18 Items PureWow Editors Are Shopping For Prime Day 2026

“This pomade stick is one of my secret weapons for taming flyaways (and I have a ton),” writes SEO Editor Marissa Wu. “I love that it doesn't weigh down my fine/thin hair in a way that looks greasy, just a light pass really gets the baby hairs to lay flat.” Plus, it’s compact and easy to travel with.

We’re instantly sold on any pair of cozy pants that don’t sacrifice style. This trendy pair is Affiliate Director Pamela Masin’s pick of the season: “I am living in lightweight barrel pants this summer and can't wait to snag these on sale. They come in over 20 colors and have over 400 5-star reviews.” Don't need to tell me twice.

Designed to be leak-proof and mess-free, this five-compartment lunch box should be on every mom’s Prime Day shopping list. Executive Managing Editor and first-time mom Catrina Yohay is already planning for her son’s future lunch times. “My son is growing up faster than I can keep up, so I'll be taking advantage of 40 percent off Bentgo to pick up his new toddler lunch box in a bright color that will not get overlooked on busy mornings!”

Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida recently became a West Coaster and is counting on this cooling fan to help her beat the heat: “I just moved and am in need of a quality fan to help me survive the summer. I've heard incredible things about Dyson's bladeless models, and appreciate their super sleek look. I have this oscillating version, equipped with the brand's signature Air Multiplier technology and ten airflow settings, sitting in my cart, awaiting a discount.”

“I've heard great things about this natural deodorant so I'm giving it a go when it's on sale!” says Masin. “It's known for actually combating odor and smelling amazing, but it also helps minimize ingrown hairs and reduce discoloration.” The deodorant comes in several of the brand's best-selling scents, so I would act fast before it's too late.

This luxe anti-aging serum (packed with peptides and hyaluronic acid) is on Fashion and Beauty Director Deena Campbell's restock list. “I’m 100 percent stocking up on Dr. Diamond’s Metacine InstaFacial Growth Factor Serum for Prime Day because I genuinely miss it when I’m not using it. My skin always looks smoother, bouncier and noticeably more hydrated when it’s in my routine. And considering this stuff is definitely an investment, I’m super hyped to jump on a good Prime Day discount.”

“I've been using this Dove Serum+ shower oil and body wash for months now, and I'm already in need of my third bottle,” raves Maida. “It's so luxurious and soothing (and it's come in clutch upon my recent move to dry-air Los Angeles). It's totally comparable to a similar shower oil wash on the market, but a fraction of the price—and if I can save even more on it during Prime Day, I'll definitely be buying in bulk.”

Take this as a sign to stock up on all your beach day essentials. Masin has her sights set on this protective beach cabana. “I love the beach, but in order to make a day of it, I absolutely have to have shade. Now with a 1-year-old, I need more than just an umbrella so I can't wait to get this cabana during Prime Day. It's UPF 50, is only 10 pounds and packs up into a convenient carrying bag.”

Wu’s also re-upping on R+Co’s dry shampoo and flexible hairspray, which has been her go-to for months. It reportedly has great hold, and Wu explains, “It's sticky at first, but it'll soften throughout the day so your hair isn't crispy.”

Pro tip: take advantage of this sale to stock up on your pricier beauty essentials. “I've been using this face wash for 16 years and stock up whenever the big size is on sale,” says Associate Director Emily Brozyna. With ingredients like meadowfoam seed oil, this cleanser has a gentle formula and adds moisture without stripping the skin.

Toys that fuel your kiddo’s imagination (and can keep them occupied for hours) are always a big yes in our book. “My nephew has [this set] and the kids played with it forever. It was hilarious to have the kids take everyone's ‘order’ and try their best to remember it—it was as much fun for the adults as it was for the kids,” says PureWow Senior Director and Family Editor Rachel Bowie.

This no-rinse hair mask softens and strengthens the hair without leaving residue. Not to mention it promises quick results and requires very little effort when it comes to application. “I'm low-maintenance with my hair (maybe a little too low-maintenance) so I always look for products that I can seamlessly incorporate into my routine without taking too much time or energy," says Maida. "That said, I'm eyeing the IGK bond-building overnight mask, an easy spray-on mist that's meant to repair heat and dye damage as you sleep. Right up my alley.”

“I need a cordless vac with enough suction power to really clean up my stairs, the spaces between car seat cushions...and everywhere in my car,” says VP of Editorial Content Candace Davison. “I've tested just about every brand of vac out there, and I'm consistently impressed with Shark's quality for its price point. That's why I'm eyeing this lightweight cordless stick vacuum for Prime Day.” For $150 off, that's a discount you don't want to miss.

“So far the only dry shampoo I've come around to. This one doesn't feel too powdery or heavy.” says Wu. Made with aloe leaf and ginger root extracts, and Vitamin B, this spray adds body and volume your tresses while conditioning and protecting them. It's also suitable for all hair types.

These convenient travel containers are highly regarded for their ability to make packing beauty products a breeze. “The influencers have convinced me: I need these stackable, magnetic travel containers,” Yohay raves. “They're normally pretty pricey, so taking advantage of 25 percent off during Prime Day. Maybe I'll even throw in a Parcel for easy storage.” They're leak-proof, easy to use and TSA-friendly, according to the brand.

‘Tis the season to eat as many yummy frozen treats as you want, especially if they’re homemade. “Summer is peak ice cream season, and I'm psyched to make my own,” says Davison. “The new NutriBullet Chill is sleek and compact—roughly 47 percent smaller than competitors, according to the brand—so it won't take up much counter (or cabinet) space, and it still whips up two pints of ice cream, gelato or sorbet. Sign. Me. Up.”

“I've been going through my jar of this body butter like crazy because I love the way it melts into my skin,” says Freelance Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera. “The coral coast scent is a subtle blend of coconut, water, and guava lily that I love for summer. I'll be stocking up on this (and probably a few others!) while it's marked down.”

Another great Prime Day pickup? Hair tools. LaBarbera is eyeing this low effort styler. “I've been so intrigued by hair tools like this one that feature cooling air vents that help set your curls in just seconds. Now that it's over 20 percent off, it feels like the perfect time to try it.”
