Including some sales you can shop now.

Try as we might to shop small, or not shop at all, the amount of time we spend scrolling through Amazon might match our time spent scrolling social media. (In fact, it’s possible we’ve surpassed the latter at this point.) While we over-shop on Amazon year-round (anyone need a tongue scraper?), we love an excuse to indulge in our Amazon fixation. Most of the time, we’re buying basic everyday needs like toilet paper or hair ties, with the occasional investment in pricier purchases like electronics, furniture, or even mattresses. But there’s no telling what we’ll purchase when there’s a sale, and Amazon Prime Day is right around the corner, so it’s time to start prepping.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

If you haven’t shopped Prime Day before, Amazon holds the annual event to give Prime members exclusive discounts on thousands of items, from electronics to makeup to clothing to home decor. You can find in-house Amazon products, like the Kindle or Alexa, extremely marked down, but you can also shop discounts on name-brand items for robot vacuums, beauty products, and more that aren’t available any other days of the year.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?

Amazon began Prime Day in 2015, and since then, it has normally taken place around mid-July. However, in 2020 and 2021, the deal day was moved due to shipping delays caused by COVID and supply chain issues. Last year, Prime Day took place on July 11 and 12, 2023. We just learned that the event will run from July 16 to July 17 this year.

How long does Amazon Prime Day last?

Good question! Prime Day is no longer a one-day event; it usually lasts 48 hours.

Will there be alternative Prime Day sales?

Yes! You can usually expect retailers like Wayfair and Walmart to release competitive deals around the same time as Amazon.

Marycele Candle Warming Lamp

Amazon

$46 (38% off)

We’re all guilty of forgetting to blow a candle out at the end of the night, but collective flakiness doesn’t make the act any less dangerous.

The heat from the lightbulb slowly melts the wax beneath it, creating an even distribution of scent and a safer way to enjoy your favorite flames.

Revlon One Step Volumizer

Amazon

$70 (56% off)

There’s nothing quite like a fresh blowout, but it’s not realistic (or affordable) to go to the salon every few days to get one.

If you don’t want to take our word for it, our Revlon One Step Volumizer review should do the trick.

Plus, when you put this thing on the dock, it cleans itself at the push of a button. All you have to do is empty the dirty tank and get ready for your next cleaning adventure.
