Every Amazon Prime Day, there’s a regular rotation of products that we’ve come to expect will always be among our top sellers. But then, every year there’s a few surprising standouts that manage to fly off the shelves just as quickly as the latest innovation from Apple or a vacuum from Dyson.

This time around, the bestsellers that are not among our usual lists of suspects include a weekly shower cleaner that you quite literally spray and forget, a clever caddy for your overstuffed refrigerator and cooling eye stick the hydrates and soothes. Plus tons of other practical basics worth stocking up on and an adhesive shower caddy set that’s a whopping 73% off its original listing price.

HuffPost and its publishing partners may receive a commission from some purchases made via links on this page. Prices change quickly on Prime Day, so keep checking back to see the latest updates. Make sure to sign up for an Amazon Prime account to get the deals.

Amazon

Rubbermaid 22-piece set of storage containers (16% off list price)

The containers with 71,000 5-star ratings are rarely on sale, according to our tracker, and seem to do it all: They're stackable, airtight, leakproof, BPA-free and safe for use in the microwave, freezer and dishwasher. Use them for meal prepping, storing leftovers, general organization and more. They even have steam vents built into their lids so you can pop them into the microwave as-is.

Amazon

Hape three-story dollhouse (60% off list price)

Shopping editor Emily Ruane writes: “Our girls' besties have this exact dollhouse at their house and it's been a source of conflict at playdates in the past. (And before you question the “source of conflict” descriptor, know that that's parent shorthand for “insanely popular and hugely in demand all the time.”) I mean, how could you not have trouble sharing this thing?! It has freaking solar panels and chic midcentury lighting. (And yes, it comes with all this furniture.) This is an insanely deep discount. Time to get one for our house!”

Amazon

A Toniebox starter pack (41% off list price)

Ruane also spotted this beloved interactive toy. “My children have had only brief interactions with this delightfully screen-free toy — which enables kids to play songs and stories from the speaker by placing a magnetic figurine on top — but their reactions have been quite enthusiastic, and I've been thinking about taking the plunge on one of these for quite some time,” she wrote. “I keep pretty close tabs on the sale price for this particular bundle, and the price hasn't been this low since December of last year. This is definitely a good time to buy it.”

Amazon

La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios SPF 60 sunscreen (25% off list price)

While we know our readers are fans of popular sunscreen brands like Supergoop! and EltaMD, a lesser-known French brand's formulation sped to the top of our bestsellers list this July. La Roche-Posay's cult-favorite broad-spectrum sunscreen is formulated specifically for sensitive skin, with a milky formula designed to melt into the skin and absorb quickly. Folks love it for protecting their skin, awarding it 7,000 5-star ratings on Amazon.

Amazon

Cetaphil baby wash and shampoo (20% off list price)

We know our (presumably adult) readers are big fans of Cetaphil products for themselves, so it shouldn't really come as a surprise that a baby product from the skin care brand made our list of top-sellers. (We were still a little surprised.) This tear-free wash contains soothing calendula and aloe vera for a gentle clean. The product also has an astonishingly near-perfect rating (4.8 stars) and over 5,000 ratings. One reviewer has used it on her sensitive-skinned kids for eight years.

Amazon

A 24-pack of felt tip PaperMate marker pens (36% off the list price)

These colorful PaperMate pens are Shopping writer Haley Zovickian's favorite — they're my go-to for color-coding my various planners, calendars and notes, and for making edits on my writing. Their medium-point felt tip point is just right, delivering clear but not too-thick ink, and I love how the assortment of colors consistently draws my eye (and thus my attention). Plus, they don't smudge!
11
Amazon

A two-pack of satin pillowcases with 229,000 5-star ratings (57% off the list price)

Shopping writer Haley Zovickian says: “I've written previously about how much I depend on satin and silk pillowcases for keeping me cool as I sleep and preventing hair frizz and indentations on my skin. I'm in dire need of more, and I think these Bedsure cases are the ones I'll spring for: Great for preventing those pesky sleep indentions on the face and preventing hair frizz, these Bedsure pillow cases are made of an ultra-smooth satin, feel cool against skin and are an even better budget-buy than usual thanks to their hefty Prime Day discount. They come in a plethora of colors, four sizes and packs of four. Less than $6 for two satin pillowcases is a steal — and this matches the set's lowest price of 2024.”

Amazon

Lement KN95 masks (67% off the list price)

This discounted pack of 50 KN95 masks happens to match its lowest price of the year.

Butter London's Horse Power nail rescue basecoat (30% off list price)

If you're not always on TikTok, then you might not be familiar with this power Korean serum that's been trending for its use of a unique ingredient not commonly found in American skin care formulations.
