Not to be dramatic, but the moment October hits, there’s one thing I absolutely need to stock up on. Not a pumpkin spice latte, fuzzy socks, or flannels.
It’s candles. Simple. Elegant. Classic. A pretty glass jar is mandatory. Long burn time is a must. Preferably ones that smell like something that makes a guest wonder what sort of delicious fall dish is in the oven (I don’t bake, so it’s the illusion). The kind of candle in question? A Yankee Candle, aka the gold standard of “Wow, your house smells amazing.”
And right now, by some autumnal miracle, these stunning, giant candles are 40% off the day before October Prime Day. There’s just one catch: This deal is only for Prime members. So if you want your whole house smelling like spiced pumpkins, cinnamon apple sticks, and cranberry chutney, now’s the time to sign up and save.
FYI: A Prime membership gets you more than delicious air to breathe. Shoppers also score free same-day and two-day delivery, access to streaming services like Prime Video, and of course, tons of exclusive deals on everything on their shopping list and then some.
With Prime Big Deal Days kicking off tomorrow and running through October 8, the timing couldn’t be better. This is your chance to stock up, save big, and set the mood for fall.
This isn’t just a candle. It’s a shortcut to fall. The Yankee Candle Large Jar is 22 ounces of pure seasonal serotonin, disguised as a beautifully nostalgic glass jar you’ll want to hold onto. With up to 150 hours of burn time, you should be able to enjoy it all season long and maybe even longer. Crafted with premium paraffin wax and natural fiber wicks, it burns evenly and fills the home fast. Choose from delightful scents, from Cinnamon Stick to Cranberry Chutney to Balsam & Cedar. Or do what I do, and stock up on several before the guests arrive.

This annual Amazon sale — which we like to call October Prime Day — is similar to the well-known July event: it’s a two-day blow out shopping event with deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials. But the timing of this sale makes all the difference; shoppers can also score pre-Black Friday deals on top-rated toys and sell-out-risk gifts before the holiday rush.
Amazon’s fall Prime Day event only lasts two days. This sale starts on Tuesday October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PT and runs through Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends on Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so east-coasters have until about 3 a.m. on October 9 their time to shop the deals.
Prime Big Deal Days is a member-exclusive sale event. Interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to try Prime, and its many benefits, with no strings attached.
Already familiar with July Prime Day? Then you’ll love Amazon’s fall version! Like its summer spectacular sale, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days offers major discounts for 48 hours, but with a bigger focus on holiday gifts, toys and tech to shop ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
From reporting on Amazon sales for years, we can tell you for certain that October Prime Day is the ideal period to stock up on household essentials, score great deals on gift-worthy items and toys, take advantage of Black Friday-level discounts on tech and appliances, refill your skincare empties, and comb through the massive catalog of Amazon best-sellers.
We certainly think so! October Prime Day is a great chance to score Black Friday-worthy deals on thousands of best-sellers, including everything from big-ticket tech to Post reader-favorite trash bags. Our team diligently sorts through all the offers to find you the very best items to grab on sale.
Already wondering when Amazon’s next Prime Day is? Prime Day takes place in July each year, so it’s safe to assume it will take place in mid-July 2026 — similar to previous years. Can’t wait to shop more Amazon deals? Look out for Amazon’s Black Friday sales to kick off the holiday season in November.
