The end of Amazon Prime Day is quickly approaching, meaning there isn’t much time left to save on some of the best deals we’ve seen all year. The good news? You have until 12AM ET on July 12th to pick up whatever it is you’re looking for. You can still save on several Verge favorites, too, including noise-canceling headphones, gaming laptops, and a wealth of smart home devices. And if you’re working with a tight budget, there are plenty of deals to be had for $25 or less.
For instance, before you take that summer trip, you can save on an AirTag, which can tap into Apple’s vast Find My network. There’s also plenty of affordable smart home gear to choose from, including the newest Echo Pop, an Alexa-enabled smart speaker that’s great for setting timers and playing music. Meanwhile, you can catch up on your favorite shows with the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. There’s a lot more on sale below… at least for now.
Update, July 10th: Updated to reflect current pricing / availability and added a few more deals, including the Loop Quiet 2 earplugs.
I was told to be ready for anything before my daughter was born. I didn’t realize that included being at the ready to constantly fix her electronic toys. Do you know the horrors of the eKids Disney Frozen toy microphone? Well, now I’m an expert at tinkering with it. It wouldn’t have been as easy without Hoto’s 3.7V 25-in-1 Mini Electric Screwdriver, which is down to an all-time low of $28.49 (about $22 off) at Amazon.
Hoto’s mini electric screwdriver has become indispensable in my household for little projects, even beyond fixing kids toys. I’ve taken apart a few old cameras, and peered at the innards of an old laptop. The kit comes with 25 S2 steel bits, which Hoto says are more durable than standard CR-V bits. That means better wear resistance and corrosion resistance in the long term. I’ve had mine for a year and it still looks like the day it arrived.
The compact electric screwdriver features dual torque settings, with a simple one-button start. It’s roughly the size of a permanent marker, and on the rear end, there’s a USB-C port for charging. Everything comes housed in a rugged case, which features tiny labels for every component, ensuring they’re always in their correct place. It’s no DeWalt, so you can’t use it to mount shelves or put together furniture. But for my needs, this kit has come in clutch more times than I can count. If you’re planning to get into the DIY space or you want a low-effort way to fix your stuff, Hoto’s mini electric screwdriver is a good place to start for beginners.
That’s far from the only Hoto gear on sale for Prime Day. The Hoto Air Pump Pocket is discounted to $41.99 ($21 off) at Amazon, an all-time low. The rechargeable pump is approximately the size of a deck of cards and features a cleverly designed rotating nozzle, allowing it to adjust to a right angle in tight spaces. It can inflate tires up to 150PSI and features a digital display where you can assign two customizable presets, which is perfect for frequently filling the same tires. The also kit comes with a presta valve adapter, a quick connect valve adapter, and a needle valve adapter for pumping up basketballs and things of that nature.
Lastly, if you’re looking for something a bit more robust, Hoto is offering this 3.6V Electric Screwdriver Kit for $36.09 ($43 off) at Amazon, which is just a few bucks shy of its all-time low. This kit is ideal for making small- to medium-sized repairs around the house. Like Hoto’s other screwdriver kit, it comes with 25 S2 steel bits and a handy carrying case, which also includes an extension bar for getting into hard-to-reach places. It features three torque settings, a rotational speed of 220RPM, and an LED light for illuminating workspaces.
Amazon Prime Day is an excellent time to save on a wide range of big-ticket items, including 4K TVs, laptops, and the latest pairs of noise-canceling headphones. But if you, like me, are in the market for something more budget-friendly, rest assured that there are plenty of deals to be had for $50 or less. Thankfully, we’ve sifted through hundreds of discounts to find a host of Bluetooth speakers, charging accessories, video games, smart home devices, and other gadgets that come in under that threshold.
While Prime Day 2025 runs a little longer than previous installments — the event lasts through July 11th this year — these sub-$50 deals might sell out quickly. The good news is retailers such as Walmart and Best Buy are matching Amazon’s pricing in some instances, giving you more places to shop over the next few days. We’ll continue to update this post as Prime Day progresses, but for now, feel free to browse the options below.
Update, July 10th: Adjusted to reflect current pricing / availability and several new deals, including those for Catan and Lego’s Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica.
Amazon has solid discounts on laptops during its four-day Prime Day sales event. One of the nice things about shopping during Prime Day, even if you don’t have the requisite Prime subscription, is that Best Buy and others often follow suit with their own competing deals.
We found deals on models The Verge swears by — ones that should treat you well for years to come. A laptop purchase is extra tricky because it’s usually a multipurpose machine for a wide range of people with specific needs.
Amazon is a great place to shop for MacBook deals, as it regularly offers discounts on MacBook Air and Pro models. The current $150 discounts on the 13-inch and 15-inch M4 MacBook Air are pretty much a no-brainer for anyone currently in the market for Apple’s thin-and-light. They’re among the best laptops you can buy for just $849 and $1,049, respectively. The 13-inch was recently $50 cheaper, but the 15-inch is matching its all-time low.
Update, July 9th: Updated to reflect current pricing / availability and remove several expried deals, including one for Elgato’s Stream Deck Plus.
