It’s still Amazon Prime Day for a few more hours, with the steepest discounts ending tonight. If you’re like me, you haven’t actually bought anything from the sale yet and have been waiting until the last day. Procrastination aside, it’s not too late to find discounts on pretty much everything you can think of. From the gaming and collector side, there’s some decent video games still on sale, plus book box sets, Blu-rays, LEGO, and KPop Demon Hunters Squishmallows, to name a few.
As much as I want to buy dozens of Blu-rays to add to my movie collection, I’m being pretty frugal about what I’m willing to spend money on right now. And since it’s summertime, I’m switching gears to focus on how I can best beat the heat and have some fun outside over the coming weekends. I’m talking new swimming gear, camping gear, portable fans, cold treats and everything in between. See what summer-themed deals I found below.
Summertime Prime Day Deals
As you shop for your own cooling gear, don’t forget about keeping your pets cool this summer, too! The Bedsure cooling blanket above is just one of many options for your fur babies.

Ice cream is my favorite food of all time and my biggest guilty pleasure in life. It’s the one thing I won’t even share with anyone else. I’m very excited about this offer via Whole Foods (an Amazon company). Non-Prime members already can snag 44% off ice cream treats right now, but for ice cream lovers with Prime memberships, they can take advantage of 50% off ice cream and frozen treats. This offer seems to be valid in-store and via Amazon for free store pick-up at your local Whole Foods. See the terms and conditions for more info. This offer lasts until June 30th, past Prime Day.
Ice Cream Makers
Speaking of ice cream, if you want to be able to make your own at home, there are several options for that. I own the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Machine and it’s incredibly easy to use. I have so much fun making ice cream from scratch and trying out different flavor combos with candy. Whether it’s the Cuisinart or another trusted brand like Ninja, there are several solid choices on sale right now. You can’t go wrong with any of them, really.

Slushie Machines
I’m more of an ice cream gal myself as you now know, but for those who want to cool off with a slushie instead and like a less-heavy treat made of mostly ice, this is for you. There are a few big brand slushie machines on sale, and some slushie and ice cream machines have all-in-one functions to get the best bang for your buck. The Lifecreek slushie machine is a top-rated pick that can do it all:

Save up to $170 on Select Coolers and Mini Fridges
A practical “cooler” for camping and outdoor adventures is this 12-volt refrigerator from BougeRV, now 33% off. However, if you’re looking for something under $100, the Coleman 316 Series Wheeled Cooler is a great option at 25% off right now, bringing the price down from $110 to $83.

YETI makes sturdy products and is a well-trusted brand for outdoor adventures and everyday life. That said, YETI products tend to be more high-end which means higher price tags. If you’ve always wanted a YETI cooler, now’s the time to get one for summer and save big from Prime Day discounts. There are plenty of portable soft coolers like the one below on sale, and they come in many different colors.

This Mini Fridge is not on sale, but it’s too cute not to give a shout out to:

Fun Pool Floats as Low as $19.99
The Doritos and a few more “food” floats are on sale for Prime Day, so take a look at all of the options first. I like the Doritos one best and love that it’s double-sided, but there’s also Cheetos, Pop-Tarts, Cheez-Its (my second favorite), and Lucky Charms versions. Which one is your favorite you’d rep on the water? I may need to get one of these for myself since my dog popped mine last year.

Also comes in Cheez-It, Lucky Charms, Pop-Tarts and Cheetos.
Another contender I found is this tank float that comes with a cannon gun to squirt water on all your frenemies. I can see this being a family favorite. Either are great for bopping around a swimming pool or river spot.

Small Portable Fan Deals
Aecooly Mighty Portable Fan
0
Whether you live in a hot climate all the time, are experiencing a temporary heatwave, or you’re traveling somewhere warm, a small fan to take on the go can keep you more comfortable on-the-go. The Aecooly fan above is aesthetically pleasing and can easily sit on your desk. If you don’t want a fan you have to hold, there are clip-on versions out there and other wearable and compact options below.
I see neck fans everywhere these days, and I honestly get the hype. It’s practical (you don’t have to use your hand to hold it) and doesn’t look as silly as some other portable fans. That’s my two cents, but there’s something for everyone here and all of them are super affordable.
Standing Fans
The bladeless fans are the future. Dreame’s tower fan not only looks cool, it is well-rated and does the job, and at a much lower cost than some of the competition like Dyson.

Another affordable option is the GoveeLife Tower Fan, on sale for $120 today.

Portable Air Conditioners
If you live in a place where central air is not common, you may need one of these. Or, maybe you have one for a single room but need another for a second bedroom, office, or living space. Now is a great time to get air conditioners so you’re set before you have regrets. If you’re looking for an air conditioner or bigger fan to cool down a whole room in your house, the Antarctic Star Portable Air Conditioner is on sale now at 18% off.

There are many more things I could’ve included in this list, but these were some of my favorite last-chance Prime Day deals with summer activities in mind. Now hurry and shop before they’re all expired!
