Best Amazon Prime Day sale 2025: Standard Shopping's expert edit of the deals to know

It’s about that time of year again. Amazon has released the dates of its famous Prime Day sale, and there’s a surprise this year - instead of the usual 48 hours, Prime members will get a whole 96 hours to shop the retailer’s exclusive discounts.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?

The dates to know? July 8 - 11.

What exactly does Prime Day mean on Amazon?

In case you didn’t know, Prime Day is simply how Amazon refers to the annual sales extravaganza it holds every summer for its Prime membership holders. The name is counterintuitive as it actually takes place over a fair few days - four, this year, to be exact. You can sign up for Prime at any point during the sale to enjoy slashed prices across home and garden, tech, clothing, Amazon-own products, and so much more.

What’s new this year?

But that’s not all: there’s more newness in store. There will be a new section called Today’s Big Deals, which will showcase daily themes, plus a New Deal Drop feature that launches at midnight every night of the sale for limited-time offers.

If you’re after tailored recommendations, turn to Rufus, Amazon’s AI shopping assistant, who can answer specific questions about Prime Day and make deal suggestions based on your needs, saving you hours of trawling across millions of deals.

Who can access Amazon Prime Day deals?

As always, this sale is exclusive to Amazon Prime membership holders only, so if you’ve yet to sign up, there’s never been a better time to do it.

Prime members get more than access to the sale’s exclusive prices and express delivery. They will also unlock a world of streaming, gaming, reading, audio and entertainment through the various arms of the Amazon universe. Heretic, Hugh Grant’s chilling thriller, has just been listed on Prime Video, free for subscribers, while millions of playlists and podcasts can be found on Amazon Music.

Find the full list of benefits - including discount Odeon cinema tickets and Deliveroo perks - right here.

How much is Amazon Prime membership?

All this will set you back just £8.99 a month (or £95 a year if you’d rather pay annually). Students get a sweeter deal at £4.49 per month or £47.49 per year. If you’re still not sure, why not sign up for a 30-day free trial to test the service before you commit?

What do you get with Amazon Prime membership?

There’s a special offer on right now. Prime members can enjoy three months of Audible absolutely free until July 31. This includes one bestseller or new release each month and thousands of included audiobooks, podcasts and Originals.

What kind of deals were there last year?

Aside from Black Friday, Prime Day is the biggest sale on Amazon’s calendar, so expect discounts to be deep and wide-reaching.

Big-ticket items generally perform well, with TVs, home security systems, kitchen appliances, and cleaning machines seeing hundreds wiped off their RRP. If you’re holding out on buying a new mattress, Amazon Prime Day is a great time to make your money go further with models from Simba and Emma.

This year, we’ve been promised that big brands like Bose, De' Longhi, Dyson, Lego, Shark, CeraVe, Ninja, and Sonos will all be in the mix.

Are there any discounts available at Amazon now?

This is Amazon we’re talking about - of course there are. If you’re looking for inspiration to add to your shopping basket, we’ve found the best deals to snap up right now.

Ninja Foodi StaySharp Knife Block with Integrated Sharpener Deluxe 6-Piece Set

Available in 5, 6 and 12-piece sets (the largest set includes six additional steak knives), the Ninja StaySharp Knife Block is a brilliant kitchen accessory investment if you’re not the type of home chef that switches between multiple different brands and types of knives depending on your mood, or what you’re cooking.

The StaySharp Knife Block streamlines the home kitchen experience tenfold and is a value-for-money investment in owning consistently sharp knives – without the need to purchase an additional, likely cumbersome and fiddly v-groove knife sharpener.

The included knife set, no matter which option you go for, consists of a selection of elegant, perfectly weighted, and brilliantly designed 22-degree blades. Equipped with delightful ergonomic handles, they have the look and feel of a professional set at a fraction of the cost.

Sony WH-CH720N

Best for: Sony for a steal

Sony is a brand that needs no introduction. And while it may no longer be the striding all-consumer-tech colossus it once was back when it lent its hand to phones, laptops and TVs, when it comes to personal audio, the big S is still winning over the fans. Especially now that said person's audio is more affordable than ever.

In this instance, I speak of the WH-CH720N over-ears that became available much earlier this year. Priced at just under the ton mark on release, savvy ear-users can now pick these up for just £64. No, your eyes do not deceive you.

So, what do you get for this next-to-nothing, cost-of-living-pleasing price? For a start, a relatively minimalist-looking pair of ear-huggers with all the requisite buttons required to play and pause, skip back and forth, adjust volume and answer calls placed neatly on the right earcup. Which sees to the basics. Then you have Bluetooth 5.2 offering both a reliable connection and multi-point to keep your essential gadgets paired up. Effective ANC keeps unwanted racket at bay, while an Ambient option lets you allow some sound in on the off-chance you need to keep an ear out.

Then there’s the sound. Featuring a more diminutive set of 30mm drivers, what they may lack in scale is more than made up for by the inclusion of 360 Reality Audio which works to surround you in a nicely balanced bubble of audio that lends your music a welcome feel of space, helping to fend-off the annoying but inevitable issue of listening fatigue.

Light too, at just 192g, they may not be the most comfortable cans I’ve had clamped to my noggin during the course of these reviews, but for £64, they’re more than acceptable.

With the Sony Headphones Connect app available to make minor adjustments to set-up, quality, relatively expense-free ANC is now available for the masses.

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (32GB)

Amazon’s latest Kindle device is the Colorsoft, promising the best reading experience yet.

Though indeed complete with a premium, high-quality display with fantastic auto-brightness and temperature adjustment features, don’t expect the Kindle Colorsoft to render book covers and comic book pages like an iPad or tablet would. Part of what keeps Kindle lovers coming back for more is the easy-on-the-eyes, non-backlit and impressively paper-like display which truly helps users feel like they’re getting a break from classic screens.

Though it doesn’t add a whole lot more to the Kindle options already on offer, if you’re in the market for a new device, it does have some lovely features. These include the colour and glare-free display, as well as an eight-week battery life, a built-in auto-adjusting front light and a waterproof finish.

LEGO Disney Lilo and Stitch Beach House Construction Set 43268
