Amazon Prime Day—or Prime Big Deal Days—is the star of the show right now, but maybe you want to go shopping somewhere else. Whatever your reasoning, fear not! Plenty of other stores, big and small, are hosting sales. Everything below is hand-tested by WIRED, and doesn’t have to be bought on Amazon. You do you.
If you want to take a gander at the rest of our Amazon Prime Day coverage, you can find it all right here.
WIRED Featured Deals:
Cozy Earth: Up to 25 Percent Off Sitewide—Use Code WIRED
Ask almost anyone on the WIRED Reviews team about their opinion on Cozy Earth, and it’ll be positive. The company makes supremely soft, silky, and comfortable bamboo products, ranging from bedding and linens to pajamas and hoodies. The Cozy Days sale means you can save up to 25 percent off nearly everything on the website.
Backcountry 70 Percent Off Flash Sale
Backcountry is offering up to 70 percent off select outdoor gear and apparel. The sale includes biking, skiing, and climbing gear.
Best Buy’s Techtober Sale
Want some great deals on tech gear but are avoiding Jeff Bezos? Best Buy might not be much better, spiritually, but the retailer is offering a few deals during its Techtober sale that we haven’t seen elsewhere. Techtober lasts until Sunday.
Bookshop.org Anti-Prime Sale: Free Shipping
It’s easy to buy books from big-box stores, but Bookshop.org helps support authors and local bookstores. Right now, you can get free shipping on all orders during its Anti-Prime Sale. You can check out popular books here, or might I recommend Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green? (I just started it and I had to force myself to put it down until the weekend.)
Solo Stove Two-Day Sale
Solo Stove makes a lot of solid gear, including pizza ovens and its well-known fire pits. Right now, nearly everything is on sale, and it’s a great time to pick something up ahead of the colder and cozier months.
Chirp Wheel XR (3-pack) for $104 ($26 off)
The Chirp Wheel XR helped our tester Hannah Singleton with her tech neck woes. You’ll get multiple different sizes with the three- or four-pack, which are specially designed to help work out kinks and tension in various points of your body. It’s important to start slowly, ease into it, and only use the wheel for small amounts of time to start. But now that she’s had practice, Singleton says she can’t imagine living life without her Chirp wheels.
Lelo: Up to 40 Percent Off + Free Gift
We like a lot of Lelo sex toys here at WIRED, and many of them are discounted for the store’s “Prime Time for Pleasure” sale. There are options for all sorts of bodies and partner situations, and purchases over $199 get a free Sona 2 Travel vibrator.

The best suction toy is intuitive and powerful—if you want it to be. Best of all, it’s quiet.
Brooklinen Big Deals: 15 Percent Off Sitewide
Brooklinen makes darn fine bedding and linens, and right now the whole site is 15 percent off. Similar to Cozy Earth, everyone on the WIRED Reviews team has great things to say about the Brooklinen gear they’ve tested. Here are some of our faves.
