Our top picks of Amazon's early Prime Day deals to get shoppers ready for summer
What's even better is that the retail giant has decided to make their popular sale a four-day event. From July 8 to July 11, shoppers will be able to get their hands on new pieces of tech, fashion, beauty, garden furniture, homeware essentials and so much more for decent prices in this mega sale.
However, this extended sale comes with a catch. While shoppers have more days to shop, this doesn't mean that all of the items will remain on sale for the full event. Some shoppers may see prices change over the four days or some deals may end early, reports the Mirror.
In addition, shoppers will need to be an Amazon Prime Member to take part in the sale. Members need to spend £8.99 a month for the subscription, but this comes with a variety of perks. Prime members can get next day delivery on thousands of selected items, along with access to Prime Video and Prime Music.
For those who are unsure if they want to start up a membership, Amazon is offering a 30-day free trial that shoppers can cancel at any time.

Amazon isn't the only place that shoppers can get great deals this summer. For those looking for offers on beauty, Lookfantastic and Boots have plenty of deals available, while Boden is also hosting a huge sale across their clothing range.
Additionally, for those who enjoy gardening, Yimbly - which is a marketplace owned by the Daily Record's parent company - currently has plenty of garden furniture down to bargain prices.
While there is less than a week until Amazon's Prime Day event, the retailer has already decided to treat shoppers by putting some of their summer essentials on an early Prime Day deal. We have collated our top picks from the sale to help shoppers grab some early bargains.
Many shoppers have been raving about this desk fan to help tackle the summer heat, with some saying they are willing to ditch their Dyson alternatives.
With up to 24 hours of cordless runtime, this fan has a cooling reach of up to 20m. While UV and rain resistant, so it can be used both indoors and outdoors, the fan comes with five speeds, a 180 degree side-to-side oscillation and a 55 degree tilt.

For those wanting to give their garden a bit of TLC this summer, a quality strimmer is the ideal device to finish up the job.
Saving shoppers nearly £30, this strimmer comes with an upgraded 2000mAh lithium battery which can be used for up to an hour. Shoppers will also be given extra batteries so they won't need to suddenly stop half way through a job. The strimmer also comes with three different types of blades in a mixture of plastic and metal.
While many of us are delighted that the weather has taken a warmer turn, for those working in offices or constantly commuting, the heat can be a nightmare. To help combat this problem, a neck fan could be a reliable solution.
Allowing workers to do their jobs without having to hold a device, this fan comes with three instant cooling modes. The white model is currently £10 off the retail price, but shoppers can also choose between seven other colours for the slightly higher price of £33.97.
To avoid standing over a hot iron to get your clothes looking pristine, a handheld steamer can be a quick and easy alternative.
With a 60 second heat up time and a 15g steam burst, shoppers will be able to remove wrinkles in an instant. With a 150ml water tank, shoppers can get over 10 minutes of use per tank that will kill 99.9 per cent of bacteria.
While not the most exciting item to shop for, an expandable hose is certainly a summer essential - especially for those who are wanting to keep their garden in tip top condition.
Able to expand to 100ft in seconds, this hose is crafted with a double layer of 100 per cent latex core and is reinforced with 800D webbing. Boasting eight different spray modes, this hose will easily clean your house, car, floor, plants and garden.
Apple AirTags are quickly becoming a must-have for frequent travellers so they can keep an eye on their luggage. As one of Amazon's best sellers, the tracker has been bought by over 5,000 people in the last month.
Amazon has also reduced the price of multipacks. A pack of two is now £56 (RRP £70), a pack of three is down from £105 to £84, while a pack of four can now be bought for £92 instead of £119.
Amazon sells a vast variety of smart watches on its website, from high end brands such as Apple and Samsung to many budget models.
For example, shoppers will save £76 on this budget-friendly smart watch. While equipped with Bluetooth to receive calls and texts, this 1.96-inch watch will also track your fitness, steps and sleep. This device also comes with up to seven days of battery life and 30 days of standby time.
For those looking for a one-and-done skincare solution, this Olay Super Serum may be the answer. Developed to deliver five skin benefits, your skin will be glowing in time.
This serum will provide a better texture, a more even tone, firmer skin, smoother lines and long-lasting hydration for less than half the usual price.

Brazil's 'soy moratorium' site offline after antitrust ruling setback
SAO PAULO, Aug 19 (Reuters) - A website containing information about Brazil's "soy moratorium," a private agreement enforced by global grain traders to protect the Amazon rainforest from soy-driven deforestation, was taken offline on Tuesday after Brazil's antitrust authority ordered suspension of the pact. The soy moratorium has long been hailed as one of the most successful initiatives to protect the Amazon rainforest because it bars soybean traders from buying from farmers who cleared land there after July 2008. But the General Superintendent of antitrust regulator CADE on Monday ruled that it represents a potential breach of Brazilian competition law. Superintendent Alexandre Barreto de Souza ordered firms to suspend the pact or pay fines after he concluded a preliminary investigation, prompted by a request in August 2024 from the agriculture committee of Brazil's lower house of Congress. A majority of lawmakers in the committee is backed by farmers opposed to the moratorium. On Monday, Barreto de Souza also initiated a full investigation involving some 30 grain exporters and two industry groups on whether the moratorium, which has been in place for 19 years, "constitutes an anti-competitive agreement" involving rival companies. Brazilian soy farmers celebrated the moratorium's suspension as a historic victory. Farmers, however, are not expected to clear big areas of forest to grow soy as that crop has been advancing over pastureland, according to Mauricio Buffon, president of farm lobby Aprosoja. 'We do not believe there will be a drop in soy trade,' he said. Even so, soy traders are now in a bind. People familiar with the thinking of trade groups Anec and Abiove told Reuters they will appeal the suspension of the pact at CADE's tribunal, which is composed of six commissioners, including its president. While CADE may take years to conclude the investigation and issue a final opinion on the moratorium's legality, companies may settle with the agency during the course of the probe. If traders are found guilty of breaching competition law, their trade groups face fines of up to 2 billion reais ($365.60 million). For traders themselves, fines can reach up to 20% of the company's gross revenue in the last fiscal year before the investigation started. ($1 = 5.4704 reais)

'Versatile' 3-in-1 hand blender is cheaper on Amazon even during Ninja sale
'This 3-in-1 Ninja food processor has become one of my most-used kitchen tools.' While many people may enjoy the art of cooking and learning new recipes, it can quickly become a messy ordeal when multiple devices are needed. This can become even more annoying when everything needs to be cleaned after the delicious dish has been eaten. In order to leave at-home chefs with less items to clean, Ninja has combined a few kitchen essentials into one device. The Ninja Foodi 3-in-1 Hand Blender normally retails for £129.99, but it is currently available for £99.99 on the Ninja website. However, for those on the hunt for a bargain and are wanting to save some extra cash, savvy shoppers should instead head to Amazon to purchase the handy device as it is currently down to £79.20 - saving shoppers an extra £20.79 in comparison. Along with the base of the Ninja Hand Blender, shoppers will also get a hand mixer, chopper and hand blender attachments that can easily be switched between at a moment's notice with the hands-free eject button. This will allow shoppers to blend, mix, chop and whisk with ease. While the device is equipped with two blending speeds, five mixing speeds and a turbo option for shoppers to choose between, the 850W base is also able to recognise which attachment has been connected and will offer optimised speed settings for added convenience. It should be noted that the mixing attachment can be used with either two beaters to help quickly mix batters, or with a balloon whisk to help whip cream and beat eggs - both which are supplied with the hand blender. Additionally, shoppers can get a two year guarantee if they register the device with Ninja. Ninja Foodi 3-in-1 Hand Blender £129.99 £79.20 Amazon Buy Now Product Description However, if shoppers are looking for something cheaper, Amazon is also selling the Shardor Hand Blender. Dropped down from £45.99 to £35.13 in a limited time deal This 6-in-1 device comes with anti-scraper blade protection which prevents scratches on pots, pans and other containers. Alternatively, Argos is selling the Braun MultiQuick 7 Hand Blender for £110. Boasting a powerful 1000W motor, this device is able to provide up to 55 per cent less suction to ensure users enjoy effortless handling and perfect control. Back to the Ninja Foodi 3-in-1 Hand Blender, it currently boasts a 4.6 star rating and is currently one of Amazon's top choices. One happy customer said: "A powerful and versatile 3-in-1 kitchen machine – truly worth the price. This 3-in-1 Ninja food processor has become one of my most-used kitchen tools. It comes with three main attachments: a chopper, whisk/beater, and a purée/mixer, and honestly, all three work brilliantly. "Whether I'm blending soup, whipping cream, or mixing dough, this machine handles everything with ease." While another five-star reviewer wrote: "This is a beast of a kitchen tool & worth every penny. It's built to be tough and powerful. The ease of changing the attachments makes it a pleasure to use. I've got rid of my old beaters, blenders & other electrical baking & making machines as this is tough enough to do all those jobs." However, not everyone was fully impressed by the device, as one person noted: "Not suitable for small blends but otherwise really solid build quality and sturdy." With another mixed reviewer adding: "The only thing I would have really liked to have been included is some sort of storage box to keep everything stowed away neatly together." On the flip side, a top reviewer commented: "I seem to have accumulated lots of Ninja gear over the last few years and this is a really good addition. Very powerful stick blender that I use on soups and pasta dishes. If you've ever tried blending leek and potato soup you'll know that the leeks get caught on the blades. "This one absolutely destroys them. Converting it to hand whisk is really simple and extremely effective whipping up cream in no time. Chopping unit is small but useful for things like onion." Shoppers can buy the Ninja Foodi 3-in-1 Hand Blender for a better deal on Amazon compared to Ninja's own site. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
