viral K-beauty toner pads deserve the hype, says the Filter US commissioning editor, Karen Yuan.
