Amazon’s 2025 Prime Big Deal Days (colloquially known as October Prime Day) is just one day away. The 48-hour sale kicks off Oct. 7 and gives Prime members the chance to save up to 40% on products across nearly every category. Our team of deals editors has a combined 15 years of experience navigating Prime Day events. Here are the best early Prime Day deals we found that are actually worth kickstarting your shopping today—including a rare discount on our favorite blender, the Vitamix 5200 and a steep 47% off on these popular Beats Studio Buds.
While the bulk of deals will go live once the actual sale begins, we’ve been seeing a number of solid offers from brands like Crest, Shark and Anker—so if you’re eager to get a head start, you can right now. Read on for the best early Prime Day deals our editors rounded up based on extensive price history research.
Check out our Amazon Storefront for more editor-curated deals worth browsing.
Take 26% Off Our Favorite Blender Overall
The Vitamix 5200 is a well-known workhorse in the kitchen and our pick for the best blender overall. It’s powerful, durable and consistent. Unlike some blenders, it can handle hot foods as well as cold, and it comes backed by an impressive seven-year warranty. Whether you love a morning smoothie or you’re gearing up for holiday hosting, this is a kitchen essential.
Why It’s A Good Deal: We don’t see discounts on this blender often, and this matches the best price we’ve seen in 2025.
Score These Editor-Approved Earbuds For Less Than $100
“For around $100, the Beats Studio Buds offer much more than their price suggests,” says our tech editor, who tested these earbuds for over a month. The water- and sweat-resistant earbuds offer two listening modes: Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Transparency mode, allowing you to alternate between both options for optimal sound.
Why It’s A Good Deal: The discount on these noise-cancelling headphones matches their lowest price ever, and the best we’ve seen since mid-July.
Take 20% Off Our Pick For The Best Portable Charger
Our pick for the best portable charger, the Anker MagGo Power Bank is incredibly easy to use, MagSafe-compatible and has a USB-C port. It can wirelessly charge your phone up to 50% in 44 minutes, making it an ideal on-the-go companion (perfect for long travel days over the holidays).
Why It’s A Good Deal: This discount is only $5 shy of the best price we’ve seen for this model in 2025.
Save 37% On This Variant Of Our Favorite Walking Pad Overall
This popular Goplus treadmill offers many of the same features of our favorite walking pad overall, including reaching speeds up to 7.5 mph for light running, a 265-pound weight capacity and pop-up side rails to help with stability. The model also has a slim profile that’s great for smaller spaces and a built-in Bluetooth speaker.
Why It’s A Good Deal: This discount matches the best price we’ve seen for this model on Amazon.
Try Our Favorite Vitamin C Serum For Acne Prone Skin For 20% Less
A good vitamin C serum is a skincare essential. This La Roche-Posay formula doesn’t feel sticky, helps minimize pores, tackle acne and adds a touch of radiance to your skin. It has a heavy scent, which hasn’t irritated my usually very sensitive skin, but I do find it especially powdery and pungent. If scents don’t bother you, it’s an otherwise great formula.
Why It’s A Good Deal: This is one of the better prices we’ve seen on this serum since April.
Take 16% Off This Best-Selling Advent Calendar
Lego devotees wait for the newest advent calendars every year. This year’s lineup includes long-time favorites like Star Wars, Harry Potter and Minecraft—and most are on sale already. It’s a fun way to build some anticipation for the holidays and your Minecraft-loving kid will get 300 new pieces to add to their collection, including eight figurines.
Why It’s A Good Deal: Lego advent calendars are super popular and time-sensitive kits. The current discount also matches the best price we’ve seen for this set.
Save 35% On Our Favorite Teeth Whitening Strips
Fast, convenient and affordable (especially on sale), Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects is our favorite teeth whitening strips kit. The set is accessible, portable and you can see results faster than some other options out there.
Why It’s A Good Deal: This matches the best price we’ve seen for this kit so far in 2025.
This Matches The Best Price We've Seen For The Kindle Paperwhite
The new Kindle Paperwhite has a larger, glare-free display, turns pages faster and is waterproof. The kids version is slightly more expensive than the base model. However, it includes a longer warranty, a protective case, six months of Amazon Kids+ and comes free from ads. While you can utilize parental controls, the device isn’t limited to children’s content, so it’s also a great option for adults.
Why It’s A Good Deal: This discount matches the best price we’ve seen on the newer model this year.
Get Our Favorite Home Security Cam For 30% Off
This floodlight cam is easy to use, has a bright and loud alarm and a bird’s eye view camera with 2K video resolution for monitoring your home. If you have existing Alexa tech, the cam can sync up for even easier voice control. The kit was designed for simple installation, but it’s not battery powered and requires a hardwire connection.
Why It’s A Good Price: This is the best price we’ve seen for this model on Amazon.
Save 27% On The Best Portable Carpet Cleaner For Pets
Lightweight and easy to empty, this portable carpet cleaner is designed with pet owners in mind. The model has special attachments specifically for handing pet messes, including a separate chamber to hold dirty liquids (re: potential pet waste) so that it doesn’t mix with the rest of your cleaner.
Why It’s A Good Deal: This deal matches the best price we’ve seen for the cleaner since December last year.
This Brightening Serum Is On Sale For The First Time This Year
Featuring ingredients like squalane, glycerin and the brand’s patented Viniferine (a vitamin C alternative), this serum helps reduce the appearance of dark spots for a brighter, more even-toned complexion. The popular French skincare product is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and should be applied twice daily for the best results.
Why It’s A Good Deal: This is the first time the best-selling serum has gone on sale this year.
Enjoy 20% Off This Play System For The Whole Family
This play system is a staple at deals and coupons writer Bianca Alvarez’s family gatherings. “It’s a great way to get everyone involved since there are so many interactive games for a variety of ages, from toddlers to adults," she says. “Plus, it’s small and compact, so it makes it easy for us to travel with and take from house to house.”
Why It’s A Good Deal: The Nex Playground is $20 away from its lowest price ever on Amazon.
Amazon carries a wide array of tech from big brands like Apple and Bose, along with its own popular line of TVs, smart speakers and more. We’ve been seeing notable drops on best-selling items, like 40% off the Roku Streaming Stick Plus 2025.
Whether you’re looking for a high-end countertop appliance or new bedding, Amazon has a robust catalog of home products. Step up your coffee setup for the holidays with 19% off our pick for the best espresso machine and 20% off our favorite coffee grinder for espresso.
