The holiday season is coming much faster than any of us realize. And while I love winter break and “Santa Tell Me” by Ariana Grande, there is one thing I am already dreading — holiday shopping. I like to think I’m a thoughtful friend and a talented shopper, but somehow, every year, I find myself in the same predicament: aimlessly wandering the streets on Dec. 18 and settling for whatever presents I can find. But, I am here to announce this year will be different thanks to October Amazon Prime Day!
If you weren’t already aware, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are taking place on Oct. 8 and 9, and I am determined to get all of my holiday shopping done early — and well. Don’t wait to worry about what present to get that 8-month situationship or find yourself paying way too much for a gift for that one friend who’s literally impossible to shop for. This list has items for even the most specific circumstances, so your 2024 holiday season can go down in history as the best one yet. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, this is Prime Day, we’re talking about deals! Not only will you get the perfect presents, this October Prime Day, you’ll get them for cheap!
