The advent of department stores was an important one. Among other things, it allowed women to exist in public unaccompanied by a dude. But with mothers everywhere still mourning the loss of greats like Lord & Taylor (or local faves like Strawbridge’s), our nation turns its lonely eyes to Macy’s. Macy’s, ever stalwart, not only still exists, but to borrow today’s parlance, still goes. That said, strolling the aisles (virtually or IRL) can be a total slog. So we did the hard stuff for you.
From furniture to fitness to kitchen and beyond, these are the best home and lifestyle deals at Macy’s right now.
Bitty Boomers Star Wars R2-D2 Bluetooth Toy Speaker, $15
I mean, if the product name Star Wars R2-D2 Bluetooth Toy Speaker doesn’t convince you to buy it, nothing will. But if you really need a little more nudge: Think of all the picnics, porch time, beach days, and leisurely hikes that could be improved by the presence of what I’m declaring legally the world’s cutest and most functional little guy. Available in The Child, too.
Sharper Image Aromatherapy Neck & Shoulder Wrap, $20
There is life before the Sharper Image Aromatherapy Neck & Shoulder Wrap and after it. I’m obsessed with mine, and I didn’t even get one in a fun color that’s also on sale. It’s made with a soothing blend of chamomile, lavender, and more, and when you microwave it? Heaven. It also features a super-soft texture that makes it cozy to cuddle up in, with just enough beads to support your neck. An absolute must-have for anyone with neck and/or shoulder pain. Did I mention it’s currently half off (or more)?
Pyrex 22-Piece Food Storage Set, $51
Tupperware is our mom’s thing. Pyrex is ours. Right? Right? Come on, I can’t be the only one brand-loyal to storage containers. Anyway, you’ll never have to scramble for the right size, shape, and lid again with the Pyrex 22-Piece Food Storage Set created exclusively for Macy’s. With 11 versatile sizes and colorful tops to match, you’ll soon have a fridge sure to make you Tik Tok-famous. Yes, there’s OrganizationTok. I’m a Virgo, okay?

Style goes with everything, and you know what else does? Finding it at a great price. If you don’t believe me, save 25% on the MICHAEL Michael Kors Jet Set Charm Large East West Crossbody and get back to me in a week. Available for just $96 in Rose, Black, and Chambray, this versatile crossbody is sure to become your go-to for days and nights out alike. Whether your bag of choice is in need of some serious organization or you’re simply looking to upgrade your look for the new season, you won’t find a better deal than this one.
T3 Whirl Trio Interchangeable Tapered Styling Wand, $275
Loose waves. Tousled waves. Beachy waves. Instagram-perfect waves that are so glossy, so neat, so precise, you can’t possibly fathom the model’s original hair texture. All these and more are possible with the T3 Whirl Trio Interchangeable Tapered Styling Wand set. The Allure beauty-approved device includes five heat settings for included plates at multiple widths, allowing you to customize your style to suit each day. Dyson, shmyson, is what we say.
BarkBox Labradoodler Dog Toy, $4
It’s not just a BarkBox Labradoodler Dog Toy. It’s a Fetch-a-Sketch. Need I say more? Well, since I’m going to, I’ll just hit the most important details: It’s soft, crinkly, and just the right amount of squeaky. At $4, it will absolutely sell out, so grab this plush toy for your perfect pooch while you can.
Polo Ralph Lauren Men’s Bayport Windbreaker, $111
Let’s face it: He can never have enough brand new, solid color, high quality, versatile jackets that he’ll actually wear. So whether you’re the He or you live with one, grab the Polo Ralph Lauren Men’s Bayport Windbreaker on sale while it lasts. The look is clean, classic, and exclusive to Macy’s. An investment piece at a bargain price that’s simply impossible to argue with. Available in an inoffensive tan and smart navy, because this is a label that knows what it’s doing.
Steve Madden Women’s Travel Rock Stud Flats, $60
So, firstly, I’m going to take issue with the name of this pair. They are clearly sandals, not flats in the traditional sense, and “Rockstud” is definitely known to be a Valentino thing. That said, these Steve Madden Studded Sandals are super cute, lightweight, and break in easily. They’re a stylish (and affordable) way to upgrade any seasonal outfit. And available in two neutral colors!
Serta Luxe Chamblee 12.5" Firm Mattress, $549
The Serta Luxe Chamblee 12.5" Firm Mattress is the rare one that does it all. It offers memory foam for those who like an adaptable, springy surface, but that’s over a layer of over 800 coils for the more traditional support. It’s designed with extra support, so even back sleepers and stomach sleepers will enjoy it. On top of that, the memory foam is infused with cooling technology to prevent you or your partner from warming up too much in the night. But the real chef’s kiss? It’s half off right now. FYI, a box spring and/or foundation are sold separately, but two free pillows are included.
The Cellar 6-Piece Cookware Set, $56
A Macy’s exclusive, the Cellar 6-Piece Cookware Set includes a two quart saucepan (plus coordinating lid), a six quart stockpot (and lid), an 8" frying pan, and a 10" frying pan. That’s more than enough to stock up a new kitchen or upgrade your materials of old. It’s available on sale in a soft gray shade, which matches with pretty much any decor. Oh, and they’re all nonstick. And dishwasher-safe.
