"Yes, you read that right: Shopping is my job. As The Everymom’s commerce editor, it’s my responsibility to make sure we’re including the best possible products and retailers in our content for all of you. I spend a lot of my days “online shopping” for our articles. So, it’s safe to say that I know Amazon like the back of my hand. And even more than that, I know a good deal when I see one. Amazon Prime Big Deal Days—AKA October Prime Day—has some of the best deals of the entire year. It’s basically a commerce editor’s playground.
If you’re planning to use Big Deal Days to get a jumpstart on your holiday shopping, you’re in luck. I combed through thousands of October Prime Day deals to find the very best ones. These are the picks that I’d feel confident gifting this holiday season. This list includes everything from on-trend fashion finds to the chicest home decor to some of my personal tried-and-true favorites. Some of these items are currently at the lowest prices I’ve ever seen. That means you won’t regret adding them to your cart. Amazon Prime Big Deal Days runs from Tuesday, October 8, to Wednesday, October 9. So make sure to snag these deals while you still can!
How I chose my Amazon Prime Big Deal Days picks
As The Everymom’s commerce editor, I’m constantly on the lookout for the best deals, fresh finds, and can’t-miss products for all of you. Over the past few months, I’ve been adding things to my Amazon wish list in hopes that they’d be on sale during October Prime Day. From fashion items to beauty must-haves to home decor upgrades, I’ve put thought into each and every selection below. These are items that I’ve personally used (or am buying this year!), have been recommended to me by other editors, or that people on social media can’t stop talking about. Each and every one of these picks makes for a gift I know the recipient would love this holiday season. Even if that recipient is yourself!
