These 15 Amazon Prime Day Deals Beat Out What I've Seen All Week—Up to 71% Off

As someone who spends a good chunk of their workday flipping through Amazon discounts, I'll be the first to admit that not all deals are created equal, especially in regards to Prime Day. For example, some products regularly go on sale repeatedly throughout the year, meaning you'll have plenty of opportunities to save in the future. Some other discounts may seem impressive on the surface, but have consistently poor ratings or only a few sizes in stock.
It's safe to say that after years of covering the sitewide event, I've gotten the hang of tracking down the Prime Day deals actually worth getting excited about—and some of my favorite finds are sitting in my own cart as I type this. Curious to see which discounts I've earmarked for myself on the final day of the sales event? Keep scrolling for a peek into what I'll be buying for myself, up to 71 percent off.
You'll find a wide variety of deals to choose from, including state-of-the-art Samsonite luggage sets, noise-canceling Apple earbuds, stand-up paddle boards, portable Coleman camp grills, and more. But hurry—Amazon Prime Day officially ends tonight, July 11 at 11:59 p.m. PT. So if you see something you like, don't wait for it to go back up in price.

If I had to choose one of my 2024 purchases that has impacted my life the most, it would have to be this Apple AirTag bundle—and now that they're marked down to $65 for Prime Day, I'm considering buying another pack. I originally bought them to use as luggage trackers, but now, I use every single one of these four mini GPS trackers on a daily basis to keep tabs on my belongings. One lives in a thin credit card-like case in my wallet, one is attached to my keys, one stays in my gym bag, and the final one is tucked away inside my Jeep, allowing me to locate my car quickly in crowded parking lots via the Find My app on my iPhone.
Tons of premier Samsonite suitcases and luggage sets are on sale for Prime Day this year, but this 50 percent-off Freeform carry-on and large checked suitcase set deserves a moment in the spotlight. The Freeform rolling carry-on was deemed the Best Overall Carry-on by Travel + Leisure after rounds of rigorous testing at our New York City lab. Equipped with interior dividers, a lightweight outer shell, and TSA-approved locks, this carry-on beat out the competition for its superior features, large capacity, and overall value. Considering this carry-on typically costs around $140 on its own, this two-piece set is a steal at $240.
I bought this convenient Charmast Portable Charger in preparation for a solo trip to Puerto Rico earlier this year, and since then, I've been taking it everywhere. No, really—it comes with me everywhere . Whether I'm heading to work, walking to the gym, running errands, or hitting the town with friends, this slim backup charger comes with me, so I never have to worry about my phone or headphones dying while out and about. It's slim enough to fit inside my pocket or handbag and has built-in charging cables, plus an LED screen that shows you how much power it has left. It's one of my all-time favorite travel accessories, and I plan on scooping up a second one while it's $11 off.
My boyfriend and I love to fire up our grills at home, but I've been hunting for something portable that we could take to the beach or out camping. So naturally, this 40 percent-off Coleman Stand-up Propane Grill caught my attention. It's way more substantial than the tabletop camping stove I usually pack for outdoor ventures, but it's still portable: Simply fold it down and wheel it to your campsite, no schlepping necessary. It comes with three adjustable burners, a built-in thermometer, and an automatic push-button ignition, and it even has two pop-up side tables to set aside food you've just cooked. At $169 off, this Prime Day deal is at the top of my wishlist.
I'm one of those people who's always listening to music. I practically live with my headphones on 24/7, and if I'm not jamming out to tunes solo, I'm likely queuing up a playlist for my apartment speakers or my car. I've been meaning to replace a portable speaker I lost years ago at a music festival, and this $50-off Soundcore Boom 2 is currently in my Amazon cart. It's cordless with a bass-boosting subwoofer inside, and it's waterproof and floatable, making it perfect for hitting the beach or pool. It also has a fully customizable EQ that can be controlled via your smartphone, allowing you to tweak the sound to your liking.
Over 3,500 buyers have given this now-under-$100 speaker a five-star rating, with one reviewer writing that it 'punches way above its weight class,' considering the reasonable price point. 'I find it hard to believe there's a better speaker in this price range,' they continue. 'The ability to fully customize the EQ pushes it over the top. If [you're] on the fence about this speaker, do yourself a favor and click buy, you will not regret it.'
I get dehydrated easily when I travel, which usually leaves my lips feeling chapped. After reading hundreds of positive reviews about the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, I decided to buy it for my toiletry bag. Three years later, it's earned a permanent spot in my nighttime skincare routine. This mask, $7 off, feels unbelievable on the lips; it's buttery, but not sticky, and stays put for a long time, allowing your pout to really soak up the nourishing shea butter formula. One of these babies lasts me for months, so I rarely need to repurchase it—but I plan on restocking it early while it's on sale for Prime Day.
I get really excited when I discover a brand I already know and love is on sale at Amazon, which is why I'm eyeing these on-sale Fabletics Men's shorts. Available in a wide variety of colors and two inseam lengths, these training shorts are the ultimate 'wear everywhere' summer short for men. Made with stretchy, sweat-wicking, odor-blocking, sun-shielding fabric, these athletic shorts were built for hiking, lounging, running, and even swimming. Certain size and color combinations are listed up to 71 percent off, marking the original $65 price tag down to under $20.
My preferred music listening method is a pair of chunky over-ear headphones. While they're cute and do a great job at blocking out noise, they're a less-than-stellar choice for lounging around the house, so I've been keeping an eye out for Prime Day deals on quality earbuds. Lo and behold, these Apple AirPods Pro 2 earbuds have been marked down 40 percent for the event, bringing their price down to under $150. They're currently at the top of my list due to their noise cancellation capabilities, personalized spatial audio feature, and MagSafe charging case—and, of course, the 25,000+ five-star ratings.
I was truly shocked to see so many Yeti coolers on sale for Prime Day; many of the brand's best-selling products—including the hefty Tundra 45 cooler and the soft Hopper Flip 12 cooler—have been marked down by hundreds of dollars. My favorite discount of the bunch, though, is this M20 cooler backpack. Listed at 35 percent off, this spacious backpack has cold-cell insulation throughout and a roll-top magnetized opening that prevents leaks while you're walking. It can keep up to 36 cans chilled and, unlike tote coolers or rolling coolers, this backpack frees up your hands so you can carry other items.
Since first buying my Jeep back in 2015, I've taken it on countless long-haul road trips and weekend getaways. My least favorite part of these ventures is the clean-up process once I've returned home; my seats are a magnet for loose dirt, snack crumbs, and pet hair, which means I usually have to make a stop at the car wash to use the communal vacuums. But I think I've found a better solution: This ultra-powerful Shark Cyclone Handheld Vacuum, which is 38 percent off. It's built with the brand's HyperVelocity performance suction, and it's cordless, allowing you to hit every corner of your car (or sofa, or carpet). It comes with three different nozzle attachments and, according to five-star reviewers, it's a gem at picking up debris that's notoriously difficult to vacuum, like kitty litter.
