Unless you live under a rock, you know that it's Amazon Prime Day. Well actually, TOMORROW is Prime Day but deals start today at 9pm ET. To celebrate their birthday, Amazon has started this annual tradition of thanking their Prime members with amazing deals. I love Amazon. As a busy working mom, it's my BFF for when I need the unexpected - green leggings for a role in a school play, felt for a Girl Scout project, the best hair detangler on earth for Emerson's rats nest, six bottles of clear school glue for a school event. I love it for making shopping easy - I have recurring purchases for popular home products like eco-friendly detergent, sweet almond oil, and plant-based protein shakes. It's a given for things like Kindles, e-books, regular books, and music; but I also love it for finding designer fashion and name brand beauty and skincare. Prime Day is a great time to stock up on all these categories and more. While some of their deals are lameola, here's the ones I think are pretty fantastic:
First and foremost, if you're not a member of Prime, you need to sign up to get these deals. Prime more than pays for itself in my opinion. Along with free speedy shipping and returns on so many products, you also have access to Prime video for great movies, TV shows, and more. Click here to sign up.
- If you don't have a Kindle and want one, TODAY IS THE DAY. Amazon is offering $30 off the classic Kindle, $30 off the Kindle Paperwhite (I have this and LOVE it, read my original review in this post), and $30 off the Kindle Fire HD 8 (which has Alexa built in). You can also get $20 off the Kindle Fire HD 7 (also with Alexa), and $50 off the Kindle Voyage.
- Audible is on sale! I love Audible, it's great for long commutes. Today only, get 40% off six months of Audible using this link.
- Kindle Unlimited is also on sale. Like a library for your device, with Kindle Unlimited you have access to millions of titles. This link will give you 25% off a 6-month subscription, 33% off a 12-month subscription, or 40% off a 24-month subscription.
- The Amazon Echo is on sale 50% off - this is amazing and the lowest price it's ever been. You can also get Echo Dots for only $34.99, again the lowest price ever seen for this product.
Even though Prime Day is best for appliances, there's some great deals going on for your closet!
- 60% off select jeans: this is the link to the styles on sale for women, men, and kids.
- This link has women's fashion on sale under $50 from their highly-rated in-house brand Paris Sunday.
- Speaking of which, Amazon has a ton of in-house brands that are getting rave reviews. This link shows all the styles that are on sale 20% today only. We're talking fashion, underpinnings, styles for men, baby clothes, gorgeous accessories (I have this bag http://amzn.to/2ub5VtD and the Prime price is amazeballs), and more.
- I swear by velvet flocked hangers. They're super streamlined so you have more space in your closet. Not only that, the fabric keeps items from slipping off and falling to the abyss of your closet floor. Amazon Basics makes a great version; they're usually $12.99 for a 30-pack, but today they're on sale for $9.69.
- If wood hangers are more your style, you're also in luck. These highly rated wood hangers are usually $23.99 for a 30-pack, on sale today for $17.99!
- Select luxury beauty products are 40% off; this link will direct you to which ones are on this promo.
- And other luxury beauty is 30% off; this link directs you to the ones on this promo.
- There's some beauty products where you don't see the deal until you drop them in your virtual shopping cart. Annoying, but usually this means killer discounts. This link sends you to those items on promo.
- Eight is a high-tech mattress brand that's getting a TON of press and positive reviews. While the price is normal on their website, through Amazon they're offering $200 off their smart mattresses AND free shipping. Use code 8PRIMESM and this link. Code only valid on July 11, 2017. If I didn't have a relatively new mattress I'd likely try Eight; if you have one of their mattresses or order one on Prime Day let me know!
- Erin Condren planners are so popular. I haven't tried them yet, but with this promo of 20% off I may finally bite the bullet.
- Delta showerheads are 20% off. This may seem super random, but showerheads have gotten so high tech, able to conserve water while providing better water pressure. A new showerhead could improve your bathing experience while saving money and the environment!
- If you don't own packing cubes, you should. They're a travel gamechanger, making more space in your luggage, help keep things organized, and prevent wrinkling. This set of large packing cubes (the size I use most) are usually $26.99 but on sale for $18.69.
- For traveling overseas, visiting heavily populated cities, or attending a protest march, it's good to have a neck wallet. It hangs on a strap undetectable under your clothing to hold money, your passport, credit cards, and more. Usually $14.99, today it's only $8.69. So cheap (and so highly rated), there's no reason NOT to get one and have it at the ready!
