Amazon’s second Prime Day of the year, officially dubbed the Prime Big Deal Days, is returning once more. And while the savings event doesn’t officially begin until Tuesday, October 8, Amazon has already started rolling out early deals across all major categories, including best-selling tech, comfortable clothing and shoes, luggage and bags, outdoor gear, and more. We’re even seeing early deals on big ticket items like noise-canceling headphones and luggage sets, as well as travel essentials like toiletry bags, packing cubes, and neck pillows. The earlier you start shopping, the better your chances are to snag popular items before they sell out. Below, we’ve rounded up the best Prime Day deals travelers can add to their shopping carts right now.
For even more Prime Day sales, head to Traveler‘s Amazon Storefront.

Travel accessories
There are tons of early deals on small, practical items for travelers, whether you’re in need of a new sleep mask, compressible packing cubes, or a supportive neck pillow. If you’re afraid of losing your luggage (every traveler’s worst nightmare), take advantage of discounts on smart tags from Tile. Many of our tried-and-true portable steamers are on sale, too, including editor-tested favorites like the Nesugar handheld steamer and the Hilife steamer.
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 speakers, and wearable tech tend to be among the most popular items to shop on Prime Day. Luckily, some of these top deals have already began, including bestsellers from Apple, Beats, JBL, and Soundcore. Also on our radar: instant digital cameras and portable chargers.

Luggage and travel bags
Well-made luggage doesn’t come cheap, but with these deals below, Prime members can save on travel bags for every type of trip, whether you need something for weekend getaways or a far-flung two-week-long vacation. If you’re shopping for a new traveler or need to upgrade your whole collection, invest in an expandable luggage set from Anyzip. For shorter trips or if you need a new personal item for flights, grab a new weekender bag or backpack. Travelers will also find discounts on toiletry bags, including an editor favorite from Bagsmart.
Clothing and shoes
Fall clothing staples and comfortable shoes are also among this year’s early deals. Save on stretchy leggings for hikes, versatile exercise dresses, and packable jackets for camping trips. There are also deals on memory foam slippers and fall boots.
Outdoor gear
If you’re planning on camping or hiking this fall, you might be in need of some new outdoor gear. Amazon is offering discounts on lots of great gear, from waterproof phone pouches and charging banks to headlamps and portable stoves.
Beauty and skincare
Some of the best Prime Day discounts tend to be on premium beauty and skincare, and luckily, several of those deals have already started. We’re especially excited to see the Shark FlexStyle styling system (originally $300) on sale. This TikTok-approved styling system can dry, style, and curl your hair—but it does come with a hefty price tag. There’s no better time than now to snap up this popular hair tool.
