By this point, you likely know October Prime Day is in full swing from October 6 to October 7. Whether your group chat is abuzz about all the viral products on sale or your teen won’t stop asking for your card, the fact of the matter is that just about everyone (and I mean everyone, including PureWow editors) is in on the two-day sale. And good news: You only need $50 to shop. Seriously. Prime Day may actually be one of the only sales where you can really ball out and snag top-selling items like the Grande Cosmetics GrandeLash-MD lash-enhancing serum or Rubbermaid Brilliance food storage containers without going over your limit.

Before you run off to shop, I have to remind you that only Prime members can access the mega-deals, so if you’re not one, sign up for a free 30-day trial (like, now). While doing so will unlock a ton of other perks, like fast and free delivery on millions of items, I'm focused on how much moolah you’ll save on kitchen appliances, beauty, tech and more over the next two days—specifically, these Amazon Prime Day deals under $50.

If you have thin hair, this texturizing hairspray should be at the very top of your shopping list. It adds volume and a flexible hold to your hair without weighing it down or leaving a layer of sticky film. Many shoppers are praising this spray's volumizing properties, with one raving, "Love this product! Definitely adds fullness and body, especially at the scalp. Not sticky or flaky like some products. You can also style after you spray."

To put it frankly, nothing beats this Crest Whitestrips deal. Just scroll through reviewers’ before-and-after photos, and you’ll get the picture (literally). In a nutshell, these strips do an incredible job of whitening teeth. The reason? They’re coated with a tooth-whitening gel featuring dentist-approved ingredients, which allows them to remove stains below the enamel’s surface. And all it takes is a couple of 30-minute treatments before you’ll start to notice a difference, according to reviewers. (P.S. You get 22 in the pack.)

These under-eye masks are TikTok-famous, and for good reason. Packed with hydrolyzed vegetable protein, Chondrus Crispus powder and glycerin, these little wonders help neutralize under-eye circles and plump the skin, making it feel firmer and reducing the appearance of lines. And pro tip: They’re extra soothing if you stash them in the fridge.

Now that it's officially fall, I'm stocking up on comfy, cozy styles while they're on sale, starting with this quarter-zip sweater. Its longer length will pair perfectly with leggings while I'm running errands after a workout class, and the built-in thumbholes are great for a little extra hand coverage once the weather cools even more.

Clogs are seriously trending this season, so if you haven't picked up a pair yet, I suggest you jump on this deal. The tan suede color of these clogs will match just about everything in your closet, and reviewers rave about their comfort. "The cork footbed is supportive without feeling too stiff, and I noticed they were comfortable from the first time I wore them," shared one.

If you have fall travel plans, you're going to want to snag this portable steamer. It will keep your clothes wrinkle free without the hassle of dragging out the iron. Its compact size makes it easy to pack, and it heats up in just 15 seconds, so it won't add a ton of time to your morning routine.

7. Black+Decker Dustbuster

Black + Decker

This vacuum is renowned for its ability to squeeze into hard-to-reach spots and ease of use (it's cordless and weighs less than 3 pounds!). Its nozzle rotates 180 degrees, and it comes with a crevice tool, so you're not fighting to squeeze the vac into that dreaded area under your fridge and cabinets that standard models are too bulky to get to.

I always appreciate when leggings have pockets so I can easily stash my phone and keys within reach while I'm walking my dog—and this popular pair is marked down to just $20 during the sale. It's available in a bunch of colors and patterns, so I definitely don't blame you if you want to pick up more than one, especially since reviewers say they're "made really well" and are "extremely comfortable."

Puffer vests are the perfect layer for tricky in-between weather, and this one comes with a convenient removable hood. It also features side pockets, a full zipper and a long length for warmth. Shoppers call it "cute and functional," and note that it's "excellent for fall weather."

Now is the time to upgrade your food storage. Buyers say you won’t be disappointed with these BPA-free glass containers because they’re airtight, leak-proof, odor- and stain-resistant. They also come with microwavable vented lids to minimize splatters, and the glass is oven-safe up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Got a small kitchen? No worries. The containers are all stackable, so you won’t have to sacrifice too much of your precious cabinet space.

This lip mask is constantly the talk of the town, and the reason is pretty simple: The results speak for themselves, at least according to buyers who love how soft and hydrated it makes their smackers feel (Kate Hudson and our editors among them). If you’re suffering from cracked, dry lips, this cult-favorite berry complex formula, featuring coconut oil, shea butter, murumuru seed butter and vitamin C, promises to intensely moisturize your lips as you sleep, so you can wake up with an Instagrammable pout.

This deeply hydrating cream is the perfect gift for anybody looking to amp up their skincare game. Featuring sea buckthorn extract, niacinamide and pure vitamin C as its main ingredients, it helps boost your skin's hydration and radiance using penetrating liposome capsules. To that end, reviewers can't stop talking about it, with one five-star reviewer writing, "This cream is a game-changer for dull skin. Bursting the liposome capsules into the gel feels super fresh, and it gives an incredible, healthy sheen right away. It keeps my face plump and hydrated all day without irritating my skin like some Vitamin C products do. Highly recommend if you want that dewy Korean glass-skin look!"

Is there really anything else you need to know about this serum other than the fact that it made our tester’s lashes so long they nearly touched her eyebrows? You can read all about it in this review, but that’s all the reason we need to stock up while it’s available at such a big discount. For those who need extra convincing, it has a dream blend of vitamins, peptides and amino acids designed to help lashes grow longer and thicker in just weeks, according to the brand. Oh, and one tube should last you *six* weeks (although reviewers say you’ll start noticing results within four).

With thousands of reviews, the Bagsmart water-resistant toiletry bag is worth a closer look, especially if you have a trip coming up. Why are people so into it? Its organization is extensive, with four zippered compartments, elastic straps to keep bottles upright and transparent lining so you can get a full overview of what you’ve packed. There’s also a stowable, 360-degree swivel hook and two-way zipper for easy access. The exterior is made of a water-resistant, padded polyester that holds its shape and helps protect fragile items.

Nothing is more important than your peace of mind, and this Ring video doorbell has earned high marks from homeowners all over the world for its crystal-clear footage and tech-savvy motion features. In addition to an easy setup, you can also record 24/7 on your camera, engage in two-way talk with your visitors and connect to Alexa for custom notifications. What more could you ask for?

Hosting Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving this year? These warming trays are a must. They'll keep all of your dishes warm as you prep them, so you won't have to rush to try to get everything to be done cooking at the exact same time. They have a modular design, so you can arrange them in a way that fits your kitchen counter or dining table, and they can be set to 10 heat levels, ranging from 86 to 248 degrees Fahrenheit. You can set a timer for up to six hours, so you don't have to stress about remembering to turn them off, and there's a child lock that can be set for added safety.

Not sure about you guys, but I get super cold in the winter. Space heaters have been lifesavers for me, and this portable electric one from Dreo has come in handy for many. It's flame-resistant and, per the brand, features a new heat funnel design to deliver heat within seconds. Plus, it operates quietly, which means it won't distract or interrupt what you're doing.

Leopard print has been a slow-building trend this fall, and these jeans will bring such a fun pop of it to your wardrobe. They have a wide-leg cut that's sure to feel comfy, not to mention a bit of elastane in the fabric for stretch. "The material has a comfortable amount of stretch, which makes them easy to move around in throughout the day," confirmed one buyer, who also said, "the leopard print is stylish without being overwhelming."

Nothing's cozier than a good sweatsuit set, and this one's marked down to under $40 for both pieces. It's machine washable and comes in tons of colors, including neutrals like this navy and black, along with brighter options like pink and red. "I now have two and I want more because it is easy to pack, never wrinkles, can be worn anywhere and [launders] in a flash. One of the best values I have found, and I have a closet full of loungewear," raved one shopper.

Give your movie nights an upgrade with this cuddly throw blanket that buyers say "is so soft and comfy that you can't wait to curl up in it and watch TV." It has a fun bubble texture for a style that you won't mind displaying on your couch, and it's available in seven sizes, ranging from throw to king, so you can snag one for your bedroom, too, while it's under $20.

21. JBL Go 4

JBL

A party isn't complete without a speaker to blast the hits (preferably from the 2000s). This JBL portable speaker may be small, but it's mighty with its booming sound system and volume. You get up to seven hours of battery time before needing a recharge, and it's powered by Bluetooth, meaning you can take it just about anywhere. Plus, it's waterproof. "Works great in the shower for my music or audiobooks, no issues getting soaking wet. Connected easily, and stays connected," said one buyer.

Whether you want one for yourself or for your kids, this color-changing night light is worth adding to your cart. It can be set to auto-cycle through eight colors, or you can set it to stay on your favorite simply by touching the top for half a second. It's also designed with an anti-blue LED light, so it won't disturb your sleep. It's also rechargeable and lasts up to 100 hours on the dimmest setting, or up to five hours on the brightest setting.

If you want to use this sale to get a head start on holiday shopping, why not snag this multi-purpose golf set kids are sure to love? It's designed with a fun, dinosaur-shaped automatic ball returner and comes with glow-in-the-dark golf balls, clubs with adjustable lengths, tees, targets, and more. A cornhole board is included, too, so they'll easily get hours of entertainment out of the set.

Now's the perfect time to restock your vanity, considering there are so many good beauty deals included in the sale—like this Charlotte Tilbury color corrector. It's available in fair and medium shades and has a buildable, blendable formula that makes it easy to get the exact amount of coverage you want. "This concealer is amazing. It goes on easily with no caking," shared a recent reviewer—so go ahead and snag it before the price goes back up.

Keep your counters protected from spills and stains with this absorbent (and #aesthetic) mat. It has a rubber backing to keep it in place, and you can score it on sale in a bunch of colors, patterns and sizes to complement your kitchen decor. It's perfect for your coffee station, drying rack and home bar setup.

It slices, it dices, it grates and spiralizes. Chopping vegetables on a cutting board can be tedious, but the Fullstar veggie chopper makes meal prep easy. (No more running after flying onion bits that escaped under the kitchen island.) Eleven different inserts allow you to juice, julienne, slice, chop, dice and grate produce, eggs and cheese on a platform that then ejects everything into a neat container, so cleanup is a breeze. The blades are rust-resistant and dishwasher-safe. Cooking at home never looked so easy.

I don't know about you, but the kids in my life can be entertained for a long time by a good bubble machine, and this best-selling one's less than $25 right now. It creates an impressive 18,000+ bubbles per minute and features two speed levels. Plus, it's portable, so your family can bring it to the park, the beach, a birthday party—wherever.

You can’t go wrong with a pair of tried-and-true Levi’s—and the brand’s Wedgie straight-leg jeans are a cult favorite. With their trademark vintage fit and vibrant light wash finishes, these make for great everyday denim for everything from Target runs to date night. Plus, despite the cheeky name, they’re reportedly super comfortable—the 99 percent cotton blend isn’t too stiff—and flatter backsides of all sizes. “These are my favorite jeans ever,” one Amazon reviewer raves. “They make my butt look amazing. They fit my waist and don’t slide down. The denim is thick and not stretchy, which is a huge plus. The more you wear them, the better they fit.”

With 10 hours of playtime on a single charge (and 30 hours with the case), these earbuds will keep your playlist going all day. It features oversized 10mm drivers, so you can feel the boosted bass in each beat, and you can even customize the sound with 22 EQ presets via the Soundcore app. Plus, if you’re in a pinch, a quick 10-minute charge gives you two more hours of tunes—they’re lightweight and water-resistant—and there’s even a “Find My Earbuds” feature (so you never lose them). 

Cut down on plastic in your kitchen with these plastic-free dishwasher detergent tablets that have earned thousands of glowing reviews. "These little tablets may look simple, but they pack some serious cleaning power. My dishes come out of the dishwasher looking sparkling clean, fresh, and almost like I just bought them," raved one recent reviewer. You get 120 of them in this pack, so you'll be set through the holidays.

For easy breathing and a good night's rest, you'll definitely want to snag this humidifier while it's on sale. Not only does it come with adjustable mist control, but it's also easy to clean, with reviewers raving about its effectiveness. In fact, one Amazon shopper says it has improved the quality of their sleep, writing, "I bought this humidifier mainly because my mouth gets very dry during the winter months, and it has made a huge difference. Since I started using it, I’ve been sleeping much more comfortably at night without waking up thirsty."

It won't take long for your child (and you) to fall in love with this popular construction-themed set, which features 32 STEM-challenging pieces that assist with developing fine motor skills, bilateral coordination, cognitive skills and more. What's more, the pieces are high-quality and made from food-grade and non-toxic plastic, making this set a great pickup (especially while it's on sale).

33. Glocusent Book Light

Glocusent

This rechargeable reading light made it onto Reese Witherspoon’s holiday gift guide in 2024, and it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser. It comes in seven colors with a variety of warm and cool color temperatures, and a blue-light filter as an added bonus. You can also adjust the brightness levels and light direction so you don’t disturb your sleep partner. The battery will last around 80 hours—plenty of time to motor your way through your holiday reading list.

A hydrating shower oil that also smells good is premium self-care in my book, and this one from Bioderma is the real deal. One customer calls it the "best body wash on the market," with others raving about its soothing nature and cleansing properties. Even better, it's great for sensitive skin and can be used on both your face and body.

It's only a matter of time before your kid puts a scooter on their wishlist, so why not beat them to the punch? This Gotrax KS1 scooter is designed with a lean-to-steer technology that helps your child develop their balance and coordination, and has an adjustable handlebar with soft handle grips that make for a smooth and steady ride. The glowing LED lights are sure to win them over, and, best of all, they'll be able to grow with it over time.

Gone are the days of desperately sitting on your suitcase and praying for it to close. With this seven-piece, expandable packing cube set, all your clothing has a proper place. This includes a clear toiletry bag, shoe bag, large cube for coats and sweaters, plus two medium and two small packing cubes. Each one can be compressed and zipped, and comes with a handle for easy access.

Don't know what a pump spinner is? Allow me to introduce you to your new favorite kitchen product. A versatile salad spinner that quickly washes and dries lettuce, fruits and more, it clocks in at 6.6 quarts, so you can clean produce in one go, instead of working in small batches. It's also "remarkably efficient," according to a buyer, who explains that "Leafy greens, such as lettuce, often hide soil that can be difficult to remove without damaging the leaves. I typically give them a quick rinse outside to remove most of the dirt before placing them in the spinner filled with ice water. The results have been impressive."

A cult-favorite acne patch that blasts those annoying zits away as soon as they pop up, Mighty Patch has earned a stellar reputation not just for its effectiveness, but also for how discreet the patches are on your face, and many shoppers call them essential to their beauty routines. Or as one buyer writes: "These patches are amazing! I put one on a pimple at night, and by the morning, the spot looked so much smaller and less red. These really help absorb everything without drying out the skin. The patches stay on all night, even if you move around, and they’re super easy to peel off without irritation."
