I know we’re already a few weeks into the season, but it works really feel like summer until the fourth of july rolls around? It’s one of my favorite holidays for a few reasons: the cookouts, the beautiful weather, and, of course, all the great sales that fall just when my summer wardrobe needs a refresh. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait until the holiday weekend to make the most of this year’s discounts; Amazon has already released thousands of deals on fashion, beauty, travel, home, and tech products, and prices start at just $4.
Holiday weekends are meant to be spent with loved ones, so I decided to do the heavy lifting now and curate a list of Amazon’s best early bird deals. The retailer has deep discounts on summer fashion essentials like Levi’s denim shorts, Sam Edelman ballet flats and New Balance sneakers. Beauty favorites from brands like CeraVe, Garnier and Revlon are also on sale. And, because it’s travel season, you’ll find discounts on luggage, packing cubes, and carry-on bags, perfect for weekend getaways, too.
Below, find my best early Fourth of July deals on Amazon for up to 60 percent off, and be sure to shop while these items are still in stock.

For everyday summer wear, I’m shopping these Levi’s 501 shorts and a number one selling maxi dress, both of which are contenders for my 4th of July outfit. And because I refuse to burn again this July, the 14 CeraVe AM Face Lotion with SPF 30 is also already in my cart.
The best fashion deals
Amazon’s fashion sale is full of warm-weather staples like breezy dresses, versatile tops, and wide-leg pants. This crochet cover-up is ideal for beach days, while these 60 percent off linen pants are a style I’m constantly reaching for during the summer. For days that involve a brisk run or walk around town, I’m eyeing these discounted New Balance sneakers that customers call “cloudy.” And of course, it wouldn’t be summer without a pair of flip-flops, so I’m picking up this best-selling pair while it’s on sale for $16.

This smocked maxi is on sale for just $48, and has a one-shoulder neckline that, every summer, I remember loving. It can easily be dressed up with a pair of casual flats for day jobs or dressed up with lace-up sandals for an event – one shopper who wore the dress to several weddings called it “the perfect flowing dance to dance to “.
Bandolino Philly Mary Jane Flat
I couldn’t be more obsessed with these unique knit ballet flats that look like a picnic basket. The now $50 pair comes in three other colors, each with a round top and Mary Jane strap with button closure. Plus, stars like Gigi Hadid and Katie Holmes are fans of the shoe style. I plan to style them with a white linen dress and matching woven bag.
The best beauty deals
Goodbye dry, dull winter skin and hello dewy, radiant summer glow. Seriously, given the blow the colder months have dealt my skin this year, this summer has me focused more than ever on revamping my beauty game. And because I wear less makeup in the warmer months, I’m especially careful about what I’m buying. Thankfully, Amazon’s latest deals don’t just stop at clothes — they also offer discounts on some of my favorite beauty brands, like CeraVe and Maybelline. I’ll be restocking on my holy grail whitening serum and fade-themed cleanse, along with finally checking out what the snail mucin buzz is all about.

CeraVe SA cleaner
I, along with 20,000 other Amazon shoppers, grabbed this CeraVe cleanser last month and I can safely say that I haven’t regretted it. The exfoliating face wash has salicylic acid, which has helped my skin with breakouts and oil control. One customer who calls the wash “worth every penny” also said they saw their skin visibly improve after use.
Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Repairing Essence
It only takes one scroll through the reviews of this now $12 serum to understand the snail mucin obsession. Consumers say it “goes on like silk in the bottle” and that their skin feels “more hydrated and plump” after use. With Cosrx Snail Repair Essence now on sale for more than half price, there’s never been a better time to try it.
The best travel deals
Packing your bags anytime this summer? You are not alone. With several trips in the books, I’ve been long overdue in stocking up on travel essentials. Luggage sets, toiletry bags, and Apple AirTags are all on sale as part of Amazon’s early Fourth of July sale. I’ve recently discovered the genius that is packing cubes, so I’ll be grabbing those too, along with other organizational essentials like bags and luggage.

- Bagsmart Quilted Luggage Bag, $30 (originally $40)
HiLife Portable Steam Steamer
In the summer, my favorite fabric is anything that involves silk or satin. It’s not the most wrinkle-resistant style, though, so I’m adding this best-selling $30 portable steamer to my cart. Over 50,000 Amazon customers have purchased it in the past month, making it a clear winner. One reviewer even packed the steamer on a cross-country trip and confirmed that it made their clothes “fresh and wrinkle-free.”
Apple AirTag
After one too many close calls with lost luggage, I won’t be going anywhere this summer without the Apple AirTag, which is on sale for just $25. All you need to do is set up AirTag with the Find My app on your Apple device, and then you can place the tag on your travel bags to ensure that even if something BEN get lost, it will be easy to find.
The best deals on home and technology
Everyday tech staples like headphones, tablets and streaming devices are all on sale ahead of the holiday weekend.

Apple Airpods Pro (2nd generation)
It’s the season of hot girl outings, which means a new pair of headphones is in order. While I’ve tried alternatives, none are as good as the Apple Airpods Pro, which are now on sale for 20 percent off. Reviewers swear by them, too, including one buyer who said they’re “extremely comfortable” with “amazing sound quality.”
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K streaming device
With 4K streaming, Wi-Fi support, and over 1.5 million movies and TV episodes available, the Amazon Fire TV Stick is pretty much a no-brainer. Customers say the streaming device delivers a “smooth, lag-free performance every time,” which is definitely key to watching your favorite movies and series.
