This year has felt nothing like normal for countless reasons. But one thing is always reliable: Amazon Prime Day events. Several times a year, Amazon consistently shows up with some staple discounts that weve come to rely on.
Maybe theres some methodology to the classic Prime Day discounts, or maybe its just throwing darts at a board, but we all save regardless.
And as a Prime Day veteran, I can assure you the 2025 October Prime Day deals are wild, and in a good way. Amazon clearly understood that we could all use something nice while dealing with life these days. October Prime Day has record-low prices on portable power stations, Ninja appliances, Kindles, TVs, outdoor gear, and even Lego Advent calendars. Mashable is busy tracking all the latest drops live, of course. But if youre in the mood to shop some tried and true deals, here are some staples that tend to show up for each and every Prime Day sale.
Initially marked down to $67.99, Amazon went even lower, and you can now pick up a 4-pack of Apple AirTags for just $64.99. Whether you use these Bluetooth trackers to keep track of your personal belongings or your toddler, its time to restock.
My teeth definitely arent whiter than they were in 2019, when I started covering Prime Day. At least I quit smoking.
As sure as the sun rises in the sky, Coleman will mark down their four-person tents to under $85 during an Amazon sale. This Prime Day is no exception.
In keeping with the outdoor theme, LifeStraw also has big discounts across the board come Prime Day. Their deals start cheap — for less than $10, you can grab their original personal water filter. And for a little bit more, their updated Peak Series straw is on sale for $18.
Of course, Amazon marks down its own products for big shopping events, and Prime Day brings the best Kindle prices of the year. These e-readers typically go on sale but twice a year (Black Friday is your other chance to save), so dont miss your chance.
For at least the last couple of years, Amazon has used Black Friday and Prime Day as an excuse to drop the AirPods Pro down to a new record-low price. But theyre being stingy during October Prime Day. Instead, snag the AirPods 4 for $119.
The upholstery cleaning powerhouse otherwise known as the Bissell Little Green can be found on sale year-round, but reliably, Prime Day brings it down to a decent, if not always fantastic, price point. Still, getting cleaner carpets for less than full price never hurts.
Amazon Echo speakers provide the cheapest entry fee for smart speaker life. Just like with Kindles, Amazon doesnt miss a chance to mark them down during the big sale — the cheapest one you can grab is the Echo Pop at just $24.99.
The massage gun craze has died down considerably since COVID times, when we were all really bored and really stressed. But these percussion massagers are still beloved by athletes, and theyre still classic Prime Day deals. The sale price of $149.99 matches the record low that we havent seen since the spring.
Hydration is in big time in 2025. Maybe because its something we can actually control? Whatever the reason, water is good for us and the Yeti Rambler Straw Mug is a great option from one of the top outdoors and camping brands.
The best-selling Lego sets for Prime Day 2025? The seasonal Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar and the classic Lego Brick Box are both on a major discount. Of course, you can find tons more Lego sets on sale this time of year, as per always.
Pro tip: Dont sleep on Walmarts Lego deals!
Look, we love AirPods, but do you really have $429 to spare on AirPods Max headphones? For Prime Day, you can count on Beats and Amazon to deliver deals on noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds for about or under $100.
Instant Pots may not really have the cultural cachet of a few years ago, but theyre still a mainstay on the Prime Day deals page. This Pro Crisp model is a hybrid, serving as both a pressure cooker and an air fryer.
These tiny speakers are the best Bluetooth speakers under $100, even at full price, but Prime Day often brings them to a much, much lower price point. This year, you can grab them for as low as $66.49.
Philips Hue color-changing bulbs may not be cheap, but they definitely set a vibe. Prime Day is an excellent time to find them on sale — this bundle in particular gets you two bulbs and a Hue Bridge, so you can unlock these bulbs full functionality.
Prime Day just wouldnt be the same without Anker marking down essentially its entire product line. The brand is especially known for its chargers, which can power up multiple devices at once with impressive speed. If you want to go all out, this power bank can charge up to four devices at once and includes its own retractable cables.
Boses flagship QuietComfort Ultra are included in Prime Day this year and so are the more affordable Bose QuietComfort. In either case, youll be in great shape for holiday travel with the ability to drown out the noise.
If youve always wanted to be handy around the house, then you need the proper tools. And DeWalt deals are always popular on Prime Day.
Somehow, in the tariff era, TV prices keep getting lower. Why should TVs prove to be so immune to tariffs? Hey, dont look a gift horse in the mouth. This year, you can even grab a 40-inch smart Fire TV from Insignia for just $95.
Prime Day is full of cheap TV deals, but if youre interested in a more elevated experience, Samsungs The Frame TVs double as artwork when youre not binging horror films. The Frame TVs are notorious for costing thousands, but you can save a massive 47% by shopping during October Prime Day.
This is a newcomer in the category, but for the last few years, Brevilles brushed stainless steel espresso machines have always gotten a sizable discount for Prime Day and Black Friday. With dark winter mornings ahead, now is a great time to buy a reason to stop hitting the snooze button.
This is less so one product we see year over year, thanks to how often new robot vacuums hit the market year after year. Still, that paves the way for Prime Day to serve as the debut of many first-time discounts, including this one on the Roborock Saros 10R, Mashables newly crowned best robot vacuum.
You never realize how expensive good luggage is until it comes time to replace yours. Conveniently timed just ahead of holiday travel, Samsonite typically offers solid discounts on its luggage for Prime Day — like this two-piece Omni 2 hardside set. Usually $410, its down to just $195.50, saving you over 50%.
We all know Dyson isnt known for its affordability. If youve been eyeing a Dyson gadget, whether its a new vacuum or the fancy Dyson Airwrap, theres a good chance youll see it on sale during Prime Day. The brand is a Prime Day staple year after year.
Fitbit fitness trackers and smartwatches always get big price drops this time of year. If you like the sound of deeply discounted Fitbits, then its always a good idea to wait until Prime Day, when you can score one for up to 38% off.
Amazon tries to tempt Prime Day shoppers with extended free trials on its most popular services, including Amazon Music Unlimited, Audible, and Kindle Unlimited. Just dont forget to make a calendar event to remind you to cancel the subscription before the free period expires!
