When is Amazon Prime Day 2026?

🎉 Amazon Prime Day 2026 is LIVE right now — June 23 through June 26! Scroll down for my top 14 picks. Deals are dropping FAST so don't wait.

Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs NOW from Tuesday, June 23 through Friday, June 26, 2026!

Why do I need this list for Prime Day 2026?

The very best and very trickiest part about Prime Day 2026 is that there are so many people shopping for the same thing! Things do sell out because the prices are that good.

I rounded up all the items that we think pose the very highest sell-out risk that will give you the most FOMO if they were on your shopping list. These are the top items we're seeing so far that you should buy very first before they have a chance to sell out!

1. BEST toothbrush

I know I know, I’m obsessed with a toothbrush but I have to tell you this story!! My friend whose dad is a dentist went to get her teeth cleaned at his office, and the hygienist said, “what toothbrush are you using? Your teeth look so clean!! They look like you just had a professional cleaning and you don’t even need one today!” 😱 I’m telling you, this toothbrush does a better job than my $230+ Sonicare did, and it’s on sale 42% off for $32 right now!

2. Shark FlexStyle Pro — even better than the Dyson Airwrap

The newest version of this Shark FlexStyle is honestly an even better buy than the Dyson Airwrap, and here's why: it comes with a straightening tool too, so you can blow dry, curl and dry, straighten and dry, AND round brush dry — all with one tool. It also comes with the Flyaway tool. Even from Dyson, you have to buy at least two different tools to get all of these same effects! On sale for the best price ever!!!

3. Puzzle board — perfect summer non-screen activity

This puzzle board would be such a good summer kids-at-home, bored, non-screen activity! It's a GREAT deal at $42, and the ratings are incredible.

4. Ninja FrostVault Cooler

The built-in FrostVault™ Dry Zone drawer in this Ninja FrostVault Cooler is LIFE CHANGING. It keeps food cold (below 40°F!) but completely dry for up to 2.5 days, which means no more soggy snacks. I'm DYING to get it in pink!!! (You can see my full Ninja FrostVault review here.) It's on sale for $249 instead of $300 which is THE BEST price for this size. Plus the pink one has wheels!

5. Peptide under-eye mask

Peptides in an eye mask. Just trust me on these babies. Most effective I’ve ever used. And 11,000 people on Amazon agree!! One reviewer said, “I look like I drank water and minded my business.” The sale price makes them $0.79 a piece which is insane.

6. My summer foundation — glowy CC cream with SPF + skincare built in

This is the foundation I’ve been wearing more than anything else this summer. It gives the most incredible glow. A little goes a long way, but it also has sunscreen built in and skincare, so it’s like everything you need all in one bottle. And this is absolutely the stock up price you want at $25 (normally you'd have to spend $40!).

7. The beach bag I’m obsessed with — folds flat, sand rinses off

I’m so obsessed with this bag. I have it in two different colors. What most people don’t know is it folds completely flat, so it’s perfect to take on a beach vacation. It’s plastic, so the sand rinses right off. It’s huge, so you can take towels and everything you need to the beach, and it’s so cute you’ll wanna die. It’s on sale for 40% off in the prettiest beige color!!

8. Our family’s favorite summer scents (also a great teacher gift)

My kids are absolutely obsessed with these (I am too, I ALWAYS have one with me)… THESE are the best summer scents hands down and they’re 20% off. This is how we gave them as teacher gifts at the beginning of last school year!

9. The instant “glass skin” spray nobody talks about

This instant “glass skin” spray is INSANE and I never hear anyone else talk about it?! I get compliments on my skin EVERY TIME I use this stuff. $27 instead of $34 right now.

10. The box cutter you actually NEED if you order from Amazon

I rarely say you “NEED” something, but if you’re getting Amazon packages sent to your house, YOU NEED this. No more using your kitchen knife or scissors to cut boxes open. It won’t damage the contents inside OR hurt you. My husband bought me Aritzia sweats for Christmas and opened the box with a box cutter blade, and there’s a line/snag down the front where he cut the box open. That will never happen if you use this! 24% off today.

11. The cheese shredder that resolves your childhood trauma

If you don’t already have one of these, your life is about to change. No more anxiety about shredding your skin while shredding the cheese. Plus, this gets it done in seconds!! My childhood trauma resolved in one product. On sale 20% off!

12. My favorite travel steamer

I’ve tried a lot of travel steamers in my day, and this is my very favorite one!! On sale for $45, regularly $60!

13. The Bissell stick vacuum we love so much we have two

We love this vacuum so much we have two of them, and this is the best deal I have ever ever seen on it, by a LOT. This vacuum checks every box: it’s cordless, lightweight, easy to maneuver, and IT CAN STAND ON ITS OWN!!! Not even the most “Cadillac” stick vacs do that. Literally HALF OFF. BEST PRICE EVER.

14. The best pillow I’ve ever used in my entire life

If I have not converted you yet to this pillow, I have failed. Because it is quite literally the best pillow I’ve ever used in my entire life. The story on this: when I was on bed rest for six months, I crowd-sourced my followers on IG, asking them what the best pillow was. I pared the list down to the top three most suggested over and over again and bought all three of them to test out, and THIS ONE was my very favorite, hands down. It’s so good that I had to buy a second because Neil was stealing mine!! On sale for $71 instead of $90!
