Amazon Prime Day is officially here! To be clear, you don’t have to buy anything during Prime Day…if you don’t need anything, why spend the money? However, with the first college semester starting soon, now is the time to stock up on products for your dorm room or your first apartment.
Whether you’re a new college student, a seasoned college student, or just a person on a budget needing to revamp their living space, below are some great Amazon Prime Day deals to indulge in:
A Coffee Maker
Whether you prefer a Keurig or Nespresso style coffee maker, or something a bit more basic like a Mr. Coffee or a moka pot, a coffee maker is a college student must-have. The Keurig is currently 40% off for Prime Day, the Nespresso is 34% off, and you can find a moka pot for less than $20.
Keep in mind that if you drink coffee regularly or have more than one cup a day, a Mr. Coffee is the financial and environmental way to go—and it’s less than $25 year round on Amazon and in-store at both Walmart and Target. Both Nespresso and Keurig pods add up in cost over time—plus, it’s a lot of single-use plastic which isn’t environmentally friendly.
Skincare + Beauty Products
College is no walk in the park. Between juggling assignments and a job, sleepless nights are unfortunately inevitable. Both coffee and water help with the internal lack of energy, but certain skincare products can help with the external exhaustion such as dry skin, acne, and under eye circles. Stock up on your favorites at a great price while you can!
Some Prime Day favorites include the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (20% off), TruSkin Vitamin C (56% off), IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Anti Aging Face Moisturizer (42% off), CORSX Snail Mucin Essence (62% off), and the Amika Perk-Up Dry Shampoo (30% off).

Decor Items
Decorating a dorm room or a new apartment this Fall? If so, stocking up on some decor items during a sale is the way to go. Must haves include shelving, decorative blankets, and clothes racks.
Headphones
Need a new pair of headphones this Fall semester? Prime Day is the perfect day to stock up on headphones. You can splurge on a pair of 2nd Gen Apple AirPods for $69 (that’s 47% off), Beats headphones for 51% off, or a more affordable brand like Senso.
Reusable Water Bottles
Hydration is finally trendy! That’s a good thing—especially for college students. The first time I experienced dehydration that required medical attention was in college. I just didn’t make it a priority. So I’m beyond thrilled seeing the younger generations with their Stanley cups, and other similar water bottle brands. If you have yet to indulge in this trend, Prime Day is the perfect time to do so. I personally love my Simple Modern tumbler and it’s 15% off for Prime Day.
Self-Care Items
Regardless of your life stage, self-care is a must for all ages. Prime Day is the perfect time to shop for your self-care items. Examples include a journal, eucalyptus shower steamers, and face masks.
Electronics
Electronics are expensive, but they have become a must-have. If you need a new TV, computer, Fitbit, Apple Watch, vacuum, Kindle, wireless speaker or electric toothbrush…Prime Day is the time to do it.
Exercise Equipment + Accessories
Regardless of age, staying active is important. Amazon Prime Day is a great time to splurge on sports bras, leggings, resistance bands, yoga mats, and hand weights.
