Amazon Prime Day Has the Best Back-to-School Deals & These 10 Finds Prove It

Send your preschooler or kindergartener to school with this cute (and perfectly proportioned) bento lunchbox, which has four compartments: one large (fits small sandwiches and snacks), one medium (great for fruit and crackers) and two small (fits veggies). Everything is dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze at the end of the school day. And, best of all, shoppers find that it is surprisingly durable—surviving drops without cracking or busting open. Plus, there are lots of colors to choose from.

Between all the kids’ activities (you signed them up for lacrosse, violin, volunteering at the senior center, swim team and the after-school business club) and your own job, you feel lucky you have time to even microwave some semblance of a dinner and pack a lunch so you’re not blowing $150 a week on takeout. Take advantage of Prime Day 2025 and hop on the meal prep train with this 24-piece storage container set. They’re made from ultra-tough borosilicate glass and are dishwasher, oven, microwave and freezer safe. The airtight silicone seal prevents spills and leaks. It’s a popular set with buyers, having racked up over 17,000 ratings and an average of 4.5 stars.

They’ll be the envy of the entire preschool when they show up with this sleek Hydro Flask. (And also, the most hydrated.) With multiple colors, including Wisteria and Dew Blue, this vacuum-insulated stainless steel water bottle will keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours. Plus, the bottle is dishwasher safe.

Crocs may run you $50, but at least they're currently on sale for Prime Day! These clogs, which reviewers have noted are super comfy, have a fun design and come in five colors with grippy soles that can be worn practically everywhere, from the playground to swim practice.

When it comes to memory, writing things by hand trumps typing on a keyboard. But these days, everything is digital. Have your college student ditch the laptop and opt for the Samsung Galaxy A9+ tablet instead. The 11-inch tablet has a 12-hour battery life and 64GB of memory—plenty of storage for those copious notes. Plus, the included S pen will allow them to take notes by hand, annotate documents and continue the pastime of bored students for a millenia: doodle. When they’re off the clock, they can enjoy watching their favorite shows and listening to their Spotify playlists, thanks to the razor-sharp display and Dolby Atmos surround sound.

Nothing says “back to school” like a fresh pair of shoes, and your elementary schooler will need some so they can tear up the blacktop in the fall. (What beats a friendly game of wall ball, foursquare or good-old-fashioned tag?) There's a variety of sizes, and the shoes are available in over a dozen colors. Parents also rave that the sneakers are comfortable, durable and great for kiddos with wide feet.

It’s hard to deny the convenience of plastic storage bags. They hold everything. The PB&J sandwich. A handful of carrots. Just the right amount of chips. And, no cleaning required. However…they’re not the best when it comes to being planet-friendly, and that’s where Stasher bags come in. These are reusable, resealable, dishwasher-safe silicone storage bags. (And did I mention they’re also microwave and oven safe?) I took them for a test when evaluating the best sustainable brands, and can attest that they held up beautifully.

If your teen’s laptop is wheezing its last breath (and threatening to combust), Prime Day 2025 is the time for an upgrade. The 15.6-inch Lenovo V15 features an innovative FHD screen and 24GB of RAM storage. Windows 11 Pro is also now equipped with a generative AI assistant, Copilot, and the 5500U processor is a speedy one.

This printer checks all the boxes, but goes beyond: It’s easy to set up (expect to spend no more than 15 minutes), is compact (the dimensions are just 12 x 17 inches) and operates wirelessly, which means you can just as easily print from your computer as you can from your phone (the HP app, plus a wifi connection is required),” writes PureWow’s senior director of special projects and royals Rachel Bowie of a similar model. “As for the printer’s actual output, it prints in both black and white and color in under 10 seconds and also includes the ability to scan and copy.”

A new backpack is always a fun way to kick off a new school year, and you can’t go wrong with Herschel’s classic silhouette. The laptop compartment will accommodate a 15- or 16-inch computer, and the fabric is made from recycled water bottles. Students can choose from over five colors, including Black Tonal, Ivy Green and Navy.
