Amazon Prime Day 2021 is just around the corner and we're counting down the days until the savings begin.
This year, Amazon's Prime Day event is taking place on June 21 and 22. But to help you pass the time before the deals kick off, the retailer is giving shoppers the opportunity to support small businesses — and score a $10 savings to use on Prime Day.

Through June 20, Prime members who spend at least $10 on items from select small businesses will earn a $10 credit to use during the two-day sale. Once you make your purchase, you'll get an email from Amazon with details on how to claim your credit. On top of that, those with an Amazon Prime Store card or Amazon Prime Rewards Visa card can get 10 percent back on purchases from featured small businesses.
There are more than 300,000 small businesses included in the event, and you can find amazing products in every category, from beauty to kitchenware. Plus you can find picks from woman-owned, Black-owned, military family-owned businesses and more. The retailer even has a few curated guides from celebrities like Kristen Bell, Karamo Brown and Mindy Kaling, to give you an idea of the items that your favorite stars are eyeing during the event.
With so many incredible products to sort through, deciding which to add to your cart can feel a bit overwhelming. To make it easier, we rounded up a handful of our favorites for fashion, pet, home and more that will qualify you for the "Spend $10, Get $10" promotion.
