Prime Day was overwhelming enough when it felt like every single item ever was on sale for a single day. But in 2026, when you have four whole days to stress over all of the money-saving opportunities, some serious guidance is necessary. You could narrow down the best Prime Day deals by seeking out products at record-low prices or strictly shopping products that are at least half off. Another smart way to decide what to spend your money on is to see what other people already spent their own money on.

Below, we’re breaking down the top Prime Day items purchased by Mashable readers so far this year. If you’re still looking to shop, just know that Prime Day officially runs through the end of June 26. (Many deals quietly stay live for the day or two afterward though.)

Here’s what people have been adding to their cars:

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select

save $30 with code SELECT4K

Out of the laundry list of Amazon devices with heavy discounts for Amazon’s own sale, the $9.99 Fire Stick really called to Mashable readers. The Fire TV Stick 4K Select is already the most budget-friendly Fire stick, but a promo code appearing in the listing dropped it to just 10 bucks.

Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle

The chances of the Switch 2 itself seeing a direct discount are basically nonexistent. The next best thing is getting a free game thrown in with your Switch 2 purchase. With Amazon’s Choose Your Game bundle, you can grab a Switch 2 and a copy of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia for the regular price of the console alone ($499). Mashable readers were psyched to avoid dropping an extra $79.99 on one of the year’s most popular games.

New or current Switch 2 owners also used Prime Day to expand their console’s storage for cheap. Mashable readers flocked to the 256GB Samsung P9 Express microSDXC card, which is 50 percent off.

Bluetti Elite 30 V2 Solar Generator

$199
at Amazon

$285
Save $86

 

Get in loser, we’re touching grass this summer. That’s the vibe we’re getting from the popularity of the Bluetti Elite 30 V2, a compact little solar generator that’d be great for camping or a road trip. For less than $200, why not grab one as a backup for emergencies?

The color selection is certainly another big selling point: This compact generator comes in pink, blue, and purple on top of the expected black and white.

Pokémon Chaos Rising Booster Bundle

Mashable-reading TCG fans decided to skip the brawl over the Pokémon card restock at their local Target, scooping popular packs from Amazon instead. The Chaos Rising Booster Bundle dropped as low as $45.27 during Prime Day, fluctuating near the $50 mark throughout the sale. Amazon’s price is slightly more expensive than market value, but a few dollars doesn’t matter a whole lot when a Mega Greninja ex could be involved.

Apple AirPods Pro 3

$179
at Amazon

$249
Save $70

 

There were two popular pairs of Apple headphones among Mashable readers this Prime Day: The AirPods Pro 3 on sale for $179.99 and the AirPods Max 2 on sale for $399.99. Both were record-low prices, and the AirPods Max 2 have since sold out in every color. As of June 26, you can still grab the AirPods Pro 3 at their Prime Day price — they’re $40 cheaper than they were for Black Friday.
