I’m an Amazon Shopping Editor, and These Are the Only October Prime Day Deals You Need to Shop

Fall foliage, pumpkin carving, and cozy clothing are just a few of my favorite parts of autumn. As a shopping editor, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days has also made that list the past couple of Octobers — and this year is no different. 

The two-day shopping event is packed with millions of deals across categories. During the sale, I’m grabbing a handful of items from Yankee Candle, Shark, Apple, and more. I also found October Prime Day deals that should be on your radar, including a Dyson vacuum with a rare discount and cozy slippers from an Oprah-approved brand.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle

I love the Kindle I got as a gift four years ago. But it has a pretty slow response time, so it’s time for an upgrade. This lightweight Paperwhite turns pages faster than previous models, plus it has a large screen. I feel comfortable toting it everywhere — be it on rainy commutes or beach trips — thanks to its waterproof design. The bundle also comes with a fabric cover and power adapter.
