Though we’ve said our goodbyes to Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, we haven’t quite let go of all of the great deals. There are still quite a few amazing offers up for grabs. To save your time and energy, we’ve found a number of items well worth shopping, from tech to games, home goods and more — all of them costing $25 or less. That means plenty of potential gifts, too — because the end of the fall Prime Day event means we’re officially into the holiday shopping season. But don’t wait to buy because these are likely the final hours for many of these discounts.

When does Amazon Prime Day start?
Amazon’s October Prime Day-style event, Prime Big Deal Days, has come and gone. It began on Oct. 8 and ended on Oct. 9. Some markdowns in the annual sale are still available, though, and may stay for a few more days.
Do Prime deals change throughout the day?
Unfortunately, yes. All the deals listed here and on Amazon are subject to change at any given time. Here at CNET, we’re constantly going through our pages to make sure they are updated with the latest prices. Since prices can change, if you see something you like, we recommend buying it as soon as possible before the price changes, the deal expires or the item becomes unavailable.

How we choose the best Prime Day deals
Many of us at CNET have covered shopping events for over five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day, and countless other sales. In that time, we’ve learned how to spot the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams. We only surface the best offers from trusted retailers. When choosing the best deals to show you, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time.
- Real discounts mean genuine savings. We check pricing history for products listed as on sale to determine when a list price is inflated rather than an actual discount.
- Quality reviews and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn’t worthwhile if it results in a subpar product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- The remaining sale time is important, too. Some deals are only around for a short time or may be limited in supply. If that’s the case, we’ll let you know upfront so you don’t come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
How do Prime Day deals compare with Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals?
Amazon’s Prime Day event and Black Friday/Cyber Monday have many similarities. Anecdotally, Black Friday tends to have better deals on large ticket items such as TVs, home appliances and laptops, whereas Prime Big Deal Days will tend to focus on more everyday essentials and items under $25.
If you are looking for a good bargain on stuff you are likely to need all year round, buy them during Prime Big Deal Days. If you are looking for that “once-a-year” bargain, Black Friday is probably your best bet. If you want to beat the holiday rush, there will be plenty of items on sale that make great gifts for loved ones.
