Good news: you don’t have to wait (or risk things selling out) to save some serious moolah.

I'm a deputy editorial director on the BuzzFeed Shopping team (I've been a shopping editor so long, I remember when Prime Day was just one day), who has spent the better part of a decade finding, vetting, and writing about products (and deals!), from no-nonsense toilet cleaners to the best mascaras to genius ideas that'll win your next gift exchange.

To see our coverage of all the best Fall Prime Day deals, come back to BuzzFeed Shopping on October 6th and 7th.

Promising review: "This is SO soft! As someone who loves her Minky Couture blanket — I was shocked by how much I love this and this is just a fraction of the price. Looks great as a throw blanket on our couch. The tie dye is very subtle and adds dimension to our space. We tumble dried it on low and it fluffed it up really quick! Hasn’t shed so far and it’s been multiple days. Perfect for a cozy movie night :) —Aubrey H

Promising review: "LOVE this cup! It’s a very pretty baby pink color. It’s 40 ounces, so the volume is spacious; it holds the water hot and cold for hours. Great value for money.  I will actually repurchase it! It’s leakproof on the sides, but the water obviously leaks from the straw; everywhere else is good. Even if you drop the cup the liquids don’t spill! I love the straw because it’s elastic, so when you drive, you can peacefully drink without worrying about stabbing yourself with a traditional plastic straw. Also, it detaches so you can completely clean the cup in all the areas without mold collecting. Lid is very functional, will definitely repurchase." —MG

Price: $19.97+ (originally $39.95; available in 28 colors)

Promising review: "This has been the perfect tablet for my kids! I love that there are so many educational games, books, and learning activities included, so they can have fun while learning. My favorite feature is the parental controls through the app. They’re easy to set up, and I feel like I still have a lot of control over what my kids can access, how long they’re on the tablet, and what they’re doing. That peace of mind makes a huge difference. It’s been a great purchase for our family, and I’d definitely recommend it to other parents looking for a kid-friendly tablet." —Kasey

Promising review: "It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and gives my skin the perfect dewy finish without clogging my pores. I love how it feels like I’m wearing nothing at all, yet I know my skin is fully protected. Plus, it wears beautifully under makeup, which is a huge bonus! If you’re looking for an SPF that combines effectiveness with a skin-loving formula, I highly recommend giving Naked Sunday a try. It’s become a must-have in my skincare lineup!" —Martha Benitez

Naked Sundays Tinted BeautyScreen sunscreen is also 25% off!

Promising review: "Paid $1,800 for a new oven. I have used it two times now, because I cook everything in this air fryer, and I mean everything. I even make barbecue ribs in it. Best ribs I ever had! This air fryer is a game changer. You will not be sorry if you get it. If and when this one breaks, I'll be buying another one. That's how much I love it." —annie

Promising review: "This is the third waver I've bought in the past six months or so. The first one did a nice job on my hair, but I felt like it was damaging — I could see frizz that isn't usually there. The second one left my hair looking crimped, like I'd stepped out of the eighties. Thankfully, I found this one! It leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy, with just the perfect amount of wave! I thought I'd gotten it right with this one, but it was confirmed when the very first time I used it, not one, but two other women asked me if my hair just naturally makes these perfect waves--I wish! When I told them I'd used a waver, they wanted to know EXACTLY which one, and I had to look it up on Amazon — they both wrote it down. I can get looser waves by holding my hair in the waver for less time and more defined waves by keeping it in a few seconds longer. Either way, the waves will stay until I wash or wet my hair again. I'm really happy with this purchase." —LylaStylus

Promising review: "These AirTags are super easy to set up and work great with the Find My app. I love having the 4-pack because I can use them for my keys, luggage, bags, and other important items. The location tracking is accurate, and the Precision Finding feature makes it much easier to locate something when it’s nearby. Definitely worth having, especially for traveling or if you’re someone who tends to misplace things. I would absolutely recommend them!" —diana roman

This set includes a 1.5-quart saucepan with lid, 3-quart saucepan with lid, 3.5-quart sauté pan with helper handle and lid, 8-quart stockpot with lid, 8" skillet, 10" skillet, and 20cm steamer insert with lid.

Promising review: "I bought this set along with a few additional pieces back in 2009. This set has held up wonderfully. I cook a lot, a whole lot! I’ve cooked countless meals for my family (including two hungry boy teens, husband, friends and family) with this cookware. It performs fantastic! Food does not stick and it’s easy to clean. It holds temperature perfectly. When my college-age son, who is in grad school wanted a good set of pots and pans this year for Christmas, I was amazed this was still available! The exact same set was for sale in 2025. He was excited to get such a great set! I feel it will truly last him a lifetime. These pots have been thrown into the cabinet and not pampered. No dents. No defects. Still work perfectly after all these years. My daughter-in-law cleaned them up really nice (bottoms of all pans get discolored over time). They looked like brand new. Light scratches inside from years of cooking but that doesn’t affect the performance. I don’t baby my pans. They are workhorses in my kitchen. I will probably be gifting another set to my other son next year. Great job Cuisinart! 10/10 A+++" —ShellH

Promising review: "This is a fantastic machine!! It was so easy to clean. Unbelievably easy. Everything comes apart. Everything. I was able to get the dirty water tank clean, the rollers, the front suction thingy. My old machine was trash, I couldn't clean anything without using skewer sticks and forget trying to clean the rollers! I am so glad I read all the reviews and asked Alexa for comparisons. Also, I was able to do one room with one tank of water! Usually, I had to refill like four times. The machine is definitely smaller than the one I had before (not same brand). I was skeptical of the water tank, but it held more than I thought!" —Stephanie Quezada

Promising review: "🤩 Wow, this is the vacuum I’ve been looking for my whole life! Seriously, this one actually works great and could easily beat out a Dyson any day! I’ve purchased three Sharks, but this one beats all of them." —Vincent

Price: $199 (originally $329.99) — and see all Shark deals here

Promising review: "I never thought I’d actually enjoy flossing — but this Waterpik Cordless 1100 my fav 🙌🏼 It’s compact, super easy to use, and surprisingly powerful for a cordless flosser. My gums feel so much healthier, and it really gets into those tricky spots my toothbrush can’t reach. As someone who wears a retainer, this has been a lifesaver for keeping everything clean without the hassle of threading floss. I also love how it’s waterproof — yes, I use it right in the shower. Battery life is solid, and the sleek white design looks great on my bathroom shelf. If you’re looking for a convenient, effective way to level up your oral hygiene (especially for travel or braces), this is it. 👏🏼" —Ekaterina S

Promising review: "We put these fire sticks on all of our smart TVs. We were tired of the slowness of our smart TVs response invoking the various streaming apps. These things work great, and the response is instantaneous! I highly recommend using them instead of putting up with slow smart TVs. Plus, the remotes are consistent now for all of our TV’s and easy to use compared to the old smart TVs remotes." —Jeff W

Promising review: "I fricken LOVE these!!! This is my fifth time buying them. I feel like I don’t have to conserve them and can use them freely because you get so many for such a great price (the Mighty Patches are $13 for 36). Plus, they work!! They stick to your face, and they actually suck the goop out of your pimples. They’re also clear, so they’re more inconspicuous than patches like Starface. Once they start to turn white from sucking the stuff out of your skin, they do become a bit more noticeable!" —Gracie Greco

Price: $9.94 (typically $19.95; also available in a pack of 78) — and see all Le Gushe deals here. 

You get a set of two brushes, two charging bases, and two travel cases. 

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean electric toothbrush and I’m really impressed with the results. My teeth feel much cleaner and smoother after every use compared to a manual toothbrush. It has a very comfortable brushing experience with gentle but effective vibrations, so it doesn’t feel harsh on gums. I also like the different brushing modes, especially the sensitive and whitening options. The battery lasts a long time, and the charging glass/travel case is actually very convenient and looks nice on the counter. The only downside is that replacement brush heads are a bit expensive, but overall the performance makes it worth it." —Daria Kliushnyk

It comes with the blender base and three cups with lids. The cups, lids, and blade assembly are all top-rack dishwasher safe! 

Promising review: "This is my first personal blender. I am extremely pleased by it! It is super easy to clean. It is super fast and does a very fine cut. You barely push down for it to activate, and it is not super loud. No buttons!! Super easy to clean if you spill anywhere! Takes up barely more space on the counter than a comparable typical coffee cup. I highly recommend it if you want fast and easy blending and don't care about all the customizable options of dicing and things. If you want it to not blend as fine, just pay attention and stop blending really fast because it is FAST! Like in 10 seconds, I have a liquefied smoothie." —Sel

Promising review: "The quality of this knife for the price is truly incredible. I've used professional-grade chef's knives from well-known brands like Calphalon, and this one holds its own. The craftsmanship is so close to these prestigious brands that you'd be hard-pressed to spot the difference. My first impression is that this knife is an absolute steal, though I'm curious to see how it holds up over the long term. It has a satisfying weight of over 200g, providing excellent balance and control. The beautiful blade is incredibly sharp, making kitchen tasks — like slicing through meat — feel effortless. The handle is remarkably comfortable and feels sturdy. For its performance, feel, and aesthetics, this knife is a perfect 10/10." —JhonSnow777

My former BuzzFeed colleague Heather Braga loves these: I cannot even begin to tell you just how many toddler cups I've tried out for my son before settling on these. They really don't leak, he can't open/close it for fun like he does with flip-top cups, and he has no issue using the straw (I think because it's thicker than most!). I personally like that they come in a bunch of fun styles. My favorite feature, however, is that I can toss it into the dishwasher for easy cleaning!

Promising review: "They don't leak or volcano everywhere! It's taken so long and so many different straw cups, but we finally found ones that don't make a huge mess, even when our son is trying to make a mess!" —A. Smith

Two of my former BuzzFeed Shopping colleagues love their TonieBoxes:

Mallory Mower: "My daughter is nearly three and her favorite part is organizing and playing with all the little characters. Our entire family loves the Animal World collection – the theme song is a constant hum in our house."

Heather Braga: "This toy has bought me so much time. My kids adore theirs — even though they're only 4 and 2 — they have no problem understanding how to turn the Toniebox on, change the volume, and place different characters on top to tell various stories. He's a big fan, as am I! It can also be used while it's charging, so there's no need to worry about your toddler having a meltdown if they want to play with it while the battery is drained (phew)."

And you can start to build your collection of Tonies based on your kiddo's interests — check 'em out.

Price: $69.99 (originally $99.99; available in pink or red)

Promising review: "I got this for my school social work office, and it's been a hit from day one. Kids are always reaching for it when they come in, and it's popular with my K-1 students as well as coworkers! It's a fun way to keep hands busy while we talk, and I've noticed it helps some students relax and settle in. It's simple, well made, and has held up really well with lots of use. The key- it is easy to clean! This has definitely become one of the favorite fidgets in my office. If you work with kids or just want a fun sensory activity, I'd definitely recommend it." —kwb

Promising review: "Absolutely love this hoodie. It’s incredibly soft, cozy, and comfortable while still looking stylish and put together. The fit is relaxed without being sloppy, making it perfect for workouts, errands, travel days, or just lounging around. The color is gorgeous in person and gives it such an elevated look compared to basic sweatshirts. The fleece lining is warm and cozy without feeling too heavy, and the quality feels much better than expected for the price. I’ve already reached for this constantly because it pairs so easily with leggings, jeans, joggers, or layered over workout clothes. It has that effortless oversized athleisure vibe that’s both comfy and cute. True to size for an oversized fit and definitely one of those pieces you’ll want in multiple colors." —Dr Manetta

Price: $19.99+ (typically $39.99+; available in women's sizes S–XL and 24 colors) — and shop all the Automet deals here

Promising review: "I have trusted Anker products for years and this purchase was no exception. The charger is compact, and charges fairly quickly—even while charging an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously. The MagSafe feature is very convenient and also makes it easy to position your phone in a way to easily see it if you use your phone for an alarm. But the small footprint and reliable charging are its best features (for me). Have tried many other multi-charging stations and this has been the best one so far." —William G.

Price: $67.49 (originally $89.99; available in two colors)
