Everything the Sun editors are buying this Amazon Prime Day – best deals on Nespresso, SPF, tech must-haves and more

Chosen by: Kieran Ahuja, Commissioning Editor

Buy if: You’re a fan of mildly spicy fantasy series; think the political intrigue and fantasy elements of Game of Thrones, with the romance and enchantment of Beauty and the Beast

Don’t buy if: You’re expecting a Booker Prize winner; it’s riveting, but it’s not exactly Shakespeare

After hearing breathless praise for the series both among friends and on TikTok, I decided to give A Court of Thorns and Roses a go while on holiday last week, and while I’m only a few chapters in, I can see why people are so obsessed with it.

Buy if: You’re time-poor and need a little help around the house

Don’t buy if: The thought of robots taking over is too much for you

I’m all about simplicity this year, if something can make my life easier then I am willing to give it a try, and this Eufy X8 Robovac has revolutionised my housekeeping beyond words.

Chosen by: Zoe Bennetts, Affiliates Manager

Buy if: You don’t own an iron or hate ironing.

Don’t buy if: You love ironing and it’s already part of your routine.

Chosen by: Natalie Chui, Commissioning Editor

Buy if: You run outdoors and love to listen to music or podcasts

Don’t buy if: You only run on treadmills indoors

There’s very rarely one thing that I’d say you need for running, but other than a decent pair of shoes, I swear by having a good pair of earphones.

Summer is hopefully just around the corner, and with it comes socialising in the great outdoors again.

But what is a picnic in the park or a last-minute football game without a bit of music?

Buy if: You're looking to extend Alexa's presence into smaller spaces without denting your wallet.

Don’t buy if: You need superior audio quality or a device for larger rooms. The Pop is solid, but it won't fill a room with sound like the Echo Dot can.

I’m well acquainted with Amazon’s lineup of smart devices, with an Echo Dot in the front room, and a Fire TV in my bedroom. It’s safe to say I’m a fan of the budget tech.

My kitchen is just out of earshot of Alexa, though, and grabbing another Dot didn't seem practical just for that space, so I was quick to snag the Echo Pop when it launched.

Buy if: You are looking for a budget sunscreen that will also set your make-up.

Don't buy if: I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't!

This year I’m snapping up this £5 Garnier sun-screen.

I’ve never been brilliant at wearing SPF all year round, but I’m trying to be better having noticed the effects of the sun on my skin as I age.

My old Nespresso Magimix coffee machine is on its last legs (RIP!) so I am on the lookout for a new model to upgrade to while Prime Day sales are running.

Luckily, I have spotted plenty of fantastic coffee machine offers, but the one that has caught my eye is the Nespresso Vertuo Next Automatic Pod Coffee Machine.

Originally £150, fellow coffee addicts can snap up the sleek and compact pod machine for just £69 — that’s a healthy 54% saving.

I love the stylish design and the simple one-touch operation, this model also allows you to make five different-sized coffees rather than the two-cup version I already own.

Another great feature I love is that the Vertuo machine can be linked to your mobile via the Nespresso app, allowing you to track when your machine needs to be descaled and get automatic machine software updates.

Audible - two months free!

Buy if: You love books, but never feel like you have enough time to sit down and actually read them

Don’t buy if: You’re an old-school bibliophile, and still love the feeling of paper in your hands.

As part of its wider Prime Day charm offensive, Amazon is luring in new customers with some top-notch offers on its other subscription services.
