Amazon Prime Day LIVE: our shopping experts’ best deals on tech, beauty and baby

Amazon shoppers who want to upgrade their home security for that extra piece of mind are snapping up a Ring Video Doorbell that is currently slashed in price. The video doorbell is added layer of protection for many households, allowing home owners or renters to see who is outside their front door at all times, whether they’re at home or at work, at the supermarket or on holidays.

Ring Doorbells are also hugely popular with those who often get parcels delivered. All too often parcel companies leave packages in ‘safe places’ never to be seen again. Luckily, you can see just where your order was left with the video doorbell.

The highly-rated device typically retails for £99.99 but shoppers can pick it up for half price during Amazon’s Prime Day sale (July 16 and 17). That makes the doorbell just £49,99, offering a total saving of £50. Plus, you can add an Echo Pop (worth £45) to your order for free or a Ring Indoor Camera, worth £49.99, for just £10.

When it comes to clinically proven anti-ageing skincare that works on fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin, Medik8 is undoubtedly up there with the best. But with a premium name often comes a premium price tag, and Medik8 products aren’t cheap compared to some other offerings on the market.

However, some of Medik8’s bestselling serums and creams which are proven to give ‘rapid anti-ageing results’ have been slashed as part of Amazon Prime Day’s premium beauty offering – the most popular of which, is the award-winning Medik8 Crystal Retinal, which has been shown to work on those who have tried it after one tube.

Normally £45 for a 30ml tube, Medik8 Crystal Retinal has been slashed to £36 for a limited time – one of the cheapest prices we’ve seen when bought individually. For maximum results, we recommend pairing with the potent Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye Cream, which is now £33.60, down from £42.

Maintaining a daily coffee habit can be an expensive endeavour, especially if you like to pop to Starbucks or Costa on your way to work or while running errands. As an iced latte or hot mocha can cost well over £5 a go these days, many people are opting for gadgets that create barista-quality beverages from the comfort of their own kitchen, potentially saving hundreds on takeaway beverages a year.

One such machine is the Breville Iced+Hot Coffee Maker. It typically retails for £66.99 but shoppers can pick it up on Amazon for £44.99 this Prime Day (July 16 and 17) for a limited time. That’s a total saving of over £22, which isn’t bad at all.

The Breville machine makes filter coffee which means you don’t have to faff about waiting for it to grind beans or have to remember to buy pods from the supermarket during your weekly shop. If you were only into iced coffee, you could spend even less and nab the cold-only version for £31.93 (down from £46.99).

Those looking for a fun way to burn calories at home this summer are raving about a weighted hula hoop available on Amazon. The nifty exercise gadget is said to be ‘brilliant fun’ and makes ‘noticeable improvements’ to waistlines within as little as ‘three days’, according to the reviews.

The K-Mart Smart Hula Ring Hoop has a full RRP of £39.99 but shoppers can snap it up right now for £19.99 ahead of Amazon’s mega two-day summer Prime Day sale (July 16 and 17). That’s a total saving of 50% or £20, which isn’t to be sniffed at.

The weighted hula hoop has been cleverly constructed so that it won’t fall down, which is perfect for those who are just starting out. It also comes apart in 24 bits, called links, with a button to press to do it, making it super easy to set up and start hula hooping.

Studies show strong evidence that hula hooping is great for weight loss. A six week study on people using weighted hula hoops found a reduction in waist size, while the American Council on Exercise said hula hooping can burn over 400 calories per hour. Plus, you can use between 15 and 24 links to fit your waist size perfectly.

The hula hoop has a 4.3-star rating from 2,811 reviews on Amazon. Read all about it here.

Amazon Prime Day customers are rushing to buy a Swan Alexa Smart Kettle that has been hailed a ‘game changer’ for anyone who drinks tea or coffee. Now at its cheapest ever price, the Swan Alexa Smart Kettle is a favourite at home for shopping writer Bethan Shufflebotham, who has hailed it as ‘invaluable’ after some rigorous testing.

Bethan previously had a Breville HotCup which she thought was great, not just for the fact it was quick and convenient, but because it also saved money on energy usage. Its only downside was that, when you’ve got a houseful and six people want a brew, you’re in the kitchen for a very, very long time, she said.

With that in mind, Bethan decided to try out the world’s first Alexa kettle, by Swan, and she knew there was no going back after the first use. Here’s Bethan’s full verdict.

Amazon shoppers are snapping a giant 1.3kg box of branded chocolate ahead of the school holidays as it’s slashed in price for Amazon Prime Day (July 16 and 17) The Nestlé Big Box of Chocolate contains 30 full-sized versions of different delicious chocolate bars, which work out to be around 61p each.

It’s a substantial savings compared to the price of each bar in the shops.

The box contains KitKat, KitKat Chunky, Yorkie, Aero and Munchies, and it works out at 61p per bar – considerably cheaper than most major supermarkets. The yummy chocolate gift set comes in a box that’s presentation-ready, which is more than perfect for giving away to family members or friends who have a bit of a sweet tooth. Or you can stash it away in your cupboard for snacking on, ideal for the upcoming school summer break.

Right now, you shoppers can pick up the Fire HD 8 tablet for £99.99 – considerably less than the cost of a smaller iPad mini. It’s perfect for watching movies or TV shows when you’re on the go and has a really impressive screen for its size.

The £99.99 model gets you 32GB with ads, but you could spend more for a larger capacity (64GB costs £129.99) and you could even pay to have both models without ads (£109.99 and £139.99, respectively). It comes in three chic colours – rose, black and denim – and you could also bundle in things like a case and screen protector for a bit more cash.

The Fire HD 8 has been tremendously well-reviewed by tech experts, too, scoring a huge five-star verdict from What Hi-Fi?, along with a four-star write-up from T3 – both of which are really trusted review sources. In both cases, the sheer value offered is praised, along with the solid build quality and handy compact size.

It’s not just experts who’ve enjoyed the tablet, though – from more than 5,600 customer reviews it’s holding on to an impressive 4.5-star average rating, and many of those verdicts have been glowing.
