If you have an Apple Watch, iPhone, and AirPods, you probably also need a 3-in-1 charger on your nightstand or desk. The best one is currently on sale for $30 off! It can recharge your iPhone at the fastest 15-watt charging speed and it can also fast-charge your Watch Series 7 or newer. Here’s what Qi2 is. It looks very nice, too.
Our Favorite Apple Watch For Most People Is On SaleThe Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) is our pick for the Best Apple Watch for most people. Which some people—particularly Apple fans—might say makes it the best smartwatch overall. It’s usually pretty affordable, but especially on this deal. It can alert you to notifications, track your heartrate, and help you find your phone when you lose it. Oh, also, it can tell the time. That’s pretty neat.
Get Your Squishy Fix with Up to 25 Percent Off SquishmallowsSquishmallows 8-Inch Kuromi Pumpkin
It simply wouldn’t be Prime Day if I wasn’t perusing for Squishmallow deals. I don’t think I could possibly fit more into my house, but if you’re in the market, Prime Day has brought with it a huge selection of Squishmallow deals. There’s the adorable pictured Halloween-themed Kuromi, a menacing Oogie Boogie, and dozens more. You can see even more discounted squishies here. And if you’re in the market for toy deals, we’ve got a dedicated story right over here. I’ll just be here … browsing … and certainly NOT placing any orders if you’re my roommate who is reading this.
It’s Finally Time to Buy That KitchenAid Stand Mixer You WantedKitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer
The KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer is right up there with the Instant Pot and the cast iron skillet in terms of kitchen gear everyone wants. It can mix, knead, and whisk just about any (edible) thing you can throw at it. It’s also just so iconic that you can tell it’s gonna be the kind of thing your grandkids reminisce about seeing you cook with. Right now, the Empire Red and Aqua Sky colors are particularly discounted, so if you’ve been waiting to buy one, now’s a great opportunity.
This Liquid I.V. Has Saved My Life Before, I ThinkLiquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier
You don’t know dehydration until you dance your booty off for 12 hours straight and then go to sleep in a tent, waking up to the sun roasting you alive and a mouth that feels like someone held a hair dryer to it at full blast. Liquid I.V. is a festival essential of mine, because it helps me easily fight hangovers and sore throats—no matter how late I stayed up the night before. It’s better hydration than plain water without being overly sweet or cloying … or costing approximately $70, like a bottle of Gatorade from a vendor does. And the packets are sturdy enough to be crammed into a pocket or fanny pack without shredding open and spilling their contents all over the place. Save some money on whatever flavor you fancy this Prime Day. (Seaberry is my favorite.)
I Refuse to Make a Clock Pun About This Pixel Watch 2 SaleI could say this is a timely sale. I could say it’s about time that the Pixel Watch 2 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) dropped below $200, making it a downright bargain. I could say that, with its Fitbit integration and health tracking features, your workout routine will run like clockwork. It’s so stylish that I could say you better watch out for all the stray compliments that will come flying your way when you wear it.
But I won’t.
These Protein Shakes Are How I Get Through Prime DayCore Power Protein Milk Shakes
Look, sometimes, you don’t have time to cook a meal. Or buy a meal. Or spend time chewing, swallowing, and digesting a meal. That’s why I frequently turn to these babies. I’ve got a stack of them in my fridge, just in case I need a few quick calories. The strawberry banana one is particularly tasty, but they come in chocolate or vanilla, as well.
Those Markers From TikTok Are On Sale Right NowI can’t be the only one whose TikTok feed is filled with people coloring right now. Most creators swear by Ohuhu markers, which lend pretty, muted colors to the pages. The 120-pack is on sale right now, as is the gigantic 320-pack. Each marker has a brush end and a chisel end, and the included carrying case will help you stay organized. You could put some of the savings toward the popular Cozy Friends Coloring Book or one of these other options. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to deliberate over whether or not I need another hobby.
I Really Want an iPad
My two children have iPads, my mom has an iPad, and I do not. I would like one so I can watch rom-coms while washing dishes, while my husband is downstairs playing on the PlayStation, or do a little bit of work on a web browser while traveling. We have a complete guide to the Best iPad, and I’m perusing through a few of them today. The 2021 iPad with the older A13 Bionic chip looks pretty solid for what I need it to do (watch movies, play Bloons), but if you need a bit more horsepower, the latest iPad Pro that just came out this year is also on sale.
The T3 Switch Kit is Supremely VersatileThis curling iron comes with a handle and three differently-sized attachments, including a half-inch barrel, a 1.25-inch barrel, and a 1.5-inch barrel.

It can get pretty hot, up to 410 degrees Fahrenheit, and the color scheme will look nice on a vanity or bathroom counter. Check out our dedicated story for more hair tool deals.
This Trendy Hand Sanitizer Rocks and It’s Cheap, TooTouchland Hand Sanitizer is trendy because it’s so darn cute and portable, but also because it’s moisturizing and smells amazing. It’s tough to ask for more from a hand sanitizer. It won’t dry out your skin, it won’t offend your olfactory senses, and it won’t run out quickly. Each little bottle has 500 sprays and it’s slim enough that you can stash it basically anywhere. The final price varies by the scent family you choose, but three-packs are on sale for as low as $21 thanks to Prime Day. Your school-aged kid would probably love to get one of these as a gift during the upcoming holiday season.
Give Your Laptop Dual-Monitors With This Plugable Docking StationUSB-C Dual HDMI Display Horizontal Docking Station
I’ve been working on the same desktop that I’ve been upgrading continuously for over 20 years. So when I work on a laptop, I miss the feeling of having multiple screens. Fortunately, Plugable has heard my anguished cries and made this handy laptop docking station that lets me connect to two monitors with a single USB-C cable. It’s small, lightweight, and a bit flimsy, but it does its job extremely well. In my testing, most of its ports clocked in around 400MB/s data transfer, making it excellent for most everyday tasks. Though if you spend a lot of time copying over large media files, you might need something a bit faster. Check out our guide to the Best Laptop Docking Stations for more suggestions.
Manscaped’s Beard Hedger Trims the Price By 30%If Manscaped’s omnipresent ads haven’t sold you yet, this deal might finally get you on board. The Beard Hedger is our favorite trimmer for travel, thanks to its USB-C charger that works with your laptop or phone adapter. It also comes with its own AC adapter and a hard-shelled, waterproof case that’s made to be tossed around in your toiletry bag.

The Best AirPods You Can Buy Are As Cheap As They Ever GetAirPods Pro (2nd Generation) With USB-C
The AirPods Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are as close to perfect as you can get from earbuds. They fit comfortably in your ear, have excellent noise cancellation, and require minimal setup (when used with Apple products, of course). The AirPods themselves get a generous six hours of battery life—compared to four and a half on their predecessors—with an extra 24 hours from charging in the case. Best of all, the case supports MagSafe charging, so it’s dead simple to keep your buds powered up all day.
Catch Your Bro Landing That Sick Barley Grind With the GoPro Hero 12 BlackBro. Bro. Tell me you caught that gnarly ripper shred that vert*! What? You didn’t? Bro. Come on, man. If you’re gonna get all the action out here, you gotta step it up with this GoPro. The Hero 12 Black (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is like the primo action cam from last year. It’s got great battery life, HDR recording, and support for Log video. It might not have the interchangeable lenses from the newer GoPro Hero 13 Black, but right now it’s way cheaper.
*I have no idea what this means but my skater friends assure me these are, in fact, words.
Sleep (Hot) No More with the Discounted Buffy Breeze ComforterI’m a terrible sleeper. My blankets have to be just right, I have to have seventeen of them on me in order to fall asleep, and I always wake up sweaty and gasping for air. The Buffy Breeze has been a mainstay of my sleep routine ever since it first landed on my bed three years ago. It’s made with eucalyptus, which means it’s cooling in the summer, but it’s still weighty and substantial enough to keep me warm in the winter. It’ll be the top pick in an upcoming buying guide. For more recommendations check out our roundup of the Best Prime Day Sleep Deals.
Santa’s Elves Bought This Deal and You Should TooI know we tend to repress it every year, but participate in this thought exercise with me. Remember last December? When you decided it was finally time to stop procrastinating and start wrapping, and you brought out your container of supplies, and you got down to business? Remember running out of tape halfway through and realizing you’d have to run to the store amidst all the crazy people?
Because I do, reader. I do.
Save yourself the trouble this year and get half-off six rolls of tape for Prime Day. I know it’s not the most exciting purchase you’ll ever make, but I also know that you’ll be thanking yourself on December 24th. (Or 23rd if you get a head-start.)
Save Some Trees, Use This Reusable Notebook InsteadRocketbook makes some great notebooks that also function as boosters to help your shuttle escape Earth’s orbit. Wait, no, they’re reusable. That’s what I meant to say. Each page is made of a whiteboard-like material that you can write on, then erase to use again. It requires some water and a cloth to wipe down, so you won’t easily erase your notes, but it’s not difficult to get a blank slate. The Rocketbook app also lets you scan your pages to digitize them, so you can keep the notes you erase, too.
Solawave Is the DIY Facial Upgrade You Need4-in-1 Radiant Renewal Wand
If you’ve been eyeing the Solawave 4-in-1 facial wand, Prime Day is the only time I would recommend adding it to your cart. I love how this teeny gadget combines LED therapy, microcurrents, and a tingly warmth that adds that spa feel without breaking the bank. Other WIRED staffers said they noticed skin-tightening benefits after a few weeks of use. LED masks are a splurge and a half, and this is a great alternative without the commitment. Another note: Solawave is also offering a bundle deal with their activating serum for an additional $4.
Finally, One (Good) Gaming Headset For Every ConsoleFor ages, wireless gaming headsets have either been compatible with PlayStation consoles or Xbox consoles, but not both. SteelSeries gets around this problem with a handy USB-C dongle with a switch that can swap between Xbox and…well, everything else. The Arctis Nova 5X (8/10, WIRED Recommends) isn’t the first headset that has this feature, but it’s my favorite. It lasts over 60 hours, comfortable earcups, and the SteelSeries companion app has over a hundred profiles that optimize audio for a ton of popular games.
