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.

Hoto’s mini electric screwdriver comes with 25 S2 steel bits and a handy carrying case. | Image: Hoto
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.

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.

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.

The UE Wonderboom is also available at Best Buy for $49.99, just a few bucks more than the Amazon discount.
The UE MinirollUltra is also discounted to around $47 ($32 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is the lowest price we’ve seen on the compact Bluetooth speaker.

It’s small enough to throw in a hip bag, too, and can be clipped to everything from your shower head and backpack to the handlebars on your bicycle, allowing for ultimate portability.
Amazon and JBL are currently offering the JBL Go 3 — one of the smaller Bluetooth speakers available — for $27.95 ($12 off), which is just a few dollars shy of its best-ever price.

Just note that, due to its small stature, you only get five hours of continuous playback.

The game recently received a next-gen update for the Switch 2, essentially providing players with a remastered experience featuring sharper visuals and smoother animations. With a lack of new titles for the Switch 2, Odyssey is an excellent way to fill the time until Donkey Kong Bananza comes out on July 17th.

The excellent mouse is the sister to what was once our favorite gaming mouse, the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s mid-tier M4 Pro chip, 24GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD is $2,249 ($250 off) at Amazon. Its M4 Pro has 14 CPU cores and 20 GPU cores, so it’s suited for most creative applications like photo and video editing. And it still has excellent battery life to match all that power.

The Acer Swift 16 AI is on sale for a very low $799.99 ($450 off) at Best Buy. It’s the 16-inch version of the Swift 14 AI I recently reviewed and mostly liked. But the best part of the bigger Swift 16 over the 14 is it maintains the plethora of ports and has a much higher-quality screen, with a 2880 x 1800 OLED panel. Its other key specs include an Intel Core 7 Ultra 256V (Lunar Lake) chip, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. This is quite the spec list for 800 bucks.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition
Lenovo’s Lunar Lake-powered laptop features a sizable 15.3-inch IPS display with crisp 2880 x 1800 resolution, as well as loud speakers and a great keyboard. It’s got far from the best trackpad, but the Core Ultra 7 256V processor inside it is a pretty snappy performer for an everyday Windows machine. Read our review.

It’s got an AMD Ryzen 7 AI CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD — all housed in a portable 14-inch chassis. The larger 16-inch Asus TUF F16 with RTX 4050 is $849.99 ($250 off) at Amazon.

Elgato Prompter
A teleprompter is a luxury. They help you make it look effortless to look at your camera as you read from a script or a chat log. Elgato’s option includes a small screen and a mirror, the latter of which allows you to see what you need to look at without breaking eye contact with viewers.
Razer’s Basilisk V3 Pro gaming mouse is currently on sale for $90.04 (about $38 off) at Amazon. It’s been slightly cheaper before, but this is a good price for the RGB-laden gaming mouse with a speedy sensor, ample customization, and a tiltable, fast-scrolling wheel.
The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless gaming mouse is down to $59.98 ($60 off) at Amazon in black, though you can also get it in white or a translucent “ghost” color for $69.99 ($50 off).

It has a good sensor, tri-mode compatibility (wired, 2.4GHz, and Bluetooth), and bright, colorful RGB lighting — especially in the ghost version.
SteelSeries’ expansive Arena 9 surround sound speaker system is selling for $449.99 ($230 off) at Amazon. The 5.1 speaker setup features a boom-y subwoofer, wireless satellite rear channels, and customizable RGB lighting. Read our initial impressions.

The Insta360 Link 2C webcam is available for $99.99 ($50 off) at Amazon. This is the more affordable, non-movable version of Insta360’s webcams, and while it doesn’t feature a gimbal to follow you around, it does offer 4K video and an f/1.8 aperture for low-light settings.
If you want a cheaper webcam, the Logitech Brio 100 is on sale for just $23.74 (about $16 off) at Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon. It supports 1080p video, features a built-in sliding privacy cover, and should be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2. Just be aware that its five-foot USB-A cable is built in, so there’s no swapping it for a different length or connector.
