IDK about you, but I've had Amazon on the mind a lot this week. For one thing, the retailer finally announced the dates for October Prime Day 2025, and for another, my colleagues here at PureWow were just discussing their most recent scores, so obviously I had to go sniff them out for myself (and, admittedly, add some of their recs to my own already-full cart). 

What exactly have they (and I) been shopping? Well, one editor snagged this powerful (but compact and easy to store) steam cleaner ($260; $211), while another was focused on refreshing her fall fashion with picks like trendy faux suede handbag ($129; $110). Below, find these and a bunch of other products we shopped this week that are definitely worth adding to your next Amazon haul.

"It's been beyond time for me to get a steam cleaner, and I like this one because it only takes about a minute to heat up, and it really eliminates dirt in a fast, efficient manner," shares PureWow Associate Commerce Strategist Jael Rucker. "There [are] also multiple tools to effectively get into tough creases and crevices. It's a breeze to put together, equally easy to use and it's on sale, too." Well, that definitely sounds like it's well worth the buy to me (especially since it can go from cleaning floors to scrubbing grout!).

PureWow VP of Editorial Content Candace Davison is taking the week to start prepping for cooler weather. "With winter approaching, I am doing everything I can to avoid dry skin," she said. "These socks are awesome for moisturizing your heels so they don't crack. Slather on your favorite moisturizer, put them on for half an hour or so, and you'll be surprised by how soft they are afterward." At just $11 on sale, they come in at a much lower price than your average pedicure, too, which is undoubtedly part of the reason why more than 1,000 other Amazon shoppers have scooped them up this month, according to the retailer.

Me? Naturally, I had to prioritize my pup this week (although, that's really no different from any other week), and pick up a new pack of his favorite human-grade dog food from The Pets Table. You can catch a full review of it here, but I love that this food is made with natural, nourishing ingredients and, what's more, he actually gets excited to eat it.

PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida shopped this trendy fall bag this week. "I'd been dying for an East-West bag—I think the long, structured look is so chic and unique—and landed on this style. I could not be happier with it. Between the trendy brown suede look (it is faux suede, but feels just as luxurious as the real deal), perfect size and high-quality construction, it was well worth the splurge," she explained. Plus, it's available in black, olive and an ivory canvas color, too, if you want yours to stand out from the crowd of brown suede accessories this season.

"I'm finally getting around to replacing my plastic Tupperware with all glass," shares PureWow Director of Affiliate Strategy Pamela Masin. "This set has so many different sizes, is dishwasher and microwave safe and it's on sale as an early October Prime Day deal," she went on to say. So if you've been looking to upgrade your own kitchen storage solutions, this is the perfect time to do it.

I'm a big fan of Solawave's skincare wand (which features red light and galvanic currents), so I was excited to get the chance to snag the brand's eye mask this week. This one is designed to tackle crow's feet, dark circles, puffiness and more, and considering the sessions last just three minutes per day, it'll be easy to work into my normal skincare routine.

Fall is officially here, so why not indulge in some seasonal sips, like this apple spice tea that Marissa Wu, PureWow SEO and audience development editor, just picked up? "This tea smells just like apple cider! The flavor is a lot more delicate but...it's a nice way to have the vibes and then control how much and what type of sweetener you like," she explained. Um, yeah, it sounds like I need to get this in my cart right now—and if you're a tea lover, so should you.

Another fall fashion find from Maida, these knit flats are equal parts comfy and versatile. "I also can’t say enough good things about these flats," she raves. "[They] turned me into a believer after years of avoiding them. The knit upper is stretchy and breathable, and they’re sooo pillowy inside. I walked 12,000 steps in them right out of the box and was shocked by how comfortable they remained all day. Zero blisters then and since!" And now that they're on sale, I'd say they're more than worth adding to your shoe collection.

Listen, I've never met a retelling of The Great Gatsby I *didn't* like, but after getting about halfway through an early copy of this one by K.M. Fajardo, I immediately placed a preorder to get a physical copy to keep on my shelf. This cyberpunk story is set in New York in the year 2075, where Nick Carraway has just moved and meets billionaire Jay Gatsby (sound familiar?). Where things differ, though, is in the city's tech-enhanced bodies and deep dives into cyberspace, which lead to Carraway's investigation of Gatsby and immersion into elite society. Trust me when I tell you you'll want to order this one now, so you can have it as soon as it releases Oct. 14.

Another fab find from Wu are these no-show socks that *actually* stay up. "I finally got introduced by a friend to some no-shows that actually stay up. I bought six pairs, and I might need more," she says. And considering you can scoop them in three-packs in multiple colors from just $19, you can stock up without breaking the bank.
