Amazon announces dates for Prime Day July 8
The Prime Day sale will see products across all departments reduced, such as fashion, beauty, garden, home, and entertainment.
Is the Prime Day sale just for Amazon Prime members?
No, it is neither just a day long, nor just for Amazon Prime members.
Amazon's Prime Day sale is eligible for all to shop, but Prime members get more discounts and receive free delivery too.
In previous years, this has been Dyson, CeraVe, Ninja, Shark, and Bose, plus lots of Amazon's own brand items.

Amazon You Buy We Donate
For the rest of June, Amazon is continuing its hygiene poverty campaign, following research showing 20% of UK adults are worried about being able to afford basic hygiene products.
The You Buy. We Donate scheme invites shoppers to look out for the 'Buy 2, Donate 1.' link on the product page. Products include brands such as:
Alberto

Dettol

The donated products then go to a UK Multibank - a clothes, bedding, baby, and hygiene bank, where companies give away goods people need, while local charities and care professionals know the people who need them.
There are now six Multibanks across the UK, including in the West Midlands and Manchester, which have distributed more than eight million essential items to support over 600,000 families nationwide.
Eugenie Teasley, Amazon UK's Head of Impact, says: 'We know families across the country are facing incredibly tough times, and we want to help. Working closely with The Multibank and other businesses, we've been able to donate over 8 million essential products to more than 600,000 families, but we know there's much more to do.'
