Amazon’s October Prime Day ends tonight, and after more than 30 hours of scrolling, our team knows exactly which deals are worth shopping before it’s too late. Below are the most worth it — whether they’re all-time-low prices, rare deals that (likely) won’t be seen again until Black Friday or next year’s Prime Day, or best sellers among our readers. And some are just great deals on things our writers personally love.
Below, you’ll find our final — and best — collection of the 31 things most worth your consideration this Prime Day in our opinion. Deals end tonight at 2:59 a.m. ET.

Our senior writer Liza Corsillo loves the Comotomo cup because it grows with your child. It’s essentially three cups in one: a sippy cup, a straw cup, and an open cup. The cheapest it ever gets is $20.

Vacuums have been a major hit among Strategist readers all October Prime Day. One of the most popular deals, per usual, is Bissell’s extra-little carpet and upholstery cleaner. We’ve sung our praises for the larger version (also on sale but for a lesser discount) time and again, but this one is great for smaller spaces and a better discount at 21 percent off.

And Emma’s personal favorite deal: these Graf Lantz coasters, which she tells everyone to buy. “They are both the most attractive and most absorbent on the market,” she says, and they’re almost never on sale — especially not for almost 40 percent off. Get a set for yourself and one as a host gift.
