I’m Giving Away $1,000 in Gift Cards During Amazon Prime Days 2025

Disclosure: If you shop from my article or make a purchase through one of my links, I may receive commissions on some of the products I recommend.

Amazon’s massive annual sale is back, and this week, Prime Big Deal Days happens over two days (from October 7 through October 8, 2025) and you have to move quickly if you want the best deals before they go away.

The sheer number of deals available can be overwhelming, so I’ve put together this list of my favorite home and garden products to help you get started. Since new deals continually launch throughout the sale, I’ll update my list today and tomorrow as I find more deals worth sharing.

Because I’m a longtime Amazon partner (meaning I earn commissions from qualifying purchases through the links in this post), I also have the honor of giving away two $500 Amazon.com gift cards to two lucky Garden Betty followers! Keep reading to the end to find out how to enter for your chance to win.

Back to the Roots Coconut Coir – I make my own seed starting mix and part of the three-ingredient recipe includes peat moss or coco coir. I decided to buy this brick of coir for cost-effectiveness and it expanded to fill a huge tub! It worked well and that initial brick will last me at least three seasons. (You don’t have to expand the full brick at once, by the way; you can simply break off a small amount as needed.)

Chapin 48-Ounce Sprayer – For watering newly seeded trays, I like using this spray bottle since it outputs a fine consistent mist (and doesn’t dislodge seeds, which always happens with a watering can).

Garden Safe Insecticidal Soap – If you want to control aphids, mites, mealybugs, whiteflies, and other soft-bodied insects, insecticidal soap is the safest way to get rid of them without harming your plants. (I especially like to use this spray on houseplants.)

ThermoPro Digital Hygrometer – I’ve used this simple standalone version for years to monitor the temperature and humidity inside my chicken coop. As my garden and needs have grown, I’ve upgraded to this wireless set that comes with a display unit and remote sensor (no wifi or apps needed). I stick sensors in the coop, the greenhouse, the garage where I store all my garlic and seeds, and elsewhere—and view all the sensors on a single, small and unobtrusive display.

Taylor Humidiguide Dial Thermometer – I bought this for my kids’ school garden last year and hung it in the greenhouse so we can easily monitor temperatures and humidity. I love the large analog display and how low-maintenance it is (no battery or plug needed). It’s also rated for outdoor use so you could mount it on a fence or shed instead.

Vevor Greenhouse Plastic Sheeting – We use this for a small greenhouse that protects our potted citrus trees. Our high-desert climate can be pretty brutal but this 6 mil polyethylene film lasts quite a while without tearing.

Run-Chicken Automatic Coop Door – If you’re still letting your chickens in and out yourself every day, you must upgrade to an automatic door! I’ve owned this model for years and it’s never failed our flock, even in single-digit temps. (They also make a solar-powered version.)

Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent – If it feels like your garden is merely there to feed deer and rabbits, this ready-to-use liquid formula is worth a try. I’ve found that spraying it on ornamental plants helps keep pests away from flowers and shrubs. (I don’t use this on food crops.)

Sun Joe Electric Power Washer – Every house needs a good pressure washer. We use ours to wash the car, wash the RV, clean the chicken coop, spray down our porch, and just get the gunk off our siding and sheds after a dusty or muddy season.

Mason Jar Lid Organizer – I always struggle to keep all my canning lids and rings neatly organized, especially right now when I’m deep in canning season. So I jumped on this deal because it looks exactly like what I need for the cupboard!

Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Containers – I replaced all my round and mismatched plastic sets with these glass food containers a few years ago and wish I’d gotten them sooner. They’re conveniently modular for storage, the lids have held up well and I love that they’re interchangeable across containers. (There’s also a BPA-free plastic set if you prefer less weight.)

Anji Mountain Black Boot Tray – We don’t wear shoes in the house, so I’ve got these stylish boot trays at the front door, back door, and mud room to corral all our shoes. They really help keep all the dirt and mud off our floors!

Bissell Little Green Carpet Cleaner – I don’t know how this little machine does it, but it’s absolutely saved our carpets and upholstery over the years! (We have a white sofa that still looks new after pets and kids have attempted to destroy it. 😅) If you struggle with stains or want to do your own car detailing, read the reviews on this carpet cleaner. They’re impressive!

Bissell TurboClean Carpet Cleaner – I have the previous version of this upright carpet cleaner and the first time I used it—I kid you not—it was able to remove stains that a professional carpet cleaning company couldn’t get out! I now use this twice a year throughout the house and the Little Green model (above) for spot treatments.

Ravenna Water-Resistant Patio Lounge Chair Cover – If you have to cover your outdoor furniture over winter, this is the same cover that I’ve been using on my lounge chairs for the past six years. (I have the dark covers, but they also come in a lighter sand color.)

SoloStove Bonfire 2.0 – We’ve owned the original SoloStove Bonfire for eight years and have taken it on all kinds of camping trips and tailgating parties (and it still looks like new). We also use it at home and it’s just the right size to fit a couple families around it.

Grand Trunk Trunk Tech Hammock – Our family started backpacking again and I’ve been upgrading our gear each year as I find deals. (Turns out, you have to carry a lot more gear when you go with little kids. 😆) I just bought this ultralight hammock (less than 12 ounces!) and will likely use it with these ultralight Python UL hammock straps (only 3 ounces) or ENO Helios straps (4 ounces).

LuminAid Solar Light – I bought this light for camping over the summer and it’s oh so fun! Lightweight, easy to pack (even for backpacking), and you get three different functions in one unit: a lantern, a set of string lights, and a USB phone charger. I have both the warm white and multicolor versions, and they’re the perfect brightness for adding ambience and helping you see just enough to move around your campsite.

Montem Collapsible Trekking Poles – This is a crazy good price for these hiking poles! I bought them last year for backpacking and used them this whole summer as well. They’re sturdy, lightweight, collapsible, and just as good as my previous pair of (more expensive) Black Diamond poles. (Montem also makes a carbon fiber version.)
