Fall foliage, pumpkin carving, and cozy clothing are just a few of my favorite parts of autumn. As a shopping editor,Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Dayshas also made that list the past couple of Octobers — and this year is no different.

The two-day shopping event is packed withmillions of deals across categories. During the sale, I’m grabbing a handful of items from Yankee Candle, Shark, Apple, and more.
