Prime Day, Amazon’s biggest day of the year, is nearly here. Countless items will be reduced for a limited time, exclusively for members of Amazon’s Prime subscription (which you can get here).

Ahead of that, we’ve already found some amazing deals that you don’t want to sleep on. Any time, any place, any day of the year, these are the cheapest, coolest things on Amazon that people are loving right now.

Anker PowerLine II Lightning Cable

Anker has got a whole host of charging cables that Inverse regularly stans for, and right now their flagship product for the iPhone, the Powerline II, is as cheap as it gets while offering up some serious power to go along with the sleek look.

Why should I buy it? “Probably the world’s most durable cable,” Anker claims, and as a user of several of them myself, I can attest.

Utopia Silicone Clip-On Strainer

Be still my beating heart. I’ve always been of the opinion that pasta should be even easier to make, and removing the “rooting around under the sink for the unnecessarily giant strainer” element is something I never knew I needed.

Why should I buy it? The less time you spend washing up, the more time you can spend eating spaghetti.

Fileer 2 in 1 Lightning Adapter for iPhone

Now that the 3.5mm headphone jack is a thing of the past, you’re gonna need an extra little peripheral if you want to listen to tunes the old-fashioned way.

Why should I buy it? Because the apple lightning-to-3.5mm jack is awful and doesn’t even include a charging option.

Bestten 6-Outlet with 2 USB Charging Ports

Upgrade any outlet in your home with this stylish and modern update on an old classic: holes in the wall that shoot out electricity. It even has two USB ports for easier gadget charging.

Why should I buy it? Because this is the 21st Century, and you own more than two things that need to be powered at once.

simplehuman Wall Mount Grocery Bag Dispenser

Simply put, this thing has saved my ass more times than I care to mention, and has reduced the amount I ask for a bag by about two-thirds. Just stuff all your gross, wasteful plastic bags in the top and, boom, instant dispenser the next time you need to wrap up some garbage or bring some beer to a friend’s place.

Why should I buy it? Have you seen An Inconvenient Truth?

Copco Acadia Double Wall Insulated Travel Mug with Non-Slip Sleeve

Speaking of saving the environment, now that you’ve wisely invested in some metal straws, why not go all-out and upend your morning coffee routine with this insulated and reusable coffee cup? Your baristas will thank and admire you.

Why should I buy it? I don’t want to be accused of false marketing, but only hot people own these. It’s a fact.
