From film cameras to coffee makers — these are the Prime Day deals you should grab to head back to college
This year, there are Amazon Prime Day deals for everyone. And if your next stop is college, you'll be glad to know you can kit out your dorm room on a budget thanks to come of the awesome deals on offer. Having graduated last year, I know that if I could go back and do it all again I would prioritize comfort and convenience when doing my shopping. It can be overwhelming to know where to begin but with these deals, you'll be ready for anything. My favorite deal here (and most necessary) has to be the Nespresso Vertuo Plus coffee machine, available for $109 at Amazon right now. This one will ensure you make it to those 9am lectures. For the rest of the college essential deals, keep scrolling. If there's one thing I remember from my college days, it's that trying to get to the 9am lecture after pulling an all-nighter is a harrowing experience. I found solace in having a coffee machine in my room. This always meant I wasn't always spending all of my money at Starbucks. Being able to roll out of bed, put a Nespresso pod in the machine, and get ready makes the early mornings so much more bearable. And beyond the early mornings, this coffee machine will also come in handy when you're pulling all-nighters before finals. It makes hot or iced coffee with ease and produces anything you could want from a single espresso to an eight-ounce coffee. It uses Nespresso aluminum pods which are fully recyclable and have a ton of flavours to choose from. The Amazon Echo Show 5 is available in three colors to complement however you decide to decorate your dorm; black, cloud blue and glacier white. The 5.5-inch display is more than enough to show you the latest news headlines at a glance, and you can even watch your favorite shows won it while you get ready for the day. There is also a built in 2MP camera that you can use as an interior security camera, and even make video calls to other Echo Show users with. I love that you can use the display as a photo frame, and select a slideshow of your favorite pictures too for when you're homesick. Despite its size, the sound is well-rounded and dang loud, and you can control the sound on screen. I can't believe the price drop on this Instant Pot because it's the appliance that does it all. And if I was headed back to college next semester, this would be a no brainer addition to my kitchen set up. Better yet, since this version is only three quarts, it's not going to take up much countertop space. It is also perfect for cooking for smaller groups of people. At this size, it is perfect for meal prepping for one, so you can make your meal for that night and then refrigerate or freeze the other portions for another day — doing this helped me save so much money when I was a student. With seven different cooking functions to choose from to make everything from soup to cake — cooking meals has never been easier or faster. The Beats Studio Pro headphones have had the price slashed by 51%, and at this price, they are the perfect addition to campus days. While I wouldn't recommend them at full price, $169 for the Beats sound profile and insanely good ANC is too good pass up. They have 24 hours of battery life with the ANC turned on, and you four hours of playback with just a 10 minute charge. This makes them perfect for anyone who's forgetful (like me) and leave it to the last second to charge their electronics. They are available in eight understated colors and designed in collaboration with Kim Kardashian. It also helps that they are some of the comfiest cans I have ever tried. You're going to want to capture all of the fun memories you make while at college, and what better way to do that than hoping on the film camera trend. Included with the Kodak film camera is a roll of Kodak Ultramax400 24exp film. The camera doubles the number of exposures too so you get 48 half-frame photos. The camera is pocket sized and weighs just 200 grams so is perfect for throwing in your bag and taking with you anywhere on campus. It is simple point-and-shoot camera so it is perfect for beginners.

This stellar Nespresso machine just dropped to its lowest price — get it now for almost 40% off
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is underway, which means all Prime members get exclusive access to deals across every major category including kitchen appliances, household essentials and vacuums. If you need a coffee maker or espresso machine, Amazon is currently discounting a handful of models. Beloved by NBC Select editors because it's compact, sleek and easy to use, the Nespresso VertuoPlus is a coffee and espresso machine in one — and it's on sale for 35% off this Prime Day. The Nespresso VertuoPlus is one of the best espresso machines for at-home baristas. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio uses it every morning to make delicious beverages at the press of a button. It automatically adapts to each coffee pod to optimize the size, brewing temperature and pressure. Plus, it has a removable 40-ounce water tank. This machine also includes a frother that can steam hot or cold milk. 'I'm a fan of espresso-based drinks, but could never afford an espresso maker to brew them at home,' says Godio. 'I bought the Nespresso as a budget-friendly alternative around three years ago, and it's been the best decision — the coffee tastes great and I love using the milk frother, which heats the milk and helps keep my coffee hot. The only con is that the pods are expensive, but worth it.' Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a freelance writer for NBC Select who has covered deals and sales for three years. To evaluate the quality of this Nespresso deal, I ran it through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel to ensure it's at its lowest price in at least three months. I also made sure it's a highly rated item, at least 20% off and has at least a 4.0-star average rating from hundreds of reviews.

This is the first Prime Day of the year, but there is also often an October Amazon Prime event, billed last year as Prime Big Deal Prime Day is exclusive to Prime members, making it one of the best perks of signing up. If you have yet to join, it's a feature-packed subscription with benefits to reap year-round. Newcomers can take advantage of a free trial, the 2025 event will last for four days, it's not a bad idea to go ahead and purchase the items you see on sale as soon as you decide you're going to buy them, since things can (and often do!) sell out. In our experience covering Prime Day, the deal price listed once the event begins is typically about as cheap as it will said, some items don't go on sale on the first day, and this trend is also subject to change year-to-year. Lightning deals can also sometimes provide some extra deep discounts, but these flash sales are only available for a limited time with a limited amount of out the Amazon Prime deals page for more information.

Great gifts for college grads
It's college graduation season, and that means it's time to come up with gift ideas for the college grad you want to congratulate on a job well done. So much hard work goes into achieving that diploma, so it's only natural to want to acknowledge this major milestone with a gift. When it comes to rewarding their hard work, you can go with something that's practical, meaningful or even a little fancy. While a recent survey shows cash is the top gift among the over $6 billion spent each year on graduation gifts, some people prefer to give something their new grad can unwrap. That's why we've gathered some ideas to help you come up with the perfect gift for the new grad in your life. Samsonite Omni PC Hardside Expandable Luggage Nothing says embarking on a new life journey like a good piece of luggage, and this expandable 28-inch suitcase with spinner wheels is the perfect choice.
