Paula Boudes for PureWow

I’m a total sucker for things I never knew I needed, which is why I’m always hunting for handy new things to try at Amazon, be it an overnight face mask (was $19, now $15) or the latest product that went viral on TikTok. And while I’d gladly pay full price for any of the below items without batting an eye (they’re that good), everything on this list is marked down for Amazon Big Deal Days—happening now, Oct. 7 through Oct. 8. (Psst: You don't even need to be a Prime member to score some of the savings, although it doesn't hurt to sign up for a free trial to get free two-day shipping.) 

While digging through the best October Prime Day deals, I stumbled on a few standouts, including cult-favorite beauty deals—like the Grace & Stella Under Eye Masks (were $24, now $22)—and some seriously good fashion finds. I even found some items I never would have thought of (like this handy cordless leaf blower, was $100, now $60, and this magnetic phone charger, was $40, now $28) but now that I know they're out there, I have to have them. So below, find 40 editor-approved items to shop at a big discount now.

OK neat freaks, this one is for you. This electric spin scrubber offers a cordless, adjustable design that can tackle various surfaces, from bathrooms and bathtubs to countertops, stoves, sinks, glass and tiles. With three speed options (420r/min, 360r/min and 260r/min), it provides powerful scrubbing with a long-lasting, rechargeable battery that allows for roughly 90 minutes of continuous cleaning. Plus, the all-in-one design includes eight replaceable brush heads for different tasks, while its waterproof design ensures safe use anywhere in the home.

There’s a reason why Jessica Alba, Leona Lewis and PureWow's very own Beauty and Cultures Editor, Chelsea Candelario, rave about these eye masks. In her review, Candelario says "While they won’t drastically change the appearance of your under-eye area, I do still see a difference. I feel more energized (like the name suggests) and the area looks brighter than ever. I appreciate how they reduce my dark circles and maintain moisture." Plus, the eye masks come in a variety of packs (energizing! Illuminating! Moisturizing!), that you can snag on deal now.

Thanks to Anker’s MiniCell technology, this portable battery pack is compact and lightweight—easily fitting into your pocket or attaching to your phone without adding bulk. It features an ultra-strong magnet adhered to the back, so it snaps securely onto your iPhone, fitting the 12 through 16 series. (And with a USB-C cable included, you’ll never have to worry about running out of juice.)

If you've been wanting to upgrade your home security, you're definitely going to want to take advantage of the deal on this Ring camera. It's made for outdoor use, so it's weather-resistant and has a ton of cool features like night vision, two-way talk and motion alerts. Plus, it can be integrated with Alexa to make controlling it super easy.

Ever since we found out Medicube is a go-to for Meghan Markle when it comes to effective, affordable beauty products, both PureWow editors and readers have been shopping the brand like crazy. This time, I'm picking up these toner pads that are infused with ingredients intended to target dark spots and increase your skin's radiance.

Planning to set up an at-home gym? Reviewers swear by this dumbbell set that comes complete with a storage rack and five weight options (including 5-, 10-, 15-, 20- and 25-pounds). "Great buy, easy to put the stand together. Use the weight daily and it keeps everything organized in our home gym. The grip is perfect and the stand is quite durable. Really good deal for the price," wrote one buyer. So I'd suggest grabbing them before the deal ends.

Whether you need somewhere to stash your summer clothes during the cooler months or a solution for packing away seasonal decor, these lightweight storage bags are a great option. They have a clear window at the front to help you keep track of what's inside, and they come in a bunch of different sizes to suit your storage space. One reviewer shared they're "perfect for organizing my blankets and pillows," and that "the quality appears to be good." At this price, I'd give them a shot.

Made with a triple-weave polyester and a sewn-in liner, these blackout curtains block 100 percent of light rays (ideal if you’re a night-shift sleeper or just anti-sun before coffee). The thick, hotel-style drapes also reduce noise and insulate against heat or cold, making your space feel instantly cozier. Available in five lengths—45, 63, 84, 95 and 108 inches—they come in a generous 52-inch width per panel with silver grommets for easy hanging. Better yet, they come in a wide range of neutrals—from creamy white to charcoal gray—that actually look elevated, not dorm-y. And of course, they’re machine washable.

Considering that this shower oil has earned thousands of five-star reviews, I'd say it's worth picking up even without a sale—but getting it for less just makes it *that* much better. Why are Amazon shoppers loving it so much? I'll let this reviewer explain: "The oil feels good to the touch, has a nice, light smell of and foams very nicely, rinses out easily and doesn't leave the skin sticky or oily. My skin feels nice and smooth, retaining moisture for the whole day and, more importantly, helps lessen irritation and redness."

TikTok-famous for a reason, this multi-tasking steam mop heats up to 249 degrees Fahrenheit in under 20 minutes and comes with 13 attachments to tackle everything from tile grout to glass showers to sealed hardwood floors. It’s lightweight, ultra-flat for squeezing under sinks and furniture and features three adjustable steam settings (low, medium, high). “It leaves only the lightest layer of water on the floor,” one Amazon reviewer raves, adding that the flat, rectangular head “fits nicely into corners and under furniture.” Plus, it has a 16-foot cord and breaks down easily for storage.

So you want your home to smell amazing when guests come over, but don't want to risk an open flame with kids and pets running around? Allow me to introduce you to this genius candle warmer lamp. Not only does the warmth allow your candles to burn safely, but it's also intended to make them last longer. Plus, it has a timer which can be set to two, four or eight hours so you don't have to stress over remembering to blow it out. (Yeah, I'm gonna need one of these.)

The price on this 21-piece cookware set makes it *way* too good of a deal to pass up this Prime Day. Several pots and pans with matching lids and cooking utensils are included and, according to the brand and plenty of buyers, they're really easy to clean, too. "Cleaning up after cooking is hassle-free with this set. The non-stick surface ensures that food residue comes off easily, and the pieces are dishwasher-safe, saving me time and effort," shared one reviewer.

We're big fans of red light devices around here, so naturally, the deal on this compact one caught my attention. It features seven different light settings, plus a gentle vibration to help sculpt your skin. It's also heated, which can help to boost circulation and allow your products to absorb more easily. Here's why one reviewer loves it: "I love this facial product...I use mostly the red light, vibration and heat mode along with my skincare products. The device is so simple to use and does help your skincare products' absorption. I have used it for a short period of time but notice my skin feels fresh, toned and more importantly visually looks better."

You'll be so thankful you picked up this portable booster seat next time you're on-the-go with your little one. Not only is it lightweight and easy to bring everywhere, but it comes with a ton of functional features, too, like a double tray (the top portion is perfect for eating, and can be removed for easy cleaning) and mesh storage pockets at the back. It's also designed to be used from six months through three years old, so there's no doubt your family will get tons of use out of it.

Affordable? Check. Powerful? Check. Quiet and bladeless? Check, check. After racking up more than 6,000 five-star reviews, it makes sense why this fan is a best-seller. It has six speed settings with three modes, including normal, natural and sleep, and its 90-degree oscillation allows for uninterrupted cooling power. What’s more, its bladeless design makes it virtually noiseless: “When I first turned it on, it was so quiet that I wondered if I had even turned it on. And then, sitting more than 15 feet away, came the most refreshing breeze,” raves one reviewer. They also note: “The coolest feature is the natural option setting, which makes it feels like your living room is outside of your house, getting to feel varying levels of flowing breezes [as] they occur in actual nature (duh, hence the name). I could not be more pleased.”

A drizzle or a mist—your call. This sleek, dark-green olive oil dispenser lets you switch between pour and spray modes depending on the dish (air fryer veggies? Mist. Garlic toast? Pour). It’s designed to block sunlight and preserve freshness, plus it comes with eight waterproof labels so you can keep your avocado, sesame or EVOO bottles straight. Reviewers love the drip-free spout, built-in filter and how ridiculously easy it makes clean-up.

I recently learned about this new Medicube mask that's designed to seal all of your products in overnight, leaving your skin glowing by morning—so of course it's already in my cart. This wrapping mask is made to be the final step in your nightly skincare routine, then come morning, you simply peel it off. This one's infused with kojic acid, turmeric and collagen, but there are a few other options, too, like salmon PDRN and collagen milk (all of which have plenty of reviews singing their praises).

If sitting still isn’t your thing, this TikTok-famous chair—with a 25.6-inch wide seat—is made for curled-up, cross-legged, cat-in-lap WFH days. “Having a seat that’s bigger than just my thighs is honestly amazing,” says one TikToker, and I get it: The plush U-shaped cushion, 360-degree swivel, 30-degree tilt and 3.9-inch height adjustment make it ultra-customizable. It comes in eight upholstery options (hi, sleek leather), and the scratch-resistant fabric even holds up to chaos—like a kitten clawing it “for no reason,” per one Amazon reviewer. 

This bestselling weighted vest (available in sizes from 6 to 30 pounds) is made from ultra-durable neoprene rubber and stuffed with skin-friendly iron sand for even distribution and joint-safe training. The reflective stripes are great for night runs, while the cushioned shoulder straps and adjustable buckle keep things snug yet comfortable on chest sizes from 31.5" to 45." It’s breathable, doesn’t chafe and includes two storage pockets (one zip, one mesh) so you can stash your phone or keys mid-workout. Basically, it’s built for everything from lifting to lunges, without weighing down your form.

Take all of the work out of removing leaves from your car, driveway, sidewalk—I could keep going—with this handy cordless leaf blower. "I’m really impressed with this handheld blower. It works exceptionally well and has a lot of power for its size—perfect for clearing leaves, dust, or even light debris quickly and easily. One of the standout features is the inclusion of two rechargeable batteries, which means I can keep working without having to stop and recharge. It also comes with a handy case that makes storage and transport simple," wrote one reviewer.

You may have seen this stain treater spray go viral on TikTok, and now is definitely the time to see if it lives up to the hype while it’s on sale. It's praised for its ability to quickly and effectively eliminate all sorts of stains—from food and mud to even blood, making it an essential for parents. Oh, and it’s free from peroxide, chlorine bleach and phosphates, and is 100 percent biodegradable with a neutral pH, so it's safe to use around little ones and furry friends. Just spray, blot, and launder to see stubborn stains vanish—even the deep-set ones like berry juice, baby food, formula, ketchup and spaghetti sauce.

This editor-approved carpet cleaner is TikTok-famous for a reason: It can restore filthy sofas, crumb-filled carpets and coffee-stained car seats with a wave of its included brush head. Thanks to its compact and lightweight design, you can easily maneuver it from room to room—despite the fact that the tank can hold up to 48 ounces of cleaner at a time. It also comes with a self-cleaning hose and a stain remover spray.

Whether you’re a packing pro or always struggle to get your suitcase to close, these cubes can help. Each set comes with eight cubes in various sizes: three large, three medium and two small—plus, a mini toiletry bag, laundry bag *and* a shoe bag to keep all your stuff perfectly organized. Even better, the breathable mesh tops let you see what's inside without having to open them, and they’re made from lightweight, durable nylon fabric with sturdy zippers that ensure everything stays in place while you’re on the move.

If your step count’s been slacking since WFH became a thing, this under-desk treadmill is your comeback moment. It folds flat for storage, goes from 0.5 to 5 MPH and supports up to 300 pounds—whether you're speed walking during Zoom meetings or casually strolling through your rewatch of Love Island. The real kicker? It’s one of the only walking pads with a three-level incline (up to eight percent) to actually break a sweat from your home office. It’s quiet, compact and app-connected, with a remote and phone stand so you can track stats or binge while you burn.

These minimalist planters are doing the most—so you don’t have to. Each pot comes with a built-in watering reservoir, mesh drainage holes and a cotton wick that keeps your plants hydrated without drowning them (aka you can forget to water for a week and they’ll still thrive). I also love the matte green finish, the speckled base that hides the self-watering tray and the fact that they come in five graduated sizes for everything from your aloe to your monstera. The saucers also twist off for easy cleaning, and the whole set is made from lightweight, recyclable plastic. 

If you haven’t yet joined the silk and satin pillowcases club—and experienced the powers they have to give you good hair and skin days—you’ll want to start with this one from Bedsure. Not only does satin reduce hair breakage and keep it tangle-free—so you can forget about frizzy flyaways in the morning—but the fabric also works to maintain hair moisture, which makes it a go-to for thick, curly or dry strands. And aside from hair protection, the smooth texture protects your skin from sleep lines and wrinkle formation.

PureWow editors are obsessed with this compact and portable steamer, which we tested and found to be gentle, yet extremely effective at getting wrinkles out of even our most delicate clothing. The device heats up in as little as 30 seconds, while its foldable and leakproof design allows you to steam vertically and horizontally without dripping water on your garments. And if you end up loving it so much you can't stand being without it? It folds up effortlessly to fit in your luggage or weekender bag.

Think of this as an iced latte for your face. Packed with caffeine, retinol and plant-based hydrators, this cooling balm instantly de-puffs and brightens—so you look like you slept eight hours, even if you were doomscrolling until 2 a.m. The solid stick format makes it spill-proof and travel-friendly, and the sheer pink tint gives your under-eyes a subtle, I-woke-up-like-this glow. Per the brand, the goal is refreshed, not concealed.

Why does this wireless audio transmitter have more than 1,000 five-star reviews? Because it allows you to transmit audio from various devices using just an audio jack that connects to AirPods, earbuds or wireless headphones. Just take it from this shopper, who raves: “Flew on a 9.5-hour flight to Honolulu and didn't have to charge it at all while on the plane. I connected my Bose earbuds to it at home before leaving and the process took 30 seconds with no issues. Plugged this right into the Delta entertainment screen and it recognized my earbuds. I found there was no delay with the talking on screen and the sounds were immaculate.”

Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay swears by waterproof headphones. “Bone conduction headphones are becoming more and more popular,” she says. “As a runner, I love them because I can zone out and listen to music or podcasts while still being aware of my surroundings (safety first!). This version goes the extra mile by being waterproof with a built-in MP3 making it perfect for swimmers or people training for a triathlon or Ironman, allowing them to go from the water to the bike to the street more seamlessly.” With an average battery life of 8.5 hours and 8GB of memory that can store up to 2,000 songs, these headphones were designed to go the distance.

This narrow, freestanding shoe cabinet blends a minimalist woodgrain finish with smart storage in tight spaces. At just 9.25 inches deep and 31.5 inches wide, it’s perfect for hallways or entryways where every inch counts. Two flip drawers open to reveal double-decker compartments (with removable dividers to fit boots or heels), plus there’s an open shoe rack on the bottom and a tray-style top shelf for keys or decor. The sturdy MDF frame rests on slim black metal legs for extra durability, and the entire piece stands 39.37 inches tall. Assembly is also straightforward, with all parts and instructions included.

“I've been seriously considering getting my own nut milk maker, considering the price of my go-to almond milk lately,” says Stephanie Maida, PureWow’s senior commerce editor. “My bestie recently bought one and cannot stop raving about it, so I'm eyeing this pick that Amazon shoppers have been flocking to.” The popular machine is equipped with touch control, allowing you to blend your nuts into a 32-ounce batch of smooth, creamy plant-based milk in minutes.

This lightweight, foldable chaise lounge is handy to keep on your patio (or packed in your car for an impromptu road trip) no matter the time of year. It features durable textilene mesh stretched over a rust-resistant, powder-coated steel frame with anti-slip feet for stability. The reclining system includes eight positions (including lie-flat), and the 71-inch length supports up to 300 pounds. It also comes with a plush headrest and built-in side handles for easy carrying, folding flat in seconds. Choose from more than 15 colorways to match your vibe, from neon pink to neutral khaki.

This top-rated water flosser is here to save you a trip to the dentist. It has seven 360-degree rotating tips for multiple family members, as well as ten massage settings for all of your oral hygiene needs. And what's so great, beside the 90-second run time, is that the 22-ounce reservoir is detachable for easy cleaning and refilling. And with a 4.7- by 3.8-inch footprint, it will even fit on a crowded bathroom countertop.

Small space? Big stuff? This affordable cart is the vertical hero your bathroom/kitchen/laundry closet didn’t know it needed. At just under five inches wide, it slips between your washer and dryer (or beside your toilet), while four deep trays, side hooks and 360-degree wheels make it easy to stash and dash. Think: snacks, serums or extra rolls of TP. The best part is that two locking wheels keep it in place, and the whole thing snaps together without tools. 

If your silverware drawer’s a black hole of sporks and broken chopsticks, this expandable bamboo organizer is your new kitchen hero. It stretches from 10 to 15 inches wide, with up to seven compartments for cutlery, cooking tools—even rogue wine stoppers. The natural bamboo is smooth, splinter-free and surprisingly chic, and the layout makes it easy to see everything at a glance (no more rummaging mid-sauté). Life hack: It can also double as a sock or jewelry organizer if your dresser drawers are just as chaotic.

This two-pack of clear, stackable under-sink organizers is another godsend for anyone tired of digging through a chaos cabinet. Made from thick acrylic and reinforced with stainless steel rods, each unit features two tiers and built-in dividers—aka the key to keeping hair masks out of your toothpaste zone. The larger unit is tall enough for bulk lotion bottles, while the shorter one is ideal for hand towels or smaller jars. Best part? They're stackable (up to three units) and come with non-slip silicone feet, so nothing topples when you pull out a drawer at 7 a.m. while half-asleep.

Don’t let murky water ruin your next backpacking trip—or, worse, your stomach. This pocket-sized powerhouse filters up to 4,000 liters (that’s five years of safe water) using a hollow fiber membrane with pores so microscopic, bacteria, parasites, microplastics and even sediment can’t squeeze through. You just sip, and it does the rest—removing 99.999999 percent of bacteria, 99.999 percent of parasites and 99.999 percent of microplastics, per the brand.

Don't miss your chance to save big on this top-rated eye serum from Dr. Dennis Gross that's designed to treat your skin in three ways—firming it, boosting hydration and reducing signs of wrinkles. The serum is packed with ingredients like retinol, ferulic acid, bakuchiol and rambutan, and can be used both in the morning and at night, per the brand. And according to shoppers, it's totally worth the buy. "This is by far the most effective eye cream that I’ve ever used, it’s lightweight with no greasiness, perfect for night time doesn’t cause irritation. My fine line improved dramatically," wrote one reviewer. Meanwhile, another declared that it's "the best product for your eyes. Your skin changes so quickly."

It's hard to believe it's already time to start thinking about holiday parties, but if you're the type of guest who loves to bring along a good bottle of wine or champagne for everyone to enjoy, you aren't going to want to miss the savings on this chiller bucket from BrüMate that will keep it perfectly cool. It's designed to be leak-proof and to fit most wine, champagne and liquor bottles, and the brand's BevGuard technology can keep drinks cold for 48+ hours, or hot for up to four hours. I can confirm this tech really does work, too, as I've used a similar design from the brand to keep mulled wine steaming in the past, and it was still perfectly hot when I poured it into my cup.
