10 most popular products Mashable readers bought on October Prime Day 2026

Table of Contents

Mashable’s shopping team loves to help our readers stretch their dollars further. During October Prime Day (and every other day, for that matter), we’re relentlessly scanning product listings, tracking prices, and curating the best deals for y’all so you can get more bang for your buck. We’ll shout about our favorite tech deals, which Apple products are at all-time lows, and what deals we think are actually worth it. But when it comes down to it, one of the best ways to decide what to add to your cart is to see what other people already added to theirs.

Below, we’re breaking down the top 10 deals Mashable readers purchased during Prime Big Deal Days this year. If you’re still looking to do some shopping, the official October Prime Day event wraps up at the end of the day on Oct. 7. Although, you may still be able to snag a few lingering discounts in the days following.

Here are the most popular items Mashable readers are adding to their carts:

Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration swag

The Pokémon 30th Celebration expansion has been fluctuating in price since it came out, but you can request to buy it at $159.99 (just $11 above market price) for October Prime Day. And Mashable readers have been submitting invite requests left and right. It comes with nine titular booster packs, a full-art foil Nidorina promo, 16 foil Basic Energy trading cards, 65 sleeves, dice, a coin, dividers, a player’s guide, and a Pokémon TCG Live code card. The Booster Bundle is also a hot ticket item for Prime Day, which includes six booster packs from Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time pre-orders

While preordering the physical edition of Nintendo’s upcoming remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 typically costs $69.99, Amazon has it on sale for $59.88 for Prime Big Deal Days. Many Mashable readers have already secured the game for less, so don’t miss your shot ahead of its Nov. 5 launch.

A pastel pink Owala FreeSip

The Owala FreeSip is the water bottle of the moment and the 24-ounce Twist, which easily slips into backpack side pockets and cup holders, is on sale for under $20 for Prime Big Deal Days. This baby pink (referred to as angel food cake) has particularly called to Mashable readers, but several other color options are discounted as well.

A swanky 3D printer

We love a good splurge, and the popularity of this swanky 3D Printer from Bambu Labs shows our readers do also. As Mashable contributor Soumya Kumar puts it, “The Bambu Lab P1S earns our top spot because it nails the trifecta: speed, output quality, and pure convenience.” It’s approachable for newbies, but powerful enough for seasoned vets.

The latest AirPods Pro

There’s no denying the AirPods Pro 3 are great earbuds, but we like them significantly more when they’re on sale. While we regularly see the price tag drop to $199, it’s rarer to see them at $179, making this a smart purchase.

The 11-inch classic iPad

Over 20 Apple gadgets are at record-low prices this October Prime Day, but none of those gadgets are iPads. Still, there are plenty of iPad deals worth grabbing and readers are flocking to the classic iPad. It’s on sale for just $399, making it the most affordable iPad option by a long shot.

Sony’s flagship noise-cancelling headphones

The latest flagship headphones from Sony come with a steep price tag, so any chance to get them at a discount is worth taking. For what it’s worth, Mashable’s tech editor says they mostly justify their full cost, thanks to elite noise cancellation, a comfortable fit, a travel-friendly design, and close to the best sound he’s ever heard.

This cutie mini power bank

We all suffer from low-battery anxiety, so it’s no shock here that readers are scooping up this mini power bank. Plus, it’s pretty cute and small enough to fit in your palm.

A hefty Yeti cooler in violet

Yeti deals are rare, so this 25% discount on the classic Tundra 45 hard cooler is certainly worth adding to your cart. And if you’re a big Yeti fan like me, several other deals on drinkware, camping gear, and more are worth a second look.

Kindle e-readers and accessories

Literacy crisis be damned. Mashable readers are buying Kindles (particularly the last-gen basic Kindle, the last-gen Kindle Paperwhite, and the brand new Kindle Paperwhite) in droves. Plus, we’re seeing folks securing their pre-orders for the new Kindle Click, aka the page-turner of our dreams.
