Amazon’s October Prime Day, known as Prime Big Deal Days, has returned with millions of discounts. Instead of spending hours browsing, let me help you out. As Mytour’s shopping editor, I’ve mastered the art of navigating these massive sales, and I’m here to share my top recommendations and personal picks for this year.

Prime Big Deal Days is now live, and before it concludes tonight at midnight PT, you’ll find incredible discounts across all categories. This is the perfect opportunity to kickstart your holiday shopping, prepare for the fall season, stock up on necessities, and indulge in a few treats. I’m taking advantage of these deals, some starting as low as $10, to do just that.

Bissell Little Green Carpet Upholstery Cleaner

Vacuums and cleaning devices, such as the Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner, are consistently among the most sought-after items during Prime Day. This multifunctional machine has been a standout this year, amassing 65,000 five-star reviews. My coworkers can’t stop praising this handy tool, and I’m eager to use it to give my sofa a thorough refresh. 

Qinlianf Outlet Extender Surge Protector

Electronics and tech gadgets are another hot category, and you don’t need to spend a fortune to take advantage of these deals. A perfect example is this outlet extender, now just $10. It features five outlets, three USB ports, and one USB-C port, along with an indicator light to alert you when surge protection is no longer active. I plan to place several of these around my house for added convenience. 

Aquaphor Advanced Therapy Healing Ointment

Now is the perfect opportunity to restock your beauty essentials. For me, that means grabbing my go-to multi-purpose moisturizer: Aquaphor’s Advanced Therapy Healing Ointment. It’s unbeatable for repairing and preventing chapped lips during the colder months. I also use it generously on dry cuticles, hands, and feet, and even apply it to minor cuts to accelerate healing. 

L’Oréal Paris Lash Paradise Mascara

I’m also stocking up on another tube of my go-to mascara, which has garnered 56,000 five-star reviews and countless compliments over the seven years I’ve used it. If you’re looking for dark, voluminous, and lengthy lashes, this long-wearing mascara never disappoints. 

Trecaan Wall Mounted Fruit Basket Set

If you’re like me and always on the lookout for home storage and organization solutions, you’re in for a treat. There’s a wide range of practical items on sale, including these adaptable baskets. I plan to hang these containers on my kitchen wall to organize fruits and vegetables, freeing up valuable counter space.  

Esobo Open Front Knit Cardigan

As cozy season arrives, I’m excited to layer up with warm clothing. Amazon’s fashion deals include jackets, coats, scarves, and sweaters, like this stylish cardigan. With its gold buttons, cropped design, and small pockets, it looks like a chic jacket but feels like a soft knit sweater. It’s the ideal piece to wear when I need an extra layer at the office. 

Hanycony Extension Cord Surge Protector Power Strip

This major sale is also the perfect chance to save on practical items that simplify daily life. I’ve been delaying buying extension cords, but I’m seizing this opportunity to grab a few of these versatile finds. It doubles as a surge protector, allowing me to safely power multiple devices simultaneously. 

Swiffer PowerMop Mop Kit

Cleaning tools like mops, brooms, and dusters are also discounted during Prime Big Deal Days, including Swiffer’s PowerMop, which outperforms its earlier models. I had the chance to test it shortly after its 2023 launch and can confirm its effectiveness. Its sleek, flat design lets you clean under furniture, and it can be stored upright. The scrubbing strips effectively capture hair, dust, and debris.

Veken Airtight Stainless Steel Coffee Canister

Attention coffee enthusiasts! You’ll love this airtight stainless steel canister, crafted to preserve the freshness of your coffee beans. It also features a built-in date tracker, making it easier to monitor the freshness of your supply.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream

I’m stocking up on another tube of my go-to facial moisturizer, which rarely goes on sale. During a recent facial, my aesthetician complimented how hydrated and healthy my skin looked, and I owe it all to this rich, healing cream that has completely transformed my complexion.

Zevo Flying Insect Trap

Surprisingly, this $15 device actually works. I placed one in my kitchen to catch annoying fruit flies, and within hours, it was already filled with them. I’m planning to buy a few more while they’re on sale to place around my home.
