If you didn’t already know, Amazon is hosting an October Prime Day with deals galore on practically everything. So you know I’m browsing the huge sale for the best steals and deals ahead of the holiday season , and I found some stellar finds starting at $8.

I spend hours researching and testing products for work, which means I know a thing or two about the best finds online. These are just a few reasons why I’m considered Real Simple ’s Amazon shopping expert , and I use it to my advantage when browsing for myself. And during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event , I found discounts on items from top brands like Coach, Laneige, and Voluspa—all of which caught my eye while they’re up to 58 percent off.

Before you start shopping during Amazon’s big October sale , I have to say one thing: The sale is infinitely better (and cheaper) with a Prime membership.

Voluspa Santiago Huckleberry Large Jar Candle

$44

$28

Voluspa candles make a wonderful Christmas gift, which is why I’m shopping this Santiago Huckleberry scent before it sells out. My mom actually has a candy cane scent that she only brings out in December, but she can light this amber pick all fall long. It has a long burn time and delivers notes of huckleberry, sugar cane, and vanilla. Oh, and the jar is absolutely gorgeous.

Beaully Flannel Plaid Shacket

Amazon

' title='Beaully Women's Flannel Plaid Shacket'>

$46

$26

Pumpkin picking trips are on the horizon, so I’m thinking of getting this flannel shacket that’ll keep me warm and looking effortlessly stylish. It’s made with durable polyester, comes in fun plaid patterns, and has an oversized fit perfect for layering.

Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer

$40

$22

I love Laneige’s Water Bank moisturizers because they’re thick and hydrating, aka perfect for winter. As someone with perpetually dry skin , I’m always searching for deeply moisturizing face creams. This one is jam packed with nourishing ingredients like squalene, peptides, and hyaluronic acid in a formula that soothes and melts into the skin.

Coach North Tote Bag 32

$350

$295

I’m due for a new work bag that’s functional, durable, and high-end looking. The Coach North Tote checks off all the boxes, and then some. The bag is made with a lightweight PU leather that looks expensive but is practical to carry thanks to its scratch resistant nature. I love the roomy interior that can stash all my office essentials, including my laptop and headphones.

PrettyGarden Chunky Knit Pullover Sweater Top

Amazon

' title='PRETTYGARDEN Women's 2024 Winter Pullover Sweater'>

$56

$29

This cute sweater top has been on my radar all month, but I’ve been holding out until it went on sale. In fact, the top is on sale and has an additional coupon for extra savings, bringing the price down to just $29. It’s designed with a crew neckline, waffle knit sleeves, and a relaxed fit. And since it comes in 19 colors, I can grab a few.

Mcool Mary Ruffle Sock Pack

$19

$13

I just love the little ruffle hem on these cute socks ! I’m trying to break out of my usual ankle-sock style with these quarter-length options, which will go nicely with loafers and booties. The pack comes with three colors (white, gray, and black) so I can change up the look based on my wardrobe pieces.

Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur

$15

$8

I started reading more books this year, and this New York Times best-seller has been recommended to me so often that I couldn’t help but be influenced. The book is filled with short, inspirational poems that are heartfelt and reflective. I also love that various poems are paired with lovely sketches, which were illustrated by the author herself.

BearKig Fashion Double-Sided Tape Pack

$10

$8

In addition to shopping dresses for the holidays, I’m also picking up a pack of double-sided fashion tape . Anything that’s a little too low cut tends to show off a lot of cleavage, which I don’t personally love. However, these sticky tapes will keep fabric in the right place, eliminating the need to pull or tug. I appreciate that the strips also work for loose straps and backless dresses, too.

These are just a few editor-loved deals happening right now. To shop the entire sale, be sure to check out Amazon’s October Prime Day hub for even more deals.
