You can score savings before the sale even starts.
While we try to limit the time we spend staring at our phone screens and scrolling through feeds or pages and pages of products, sometimes we just can’t help but fall down an Amazon rabbit hole. Whether you start out looking for a simple kitchen gadget like a new blender, want to upgrade your tech, or need a gift for a loved one, it’s incredibly easy to endlessly peruse the site for your next favorite purchase. There’s one time of year when this is completely acceptable, if not highly encouraged: Amazon Prime Day.
The mega sale event was practically invented for the people who find joy in waiting to buy an item until it’s at its lowest possible price. This year, the event will run from July 16 to 17, so you still have some time to shop. Thousands of products, from fashion finds to home décor, are discounted, giving you plenty of opportunities to check items off your shopping list without blowing your budget.
Prime Day shopping could be considered a sedentary sport (we have broken a sweat while scrolling), and you should go into it with a few pro tricks to win the game. If you aren’t already, make sure you’re a Prime member so you can participate in all the savings. Know that popular items like Amazon Fire Sticks, name-brand makeup, and big-ticket kitchen appliances tend to sell out quickly, so you may not have the entirety of the Prime event to pick out what you want. If you’ve got a list, make sure the things you want are in your cart, and check out quickly to avoid things going out of stock.
Not sure where to start? We’ve compiled a list of the best products currently on sale to inspire you.

EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen
Amazon
$45 (24% off)
SPF is an extremely important part of a morning skincare routine, and our editors can’t get enough of this tinted one from EltaMD. Not only does it offer superior sun protection, but the subtle tint evens out skin tone and never looks cakey or unnatural.
NuFACE Trinity Microcurrent Facial Device
Amazon
$350 (30% off)
Sure, you can book a microcurrent facial at a clinic, or you can pay the equivalent of one session price for a tool that allows you to do it yourself whenever you want. This handheld device uses low-level electrical currents, which stimulate the muscles in your face and neck to help them appear more tightened, toned, and lifted. Even though it looks like some kind of space-age gadget, it feels like giving yourself a facial massage.
Therabody TheraGun Mini
Amazon
$199 (25% off)
Aches and pain can strike at any moment, which is why this mini massage gun is a lifesaver. Several of our editors have TheraGuns and use them to soothe cranky neck muscles, sore hamstrings, or tense back knots, and they’re offered almost instant relief. Because of its mini size, this device is easy to pop into a carry-on suitcase or backpack, so you can give yourself the gift of a massage even when you’re on the go.
Shark AI Ultra Voice Control Vacuum
Amazon
$599 (51% off)
Robot vacuums are great, until you have to actually clean them. Opting for a self-cleaning unit not only spares you the mess, but it also gives you peace of mind that your vacuum can run efficiently while you’re out of the house if you set it on a schedule. With 60 days of capacity, you’ll only have to empty the holding tank once every two months, compared to after every cleaning with other models.
Joydays Cookies
Amazon
$15 (20% off with coupon)
What if you could enjoy cookies without having to worry about a huge blood sugar spike afterward? These chewy creations from Joydays are high in fiber, low in sugar, and have a little bit of protein in them to ensure you don’t have a sugar crash after enjoying a couple. The cookies come in chocolate chip, double chocolate, and peanut butter flavors, but we recommend snagging a variety pack so you can try them all.
Keurig K-Express Coffee Maker
Amazon
$90 (44% off)
Traditional coffee makers take up a ton of counter space, but this slim beauty has a small footprint to save you precious real estate. It works the same way a traditional Keurig does, and it can make three different cup sizes of beverage for you depending on your thirst level.
HandFan Personal Misting Fan
Amazon
$20 (18% off)
While we used to laugh about people carrying personal-sized fans around to beat the heat, now we envy them. If you want one for yourself, this one will not only blow cool air your way, but it has a built-in mister to deliver extra relief from the hot temps outside. It’s rechargeable via USB, too, so there’s no need to buy batteries.
Dyson V15 Detect Plus Cordless Vacuum
Amazon
$750 (27% off)
It’s rare to find the latest model of the Dyson cordless vacuum on sale, so you better jump on this deal while you still can. Currently, the V15 model is $180 off, and it comes with five different attachments to ensure you can banish dust and dirt from every nook and cranny in your home.
KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Stand Mixer
Amazon
$450 (22% off)
This stand mixer is a favorite of celebrities, professional chefs, and home bakers, and for good reason: Not only is it powerful enough to knead thick doughs and whip up meringues in a flash, but it will also last you a lifetime. It’s currently marked down $100, which is the best deal we’ve seen in a long time.
GrandeLASH-MD Lash Serum
Amazon
$68 (30% off)
Lash thickness and length naturally decreases as you age (fun, right?), but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring back some fullness. This serum by GrandeLASH can be used on both your lashes and eyebrows to enhance the look of both, making them appear thicker and longer. It has nearly 35,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, and several reviewers say they’ve stopped getting lash extensions entirely because the serum made their natural lashes look just as long and full. This formula will be 30 percent off for Prime Day, so add it to your cart now to ensure you get the deal on July 16.
Banila CO Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm
Amazon
$25 (30% off)
Removing sunscreen and makeup at the end of a long day is a must for happy skin, but getting everything off can be a challenge — especially if you use waterproof products. Instead of scrubbing and pulling at your skin and lashes, try using a gentle cleansing balm like this instead. It transforms from a solid balm to an oil consistency, melting away stubborn products like waterproof mascara with minimal effort. This specific formulation even helps protect and firm skin, so you’re getting more than just makeup removal out of it.
Tineco iFLOOR 3 Breeze Complete Wet Dry Vacuum
Amazon
$280 (36% off)
Why split vacuuming and mopping into separate tasks when you could do them both at once? Tineco’s time-saving floor washer saves you time and effort thanks to the fact that it can do both effortlessly. A spinning microfiber bar (similar to a vacuum beater bar, but gentler and able to get wet) cleans hard floors with fresh water from the attached tank while simultaneously sucking up spills and dirty water, leaving your floors clean, streak-free, and dry.
Eddie Bauer Rainier Shorts
Amazon
$60 (43% off)
Eddie Bauer created America’s first down jacket, and nearly 100 years later, the brand is still making clothing and gear for the outdoors that’s built to stand the test of time. Jackets, shirts, and pants from the brand will be up to 50 percent off for Prime Day, including this pair of versatile shorts that can easily be worn while hiking or running errands.
Netvue Birdfy AI Smart Bird Feeder
Amazon
$250 (20% off)
Amateur bird watchers will appreciate this gadget: It’s a bird feeder with a built-in camera that allows them to watch the variety of flyers that land on the device in real time. The camera stays charged via an included solar panel, and the feeder itself is way more chic than typical plastic options.
Mellanni Sheets
Amazon
$51 (36% off)
It’s a rarity to find sheets that cost less than $100 these days, but sheets under $50? Even more difficult. These ones from Mellanni are a Wake-Up Call reader favorite, both because of the affordable price and the soft texture.
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Exfoliant
Amazon
$35 (20% off)
Those struggling with enlarged-looking pores know how hard it is to banish blackheads and smooth skin, but having a great exfoliant can help. This one from Paula’s Choice has blown up on TikTok, mainly because it’s helped so many with their skin concerns. The 2 percent beta hydroxy acid in the formula helps unclog pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, and smooth skin texture, minimizing the appearance of pores and helping with the appearance of acne. Just be sure to start off slow — everyone’s skin reacts differently to different types of exfoliants.
Beats Studio Pro Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones
Amazon
$349 (51% off)
Crying babies on airplanes are unavoidable, but that doesn’t mean you have to listen to them. Bask in the glorious sound of silence (or your favorite podcast) after turning on the noise-canceling magic of these headphones. Not only will they drown out the sounds of loud conversations or airplane engines, but they’ll deliver your audio in the highest quality.
Crocs Clogs
Amazon

Carry-On Backpack
Amazon
$40 (8% off)
Flying budget airlines is amazing for your wallet — until you realize you have to pay to bring a carry-on. Instead of paying for the additional fee, make your personal item your carry-on instead. This backpack can hold just as much as your average roller, but it’ll fit under your seat. Plus, it’s compressible, has a laptop compartment for easy access (and quick removal in the security line), and has a built-in USB port to keep all your devices juiced up.
Apple AirPods Pro (Second Generation)
Amazon
$249 (32% off)

Vacation Super Spritz SPF 50 Face Mist
Amazon
$25 (25% off)

Amazon
$31 (39% off)
Just because it’s hot outside doesn’t mean you can’t get cozy inside. If you’ve got the AC blasting, snuggle up on the couch with this incredibly soft faux fur blanket. Not only will it feel silky smooth against your skin, but it’ll also keep you warm while you watch your favorite movie or curl up with a beach read.
