Since its launch in 2015, Amazon Prime Day has become one of the most anticipated annual events for online deals. If you’re a Prime member, you can find exclusive discounts on items from small and large brands on everything from electronics to apparel to home goods.
This year, Prime Day takes place on July 16 and 17. You’ll need to be a member to take advantage of these deals, but there’s good news for non-members. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial right now and still score some great deals.
While you’ll have to wait for the actual day for the full list of deals, Amazon already has some items on sale. Here are some of the best items for under $30.
Vistop Splash Pad
- Price: $29.95 (originally $38)
Do you have kids or dogs? If so, Amazon’s got a great deal for a nonslip splash pad. It’s 59 inches in size and is perfect for your four-legged friends or children up to 8 years old. In addition to being nonslip, the pad itself is thick enough to keep from tearing even with pets.
Best of all, it’s easy to set up. You can also adjust the water sprinkler level and direction — either inward or outward — as desired for ultimate fun.
Zhuanglin Quick-Dry Water Shoes
- Price: $23.99 to $29.99
It’s the dead of summer, and that means there are still lots of beach days on the horizon. If you’re looking for some comfortable footwear that’ll keep the soles of your feet safe from rocks, debris and shells on the beach, pick up a pair of water shoes on sale right now. Prices vary by color and size, but you can find some for 31% off.
These particular shoes come in 22 colors. They have durable rubber soles and a fast-drying outer fabric material. They are lightweight, have breathable air mesh and come with some serious traction to keep you from slipping.
LuxClub Sheet Set
It’s never a bad time to buy new sheets for your bed, but why miss out on a great deal when it comes your way? This four-piece sheet set comes in a variety of colors, from Oxford blue to snow white to black. It includes a deep-pocket fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillowcases.
Thanks!
While this particular set comes in the twin XL size, you can also pick up the sheets in a twin, full, queen or king size if you prefer. The price varies by size, but even the biggest sheets are still a great deal compared with what you can find elsewhere.
These sheets are also wrinkle-resistant, machine-washable and silky. Even if you sleep hot — or are dealing with a heat wave right now — they’re bound to keep you cool.
Tunise Portable Handheld Fan
Whether you’re traveling this summer or just want to keep down on the electric bill, having a portable handheld fan never hurts.
This particular portable fan is quiet, rotates 180 degrees and has six different wind speeds. It’s also USB rechargeable, so you can charge it at home or at hotels. And if you don’t want to hold it, you can always set it on your bedside table or desk and keep it running.
Bedsure Cooling Throw Blanket
- Price: $21.99 (originally $27.99)
Who says you don’t need blankets in the summer? You might not want something exceptionally heavy, but a lovely throw that you can put over the back of the couch or at the end of your bed adds a nice touch to your home — and gives you the chance to cozy up on unseasonably cool evenings or when the A/C is set too high.
This lightweight, waffle weave throw blanket is specially designed for hot sleepers. It’s 50 by 70 inches and comes in 16 colors — including ivory, burgundy, dark green, purple and sage green. Whatever your style preferences, you’ve got options.
Prices are accurate as of July 8, 2024, and are subject to change.
