Prime Day is here, and we’re updating this story hourly. To find the best deals in every category, follow all of our Prime Day coverage

I’ve already spent many hours this week digging through thousands of items on sale for Prime Day. There’s a bevy of products worth your while, all of which I’ve been rounding up in my megalist of the best Prime Day deals. There are over 200 of them. But here, I’ve gathered the two dozen or so I think are truly the best of the best, whether because they’re at their lowest price ever, are rarely on sale, or are just excellent products that I (or my fellow Strategist staffers) highly recommend.

You’ve still got several days to shop the sale before it ends on Saturday, July 12, at 2:59 a.m. ET. If nothing here catches your eye, I have plenty more where this came from in my hub ’o deals, and I’ll continue adding to both lists as the sale goes on. To stay in the know about all the best sales, Prime Day or otherwise, sign up for our Strategist Sales Alert newsletter.

The best lipstick is back on sale for 30 percent off — just about the best deal we ever see on it. (This is the rare situation where the listed price on Amazon is less than it should be.)

Our No. 1 conditioner is at one of the best prices I’ve ever seen — 30 percent off, making it just $15. We likely won’t see a discount this low until October Prime Day.

Thirty percent off is a respectable discount on these adjustable earplugs from one of our favorite brands. You can switch between three modes: Quiet, Experience, and Engage.

From
$6

The discounts range on this little gray camisole from Gap, but all are at least half off — and $6 on almost any item of clothing is a great deal in 2025.

Always worth mentioning an inexpensive cotton tee. This one from Madewell is just $13.

From
$29

Some nice jorts from Levi’s are over half off, which is really the sweet spot for the brand’s Prime Day deals.

I don’t see these summery sandals on sale too often — and I was surprised the discount included so many colors!

Basic and highly useful: Hanes classic crew socks (also available in black).

Same goes for these organic-cotton tees for tots, which are now just over $5.50 a pop.

There are still nearly six months left in the year, and $19 is a steal on the planner three Strategist staffers swear by.

I track vacuum sales all year long, and I’ve never seen this Black+Decker vacuum for more than 20 percent off. Forty percent off is unheard of!

Some statusy candles are on sale for once, including our best-overall pick. It burns evenly; smells of sandalwood and cedar layered with vetiver, cinnamon, and nutmeg; and has a strong throw.

Yamazaki Home’s minimalist décor hardly ever goes over 15 percent off. So if you’re in the market for a space-saving bathroom (or kitchen) storage cart, now’s the time to buy.

If you’d like something more budget friendly, this Tempur-Pedic pillow is also Strategist approved.

Thermacell’s mosquito-repelling orb (which writer Kat Gillespie says actually works) is at the best discount I’ve seen — almost 50 percent off for the five-and-a-half-hour version.

The brand just released this even teenier version that’s just $70 now. Very compelling!

These are just 50 cents more than their lowest price ever, which is basically the same thing.

These AirPods are also likely the cheapest they’ll be until October Prime Day or Black Friday.

Prime Day is the time to buy a Kindle because they really don’t go on sale much the rest of the year.

Amazon’s own smart plug has been a best seller with Strategist readers every Prime (and October Prime) Day since 2023. Right now, it’s $13 — that’s 48 percent off — which is the cheapest it ever gets.
