I just moved into a new apartment, which means I have a laundry list of odds and ends to purchase—you know how that goes. The timing couldn’t be better because Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are here—but only through the end of today, October 9. It’s just like the Prime Day event that occurs each July when the e-tailer offers amazing deals on thousands of items across two days. So, in other words: It’s prime time to buy a new couch and upgrade my fall wardrobe. Speaking of which, Amazon is offering ELLE readers an exclusive $250 off luxury store purchases of $500 or more.

I went around the ELLE office asking my colleagues about the contents of their own carts. Scroll on to shop all the items we’re shopping for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.

YEXPINE Lightweight Utility Anorak Coat

“I’m completely enamored with the the cool ease of a utility jacket right now.”—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce lead

Go Smile On The Go Teeth Whitening Pen

On The Go Teeth Whitening Pen

“These teeth-whitening pods have been a game changer in my dental routine. I love that I can zero in on trouble areas (like the teeth my Invisalign brackets are attached to) for a customized way to refresh my smile throughout the day.”—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce lead

StriVectin Tighten & Lift Advanced Neck Cream

Tighten & Lift Advanced Neck Cream

“I’m not particularly worried about neck wrinkles—yet. And I’m hoping to keep it that way. This lifting cream is consistently one of the bestselling items among our readers. You guys love this stuff, and that means something to me. The best fix is early prevention, so I’ll be snagging a jar for myself during this sale.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor

Pawotence Lash Extension Kit DIY

Lash Extension Kit DIY

“Can’t lie, as much I enjoy the convenience of a professional doing my lashes once every few weeks, the initial cost of a full-set and subsequent maintenance fees aren’t the easiest on my wallet. This kit is my savior when I’m in a bind; the lash bands are thin enough to blend with my natural lashes, and the bonding is so durable I can get at least three days of wear before I need to re-do them.”—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor

WERFORU Leather Belt

Leather Belt

“If I’m being entirely honest, finding the right belt for a good price is work. Especially when you want something that can easily pull your outfit together in a few minutes. Thankfully, Amazon has tons of good options to choose from. I’m slowly incorporating belts into my fall wardrobe, and this one (which looks way more expensive than its under-$20 price point) is the perfect way to start.”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

Aestura AtoBarrier365 Ceramide Hydro Soothing Cream

AtoBarrier365 Ceramide Hydro Soothing Cream

“As someone who prefers potent actives and retinol in her skin care routine (we’re trying to reverse years of pimple-picking, people!), my skin needs a cushion every now and then to strengthen its barrier. If my skin could sing, it would belt out in a falsetto how amazing Aestura’s cream has been for my stressed, sometimes irritated skin. From the soothing ceramides to the weightless texture, this barrier cream allows me to wake up with a softer and smoother appearance.”—Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor

Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set

Satin Heatless Curling Set

“I was skeptical of all the heatless curling sets on TikTok, so I decided to test the trend for myself. This curler has quickly become my secret weapon for waking up with hair I can immediately leave the house with. Even on my thick, wavy-to-curly hair, this works like a charm and makes me look like I spent time and effort on my hair when I didn’t at all—plus, it’s actually comfortable to sleep in.” —Katie Berohn, beauty editor

Caseative Ripple Wave iPhone Case

Ripple Wave iPhone Case

“The thing I get the most compliments on by far is my silver, ripple-patterned phone case. It’s an instant accessory to every outfit, it’s durable, and it hasn’t yellowed. It also looks fantastic in mirror selfies, if you’re into that.”—Katie Berohn, beauty editor

ACCFOD White Crew Socks

White Crew Socks

“You caught me red-handed. I’m abandoning all my no-show ankle socks for slightly taller crew socks. The ongoing bit that you can tell a millennial by their socks is partially responsible, but mostly I just find myself drawn to these more. And that’s how you can tell I’m truly Gen Z.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor

Dr. Barbara Sturm Gentle Cleansing Balm

Gentle Cleansing Balm

“I hardly ever wear makeup these days... I mean barely. I’m just not in my glam era! But I do like to keep a cleansing balm on hand for those rare occasions that I don mascara. The fact that Dr. Barbara Sturm is on Amazon is such a blessing.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor

The Drop Kristy Ponte Kick Crop

Kristy Ponte Kick Crop

“I’ve been window shopping for a pair of kick flares for a while, but now that the warm months are behind us, it’s go time. I think these will make dressing for the office even easier, and I’m going with this affordable pair because I’m not sure yet if the style even suits me.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor

Larroudé Ines Pump

Ines Pump

“The perfect fall shoe now exists, and it’s Larroudé’s Ines Pump in Expresso Velvet. With a kitten heel and super-soft cloud memory foam insole, it’s polished and practical.”—Claire Stern Milch, digital director

Staud Taru Bag

Taru Bag

“I love a good oversized bag as much as anyone else, but the idea of having a smaller shoulder bag has been living rent-free in my mind for the fast few months. And considering how ‘brown suede bags’ is my most recent search term, I think I’ve found my match for the season.”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

OUTEXER Infrared Sauna

Infrared Sauna

“I know this item is quite a splurge, but I’m hoping to see a discount on this sauna. The sleek design won’t take up too much space, plus, the benefits (clear skin, stress reduction, immune system boots, etc...) make it worth the investment.”—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce lead

Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige Rechargeable Electric Power Toothbrush with SenseIQ

9900 Prestige Rechargeable Electric Power Toothbrush with SenseIQ

“I grew up with cavity-prone teeth, and now, I’m very much a teeth-conscious adult. I will not go to bed without flossing and brushing—ideally with an electric toothbrush. I’m a huge believer that investing in your teeth now will save you from thousands in dental bills later, which is why I use this top-notch electric toothbrush from Philips. It’s also perfect for travel, as the case is super compact and holds a charge.”—Carol Lee, associate e-commerce writer

Gold Lust Ritual Set

“This would be the perfect gift for the luxury hair care lover in your life, but let’s be honest—I’m scheming to try and snag one for myself.
