Early Prime Day deals under $50: Shop for a Ninja blender, Sony headphones, and Lego sets

Amazon Prime Day is set to kick off on June 23, running though June 26 this year. It’ll be a great time to save on tech, home appliances, and back to school gear. But like all Amazon sales, you might not have to wait for the official start day to cash in on major savings. In fact, sometimes it’s better to shop early and avoid potential shipping delays.

Amazon has already dropped prices on plenty of great items like noise-cancelling headphones, Apple Watches, and portable power stations. But if you’re sticking to a budget this summer or you’re shopping for an affordable gift, the early sale has a great selection of options that cost under $50.

We’ll continue to update this list as we get closer to the official sale. For now, these are the best early Prime Day deals that cost under $50.

Best Amazon Echo deal

Why we like it

When it comes to sorting out the best Amazon Echo device, the Echo Spot wins as the best model that serves as an alarm clock. While spending about $80 on a smart speaker combo alarm clock might feel steep, today’s sale price of $44.99 brings it down to a much more comfortable level.

The Echo Spot is easy to set up straight out of the box and it has customizable faces and sounds. Plus, it’s the perfect compact size for your nightstand.

Best headphones deal

Why we like it

If the price alone doesn’t convince you, consider the awards the JLab JBuds Lux ANC have won at Mashable. They’re our top pick for best budget headphones this year, the best noise-cancelling budget pick for flying, and the top budget headphones option for students.

In addition to having decent ANC, they have great battery life, getting up to 70 hours of total playtime or about 40 hours with ANC turned on. We’re also pretty smitten with the colorway options.

Best kitchen deal

Why we like it

Ninja makes a variety of exceptional kitchen appliances, but if you’re short on counter space, the Ninja Fit compact personal blender might be the best option. Use it to whip up a daily smoothie, a weekend frozen margarita, or a dessert chocolate milkshake. The Ninja blender comes with the 700W motor base as well as two 16-ounce Ninja cups and lids that are perfect for taking your blend on-the-go.
