editors → end → purchase
With thousands of products discounted across some of our favorite brands, including Medicube, Mrs. Meyer’s and Anker, there’s no shortage of things that could end up in our carts.
uncertain
that → discount → carts
So what actually made the cut?
asserted
what → make → cut
I asked NBC Selected editors what they bought, and what convinced them to hit “add to cart.”

I’ll be updating this list frequently during the two-day sale as we continue shopping.

What our editors bought during October Prime Day
Nikki Brown, senior editor
Litter Genies have an impressive lifespan.
asserted
Genies → buy → lifespan
Before a little piece broke off the mechanism that keeps the top shut, mine was in nearly perfect shape for almost a decade.
asserted
mine → break → decade
I have no hesitations about getting a replacement because it’s one of the true workhorses of my apartment that makes cleaning the litter box easier.
asserted
cleaning → have → box
Shalwah Evans, senior editor
I always stock up on my favorite serum and moisturizer combo when it’s on sale during Prime Day because it’s one of those things that will continue to need replenishing.
asserted
that → stock → things
I love that I can use more serum and less moisturizer on days when I want more of that lightweight gel texture, or vice versa when my face is dry and the cream feels soothing.
asserted
cream → love → texture
Now that winter is coming, I’ll be going through this jar slightly faster, so saving $13 per jar is a big deal, especially since I tend to get multiples.
asserted
I → come → multiples
But it’s worth it to keep my face feeling soft and glowing but oil-free.
asserted
it → ’ → face
Mili Godio, commerce editor
It’s official: My AirPods Pro from seven years ago have finally reached the end of their life.

I → purchase → replacement
I love the active noise cancellation, which I use whenever I’m at the gym or locked in at work.

I → love → work
I also listen to music and podcasts to not go crazy during my commute, so a new pair is absolutely necessary.
asserted
pair → listen → commute
Cocofloss is my absolute favorite to use everyday, so I always stock up during a sale (especially since it’s on the pricier side compared to other flosses).
asserted
it → use → flosses
The dentist-approved floss glides easily between my teeth without tearing or fraying, and the minty flavor is nice and subtle.
asserted
flavor → approve → teeth
I discovered this body wash a few years ago after it went viral on social media, and I haven’t gone back since.

husband → get → it
It hydrates my dry skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth all day.
asserted

Cory Fernandez, commerce editor
Since my mom’s birthday is around the holidays, I’m planning on buying this as both a birthday and Christmas gift.

it → test → areas
It has fall detection, which is great for older parents, heart monitoring, sleep scoring and apnea monitoring, and blood oxygen tracking.
asserted
which → have → parents

I add this to my cart almost every Prime Day, and for some reason, I never end up buying it.
asserted
I → add → it
But this time, I finally got it.
asserted
I → get → it
I steal my dad’s Anker portable charger all the time when we’re on family trips, so it’s about time I get my own.

I love that it’s small enough to fit in my everyday crossbody bag, and the built-in folding connector is so convenient when I don’t want to bring around a charging cable.
asserted
I → love → cable
In my experience, it quickly charges my phone and AirPods — I’ve never been disappointed by it.
asserted
I → charge → it
Ashley Morris, associate SEO reporter
When trying products for our Medicube brand guide, I fell in love with how well this moisturizer worked for me as a night cream.
asserted
moisturizer → try → cream
My skin can get really dry overnight and I sometimes wake up with visible dry patches, all of which ceased to be an issue once I started using this.

asserted
skin → have → it
Joshua Rios, social video producer
I live alone and it’s been a blessing to not have to worry about who is going to restock the paper towels.

These are my absolute favorite eye masks, and even though my apartment is already stocked up, the deal on this pack of 18 pairs was too good to pass up.
asserted
deal → stock → pairs

asserted
eyes → love → bed
I especially love traveling with these — I’ve worn them on planes, trains, on car rides and probably everywhere in between.
asserted
I → travel → between
