What our editors are buying
To help you find more of the best deals this Prime Day, we asked our editors what they’re shopping for. It’s a mixed bag, with everything from best-selling beauty products and trending oval sunglasses to Kindles and e-reader accessories. Below, the essentials we’re most excited to see on sale and think are absolutely worth adding to your shopping carts today.
Crest 3D Whitestrips are a staple in my vacation prep—and they’re one of the best-selling Prime Day deals year after year. I’ll be traveling a lot in August, so this sale is coming in clutch; with so many photo ops on the horizon, I want my smile to shine extra bright. I’ve also heard good things about the Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Daily Peel Pads. They will minimize a lot of steps in my skincare routine, so I won’t have to worry about packing several bulky products. —Paris Wilson, commerce writer
I’ve been in the market for a Kindle for a while after seeing how easy it was for my family and friends to travel with theirs. This classic Kindle is the perfect size and weight to slip into a tote bag and take with me wherever I go, whether that be to the airport, or just getting a few pages in on the train. To accompany my new Kindle, this clicker is over 60 percent off right now, so you best bet I’ll be grabbing it before the end of the sale. I like that it doesn’t need Wi-Fi or Bluetooth so you can use it anywhere anytime. It makes it so easy to flip through pages on your Kindle without having to move at all. It also can be used to take pictures on your phone so you can get the perfect shot without having to ask a stranger. —Jamie Spain, travel bookings editor
It has been so hot in NYC this summer, so I’ve been going through Nuuns and Liquid IVs like crazy. APD is a prime time to restock, with 30 percent off tons of flavors. The tangerine Hydration Multiplier and Immune Support mix has been bringing me back to life after long runs. Another constant companion this summer to beat the heat: this portable handheld fan—I’ve been using it on the subway, walking into work, and eating outdoors. If I’m going outside, it’s coming with me. Crest 3D Whitestrips are always on sale during Prime Day, and while they are effective, I find them to be a bit uncomfortable on my teeth. I’m excited to see this set from Lumineux on sale, too—I’ve heard good things about them as a teeth whitener geared toward folks with sensitive teeth, and am eager to try them out. —Madison Flager, senior commerce editor
I’ve already gone through all of my sunscreen that I bought at the beginning of the summer, so I’m using Prime Day to restock on a few of my go-tos. I’m picking up Sun Bum’s Original Sunscreen Spray for my body and Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen for my face. When I saw the popular Sojos retro oval sunglasses are on sale, I knew I had to add them to my order. I’ll be wearing these stylish shades all summer long. —Meaghan Kenny, commerce editor
Travel accessories
Prime Day is the perfect time to score deals on best-selling travel accessories. If you’re afraid of losing your luggage (every traveler’s worst nightmare), take advantage of discounts on smart tags from Tile or Samsung. Many of our tried-and-true portable steamers are on sale, too, including editor-tested favorites like the Proctor 2-in-1 travel steamer and the Hilife steamer. We’re also eyeing deals on travel pillows from Dot & Dot and Cabeau’s Fold N’ Go travel blanket. Deals on travel accessories don’t stop there—keep scrolling for discounts on reusable water bottles from Simple Modern, Hydro Flask, and Stanley (a must for staying hydrated in hot weather); sleep masks; compression socks; packing cubes; and more.
Tech essentials
We typically see some of the steepest Prime Day discounts on big-ticket electronics and tech essentials. In this category, noise-canceling headphones, portable chargers, and wearable tech tend to be among the most popular items to shop on Prime Day. This means these tech favorites are likely to sell out quickly, so you’ll want to add them to cart ASAP if they’re on your wishlist. Shoppers can save on best-selling wireless headphones from Apple, Sony, JBL, Beats, Bose, Soundcore, and more. We’re also excited to see discounts on digital cameras, tablets, and the mega-popular Oura Rings. Smart watches like the Fitbit Sense 2, Apple Watch Series 9, and Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 are also among the most popular tech deals. And, find deals on waterproof Bluetooth speakers from JBL, Sony, and Bose.

Luggage and travel bags
We’re particularly excited about deals on luggage and travel bags. Well-made luggage doesn’t come cheap, but with this year’s Prime Day deals, travelers can save on two-, three-, and four-piece sets from trusted brands like Samsonite, American Tourister, Travelpro, and Delsey Paris. In addition to deals on durable suitcases, we’re eyeing discounted weekender bags with smart features like separate shoe compartments, storage cases, and easy-to-carry adjustable straps. One of our editors’ favorite travel-friendly brands to shop on Amazon, Bagsmart, is offering plenty of deals on its best-selling toiletry bags and makeup cases. With all these great sales on luggage, it’s easy to refresh your whole collection in time for end-of-summer travel plans.

Clothing and accessories
This week, you’ll find discounts on comfortable clothing staples, like exercise dresses with built-in shorts, linen maxis, and versatile midi dresses. Some of our editors’ go-to pairs of leggings from Ododos, The Gym People, Satina, and Ewedoos are on sale—these are all comfortable enough to wear on a long-haul flight. The Drop has plenty of deals on clothing, from denim jackets and trench coats to cozy cardigans and blazers. Men’s performance clothing is also discounted, with deals on tanks from Amazon Essentials, socks from Adidas, and everyday tees from True Classic. Shoppers can even find deals on chic sunglasses from Ray-Ban.
Comfortable shoes
Every traveler needs a comfortable pair of walking shoes in their suitcase. Whether you’re headed on a city walking tour or stroll around your neighborhood, a reliable, supportive pair of kicks is essential. Allbirds is known for its comfy, cushioned shoes that can withstand a full day of walking with no blisters in sight. A few of our favorite styles, like the Tree Dasher 2 and Tree Flyer 2, are currently discounted. We’re also eyeing deals on versatile white sneakers from Sperry, Rothy’s, and Puma, as well as dad shoes from New Balance. If you’re attending any weddings this summer, snag a discounted pair of comfortable heels from The Drop. And if you just need a comfortable sandal that won’t kill your feet, opt for a supportive pair from Dearfoams or Adidas.
Outdoor gear
If you’re planning on camping or hiking this summer, you might be in need of some new outdoor gear. One of our readers’ most-purchased items last Prime Day was LifeStraw’s personal water filter; the compact filter works as a regular drinking straw while instantly filtering out over 99.999 percent of bacteria, parasites, and sediment such as microplastics, silt, sand, and cloudiness. Plus, it’s small enough to fit in any backpack or fanny pack. Portable coolers from Igloo are on sale, as well as hiking packs from Thule and Camelbak. Outdoorsy travelers can also take advantage of deals on camping tents and chairs, solar power charging banks, waterproof phone pouches, and portable mugs.
Beauty and skincare
Some of the best deals this Prime Day are on premium beauty and skincare, including viral lip treatments from Laneige, Sunday Riley’s C.E.O. Glow vitamin C face oil, and Sol de Janeiro’s Bum Bum cream. We’re especially excited to see deals on the Shark FlexStyle styling system (originally $300) and the Dyson Airwrap bundle (originally $675). These TikTok-approved styling systems can dry, style, and curl your hair—but they do come with a hefty price tag. There’s no better time than Prime Day to snap up these hair tools. We’re also thrilled to see discounts on facial devices from NuFace—they help gently smooth, sculpt, and tone the skin. If you’re headed to the beach this summer, be sure to stock up on sunscreen from Supergoop, a favorite of several Traveler editors—especially its iconic Glowscreen and Unseen Sunscreen. Shoppers can also save on pimple patches from Hero Cosmetics—a lifesaver after plane air catches up to your skin.
Home goods
There are also steep discounts on home goods to score this Prime Day. The viral Hatch Restore 2 is an alarm clock, sound machine, and night-light all in one—and it’s currently marked down from $200 to just $145. There are plenty of deals on vacuums, too, including the best-selling Dyson cordless vacuum. More home deals we’re adding to our shopping carts: Discounted Keurig machines, air purifiers, and silk pillowcases from Blissy.
