Amazon Prime Day starts on July 16th and goes through July 17th, 2024. There will be deals of the day, lightning deals, and deals that last through the entire time period unless they sell out.
And they do sell out, so I recommend buying when you see a deal and not waiting until later! If something on this list is no longer showing as a prime day deal, that means it sold out. You can see the full list of Prime Day deals right here!
I do make commissions on the items in the list below so if you take my recommendations and purchase anything from this list or anything else on Amazon, I will receive a minimal commission on the purchase. I only include things that I’d recommend anyway but wanted to make sure you were aware!

I went through the entire list of deals and put together one-stop shopping lists of some of our favorite things in particular categories! If you click on the lists below, they’ll take you a shopping list for 50 of the best deals in each of the categories! Hope you’re ready to shop!

Outdoor Entertaining Deals
Since it’s the middle of the summer and outdoor entertaining (hello water games) and summer parties are such a big thing right now, I thought I’d start off with some of the best deals that you can use right now!
This includes things like the best giant yard games, speakers, and more to make your summer parties the best possible!
Outdoor Firepit
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve spent sitting around an outdoor fire pit spending time with friends and family. This is a great time to buy one that you can use all year long for s’mores, tailgating, and just hanging out! One of my favorites!
Since we’re already talking about fire pits, these cheap fire color changing packets a fun way to spice up the typical bonfire! Or really just entertain people with different colored flames – my kids loved them!
If you don’t have a Blackstone flattop grill yet, now’s a perfect time to get one. They are the perfect grill for entertaining because not only can you grill things, you can also cook things like ham fried rice, veggies, and so many other things in minutes and for tons of people at a time! We have one and LOVE ours!
There are a number of these type of games out there but this one is so fun because you could be the best of the best at throwing and the ground has different ideas! We’ve played this (and other wood throwing games) with my entire family ages 5 to 75 and they’re always a blast!
There are tons of bluetooth speakers on sale but I love this one because it looks like a rock so it’s not the same eyesore a lot of regular bluetooth speakers are. It’s perfect for playing the perfect party playlist!
This one’s perfect whether you’re camping, having a party at the beach, having a backyard party or really a party anywhere! You can load up this baby with up to 330 pounds and roll it around anywhere you need! Plus, it folds up super compact to store in your garage or yard!
This is the cheapest I’ve ever seen these and let me ask you – have you ever been laying in a hammock and having a bad time? Want people to relax and have fun? Hang up some hammocks!
There are a ton of different giant yard games out there but Giant Jenga is a simple one that everyone knows how to play and somehow it’s fun every time! Or you can check out my full list of outdoor game deals below to see tons of others like cornhole, ladder toss, and more!
While it may not look pretty, this snow cone maker gets rave reviews as the perfect way to crunch ice for snow cones. And what is better on a hot day than a freshly shaved snow cone?? My kids would love for me to get one of these!
While a cooler is always a great option, if you can spring for a mini fridge to have outside for ice cold drinks all the time – it’s always a nice bonus! We have one at my parents house and keep it stocked all the time with drinks. It’s so nice to not have to go inside or keep the kids out of the ice!
These little guys come in various colors and they’re all on sale! They fold up super small and are light enough that you can carry them wherever you want in your yard! They’re perfect for adding additional table area for drinks, snacks, and more! I already bought myself a white one but may get others too!

Top Deals on Fun & Games
If you’ve read my site for long, you know I’m a big advocate of making life more fun. These are some of the most fun products that I found in the Amazon Prime Day deals! We’ve used all of these things in our mission to make life in our home fun, and I hope you love them too!
Pandemic Legacy
If you’ve read any of my best board games posts, I always mention Pandemic because it’s still one of my all-time favorite cooperative games! But the Legacy versions take it a step forward because they continue for up to 12 games (or more if you lose) and the things that happen during each game, well those change the rest of the games. It’s awesome, especially if you have someone you can play with regularly!
There are so many fun things you can do with these boards with younger kids! Race to fill in the blocks, do letter and number games, all sorts of things! My son loves activities like these where they are so tactile and fun!
Okay so Splendor is one of the games in my top board games for adults list but this Marvel version is even better because collecting gemstones – totally fits the Marvel theme! Buying this one for my own family this year!
Forget bikes and scooters, wiggle cars are where it’s at! And this one is super fun because it has a larger seat (so more people can use it), a bluetooth hookup to play music, and a power pedal so you can actually get going! My boys love these and this looks like one of the best!
We have a ton of the classic versions of these games that are kind of like doing an escape game at home and this kids version looks awesome with less scary themes, less challenging puzzles, and more! Highly recommend!
LEGOs don’t go on sale often so when they do we always scoop them up for birthdays and Christmas gifts! There are a bunch of LEGOs on sale but this car pack was a huge hit for my son’s birthday this year because it’s all the pieces you need to make tons of different cars! My husband built a race track and the kids built and raced cars for hours!
While the main Ticket to Ride board game is also on sale (and also great), the junior version is actually almost more fun! It’s perfect for kids and the changes they’ve made to turn it into a junior version are awesome!
This is one of my favorite game night games – it’s pretty much like playing Catch Phrase or Taboo or something similar but with a twist – you can only say one word clues! It’s hilarious, easy for everyone to play, and a lot of fun!
There are a TON of board games on sale this year, but I didn’t want to list them all in this post. You can see all the board games in my full list of games here!
Top Party Supply Deals
If you’re planning on parties anytime this year or century, here are some great items to stock up on for all of those hosting duties! I’ve included just the things that I personally have and love, but there are tons of other kitchen and home deals too!
Popcorn Maker
This isn’t just a nostalgic popcorn maker – it also dispenses candy and it’s so much fun! The perfect way to upgrade movie night, carnivals, and pretty much any party!
I don’t know if you really need a description other than everyone needs one of these. It holds wrapping paper, bows, cards, ribbons, tape, and scissors. Everything all in one place so wrapping all of those gift exchange gifts and birthday presents is a breeze!
I use charcuterie boards at least once weekly for well dessert boards, cheese boards, and even just movie night snacks! This is a great deal on one that has various layers – it also makes a great hostess gift!
Want to serve milkshakes? Smoothies? Fruit and yogurt parfaits? These are your key AND they’re almost 70% off right now so it’s a perfect time to stock up!
Whether you’re hosting a party outside or inside, I feel like I always am in need of cozy blankets! We have a couple of these and they’re reasonably priced and SO soft. My boys love them!
Okay so hear me out because this one’s for you, not your party guests! But there is nothing better than a nice soak in the bathtub after hosting a party where you haven’t had a chance to sit down in 24 hours! This also makes a great Christmas gift, hostess gift, or gift exchange gift!
Make those folding tables a little prettier (and less messy) with these simple fitted tablecloths! They go on just like a sheet with fitted corners around all the edges! Grab some neutral patterns you can use all year long!
There are so many great party deals on sale! You can see all of them in my party deals list!
Fun Kitchen Deals
I know my way around a kitchen and while we might have every kitchen tool ever invented that doesn’t mean you have to as well. These are some things that are on sale for Amazon Prime Day that I think are worth investing in, especially if you like to or want to cook!
Crabby Kitchen Tool
Whether you love cooking or not, this just makes being in the kitchen even more fun! This brand actually sells a bunch of really fun (and useful) kitchen tools like this crab utensil holder, a dracula garlic crusher, and a nessie ladle (love!). You can see all of their items in my fun kitchen tools list!
We have a Cosori air fryer and it’s easily the most used item in our kitchen. It’s amazing. And this is the best deal I’ve seen one a top one in a long time. If you don’t have an air fryer, it’s time. If you have one, it may be time for an ugprade with this deal!
Having a pizza party or just want to do a family pizza night? This is the key! And it’s portable so you can pretty much make pizza anywhere you want. And pizza is always a good idea!
I’m sure you’ve seen these all over social media but snackle boxes are perfect for parties, road trips, beach days, movie nights, and more! I definitely bought a couple of these for my fam!
Ice cream in minutes? Perfect milkshakes every time? The Ninja Creami is super popular right now for good reason and this is the perfect time to buy one if you’ve been eyeing one like I have for a while!
This kind of multi-tool makes meal prep so much easier! While I may not personally use this for onions, it’s also good for slicing up all sorts of things like potatoes (perfect for my air fryer fries recipe), tomatoes, and more! A kitchen must-have for sure!
Okay so most of us probably havre nesting mixing bowls but these are nesting mixing bowls and measuring cups. It’s so cool and the perfect space saver in kitchens when space is a premium! There’s even a sieve and colander in there!
Want to make fun shapes with fruit, pie, sandwiches, cheese, and more? These little mini shapes are the perfect way to do that! Add stars to your 4th of July fruit salad, bunny rabbits to your Easter cookies, and more! Or just make an every day meal more fun!
I prefer waffles to pancakes but pancakes are SO much faster to make! But this double waffle maker makes it so much faster to make waffles for a crowd whether that be your family or a party because it cooks two at one time! So cool!
Okay so this may be a weird thing to be recommending but if you use a slow cooker, liners are a game-changer! And Prime Day is the perfect time to stock up on essentials for the fall and holidays! Soups, meatballs, and all sorts of things can be made with no mess with one of these!
These things are awesome if you shred meat (and who doesn’t shred meat). Whether it’s shredded chicken to put in buffalo chicken dip, pulled pork for sandwiches, or really anything – these make it so easy. They also make a great gift exchange gift!
If you like to use freshly grated cheese (parmesan on top of pasta, cheddar on top of Cincinnati cheese coneys or mac and cheese), then you need one of these. It’ so much easier to grate by just spinning it in a circle than it is to hand grate something. We grate a lot of cheese, so I know!
There are SO many kitchen essentials for sale, I just highlighted a few above. If you want to see all of my favorite options, make sure to check out my kitchen essentials deals list!
Gift Exchange Ideas
Okay so this is a bonus category this year that I thought would be fun to add! These are some of the best deals I’ve seen on ideas that I think would be fun to give as either white elephant gifts or just for regular gift exchanges!
They’re all in that $15-$30 range at normal price that most gift exchanges are! You don’t have to tell anyone that you scored them for sometimes up to half off!
These are just some of my favorites, if you want more ideas, I have an entire list of gift exchange deals here!
Nessie Ladle – okay so everyone has a ladle but this one is so ridiculously fun that you’ll want to make soup or sauce or something just so you can use it. Way better than a normal ladle plus it won’t scratch pans!
Label Maker – who doesn’t need a label maker? And this one creates super cute shaped labels, colored labels, and labels for pictures! You could even use it to make cute gift wrapping and more!
Personal Clip On Fan – this looks like a cute little octopus with its flexible legs, but it’s honestly perfect for clipping onto so many things – strollers, car seats, treadmills, bike handlebars, and more! We have one and love it!
Personal Hug Blanket – I love this blanket so much. It has a message on it that will make people feel loved every time they put it on. It may seem like a funny idea, but I love the idea so much!
Hilarious mug – this mug made me LOL as soon as I saw it, so I know it’d be a good one for a white elephant or mug exchange!
Sharpie S-Note Markers – have you ever wanted to be able to write pretty words or color something in but with permanent Sharpie? This is your chance. I have a set and they’re the best!
