Amazon's October Prime Day 2026 is happening right now, and ends at midnight on 7 October. As ever, it's a shopping marathon and with Christmas coming, you might want to take advantage of some of the best sales you can find on site right now because there are some great deals to be had.
If you often get overwhelmed by the avalanche of deals, I'm trawling though thousands of discounts and keeping my eyes on the best ones so you don't have to. It's my day job to shop for a living, so I have all the details about the Prime Big Deals Days and I'll keep you filled in!
Now with enhanced display features and faster page turns, this is the perfect gift for your bookworm child. Includes a cover, a 6-month Amazon Kids+ subscription, and a 2-year warranty - up to a £166.92 value.
"Dyson sale alert! This rarely happens, but the Dyson Airwrap is on sale for Prime Day and you do NOT want to miss out on this discount. This would make a great gift this Christmas, so perfectly timed to save some money"
"More than one of us on the team have a Shark vacuum and we're all hooked because of their durability, efficiency and power. I recommend you shop a Shark hoover deal if you're currently wanting to upgrade your vacuum - you won't be disappointed!"
"Apple deals are always a huge winner with HELLO! Shoppers and I spotted the Apple Airpods in the Prime Day sale - a chance to shop a really great piece of tech we use everyday, for less."
"If you don’t already have an electric toothbrush, Prime Day is the time to get one. There are some great offers up for grabs, like this Oral-B iO5 Electric Toothbrush. It’s a hugely popular product on Amazon, with over 600 being bought in the last month alone - and features five cleaning modes, a pressure sensor and an Oral-B app that tracks how and where you brush your teeth. Customers noticed healthier gums within one week of use."
"If you've been thinking about buying a pair of trending Adidas trainers, now's the time. There are so many deals on sneakers, but this one stood out because the shoes are so on-trend and go with everything, from jeans to dresses."
"If Victoria Beckham and Hailey Bieber both rate a product, you know it's worth a look. And when it has a discount, even more so! A blend of gentle viola tricolor, calendula and chamomile, in a rich base of pure plant oils - Weleda Skin Food gives your skin a real glow. Several members of the HELLO! shopping team are fans too - check out the full review here."
"Princess Kate and Cat Deeley's trusted shampoo with a massive discount? Don't mind if I do! Our head of Lifestyle and Commerce Leanne Bayley is a massive fan. She says: 'Infused with a gentle protein-rich formula, this shampoo is super hydrating and is known for having a cult-like status. It's even believed that Princess Kate uses it as well, though that's never been confirmed.'"
"The Karcher Window Vac is loved by Stacey Solomon, Vogue Williams and Ruth Langsford swear by this handy cleaning device for streak-free windows, mirrors and tiles."
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Prime Day has traditionally been a 48-hour sales extravaganza offering discounts on hundreds of products from big brands like Apple, Shark and Ninja plus huge deals on everything from fashion and beauty to home and garden. Now there are two big Prime deal events in a year - one in July and one in October. The October event lasts for two days which is the perfect amount of time to score some major discounts, whether you're waiting for a big ticket buy or hoping to save on your daily needs.
HELLO! loves a good celebrity bargain and this year we've found some amazing deals taking place over Amazon Prime Big Deals Days. If you want some more deals to obsess over, how about these?
Do I need an Amazon Prime Membership to get the Amazon Prime Day deals?
In short, yes. Customers who haven’t yet joined Prime can sign up now or begin a free trial at Amazon Prime (click here for US) to unlock access to exclusive savings, and benefit from fast, free delivery on millions of products. You need to be an Amazon Prime Member to get access to the specific Prime Day deals, though you don't necessarily need to pay. You can sign up to a 30-day free trial, which can be cancelled anytime thereafter. After the trial runs out it’s £8.99 / $14.99 a month. I also like to highlight deals for non-Prime Members, too, so no one misses out. Young adults aged 18-22 can become a Prime member and enjoy all the same benefits for half the price at £4.49 per month or £47.49 a year, which also gives them access to exclusive discounts on thousands of textbooks, clothing, travel, accessories and more.
When is Prime Day 2026?
The Prime Day event starts Tuesday, 6 October and runs until midnight on 7 October.
