Prime Day is winding down, and while it’s definitely a moment to get the big-ticket Moccamaster and Dyson you’ve been eyeing for the past few months, there are a ton of (a lot) less expensive things that are worth picking up, too. It may feel like 50 bucks doesn’t stretch very far these days, but for a few more hours it can buy you plenty, from Yeti accessories to a portable JBL Bluetooth speaker.
This is my sixth year in a row covering Prime Day, and over the years I’ve sniffed out deals across almost every category, ranging from beauty essentials to mattresses to gifty items. Since it can be extremely overwhelming to look through all the markdowns, I’ve spent hours combing through the sale to separate the truly great deals from the not-so-great ones.
I have been extremely impressed with the beauty and wellness offerings, including my favorite affordable Snif perfume for $20 off and go-to deodorant wipes for $4 off (which doesn’t seem like much, but they don’t go on sale often). Plenty of random, delightful items popped up, too, like sushi magnets and excellent fine-line pens. I’ve rounded all of those under-$50 finds below.
If you’re searching for deals in a specific category, my colleagues have been working hard to bring you extremely thorough guides to home décor, beauty, tech, kitchenware, and more — though if you’d like a highly curated list of their favorite deals, head to our roundup of the very best Prime Day deals, according to the Strategist writers. There, they’ve each highlighted the top three deals in their category. Of course, if you want even more deals, writer Sam Daly has rounded up over 200 of the very best Prime Day deals.

The Deals I Personally Think Are the Best
The below three products are my favorites from the sale (and the three I think I’ll be scooping up by the end of the day). This EltaMD sunscreen and the iS Clinical cleanser is my go-to combo for keeping my acne-prone skin clear, protected, and even all summer long. And I would love to scoop up some heavily discounted tech on Prime Day, like these Bluetooth Tile tags.
