It's time to start thinking inside the box — that is, thinking about what you'd like to see inside your next Amazon box... (Getty Images)(Getty Images)
We — and probably a bunch of other people — owe you an apology for trying to bogusly psych you up over the past month or so. You know what we mean: Ooh, it's Memorial Day — yay, summertime! Followed by, Ooh, it's Father's Day — yay, summertime! Then, Ooh, it's Bloomsday (that would be June 16) — yay, summertime! Lies ... all lies! But we're coming clean when we say that this is, in fact, the first official week of summer 2025, and these are, in fact, the best Amazon deals with which to inaugurate the season.
Prime Day is slated to kick off July 8, but who wants to wait? Here's a bunch of straight talk on some real steals that are happening now. Over the heat already? This nifty Shark misting fan can provide relief whether you're inside or out, and it's currently down to a record-low $50 off. Planning a summer getaway? Keep your suitcase tidy courtesy of an 8-piece packing cube set, also down to an all-time low at just $14. Want to avoid waking up with sweaty hair? Some cooling pillows can do the trick — a pair is just $24, nearly 75% off.
So many ways to accentuate your summer! Which is now. Officially. (Again ... sorry.)

In case you're not familiar with the "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).
How do I love these leggings? Let me count the ways: For starters, the material is so soft and smooth that it rivals Lululemon's, and the wide waistband provides ample support without feeling too constricting. The fabric is also moisture-wicking to prevent me from feeling super sweaty while I'm working out, and they pass the squat test. Stock up while you can save up to a rare $13 each.

Sunscreen is important year-round, but especially now, when we're spending more time outside, and with more skin exposed. This one made it onto our list of the best SPFs for your face, and it's even approved by medical pros.
"This sunscreen has been clinically tested and shown to give better sunburn protection compared to sunscreens with lower SPFs," says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, a New York City-based dermatologist. Plus, it's formulated to absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue and will cost you just nine bucks.
Thin, crepey skin sneaks up on us the older we get, and this cream — which I happen to be a fan of — was formulated to target just that. It's enriched with antioxidants, botanical ingredients and omega-fatty acids to help replenish skin's moisture for a firmer, plumper appearance. In a study conducted by the brand, 82% of participants said they noticed visible results on their arms and hands in two days. I have to say, it performs like a cream at least triple its price, so pick up a bottle while it's on sale.
These K-beauty bestsellers have taken social media by storm thanks to their exfoliating properties. They contain ingredients like white willow bark, citric acid and botanical extracts to target enlarged pores, blackheads, whiteheads and excess oil, which promotes a smoother complexion with smaller-looking pores. At over 50% off, they're down to their best price since 2024.
Say cheese! Your journey to brighter teeth just got a lot easier, thanks to this whitening kit. All you do is apply the gel to your teeth via the pen for 30-60 minutes a day, and after five days, you should see a difference (as much as 10 shades whiter). You'll get about 30 treatments out of this pack, and at 60% off, this is one of the best prices we've seen it marked down to. Now that's something to smile about.
If you're looking for a low-cost retinol treatment to help with dark circles and eye wrinkles, this is for you. RoC is the premier name in over-the-counter retinol, and its eye cream is highly rated, with nearly 40,000 5-star Amazon reviews. 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 this price, this cream honestly cannot be beat.
Why not swap the painful (and tedious) string floss for this oral-hygiene hero, which gently yet effectively uses a stream of water to dislodge anything trapped between your teeth. It was designed to be compact enough to travel with (it's cordless!), and this is as low as we've seen it since October.
"My dentist recommended a Waterpik," noted a former skeptic. "I was dubious, but at my next dental visit, my gum pockets had decreased in depth after daily use. I like this model, as [it] takes up very little bathroom counter space and it needs recharging only about once a week with daily use."
Work can be stressful enough without having to endure a stuffy office. Keep cool this summer courtesy of this little (and, given that it's 6 inches tall, I do mean little) wonder that plugs right into your laptop — or any compatible device — via USB cable. It has multiple speeds to choose from, and it's so compact that you can even take it on the go. And oh yeah: It's 40% off!
This might be the coolest (pun intended) gadget I've seen all year. No, misting devices are nothing new, but this one does triple duty as a pedestal and tabletop fan. It can be used indoors or outside, has up to an impressive 70-foot reach and can lower temps by as much as 12°. There are five speeds and two breeze modes to choose from, oscillating and tilting options ... in short, if you're looking to cool down this summer, you can't go wrong. Did I mention it just dipped to an all-time low price to boot?
Thanks to AirTags, I can track my bags from drop-off to the plane to the luggage carousel. And even when the worst happens, and my bags end up in Orlando when I'm in Michigan (true story), I know where they are and how to find them.
"First, we bought one Apple AirTag for my husband's wallet. Then we bought a second one for his car keys," said this repeat buyer. "Now, we have a four-pack, which is cheaper, for our golf bags and checked roller bags."
Prefer a sleek tablet over a heavy laptop? Look no further. 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. That said, this is the most recent version of this iPad, which makes this markdown extra noteworthy.
Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw, who specializes in all things tech, says, "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."
If a smaller screen suits your needs, you won't do much better than this highly affordable No. 1 bestseller. It's equipped with Alexa voice control and is compatible with Apple AirPlay, meaning you can pair it with your Apple device to broadcast photos and videos on the screen. Plus, at a mere $75, it's close to its best price of 2025.
Make fighting with your family members over power outlets a thing of the past, courtesy of this electrifying gadget. It's equipped with five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their iPads, iPhones, MacBooks (you get the picture) all at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor — and you won't have to worry about tripping over it.
No, it's not a massive discount, but this top seller is within a dollar of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).
If you've had one of these bad boys on your wishlist for a while, I'd urge you to scoop up this deal while you can. Why? Well, the discount brings this top-selling model down to one of its best prices ever (it's only dipped lower twice). Roomba and robovacs are pretty much synonymous at this point, and the fact that this one doubles as a mop makes the 43% markdown even sweeter.
Bye-bye, soggy bath mats: Yahoo readers are adding this ultra-thick, impossibly soft rug to their carts in droves. It's made of highly absorbent, quick-drying chenille microfiber that'll soak up excess water from your feet in a jiffy, and its plush texture will feel like heaven after your shower. At over 45% off, it's down to its lowest price yet.
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.

When it's too hot to turn on the oven, it's this compact countertop cooker to the rescue. With one-touch settings for fish, chicken, meat and fries, it'll have a meal on the table in minutes, and with little to no oil. Plus, it's less than a foot wide, so it won't take up much space. This over-40% markdown is the best I've seen, and there's also a model with a viewing window on sale for just $5 more.
Imagine this: You're stopped at a red light when the car in front of you starts to back up. Before you have time to think, let alone drive away, bam! They hit your car, but claim you rear-ended them. Unfortunately, these kinds of insurance scams happen all too often, and unless you have a dash cam that shows what actually happened, you might be shelling out a lot of dough to make this problem go away. Fortunately, high-quality dash cams don't have to cost an arm and a leg: For instance, this dash cam is on sale for its lowest-ever price thanks to this lightning deal.
Those floppy headrests you're sleeping on aren't doing your neck any favors, but you can snag this plush, supportive pair for its lowest price to date (over 50% off).
They were designed to be comfy whether you're a stomach, back or side sleeper, and the cooling cover and moisture-wicking material help prevent things from getting sweaty on stuffy nights.
Get those pesky pests back for years of itchy bites, courtesy of these tennis racquet-like zappers. Unlike your standard fly swatter, these have 3,000-volt grids to shock bugs — just wave one at 'em, and you'll hear the satisfying sound of them being fried to a crisp. (Ew, but better than letting them take over your patio!) They also have bases, so you can prop them up on a table to lure mosquitoes. They're down to their lowest price yet — just $1 more than a single swatter — so grab them before bug season is in full swing.
Swimming in a pool? Fun. Cleaning a pool? Not fun. Let this aquatic robovac do a lot of the dirty work for you. It'll suck up dirt and debris at the bottom of the basin and run for up to 150 minutes before needing to be juiced up.
It also comes with a hook so you can retrieve your new favorite gadget without getting wet, and this is its lowest price since, well, ever.
The Iniu charger usually goes for $30, making it a juicy 38% off. Compared to similar power banks, this is an absolute steal, especially for something with 10,000 mAh of power. And this is just above the best price ever, so no need to look elsewhere.
"Loungewear looks luxe when it's monochromatic," explains Senior Style Writer Rebecca Carhart. "Even though this set is casual, it feels so sophisticated and exemplifies the rich mom aesthetic that's been trending for a while. The pale apricot hue is a dream, but there are 17 colors to shop. And since they're all on sale right now, I'm using this opportunity to grab a few options to mix and match."
My price trackers tell me this set has rarely been on sale for less than it is now.
There's no such thing as having too many warm-weather tops, and this one's on trend with its slightly oversized fit. Tuck it in for a bit more shape or leave it loose for a flowy look; plus, the cap sleeves make it look more elevated than your average tee. Prices vary among the 20 available colors, but several are down to $8 — just a dollar more than their all-time low.
