Top early deals to shop now:

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 and portable chargers tend to be some of the most popular items to shop on Prime Day. This means these tech favorites are likely to sell out quickly, making it even more important to snag them now before the sale officially starts. Included in Amazon’s early deals are editor-approved headphones from JBL, Soundcore, and Apple, and portable chargers from Inui. We’re also bookmarking early discounts on Amazon products like the Echo Pop and Echo Buds, as well as digital cameras and mini security systems.
Luggage and travel bags
We’re particularly excited about deals on luggage and travel bags. Well-made luggage doesn’t run 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, 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 early 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 shoes
You’ll also find discounts on comfortable clothing and shoes, like the Anrabess exercise dress with built-in shorts and one of our editors’ go-to pairs of leggings from The Gym People. If you’re attending any weddings this summer, don’t sleep on dress options from Amazon. A few of our favorite wedding guest dresses from Amazon are on sale, so you can look chic at upcoming ceremonies without breaking the bank on a dress you might only wear once. Men’s performance clothing is also discounted, with deals on shorts and tanks from Amazon Essentials.

Outdoor gear
If you’re planning on camping or hiking this summer, you could probably use a few new pieces of 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. Outdoorsy travelers will also find deals on solar power charging banks, waterproof phone pouches, and portable mugs.
Beauty and skincare
Deals on premium beauty and skincare have already began. Save on the best-selling Crest 3D Whitestrips and pimple patches from Hero Cosmetics—a life saver after plane air catches up to your skin. The Shark FlexStyle styling system (originally $300) is currently on sale, as well as more Shark hair tools and the Dyson Airstrait straightener.
