Everyone loves witnessing an iconic comeback, from Michael Jordan’s triumphant return to basketball in 1995 to Pamela Anderson’s recent rise to celebrated-actress status. But you know what kind of comeback makes a shopping editor giddy with excitement? The reappearance of everyone’s favorite annual deals extravaganza. I’m talking about Amazon Prime Day, of course, and we’ve gotten word that it’s officially a go. (Cue: confetti emoji.) The online retail giant announced that its much-anticipated savings event, Amazon Prime Day 2025, is slated for sometime in July, though exact dates have yet to be revealed (you’ll be the first to know once they are). According to Amazon, this splashy sale promises “deep discounts across more than 35 categories including electronics, kitchen, beauty and apparel.” In short, there’s a little — or a lot of — something for everyone.
Now, if this will be your first Prime Day rodeo, here are some basics to keep in mind: The majority of the best Prime Day deals are, as the name implies, exclusively for Prime members. That means you’ll need an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the steepest markdowns and score the lowest prices. Signing up is easy, and you can even opt for a free 30-day trial before committing to a plan. After that, you’ll be charged $14.99 per month, which grants you access to dedicated deals, fast and free shipping, Prime streaming content and more.
As mentioned, our trusty team of shopping experts will be providing more updates as it gets closer, and in the meantime? If the prospect of scoring fabulous prices on home essentials, tech gear and more excites you, you don’t have to wait until next month. We’ve spied some stellar on-sale gems at Amazon already — after all, the early bird gets the worm…

Apple products are so sought after that they don’t really need to go on sale, and when they do, it’s often because they’re older models. This is the latest version of this iPad, which makes the markdown all the more impressive. According to Yahoo Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw, who specializes in all things tech, “It’s an ultra-light, thin tablet that’s powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you’re swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before feel like an old tube TV.
“If you’ve got a habit of toggling between a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages at once, you’re in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you’re into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame.”
Don’t want your new vac to suck a ton of cash from your wallet? This sleek stick’s a rare $74 (it’s only dipped lower than this once).

Plus, its LED lights help you see those darker spaces, and its cyclonic filtration system traps airborne particles as well.

This is the very handvac I use at home, and let me tell you — it’s so much more powerful than its lightweight feel would imply. Is it bulkier than some of the other hand vacuums out there? Yes, but that’s to be expected, given its industrial-strength performance. That said, it’s portable enough to bring from room to room without it feeling like a workout, and that’s all I can ask for. Well, that and an incredible price — and this one is a record low. Bonus: You don’t have to purchase the battery and charger separately.
