Amazon Prime Day is no longer one glorious day of deals just for Prime members. The flagship Prime Day now spans four days in July, and Amazon has added another annual event in October, too. This year, Prime Big Deal Days returns tomorrow, spanning October 7 and 8. Amazon says its October Prime Day event will deliver millions of deals across categories, giving customers a head start on holiday shopping.

Before the sale begins tomorrow, it’s worth mapping out what gifts you need to buy or which household goods need restocking. But if you’re eager to get an even earlier jump on the holiday shopping, we have some good news. Early deals are already starting to creep in. There are some real gems already available to buy before the chaos of Prime Day takes hold.

Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 denote an all-time low price.

Best Apple deal

Why we picked this

“The second-generation AirPods Pro offer top-tier sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, and a battery life of about seven hours per charge. They’re our current favorite earbuds for Apple users, though that may soon change once we finish testing the newer AirPods Pro 3, which have a different design and five swappable ear tips (up from three), even better active noise cancellation, Live Translation, and extra health features. They’re a pretty significant upgrade on paper, but if price is your biggest concern, the AirPods Pro 2 are $79 cheaper for the time being.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best headphone and earbud deal

Why we picked this

“In the lead up to Amazon’s October Prime Day, we’re looking across categories for the best early savings. One of our favorite categories — headphones and earbuds — is looking a little sparse when it comes to deals, but that’s not to say that there are no good early deals. We’ve found a few great ones.

Ahead of Prime Day, find the Beats Studio Buds for 47% off. That saves you $70 off its typical $149.95 MSRP. The Beats Studio Buds deliver well-balanced sound and active noise cancellation in a small package. Plus, like AirPods, they have easy connectivity to iOS systems, but unlike AirPods, they’re also well-suited for Android users.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Best laptop deal

Why we like it

“The 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7 with a Snapdragon X Elite chip is our favorite Windows laptop for most people. It’s beautiful, it’s about as fast as an M4 MacBook Air, and it lasts for nearly 23 hours on a single charge — that’s two longer than the M4 Pro-powered MacBook Pro, the longest-lasting MacBook we’ve tried. (Before you buy it, just double-check that its powerful ARM-based CPU is compatible with your go-to apps.) The black variant with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage is marked down to $972 ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, which is a 31% discount on its $1,399.99 MSRP. It very briefly fell to $918.47 in late September, but this current offer beats its Prime Day deal in July.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best TV deal

Why we picked this

“The most affordable 65-inch QLED TV we’re seeing so far is the same one that was the cheapest 65-inch during Prime Day over the summer — but it’s even cheaper now. Snag Insignia’s QF Series QLED for $299.99 versus $329.99 in July.

If you’ve never had a QLED TV before, this XL Insignia model is a great low-stakes opportunity to upgrade. Customers in the reviews seem to be more than satisfied with its picture quality and color vibrancy for the price. As a budget QLED, you can’t expect this model to stunt in HDR like a premium Samsung QLED would. But compared to your old LED TV, you’ll quickly see the difference those quantum dots are making — they’ll especially pop when watching football in the daytime.” — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best Kindle deal

Why we picked this

“The best Kindle deal isn’t actually on one of Amazon’s e-readers. Instead, Amazon is offering three months of Kindle Unlimited totally free. Think of it like a streaming service, except for e-books. Joining Kindle Unlimited gives you access to the Kindle Unlimited library, from which you can borrow. But unlike the library, there’s no due date on these borrowed books; the only restriction is that you can borrow up to 20 books at a time.

Leading up to and during Prime Big Deal Days, you can join Kindle Unlimited for three months — totally free. The promotion is available to everyone, even if you’ve already used up your free trial. This is a $35.97 value that you can score without spending a penny. Plus, you don’t actually need a Kindle to enjoy Kindle Unlimited. You can read from the Kindle library on your smartphone, tablet, or web browser.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Best Amazon device deal

Why we picked this

“There’s no way around it: A shit ton of people are going to buy AirPods this October Prime Day. But for those who aren’t married to Apple’s earbuds (or how often they seem to break), just know that the latest version of Amazon’s Echo Buds with ANC are just $34.99 after a 71% discount. That beats their Prime Day price from July by $10, and you could get five pairs of Echo Buds for less than the $199.99 sale price of the AirPods Pro 2.

Amazon’s noise cancellation doesn’t level with the effectiveness of those AirPods or other top noise-cancelling earbuds, but casual music or podcast listeners may not care at this price point.” — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best robot vacuum deal

Why we picked this

“When it comes to robot vacuums, I always turn to Mashable’s in-house robot vacuum expert, Leah Stodart. When I asked her about these deals, she pointed out that iRobot marked down the Roomba Plus 405 to $399.99, making it one of the most affordable combo robot vacuums and mops. That saves you $265.01 off its list price of $665 for 40% off.

The Roomba Plus 405 includes both vacuum and mopping abilities, featuring strong suction to really scrub at dirt and grime. It features four cleaning levels that you can adjust from the iRobot app. Plus, its dock not only empties the vacuum, but even cleans the mopping pads for a truly hands-free experience.

While we’re not sure what other combo vacuum and mop deals are coming during Prime Big Deal Days, we can safely say that the Roomba Plus 405 is one of the best deals you can get ahead of the event.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Best smartwatch deals

Why we picked this

“The Garmin vívoactive 5 was recently replaced as the newest model by the vívoactive 6, but the 5 still holds a special place in our hearts. This is what we’d call a perfect all-rounder fitness tracker, perfect for tracking long runs and cycles while also still having a great range of lifestyle features like sleep tracking, stress levels, and body battery. It’s also a vast improvement over the vívoactive 4, and even has a bright AMOLED display, making it appear even more high-tech.” — Lois Mackenzie, Mashable contributor

Best boring but essential deal

“Prime Day sales are the perfect time to restock your home or apartment with essentials like paper towels, cleaning products, batteries, and health necessities. An always-reliable Prime Day deal is Crest Whitestrips, and once again, they’re on a great discount before we head into October’s sale. The 22-treatment set has 44 strips in total, and it’s on sale for $29.99, which works out to a sweet 35% discount compared to the usual price of $45.99. Plus, this deal qualifies for Proctor and Gamble’s buy two, get $5 off coupon deal, so if you snag two boxes of Whitestrips, you’ll be saving even more.” — Lauren Allain, Mashable contributor

Best Lego deal

Why we like it

“For those looking to get a head start on holiday shopping, Lego’s advent calendars are a very fun pick-up. It’s even better when they can be found on sale. Right now, the 2025 Lego Minecraft Advent Calendar is down to its best price at Amazon, dropping from $44.99 to $38. If you’re looking to grab one for the kids to enjoy over the holidays, now is a great time to jump on it.” — Hannah Hoolihan, Mashable contributor

Best portable power station deal

Why we like it

“A portable power station is one of the most useful items you can buy for your home this year. They’ve seen major advancements in both battery technology and user-friendliness recently and the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station is a standout model. It’s an idea combination of power (1,056Wh), plenty of ports, and it’s on sale ahead of Prime Day for $429, which is the lowest price Amazon has ever offered.

When the power gets knocked out by a storm this fall or winter, you’ll be able to use the C1000 to keep phones and laptops charged up. You can also use it to power up the coffee maker in the morning or plug in the WiFi router so you won’t have to suck down data.

Come summer, the Anker Solix C1000 can come along on camping trips and if you snag a solar panel, you’ll be in line for unlimited power.” — Lauren Allain, Mashable contributor
