Get ready, Amazon Prime members! The biggest online shopping event of the year, Amazon Prime Day, will actually happen over two days this year: July 15 and July 16.

The annual Prime Day sales event rivals Black Friday with slashed prices on many items including electronics, exercise equipment, outdoor accessories, books, clothing and much more.

During last year’s Prime Day, Amazon offered one million deals to its customers, who grabbed a whopping 100 million products during the one-day shopping marathon.

While we don’t know exactly which products will be featured in the 2019 Amazon Prime Day event, we can look at trends from previous Prime Days to get an idea of the kinds of deals that might pop up.

Each year, Amazon compiles lists of its most popular Prime Day products. Let’s take a look at what people around the world bought in 2018 during Prime Day.

United States: The Instant Pot

Americans launched the Instant Pot into one of the top-selling deals of Amazon Prime Day 2018. Shoppers couldn’t seem to get enough of the kitchen gadget that cuts normal cooking time in half and combines up to seven cooking functions in one pot. It seems likely that Amazon will include the Instant Pot as one of its Prime Day deals this year, too.
