It's official: Prime Big Deal Days 2025—aka October Prime Day—has officially come to an end. Throughout the past few days, we saw competitive discounts up on top-tested tech, toys, and more. If you missed out on the sale, don't worry—deals are still happening.

We weeded out the great discounts from the phony sales to curate a list of the best October Prime Day deals that are still live following the event.

SHOP DEALS THAT ARE STILL ACTIVE

When considering all the discounts on Amazon, we specifically checked products and brands that have been tested by the scientists, engineers, and experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute. If any of these products are on sale, you can trust it's a worthwhile deal (we'd recommend it whether it's on sale or not).

Ahead, find our picks for the best discounts we're seeing this October, from new kitchen gear to toys that make great gifts, comfy blankets, and advent calendars for the holidays.

Is Prime Big Deal Days worth it?

  • Yes, Prime Big Deal Days is worth shopping. Ever since the sale event was announced mid-September, an array of discounted items became available as early deals on the e-tailer's site—many of which reached up to 40% off. As we predicted, those desirable discounts continued throughout the sale event (with an emphasis on gifts and toys).
"...Amazon's October Prime Day is actually my favorite time to get my holiday gift shopping done."

"Since the holiday shopping season has been progressively getting earlier and earlier, Amazon's October Prime Day is actually my favorite time to get my holiday gift shopping done," says GH Editorial Commerce Director Jessica Teich. "Waiting until Black Friday and Cyber Monday feels foolish when there are so many great deals to be had earlier in the season—and, if you shop now, you don't have to worry about potential inventory issues and shipping delays spoiling your holidays."
