This year's Prime Day sale doesn't technically kick off until July 8th, but Amazon just quietly dropped a bunch of smart home deals that had me checking the calendar. Prime members who shop today can save up to 68% on Fire and Echo devices, whether you're in the market for a new smart speaker, tablet, or wireless earbuds. It may not be Prime Day 2025 just yet, but if these early offers are a sign of things to come, then there's good reason to get excited. 

Keep reading for a selection of my favorite early offers from Amazon, including deals like 50% off the Fire HD 10 tablet, and this offer that slashes a whopping 68% off Amazon's Echo Buds. Like I mentioned above, Prime Day officially runs from July 8th-11th, so feel free to check back later to see what's new. And don't forget: most deals are members-only, so now would be a good time to sign up for Prime if you haven't yet (there's even a free trial that lets you explore the sale for free).
