Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2026 Collage
Amazon/Stephanie Maida for PureWow

Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Halloween movie marathons aren’t the only things to look forward to this October. Amazon’s second-biggest sale of the year (aka October Prime Day) is just around the corner, making it the perfect time to kick off the season with major discounts on cozy clothing, skincare staples, kitchen must-haves and more. Mark your calendars, folks, because Prime Big Deal Days are back on Tuesday, Oct. 6 (starting at 12:01 a.m. PDT) through Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2026.

Yes, you've still got some time to prepare, but as PureWow's sales and deals expert, I'll let you in on a little secret: Amazon drops a ton of Prime deals early, so shoppers can get a head start on their savings before the big day.(s) From the Apple AirPods Pro 3 ($249; $199) to Levi’s 725 bootcut jeans ($75; $45) and the trending Dime Beauty hyaluronic acid serum ($32; $26), there are already so many covetable items up for grabs at steal-worthy prices.

That said, I've rounded up 30 of the best early markdowns that you won't want to miss. After all, if they sell out now, there's no guarantee that they'll be restocked for the main event. So I suggest scooping up your must-haves ASAP—and don't forget to sign in or sign up for Amazon Prime to ensure you get access to all the best discounts (and perks like free and fast shipping!).

If you've been searching for the perfect fall layer that isn't too light or too heavy, you're in luck. This longline "coatigan," made from a sturdy knit blend of viscose and nylon, is on sale in a bunch of colors—and, according to buyers, you might want to pick it up in a few of 'em. "It’s stretchy and comfortable to wear, the material is a nice thickness and I think will wash and wear well. I recommend this to anyone thinking about it. I’m ordering more colors," wrote one. Given that it also includes two roomy pockets, I could see why.

Oven-, dishwasher- and utensil-safe and free of "forever chemicals," this 10-inch hybrid frying pan from HexClad checks every box you could want in a piece of cookware. The pan's hybrid surface, which features its signature laser-etched hexagons, combines both stainless-steel and TerraBond ceramic coating to create a unique nonstick surface both home (and professional) cooks love. One reviewer even said it's the "best frypan that I have ever used," so I'd say it's totally worth adding to your kitchen lineup—especially while you can save on it.

I'm always on the lookout for comfortable bras, and this wireless bralette is an excellent under-$30 option. Reviewers say it's just as impressive as pricier brands, complete with adjustable straps, unpadded cups and a deep V-neckline that works well with dresses and low-cut tops. However, it's the buttery polyamide and elastane blend that's undoubtedly the main attraction. As one buyer describes it, it's a "very soft, breathable material [that] feels natural like your own skin." Well, I'm sold.

While Apple recently debuted new AirPods 5, this latest Pro model is still number one in my book. It offers noise cancellation, heart monitoring and live translation—perfect for work, working out and communicating abroad on your next vacation. With an extended battery life and hearing tests, you can even spend less time charging and more time listening to your favorite albums and podcasts, all while keeping an eye on your ear health. Why else do you think they have more than 12,000 5-star reviews and counting? I'll wait, but this deal won't.

If I'm being honest, I probably wear matching lounge sets more than anything else in my wardrobe come fall and winter (can you blame me?), so naturally, this cozy sweatshirt and pants combo is going straight into my cart. And if you're thinking of adding it to yours, too, know that it comes in tons of colors, and shoppers say the material feels thick and soft, so it should be great to wear from now through winter (for movie nights, travel days—the list goes on).

Just because warm weather is behind us doesn’t mean you can’t keep up with your step count. You can easily hit your daily goal from the comfort of your home with this slim walking pad. It features nine automatic incline levels to maximize your fitness routine, while a 12-point shock absorption system helps minimize impact on your joints. As a cherry on top, one buyer said, “It operates quietly, making no noise during use,” so you can even use it under a standing desk while you get some work done.

Need to combat that dreaded draft? This compact space heater will come to your rescue. You can adjust the temperature settings up to 95 degrees Fahrenheit and expect it to start warming up your room in seconds. It can also be moved from room to room, and since it has a bunch of safety features, from tip-over and overheat protection to an enhanced safety plug, you can run it with peace of mind.

These classic clogs are about to become your new go-tos, and at a price this good, they're worth grabbing in multiples. After all, it's not every day you can snag slip-ons with a supportive and foot-conforming cork footbed for less than $30, not to mention ones featuring a genuine suede upper. Yep, these convenient cuties are the real deal, and they're incredibly comfortable to boot. (Just ask one of their 10,000+ reviewers.)

Levi's always comes through with high-quality, highly flattering denim, and this pair is certainly no exception. The bootcut style is made from a cotton blend that shoppers swear is "super comfy, stretchy and soft" with the perfect leg-lengthening silhouette. And at this price? Talk about a jean come true.

This cookware set comes with *19* pieces (i.e., everything a home cook could possibly need), which is hard to believe considering its price tag. Included are two saucepans, two frying pans, a sauté pan, a utensil set, lids, removable handles and more. But how does it all hold up? Well, this reviewer said, "I’ve been using this cookware set for a few weeks now and I’m honestly impressed. The build quality is outstanding; the pans feel sturdy but not overly heavy, and they heat up quickly and evenly, which makes cooking so much easier and more enjoyable. The nonstick coating is truly effective; nothing sticks, and cleaning them is a breeze."

Have some home projects planned? I can't recommend an electric screwdriver enough. This one comes with 50 bits of different types and sizes, which will help you tackle practically anything on your DIY list (build-it-yourself furniture included!). It also has a long-lasting battery that's rechargeable, too, and its magnetic case will keep everything organized and secure when it's time for a break. Do I see an HGTV show in your future?

Sweater weather is nearly here, but instead of reaching for a basic crewneck, I recommend turning things up with this bodycon knit dress. The ribbed construction creates a sleek, curve-hugging silhouette, while the long puff sleeves add some elegant shape and movement. It’s even become a favorite among moms-to-be thanks to its stretchy, non-restrictive fabric. Pair it with some black tights and knee-high boots for the cutest seasonal fit.

We're big fans of red light devices around here, so obviously the deal on this contoured LED massager caught my eye. It features seven different light therapy settings to address different skin concerns, plus a gentle vibration to help sculpt your face. It's also heated, which can help to boost circulation and allow your skincare products to absorb better. Here's why one reviewer loves it: "The device is so simple to use and does help your skincare products' absorption. I have used it for a short period of time but notice my skin feels fresh, toned and, more importantly, visually looks better."

Christmas isn’t the only string light–worthy holiday—Halloween deserves some gleam, too. Whether your decorations skew spooky or gothic chic, this 100-foot string of waterproof LED lights will add a glowing finishing touch. You can customize their display courtesy of eight lighting modes, and the built-in memory chip remembers your settings so you don’t have to reset them every time you turn the lights on. Meanwhile, the timer feature automatically shuts them off after six hours to save energy.

A new season means a fresh pair of running shoes (at least in my book), and I'm sprinting towards this Adidas style. The beloved sneakers aren't just well-cushioned and super breathable, but they're also totally street-chic, so you can feel like a cool girl when you hit the trails (or the treadmill). As one reviewer shared, "[They] go well with any outfit and hold up all day...Wore them at Disney and did over 20,000 steps and was comfortable. After a few years I got a replacement. Love the fit, feels like I'm wearing socks since the upper part is flexible fabric."

This top-handle makeup bag looks much more high-end than its price tag suggests, but beyond that, it's seriously practical. It's crafted from waterproof PU leather, which "looks great inside and out" and "wipes clean and dries right off without staining," according to one shopper. It has a zippered middle compartment and multiple interior pockets, which are ideal for storing brushes, compacts and even jewelry. Better yet, it unzips to open flat, allowing you to easily find just the toiletry you were looking for. Let's just say it's about to become your new favorite travel companion.

Travelers—including PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida—swear by these compact trackers when an airline has no idea where their suitcase is, but I can confirm that they're also a game-changer when you can't find your keys, wallet or even your pets. Here's how the Apple AirTags work: All you have to do is stick one of the tiny trackers in your luggage or purse, or on your keychain or pet's collar, and a chip with ultra-wideband and Bluetooth technology will help lead you to its last location in the Find My app (available on iPhones). As long as the device is within range of *any* iPhone, you'll have peace of mind knowing exactly where it is. Which, of course, is why these handy gadgets have racked up thousands of fans—and you'll get *four* in this pack for a steal.

The benefits of hyaluronic acid include softening the look of fine lines and wrinkles while boosting skin hydration for some major bounce. That said, this plumping serum from buzzy brand Dime Beauty can replace multiple products in your regimen, streamlining your skincare routine for the season. And a little goes a long way—one shopper said all you need is a dab on your fingertips for full-face application and to keep skin hydrated against the cold, dry air of fall and winter. It also works quickly; another reviewer shared that after just one week, their "skin looks healthier and more even." Sounds like you should stock up while it’s on sale.

With thousands of 5-star reviews, it's no wonder this longline sports bra from The Gym People is one of PureWow readers' top buys—especially when it goes on sale. Why do shoppers love it so much? Well, reviewers call out that the design, which is best for low- or medium-impact workouts, feels supportive while offering a flattering fit. Not to mention the fabulous feel of the fabric, which many have described as being "buttery soft." What else could you want in a workout top?

"I didn’t think a countertop ice cream machine could change my nightly routine, but the Ninja Creami Deluxe proved me wrong," wrote one PureWow editor in her review of the viral appliance, which she loves for whipping up healthy frozen treats. "It’s so easy to throw in a scoop of protein powder, some milk and a mix-in or two the night before, then press a button and end up with a creamy, perfectly scoopable dessert that feels indulgent, but really isn’t. It’s fun, a little therapeutic and incredibly versatile." FYI, it has 11 programs that can help you make everything from gelato to smoothies and milkshakes with the touch of a button. This bundle also comes with four family-sized tubs, so everyone can take turns making their own creations to keep in the freezer. 

More than 40,000 Amazon shoppers have bought this famous (and famously affordable) serum this month alone, and I don't have to wonder why. It's packed with snail mucin, which is said to be loaded with nutrients that can intensely nourish and hydrate your skin. No, I'm not kidding. In PureWow's deep dive into snail mucin, cosmetic chemist Alex Padgett told us, "the liquid [that] snails secrete is rich in hydrating humectants and polysaccharides that can help improve hydration and help skin hold onto water better." And guys, since this formula contains a whopping 96 percent of the stuff, there's no question whether it'll help you achieve a "glazed donut" complexion in no time.

Besides the fact that Sarah Jessica Parker has been using this French pharmacy staple for over a decade now (which is a good sign that it's worth every penny), I'd say it's worth a try for its dermatologist-approved formula, which includes rich shea butter, glycerin and dimethicone for some serious TLC. The ingredients work together to restore, soothe and protect the all-important skin barrier, so if you have dry, sensitive skin, it may be your key to relief. However, shoppers reveal that the product has helped with so much more than that, from clearing up their breakouts to making their skin feel soft and hydrated. As one reviewer describes it, "It feels lightweight but still provides plenty of hydration, and it absorbs quickly without leaving my skin greasy or heavy."

Sniffle season is no match for this sinus inhaler, which creates a warm mist of steam to offer temporary relief from coughs, congestion and allergies. It works fast, providing five- to 15-minute treatments, plus you can adjust the steam settings depending on how strong you need it. "This is not medicinal or going to cure your cold instantly, but it provides such a great relief from the most annoying symptoms of most colds and sinus infections," wrote one fan of the device. "This helped me actually get to sleep when my nose was stuffed up horribly and my throat was raw." Psst: Use it with the Vicks menthol vapor pads to take the soothing relief to the next level.

Cleaning your stove, bathroom floor and even your car won’t feel like a humongous chore when you have this electric spin scrubber in hand. Don't believe me? Well, wait until I tell you that it comes with eight replaceable brush heads you can swap out in seconds, so you can tackle nearly any cleaning job like a pro. And not only can you use it as a handheld scrubber for appliances and kitchenware, but it also features a telescopic extension rod that extends the cleaner from 12 to 54 inches—perfect for reaching high-up tiles in your shower or the roof of your car. As one reviewer put it: “The spinning power does most of the work, so I’m not bending, scrubbing or fighting with grime. It cleans way more effectively and in half the time compared to doing it by hand.” What they didn’t mention is that it runs for up to 90 minutes on a single charge, allowing you to tackle multiple areas in one sesh.

As we head into holiday cooking season, I'm not exaggerating when I say you'll get *a ton* of use out of this vegetable chopper and spiralizer that's incredibly satisfying to use. "Straight out of the box, a little wash and I was chopping [veggies] like a pro...I was concerned if it could chop root vegetables, [but a potato] went through like a hot knife through butter," raved one reviewer. Yep, it's a meal prep game-changer. Not to mention the fact that it's super easy to use; just push whole vegetables or fruits through one of the four blade panels and collect the perfectly sliced, diced or spiraled contents from the container. No stress, no mess.

These nifty plugs will upgrade your work-from-home routine by instantly turning any old appliance into a smart home device. All you have to do is plug in your most-used electronics (like your desk lamp or fan), set them up in the accompanying app, and voilà, you'll be ready to control the devices remotely from your phone. You can also go a step further by setting them up with Alexa or Google Assistant, which will allow you to power them on and off just by using your voice. And if you want to save energy, you can set your plugs on a timer to turn off appliances after a certain amount of time. Welcome to the future!

If the thousands of 5-star reviews aren't proof enough, I'll confirm that this is one of the best water flossers you can buy today, tomorrow or next week to make your dentist proud. Cordless, rechargeable and so easy to travel with, the electric flosser replaces traditional string floss by using a combination of water and pressure—which can be set to two precision pulse settings—to gently remove up to 99.9 percent of plaque bacteria in your mouth. I'm a believer, and I've got the fresh breath and squeaky-clean gums to prove it.

Can't decide which streaming stick to snag? If you ask former PureWow editor Sydney Meister, the Roku is a great alternative to the Fire Stick. While they both have relatively fast start-ups to stream everything from Netflix to Prime Video, as well as voice search and control functionality, she says the Roku has the best interface for easy navigation and took only five minutes to set up. Others agree that it's more user-friendly than other streaming sticks, so prepare to binge your favorite shows in high-quality picture. (You know, since it also supports 4K, Dolby Vision and HDR10.) This bad boy also offers access to more than *500* free live TV channels and local news, so you'll never run out of viewing options.

As we already well know, the delicate area around your eyes is prone to puffiness, crinkliness and fine lines as we age. But you can fight back with the help of these hypoallergenic patches, which are infused with anti-aging heroes including retinol, collagen, niacinamide and glutathione. Together, these ingredients work to nourish and firm the area, so you always look like you got a full night's rest (even if you most definitely did not). But even better, the patches are designed to be used in other wrinkle-prone areas of your face, from your smile lines to your neck.

The number one best seller in Amazon's wet-dry vacuum lineup, the Tineco iFloor 5 Breeze truly lives up to its name by making cleaning your floors a total breeze. Essentially a mop and vacuum in one, this device can take on both wet and dry messes, so a spilled bowl of milk and cereal won't feel like the end of the world. It’s cordless, easy to maneuver and features a dual-tank separation system to ensure you’re always cleaning with fresh water. Meanwhile, an innovative flat scraper helps squeeze out dirty water and clear debris, keeping the brush roller squeaky clean. From tiles to marble to wood, this ingenious hybrid is about to become your hard-floor holy grail.
