Trust us: As shopping editors who have been covering Amazon Prime Day for the umpteenth time, we know how easy it is to miss every “it’s almost there!” roundup of deals. Now that the first half of the 48-hour shopping holiday is winding down, we’re stepping out from behind our keyboards to share our favorite products we’d definitely buy again (on sale or off!).

From the ‘handyman of pillows’ and a portable fan under $15 that doubles as a charger and flashlight, to beauty finds and the ultimate cloud gaming bundle, see what our shopping editors have to offer

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

Apple

“I know it’s easy to overlook Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 since they’re at the top of everyone’s Prime Day list. But as a recent Apple adopter (I only switched to an iPhone last year, sorry!), I can attest to the extreme noise-canceling power of these earbuds. They drown out the noise of airplanes, my kids’ squeals, you name it — if you value a quiet environment, these may be the best $170 you’ll spend.” — Danielle Directo-Meston, THR e-commerce writer

The 10 Best Amazon Prime Day 2024 Finds THR Shopping Editors Love

Amazon

“Amazon has added the Xbox app to the retail giant’s app store so you can use it with your Fire TV Stick 4K Max. This means you can now play your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games on your streaming device without an actual Xbox Series X/S gaming console. This really opens the door for more people to start playing or get back into gaming if they stopped playing years ago. This game bundle includes a Fire TV Stick 4K Max, an Xbox Core Wireless Controller, and one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (a $20/month value) for free. Simply connect your streaming device to your TV, launch the Xbox app, sync your game controller over Bluetooth, and start playing popular games like Hi-Fi Fever, Star Field, Death Loop AND Forza Horizon 5. Think of it as Netflix, but for cloud gaming on Xbox.” — Rudie Obias, PMC E-Commerce Writer

The 10 Best Amazon Prime Day 2024 Finds THR Shopping Editors Love

“Someone once told me that the suitcase you take to the airport has to be ‘respectable,’ especially if you want an upgrade or extra benefit at check-in. My favorite carry-on is this aluminum hardshell from Level 8.

It has the minimalist look I’m looking for, with plenty of storage space inside. Everything snaps shut with durable zippers, and the spinner wheels surprisingly handle everything from airport carpets to cobblestone roads. The best part: At just $350 on Prime Day, it’s less than a fifth of the price of other aluminum carry-ons on the market.” — Tim Chan, Vice President of Merchandising, PMC

Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Eyelash Strengthening Serum

“My iconic grandma swears by this stuff and bought it for me for Christmas a year and a half ago. I stashed it away in a drawer and finally started using it about four months ago. I can’t even begin to describe how much I love it. I’ve since bought a bottle again and it’s my number one Prime Day stock up on. I’ve never had long lashes before, and now the compliments are rolling in nonstop (which is exciting). I even went to a baby shower last weekend and an old friend said, ‘How come your lashes literally reach your eyebrows?’ When I told her my secret, she said I looked like I had the most natural lash extensions she’d ever seen.” — Erin Lassner, THR E-Commerce Writer

Digital Luggage Scale Travel Inspira

Danielle Directo-Meston/THR

“The Travel Inspira Digital Luggage Scale has been a godsend on all my air travels. As I mentioned here, it helped me sail through LAX (no easy feat!) while checking in for my international flight to Paris. It’s accurate (my suitcase was exactly the same weight at check-in), lightweight, and super easy to use. I recommend keeping it in your personal bag during the flight so you can easily take it out, weigh it, and re-weigh your luggage at the hotel or airport. Considering the amount of time, money, and extra baggage fees I’ve saved, this travel essential is worth even the full $13 price tag. See my own photo on the right for proof!” — DDM

The 10 Best Amazon Prime Day 2024 Finds THR Shopping Editors Love

“Full disclosure: As an e-commerce editor, I admit to enjoying an endless supply of skincare samples to test out. Although I’ve been eyeing the EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 46 for a while, I finally found a spot in my skincare routine to add it before foundation—and I wish I had done that ages ago. It’s now one of those products I’ll be buying again and again. I love that they don’t test on animals, the formula is so smooth, and it always leaves my skin feeling moisturized and nourished. While it doesn’t have any scent (I’m super sensitive to anything with scent), I actually love the natural scent of the ingredients.” — DDM

The 10 Best Amazon Prime Day 2024 Finds THR Shopping Editors Love

“After seeing these nifty little fans in the hands of some very prepared parkgoers on a hot day at Disneyland, I immediately found them on Amazon and placed an order. This foldable, travel-friendly fan was so popular that I ordered one for everyone in my family. It has a built-in flashlight and doubles as a USB charger—two features we recently used on a two-week RV trip that took us to four national parks. The charger saved my phone on a hike, the fan was essential on hot hiking trails in Zion and Moab, and the flashlight was a night-time savior, so it was definitely worth the less than $15 price tag. I plan on stocking up, because these make great holiday gifts.” — DDM

“Summer is the perfect time to freshen up your bedding (and replace those yellowing pillows), and my favorite pillows are from the Beckham Hotel Collection. They’re like Goldilocks pillows—not too soft, not too firm, with just enough padding to support my neck and head. As someone who alternates between side and back sleepers, these Beckham Hotel pillows provide support no matter what position I’m in. Bonus: They’re 40% off for Prime Day with an on-site Amazon coupon.” — TC

“You can read stress in my eyes, especially if I haven’t had enough sleep or feel dehydrated. That’s why I keep a pack of these Dermora Eye Patches in my travel bag and bathroom cabinet. The cooling gel texture instantly refreshes and depuffs, and the sticky patches stay on without irritating. This Prime Day deal gets you 20 eye masks. Apply the Amazon bonus coupon on the page to save an extra 15%.” — TC

The 10 Best Amazon Prime Day 2024 Finds THR Shopping Editors Love

“The Solawave is one of the most popular facial devices on Amazon for a reason—it really works. I use this renewing wand for a few minutes every morning before applying my skincare routine, and the red light therapy has worked wonders to lift, depuff, and smooth my skin. This Amazon deal includes the Solawave “renew complex serum,” which helps activate additional skincare benefits. It’s a steal right now at $113 as part of the Prime Day sale, and you can get an extra 15% off with an on-site coupon.” — TC

Cosori Gooseneck Electric Kettle

“I’ve had this kettle for about three years now, and it’s my most prized kitchen item. It’s both incredibly chic and efficient. Target is currently having a sale on a luxurious copper shade that I’m in love with.” — EL
