Levi’s, Apple, and CeraVe are among Amazon’s 50 best early July 4th deals starting at $4

I know we are now several weeks into the season, but is this Really Do you want summer until July 4? It’s one of my favorite holidays for several reasons: the barbecues, the nice weather, and of course, all the great deals that fall exactly when my summer wardrobe needs a refresh. Luckily, you don’t have to wait until the holiday weekend to make the most of this year’s discounts; Amazon has already posted thousands of deals on fashion, beauty, travel, home, and tech products, and prices start at just $4.

Holiday weekends are meant to be spent with loved ones, which is why I decided to do the heavy lifting now and round up a list of Amazon’s best deals. The retailer is offering deep discounts on summer fashion essentials like Levi’s denim shorts, Sam Edelman ballet flats, and New Balance sneakers. Beauty favorites from brands like CeraVe, Garnier, and Revlon are also on sale. And since it’s travel season, you’ll also find discounts on luggage, packing cubes, and tote bags that are perfect for weekend getaways.

Below, check out my best early July 4th Amazon deals for up to 60% off, and be sure to shop while these items are still in stock.

More than 50,000 Amazon customers have purchased it in the past month, making it a clear winner. One reviewer even took the steamer on a cross-country trip and confirmed that it made their “clothes fresh and wrinkle-free.”

Apple AirTag

After one too many close calls with lost luggage, I’m not going anywhere this summer without my Apple AirTag, which is on sale for just $25. All you need to do is set up the AirTag with the Find My app on your Apple device, then you can insert the tag into your travel bags to ensure that even if something do Get lost, it will be easy to find you.
