We all love witnessing an iconic comeback, whether it's Michael Jordan's triumphant 1995 return to basketball or Pamela Anderson's recent rise to celebrated-actress status. But for shopping editors, there's another kind of resurgence that makes us giddy with excitement. I'm talking about Amazon Prime Day, of course, which is officially a go. (Insert confetti emoji here.) The online retail giant announced that its highly anticipated savings extravaganza, Amazon Prime Day 2025, will be twice as long this year, kicking off on Tuesday, July 8 and wrapping up Friday, July 11. That's 96 hours of deals, and according to Amazon, this splashy sale will be chock-full of "deep discounts across more than 35 categories including electronics, kitchen, beauty and apparel." In short, there's a little — or a lot of — something for everyone.
Now, if this will be your first Prime Day rodeo, here are some basics to keep in mind: The majority of the best Prime Day deals are, as the name implies, exclusively for Prime members. That means you'll need an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the steepest markdowns and score the lowest prices. Signing up is easy, and you can even opt for a free 30-day trial before committing to a plan. After that, you'll be charged $14.99 per month, which grants you access to dedicated deals, fast and free shipping, Prime streaming content and more.
Our trusty team of shopping experts will be providing more updates as it gets closer, and in the meantime? If the prospect of scoring fabulous prices on home essentials, tech gear and more excites you, you don't have to wait until next month. We've spied some stellar on-sale gems at Amazon already — after all, the early bird gets the worm...
The best early Prime Day deals
Apple products are so sought after that they don't really need to go on sale, and when they do, it's often because they're older models. This is the latest version of this iPad, which makes the markdown all the more impressive. According to Yahoo Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw, who specializes in all things tech, "It's an ultra-light, thin tablet that's powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you're swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before feel like an old tube TV.
"If you've got a habit of toggling between a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages at once, you're in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you're into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame."
Don't want your new vac to suck a ton of cash from your wallet? This sleek stick's a rare $74 (it's only dipped lower than this once). It boasts strong suction for zapping up everything from dust to pet hair, and provides up to 40 minutes of run time per charge. Plus, its LED lights help you see those darker spaces, and its cyclonic filtration system traps airborne particles as well.

Those floppy headrests you're sleeping on aren't doing your neck any favors, but you can snag this plush, supportive pair for over 75% off. They were designed to be comfy whether you're a stomach, back or side sleeper, and the moisture-wicking material helps prevent things from getting too stuffy on summer nights. Be sure to apply the on-page code for the full discount (close to a record low).
This might be the coolest (pun intended) gadget I've seen all year. No, misting devices are nothing new, but this one does triple duty as a pedestal and tabletop fan. It can be used indoors or outside, has up to an impressive 70-foot reach and can lower temps by as much as 12°. There are five speeds and two breeze modes to choose from, oscillating and tilting options ... in short, if you're looking to cool down this summer, you can't go wrong. Did I mention it just dipped to an all-time low price to boot?

Why not swap the painful (and tedious) string floss for this oral-hygiene hero, which gently yet effectively uses a stream of water to dislodge anything trapped between your teeth. It was designed to be compact enough to travel with (it's cordless!), and this is as low as I've seen it since October. Plus, it includes four tips so the whole family can use it.
This is the very hand vac I use at home, and let me tell you — it's so much more powerful than its lightweight feel would imply. Is it bulkier than some of the other hand vacuums out there? Yes, but that's to be expected, given its industrial-strength performance. That said, it's portable enough to bring from room to room without it feeling like a workout, and that's all I can ask for. Well, that and an incredible price — and this one is a record low. Bonus: You don't have to purchase the battery and charger separately.

Your morning hair routine is about to get a lot easier, thanks to this multitasking tool. It dries and styles all at the same time, meaning you won't have to juggle a brush in one hand and a blow dryer in the other; use it to give yourself a sleek, smooth blowout or wavy curls. At just $40 (70% off), it's far more affordable than the Dyson Airwrap.
Never fight with your family members over power outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor (and there's no way you'll trip over it).
No, it's not a massive discount, but this top-seller is within a buck of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).
If a smaller screen suits your needs, you won't do much better than this highly affordable No. 1 bestseller. It's equipped with Alexa voice control and is compatible with Apple AirPlay, meaning you can pair it with your Apple device to broadcast photos and videos on the screen. Plus, at a mere $70, it's down to its best price of 2025 — and my price trackers tell me it's never been on sale for less.

In case you're not familiar with the "rich mom" trend that's currently sweeping the style world, here's how I'd sum it up: dressing like one has money without being flashy about it. That means a wardrobe filled with simple-yet-chic staples like this crisp striped number that looks put together in the easiest, breeziest way. Layer it over a tank on cooler summer nights or tuck it into some trousers for the office. The blue-and-white striped version is particularly timeless, and a steal at nearly 50% off (within $2 of its all-time low).
Thousands of Amazon shoppers love these sturdy containers, which have airtight seals to keep food fresh. In case you, like many people these days, have been meaning to reduce the amount of plastic in your kitchen, these tubs are made of glass — but not just any glass. I'm talking about borosilicate glass, which is used on thermal tiles in space shuttles.
Not only does it conveniently allow you to see what's packed inside, it's oven-safe up to 1,040°F. You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won't get to right away. At less than $3 per container, this is a fabulous value, even if the starting price is a bit inflated.

The days of stuffing things into your suitcase until it's ready to burst are over, thanks to these clever containers. They'll keep your clothes from becoming a chaotic mess, since you'll be able to dedicate one to pants, one to shirts and so on, and they'll also save space by compressing your belongings into smaller packs.
Included are four cubes in varying sizes, along with a bag each for cosmetics, shoes and socks and a drawstring bag for miscellaneous items — all for the lowest price to date at 42% off.

It's shaping up to be a scorcher of a season in many parts of the country, and if you're in the market for a chill new appliance, thousands of shoppers swear by this No. 1 bestselling model. Equipped with wheels, it's easy to move from room to room and can cool spaces of up to 450 square feet (there are also smaller and larger options to choose from). Oh, and this the lowest it's been on sale for all year.
You'll never go wrong with the classic look of Hanes, and Yahoo readers and Amazon shoppers alike can't get enough of these supremely comfortable shorts. They're made of a soft cotton-blend material, have an adjustable drawstring waist and, very conveniently, pockets. Reviewers of all ages have been singing their praises, and they've rarely dipped lower than this all year.
When it's too hot to turn on the oven, it's this compact countertop cooker to the rescue. With one-touch settings for fish, chicken, meat and fries, it'll have a meal on the table in minutes, and with little to no oil. Plus, it's less than a foot wide, so it won't take up much space. This over-40% markdown is the best I've seen, and there's also a model with a viewing window on sale for just $5 more.
