Cadbury Chocolate Wispa Bar
Described by our English friends as 'a British classic', the Wispa bar was a unique buy that many seemed to snap up. Similar to an Aero chocolate bar, Amazon is selling the Wispa Bar for $2.20 each. If you can't fly to the UK to try this treat, then this appears to be the next best option.
Panasonic Wireless Noise-Cancelling Earbuds, White
Purchased, likely, because of their great price, many snapped up these Panasonic Wireless Noise-Cancelling Earbuds for 28 per cent off.

Lenovo Slim 3 Chromebook
Hybrid working is still extremely common, and with kids' assignments almost all digital, having a laptop in your home is no longer a want, but a need. But laptops are often an extremely expensive investment and one that many can't afford right now. So when there is an impressive discount, you can't miss out.
Selling in the EOFY sales for 41 per cent off, this became a top seller. Weighing 1.4kg, this laptop is portable and easy to use with its 14-inch screen, up to 10 hours of battery life and 180-degree hinge to use at any angle comfortable for you. It's also built with two USB-C ports, a USB-A port and an audio jack.

Speaking of laptops, you need to keep them safe when taking them on the go, which is why the Inateck Laptop Backpack is a big hit. Able to carry a 17-inch laptop, it has a 40L capacity and a two-layer design – one for your laptop and the other for your everyday essentials. It also has a splash-proof exterior and if travelling, you can also use this backpack as carry-on luggage.
GeeRic Disposable Shower Drain Hair Catcher, 30-pack
Another cleaning hack selling was these drain catchers. These 12.7cm plastic stickers catch any loose strands of hair from clogging your drains. They can stick on tiles, plastic, and metal and can last for up to two to three weeks without needing replacing.
MyGenie X5 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
If you looked at this stick vacuum and thought of a Dyson, then you're not the only one. The MyGenie X5 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner resembles the fan favourite Dyson, but is selling for hundreds of dollars cheaper – making it a more realistic and guilt-free purchase.
