Don't sleep on having an Amazon Prime membership — there are tons of useful perks. From free two-day shipping and instant access to thousands of movies on Amazon Prime Video to pharmacy discounts and Whole Foods delivery, you get so much bang for your buck. There is one lesser-known benefit, though: VIP access to secret sales, thanks to a Prime-exclusive deals portal that spans several categories. That's right — there's an entire section that most shoppers don't know about with special deals that only Prime members can shop.

If you've yet to unlock this hidden hub, we've rounded up 11 steals to get you on your way. Keep scrolling for the best deals you're likely to see at Amazon (or anywhere else).

Need a simple bedside alarm clock that's easy to read, both up close and from afar? This one will only run you $11 if you're a Prime member. It has five dimming settings, two alarm volumes and even charges your phone. Did we mention that over 17,000 reviewers gave it a five-star rating?

"In a world where we have watches and phones, I still like to turn over and see the time displayed on my nightstand," one five-star reviewer wrote. "It doesn't take up a lot of space and the light is bright, but not too bright. And the numbers are large enough to read without straining my eyes!"

Never underestimate how easy it is for cold drafts to find their way into your otherwise toasty home. Ground zero for these brazen, breezy intruders? That tiny space at the bottom of your front or back door, which this adjustable helper plugs up like a champ.

"Why didn't I do this sooner?" one shopper asked. "During the winter, you can really feel the breeze coming in under my north-facing door. Once I easily put this under my door, my house [was] so much warmer and [it] should help with my electric bill."

Travel experts and frequent fliers say packing cubes are one of the easiest ways to stay organized. If you tend to overpack or always seem to forget something, they can keep everything tidy and easy to find. In addition to an array of bags in various sizes, this eight-piece set includes a toiletry bag, a shoe bag and a sock bag.

"I'm getting ready for flight attendant training and wanted to buy these to help me organize the many things I need to bring," wrote one reviewer. "What surprised me is that both pairs of high heels fit in the shoe bag."

When you're already freezing, sipping a lukewarm drink is just adding insult to injury. This mug warmer keeps coffee, tea and other hot beverages at a pleasantly piping temperature. Use it with any flat-bottomed cup — glass, porcelain, metal, even paper.

If you're always chilly, this one's for you! Don't spend extra on an airplane blanket that may or may not be clean. This travel blanket, which also doubles as a pillow, is super soft (and cute) and keeps you warm without taking up too much space so that you won't bother your row-mates. It even folds up into the included carrying bag that you can clip onto your luggage handle.

"I am a flight attendant and I got this pillow [blanket] as a gift and it's the best!" one professional traveler wrote. "The material is very durable. It's so soft and fluffy when I wash and dry it, yet I can still fold it into a small pillow."

This is one of the most thoughtfully designed portable chargers we've seen, and it's all thanks to those four built-in cables. With this design, you won't have to pack separate cords for your phone, headphones, tablet and more — they're all right there. There's a USB-C connector, a Lightning connector and micro-USB connector, so all your bases, er, devices are covered. The battery itself recharges using USB-A.

"We purchased this for a recent Disney trip and it successfully kept two iPhones charged the entire day!" one reviewer gushed.

This portable Bluetooth speaker is a relatively new model, but it already has over 2,000 five-star fans. It's cute and compact, but packs a serious audio punch and will get the party started at that backyard barbecue or bonfire. It's waterproof too.

"It's light, it's portable and it's loud!" one impressed shopper wrote. "The bass on this thing is sinister, just the way I like it."

This No. 1 bestselling five-piece set with over 23,000 five-star fans can keep your body washes, shampoos, soaps, sponges and even your toothbrushes organized and easily accessible right in your shower. And since it's made of rustproof stainless steel, it should remain looking shiny and new for as long as you own it.

"The installation process was incredibly easy and required no drilling," one impressed reviewer wrote. "The adhesive is strong and holds the caddies securely in place, even when loaded with heavy items."

Between this blanket's 15-pound heft and its sherpa fleece underside, you'll feel like you're receiving a warm hug that never seems to end.

"I probably own 10-plus blankets, some weighted, and this one is now my favorite," wrote this fan. "It's super soft and cozy. It's good quality, and the color I chose is a really nice rich deep blue. I also like that there is different material on both sides."

This checked suitcase is one of Samsonite's most rugged and durable — just ask the more than 2,800 five-star reviewers at Amazon. The hard-side spinner is scratch-resistant, made to withstand the rigors of air travel and comes with a 10-year limited warranty.

"The contours of this luggage make it appear smaller than it really is," one reviewer wrote. "The room inside is spacious and fits everything we needed for two people on a week-long trip. The TSA lock is a nice touch and easy to set."
