PEOPLE Picks is a monthly roundup of products the people behind PEOPLE Shopping actually buy — and love.
If Black Friday is a shopping editor's Super Bowl, Prime Day is our playoffs. We've been training all year for autumn's sale bonanzas, tracking the steepest discounts on the best brands, keeping tabs on the 'It' items that rarely get marked down, and rigorously testing popular picks so you know what's worth it — and what isn't.
I polled my fellow shopping editors and writers on what they're personally picking up during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, also known as October Prime Day. The answers varied from Lego sets to pretty purses, with tons of home decor and beauty faves in between.

Echo Dot Smart Speaker (5th Generation)
$50
$23
"I know this isn't the worst problem to have (by any means), but I get seriously annoyed having to constantly move my Alexa from room to room when I want to listen to music. I also like to bring mine with me when I travel, so I want one that's a little more compact like the Echo Dot. " — Alyssa Grabinski, celebrity shopping writer
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
$24
$17
"I can't go to bed without this nourishing lip mask. It gives my lips a boost of hydration that lasts through the night, so I can wake up to a soft and supple pout instead of instantly reaching for my lip balm. I add it to my cart whenever it's on sale. (Which is hardly ever, FYI!)" — Clara McMahon, Amazon shopping writer
Crest Whitestrips Whitening Treatments
$46
$30
"A bright smile is the best accessory, but I don't have the time to sit in my dentist's office for an expensive treatment. These whitening strips give me the same professional-looking results from home in the time it takes me to watch an episode of The Bachelor." —Cai Cramer, shopping writer
Lego Icons Flowers Bouquet Building Set
$50
$40
"I received this Lego orchid set for Christmas last year and had so much fun building it. My bedroom doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight, so this is a good plant alternative to display on my dresser. I'm eyeing this colorful bouquet now for my dining table or bookshelf. " — Alex Nelson, senior shopping editor & strategist
Easeland Pillow Top Mattress Pad, $32 with coupon
Amazon
$50
$32
"I overhauled my bedding last year, and when my sister came to visit, she raved about how comfy my 'new' bed felt — partly thanks to this fluffy mattress topper. I'm gifting it to her while it's discounted, so she too can feel like she's sleeping on a thick cloud." — Lindsey Greenfeld, senior shopping editor
Tineco iFloor 3 Wet/Dry Cordless Vacuum
Amazon
$260
$220
"I'm going to surprise my aunt with this Tineco vacuum for her birthday because she asked for gifts for her new apartment. She can vacuum dirt and mop sticky messes with one tool. Plus, the low-profile, self-standing unit makes it easy for her to store." — Toni Sutton, shopping writer
NuLoom Ansley Rug 7' x 9'
Amazon
$200
$153
"This rug adds warmth to any room without breaking the bank. It feels soft and vacuums well, and guests always compliment its stylish boho look. I just wish I had waited to buy it since it's currently at its lowest price of the year!" — Genevieve Cepeda, shopping writer
The Gym People Longline Sports Bra
Amazon
$27
$23
"If I'm not at work, you can probably find me at the gym — so I'm constantly in need of cute new sports bras and leggings to get my sweat on. This longline sports bra looks just like my trusty Lululemon Align Tank, except it's a quarter of the price." — Alyssa Brascia, shopping writer
Qustere Pimple Patches
Amazon
$13
$5
"These pimple patches are miracle workers for pesky breakouts. They come in multiple sizes, and they're clear, so I don't feel embarrassed about wearing them out of the house. The best part? They actually work." — Averi Baudler, senior shopping writer
Quzudn iPhone Charger 2Pack
Amazon
$16
$8
"I'm always running to events after work, and between Google Maps, rideshare apps, and constant usage, my phone lives on the brink of death. I rely on my lightning charger to get me out the door on time with a comfortable battery percentage." — Madison Yauger, shopping editor
Souper Cubes Silicone Freezer Molds
Amazon
$35
$30
"It's Crock-Pot season, and while I love the set-it-and-forget-it cooking method, I usually end up making way too much food. These freezable silicone molds are great for storing leftovers and meal prepping. " — Erin Johnson, associate shopping director
Glow Recipe Pink Juice Moisturizer
Amazon
$23
$21
"My skin drinks up this gel moisturizer from Glow Recipe, which is rarely on sale. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and leaves my skin looking plump, healthy, and glowing." — Nicola Fumo, senior shopping editor
Fotbor iPhone Screen Protector 3 Pack
Amazon
$9
$8
"My iPhone screen protector has been cracked for months, and I'm sick of looking at it. So I'm grabbing a new one — or three. — Alyssa Grabinski, celebrity shopping writer
Black+Decker Dustbuster
Amazon
$30
$25
"Vacuuming is one of my least favorite household chores, but this Black + Decker handheld vacuum makes tackling small messes easy. I let my mom borrow it, and it's safe to say I'm not getting the little device back anytime soon, as she's a fan of its powerful suction and quick cleanup. So I'm picking up another one." — Jennifer Maldonado, associate shopping director
Amazon Basics Slim Velvet Hangers Pack of 30
Amazon
$17
$14
"One of my biggest pet peeves is when clothes fall off the hanger — especially when I just ironed them — but with these hangers, I never have to worry about my clean items touching my dirty closet floor. The velvet material keeps all of my clothes in place, no matter how silky the top or how skinny the dress straps. I'm about to order myself another set to hang all of my winter gear!" — Cai Cramer, shopping writer
Fastfairy Nylon Bag
Amazon
$31
$25
"I recently traded in my trusty belt bag for this nylon crescent crossbody with the cutest embroidered design. It has interior pockets, an adjustable strap, and a key clip. Plus, you can grab it in three different sizes and a range of fun colors." — Kayla Kitts, shopping editor
