• Unexpectedly popular items during Amazon Prime Day 2025 include neck fans, weeding tools, and unique face cleansers.
• USA Today readers are actively purchasing a variety of products, from portable chargers and luggage scales to lip balm and ice cream makers.
• Prime Day, running from July 8th to 11th, offers exclusive deals for Prime members, with daily deals refreshing every 24 hours.

During a major sales event like Amazon Prime Day, I can count on certain products to be pretty popular. Everyone loves a good Apple deal, and a lot of those devices have been best-sellers during this week's Prime Day sale. Other popular purchases typically include big ticket items like TVs and laptops. It all makes sense.

I've been tracking the 2025 Prime Day deals since Tuesday, July 8 and will continue through the end of the sale on Friday, July 11. So far, there have been a few top-selling deals that I did not necessarily expect to climb to the top of the list. Who knew that so many people were in the market for a neck fan?

From weeding tools and popcorn makers to face cleansers that look like bubble gum, Paste BN Shopping readers are keeping me on my toes this week. Here, you can shop all the top picks!
