Amazon Prime Day is no longer one glorious day of deals just for Prime members. The flagship Prime Day now spans four days in July, and Amazon has added another annual event in October, too. This year, Prime Big Deal Days returns on October 7 and 8. Amazon says its October Prime Day event will deliver millions of deals across categories, giving customers a head start on holiday shopping.

Before the sale begins next week, it’s worth mapping out what gifts you need to buy or which household goods need restocking. But if you're eager to get an even earlier jump on the holiday shopping, we have some good news. Early deals are already starting to creep in. While there aren't a ton of deals to shop yet, there are some real gems.

Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 denote an all-time low price.

Best Apple deal

$249 Save $50

Why we picked this

"The second-generation AirPods Pro offer top-tier sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, and a battery life of about seven hours per charge. They're our current favorite earbuds for Apple users, though that may soon change once we finish testing the newer AirPods Pro 3, which have a different design and five swappable ear tips (up from three), even better active noise cancellation, Live Translation, and extra health features. They're a pretty significant upgrade on paper, but if price is your biggest concern, the AirPods Pro 2 are $50 cheaper for the time being." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Why we picked this

"In the lead up to Amazon's October Prime Day, we're looking across categories for the best early savings. One of our favorite categories — headphones and earbuds — is looking a little sparse when it comes to deals, but that's not to say that there are no good early deals. We've found a few great ones.

Ahead of Prime Day, find the Beats Studio Buds for 47% off. That saves you $70 off its typical $149.95 MSRP. The Beats Studio Buds deliver well-balanced sound and active noise cancellation in a small package. Plus, like AirPods, they have easy connectivity to iOS systems, but unlike AirPods, they're also well-suited for Android users." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, 13.8-inch (Snapdragon X Elite, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)
$1,041 at Amazon
$1,399.99 Save $358.99

Why we like it

"The 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7 with a Snapdragon X Elite chip is our favorite Windows laptop for most people. It's beautiful, it's about as fast as an M4 MacBook Air, and it lasts for nearly 23 hours on a single charge — that's two longer than the M4 Pro-powered MacBook Pro, the longest-lasting MacBook we've tried. (Before you buy it, just double check that its powerful ARM-based CPU is compatible with your go-to apps.) The black variant with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage is marked down to $999.99 ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, which is a 29% discount on its $1,399.99 MSRP. It very briefly fell to $918.47 in late September, but this current offer beats its Prime Day deal in July." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Insignia 65-inch QF Series QLED 4K Fire TV

$499.99 Save $200

Why we picked this

"The most affordable 65-inch QLED TV we're seeing so far is the same one that was the cheapest 65-inch during Prime Day over the summer — but it's even cheaper now. Snag Insignia's QF Series QLED for $299.99 versus $329.99 in July.

If you've never had a QLED TV before, this XL Insignia model is a great low-stakes opportunity to upgrade. Customers in the reviews seem to be more than satisfied with its picture quality and color vibrancy for the price. As a budget QLED, you can't expect this model to stunt in HDR like a premium Samsung QLED would. But compared to your old LED TV, you'll quickly see the difference those quantum dots are making — they'll especially pop when watching football in the daytime." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best Kindle deal

Kindle Unlimited
$0 at Amazon
$35.97 Save $35.97
Free for 3 months (save $35.97)

Why we picked this

"The best Kindle deal isn't actually on one of Amazon's e-readers. Instead, Amazon is offering three months of Kindle Unlimited totally free. Think of it like a streaming service, except for e-books. Joining Kindle Unlimited gives you access to the Kindle Unlimited library, from which you can borrow. But unlike the library, there's no due date on these borrowed books; the only restriction is that you can borrow up to 20 books at a time.

Leading up to and during Prime Big Deal Days, you can join Kindle Unlimited for three months — totally free. The promotion is available to everyone, even if you've already used up your free trial. This is a $35.97 value that you can score without spending a penny. Plus, you don't actually need a Kindle to enjoy Kindle Unlimited. You can read from the Kindle library on your smartphone, tablet, or web browser." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Why we picked this

"There's no way around it: A shit ton of people are going to buy AirPods this October Prime Day. But for those who aren't married to Apple's earbuds (or how often they seem to break), just know that the latest version of Amazon's Echo Buds with ANC are just $34.99 after a 71% discount. That beats their Prime Day price from July by $10, and you could get five pairs of Echo Buds for less than the $199.99 sale price of the AirPods Pro 2.

Amazon's noise cancellation doesn't level with the effectiveness of those AirPods or other top noise-cancelling earbuds, but casual music or podcast listeners may not care at this price point." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best robot vacuum deal

iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Robot Vacuum & Mop 🔥
$399 at Amazon
$668 Save $269

Why we picked this

"When it comes to robot vacuums, I always turn to Mashable's in-house robot vacuum expert, Leah Stodart. When I asked her about these deals, she pointed out that iRobot marked down the Roomba Plus 405 to $399.99, making it one of the most affordable combo robot vacuums and mops. That saves you $265.01 off its list price of $665 for 40% off.

The Roomba Plus 405 includes both vacuum and mopping abilities, featuring strong suction to really scrub at dirt and grime. It features four cleaning levels that you can adjust from the iRobot app. Plus, its dock not only empties the vacuum, but even cleans the mopping pads for a truly hands-free experience.

While we're not sure what other combo vacuum and mop deals are coming during Prime Big Deal Days, we can safely say that the Roomba Plus 405 is one of the best deals you can get ahead of the event." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Why we picked this

"The Garmin vívoactive 5 was recently replaced as the newest model by the vívoactive 6, but the 5 still holds a special place in our hearts. This is what we'd call a perfect all-rounder fitness tracker, perfect for tracking long runs and cycles while also still having a great range of lifestyle features like sleep tracking, stress levels, and body battery. It's also a vast improvement over the vívoactive 4, and even has a bright AMOLED display, making it appear even more high-tech." — Lois Mackenzie, Mashable contributor
