Smart People Are Stocking Up On These Emergency Items During Prime Day

This compact seatbelt cutter and window hammer is a must-have in any car in case you need to make a quick escape. The metal double-head hammer can break through car windows, while the included blade can cut through seat belts if your car overturns, crashes, or sinks. The tools come with brackets for safe storage when it's not in use.

Having a charged phone is crucial for emergencies so you can get in touch with loved ones or call for help. This portable charger you didn't know you needed is ideal for travel; not only does it have a keychain so you can clip it to your bag, but it also has built-in cables to cut down on cord clutter. Able to charge up to four devices at once, the charger is compatible with tons of Apple products like Apple Watches, iPhones, AirPods and more, while also working with Samsung Galaxy and other Android devices. The charger comes in a bunch of colors.

I regret to inform you that you've been fooled about A LOT of the cleaning products you own. A professional housekeeper once told me that most cleaning solutions people use could be replaced with Dawn foaming dish soap. It's tough on baked-on grime for dishes yet gentle enough to clean your mirrors and all sorts of things in between. I haven't bought glass or stovetop cleaner in two years since that pro put me on. This and a good Clorox wipe are all I need for most messes, especially in the kitchen and bathroom.

This Dawn foaming dish spray, is probably one of the best Prime Day deals. The last time I bought it on Prime Day, the 4-pack with the refills genuinely lasted me for a year. Grab it while it's finally under $16 because it likely won't be on sale again for a while.

"May I just say, I am very INTO Liquid I.V. hydration packets," said Wynne. "I learned about it from old party animal friends who use it for hangovers. I'm not a big drinker, and just use it on really hot days or when I'm under the weather to get extra hydration in. It's also been great for traveling." These also come expert-recommended for preventing heat exhaustion.

Each powder stick contains eight vitamins and nutrients and can hydrate you more quickly than just drinking water. The sticks are also travel-friendly, since they're single-serving and come in a ton of delicious flavors.
