My Fashionable Aunt Asked Me to Shop Amazon for Her

Today, the Amazon Prime Day sale officially starts after a lead-up of early deals, and my aunt was the first to text me about it. Looking for advice, she wanted to know the best way to shop it and whether I had any recommendations on what to prioritize.

As I put together a list for her, I kept a few things in mind. For one, she's a busy mom on a budget, and she's incredibly stylish. I wanted to include a mix of easy wardrobe staples that she'll get plenty of wear out of, helping her make the most of her money. I know she loves Madewell, so I sent her four pieces from the brand that match her style: the Essential Belted Bucket Tote, the Shopper Tote, the Petite Wide-Leg Jeans, and the Hera Grommet Mary Jane Flats.

Whenever Prime Day comes around, our editors like to use it as a time to restock beauty products I already use or finally try items I've been hesitant to buy at full price. So, I made sure to send my aunt some of my favorites: French pharmacy must-haves, Paula's Choice's exfoliating toner, Hanni's body moisturizers, and Wonderskin's lip stains. She also loves DedCool's Xtra Milk perfume, and a bronzy, glowy look, like Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Sunshine Drops.

There are plenty of home deals worth browsing as well, so I shared a handful, such as the Little Green Machine, which several people on our team swear by. Other standouts include the Hatch alarm clock, Vitamix immersion blender, and Cosori air fryer.

Below, shop clothing, beauty, and home discounts from the Amazon Prime Day sale until June 26.
