Shop the best early Amazon July 4th sales ahead of Prime Day and save on iPads, Fire TVs and more

Tomorrow might be America’s birthday, but if you ask me, we’re the ones racking up gifts. At least, the July 4th sales I’m seeing at Amazon on this lovely Thursday sure feel like presents. Now, I’ve been a professional deals hunter for years, and, full transparency, I’m not usually impressed by markdowns leading up to Prime Day (which kicks off on July 8, FYI). But I’ve spotted some rare gems, and even a few record-low prices to scoop up before next week’s markdown madness ensues.

Need a new hand vacuum? This heavy-duty Craftsman (which I swear by) is on sale for its best price ever at $59 (down from $100). Did last week’s “heat dome” catch you unprepared? “One if by air, two if by water” are the bywords for this indoor/outdoor Shark misting fan. Liberate yourself from seasonal swelter while saving a very cool 50 bucks (also an all-time low). Summertime means your face needs extra-special care. Alas, not all eye creams are created equal, so make sure you score a tube of this line-minimizing option from RoC — it’s nearly 35% off (and comes recommended by our beauty editor).

All that, plus deals on Apple, Waterpik, KitchenAid, Hanes and s’more. (You will be eating some of those this weekend, right?)

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.”

Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida, “Open-ear headphones are all the rage, but they’re usually not cheap: Prices typically start over $100 and rise from there. 

“Behold the pleasant surprise that is the Baseus Bass BC1, a cuff-style open-ear headphone that I just started testing — but so far, so good. Comfy fit, decent sound, more bass than I expected and a price tag of just $25. Grab these before they jump back up to their already-pretty-amazing regular price of $40.”

Senior Style Writer Rebecca Carhart. “This option caught my attention because so many reviewers have raved about how soft it is, to the point that several say it feels like wearing pajamas — an idea I can get firmly behind!

“Did I mention there are pockets? Never expected in a dress, but always appreciated, so you can stash a few small essentials while you run errands or slip your phone into one instead of digging around in your purse. There are a whopping 45+ styles — solids and prints of every variety — and certain options are on sale for as little as $18.” (That’s an all-time low at 40% off.)

Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini, it doesn’t cost a lot to give that area a glow-up. “If you’re looking for a low-cost retinol treatment to help with dark pigmentation, this is for you,” she says. “RoC is the premier name in over-the-counter retinol, and its eye cream is highly rated … It’s excellent for improving the appearance of both fine lines and dark circles, and it’s dermatologist recommended too. I only wish it contained more antioxidant, nourishing ingredients. But for the price, it honestly cannot be beat.”

Speaking of price, this is about as low as I’ve seen it in months.

“rich mom” trend that’s currently sweeping the style world, here’s how I’d sum it up: dressing like one has money without being flashy about it. That means a wardrobe filled with simple-yet-chic staples like this crisp striped number that looks put together in the easiest, breeziest way. Layer it over a tank on cooler summer nights or tuck it into some trousers for the office. The blue-and-white striped version is particularly timeless, and a steal at nearly 50% off (within $2 of its all-time low).

Senior Deals Writer Carrie McCabe swears by it after it accompanied her on a trip to Italy. “The bag not only had to stand up to wet conditions, but the rigors of heavy use: me constantly putting it on and taking it off, adjusting the strap and opening it multiple times a day,” she says. “I also had to carry enough items to get me through up to 12 hours of sightseeing.”

At over 40% off, it’s down to its best price since 2023.
