Amazon Prime Day starts now! Here is my round-up of my favorite deals this year! I tried to get a little something for everyone – kids back to school items, items for the house, beauty tools, and everything in between. Let’s roll!
Tech Deals:
Let’s get into the big shit first. If you haven’t pulled the trigger on a Ring Video Doorbell yet, now is the time to buy one here! It’s 45% off during Amazon Prime Days!
Another staple that you need if yours is about to shit the bed, is this shark vacuum. This is one of the better deals you’ll see on them throughout the year.
I realize Kindles have been around for a long ass time now, but if you haven’t gotten one yet, once again, now is the time. This one is $200 OFF! Don’t let that deal pass you by if you’re a big reader. It’s especially good if you travel a lot and don’t want to lug multiple books with you on long flights.
My last big item is this countertop ice maker. It makes pebble ice like Sonic, which is undoubtedly the best kind of ice.
Amazon Prime Day Back to School Deals:
My kids’ school lets us order all of their school supplies in one box that gets delivered directly to their classroom. (Curtesy of PTO of course!) In that box are name brand crayons, pencils, tissue, wipes, paper, rulers, folders, etc. Any shit the teacher has put on their school list is in the box. And it saves us the hassle of tracking down “10 pre-sharpened Triconderoga Pencils” (not 12, not 20, but 10 exactly!) Or “2 pink erasers.” Only come in a three pack? Well fuck, guess you’re buying extra.
That’s why I love the 1st Day School Supplies boxes. But I digress. I realize our school may be in the minority, or you may be the freak who loves going from store to store trying to save .25 on a box of pencils. We all know, I am not that girl. So I give you some great deals in one stop!
These headphones or these ones are ones I’ve purchased. Buy two pairs. Just trust me, your kid will go through them. Keep one at school and one at home as I do. Lila’s had the second pair in the rose gold color, and it’s the only one we haven’t had to replace after a full year of use!
If you’re kid isn’t into the feeling of their ears being covered by headphones, I recommend these skullcandy ear buds. They’re half-off during Amazon Prime Days and come in some pretty cute colors.
Next up is this Fire Tablet for kids. It’s great for kids ages 6-12 and includes free one-year subscription for Amazon Kids+!
The last couple of things are just basic supplies you’ll need. The flair pens are more for teachers than for kids. And I can tell you from experience, your teacher can never have too many. I include these in basically every gift I give them throughout the year. And lastly, a cute supply pouch or pencil pouch is a must. I like this one because it holds a fair amount of stuff while still being more fun than the basic bitch see-through plastic boxes you can find everywhere.
For the last round of school necessities, your child will need a lunchbox. I absolutely love this lunch box that comes with the fun fruit/veggie “cookie” cutters, reusable muffin wrappers to hold snacks in, and adorable as fuck animal toothpicks. This set is great because it includes all the basics to make your child’s lunch extra special.
Or you can do what I do and get a regular lunch box and then buy these sets: I have this one. I also bought this pack and this one of reusable animal picks and my kids LOVE them!
If you want a traditional bento box, this one is a great choice. And no matter what lunch box your child picks out, you will be so thankful to have these reusable ice packs on hand to keep their lunches cold! I use ours every.damn.day the kids pack a lunch to keep their fruits, veggies, and sandwiches cool!
This last item isn’t a school supply, but it’s a great idea for a kid’s Christmas gift while it’s on sale! This Razor scooter comes in various colors and is great for kids of all ages.
Amazon Prime Days Beauty Deals:
It wouldn’t be my blog without me giving you some beauty essentials you need to grab during the sale!
The NuFace device was all the rage during Covid when people couldn’t get to the med spa for different treatments. I was turned onto this by my cousin Mary. We went on a girls trip to Nashville last year and her face was looking snatched as fuck. She gave the credit to this device and I was SOLD! I can always send you my before and after photos because it definitely makes my face more sculpted. Plus it has an LED wrinkle reducer attachment. According to their website, “It uses low-level, electrical current that sends gentle waves down to the facial muscles. It mimics and re-energizes the body’s own natural current helping to tone, lift and contour.” And right now, this bad boy is 30% off!
If you’re in need of a new toothbrush, I love this pink one (how cute is the color?!) It’s 53% off during Amazon Prime Days too! And lastly, I’ve shared this in a past blog, but it’s a smoking deal right now so it’s worth sharing again. I bought this travel blanket/pillow for Australia and even though we had first-class seats, I still loved using this! It was a little taste of home, smelled like downy, and as per usual, it’s pink and cute as fuck.
Cooking items to snag during the Amazon Prime Day Sale:
If you don’t have a Boos Block and are looking for a great cutting board, now is your chance to grab this one! It’s 30% off during the sale which is about as much as you see this brand drop! And this dutch oven is a great dupe for the Le Creuset one (I have both!)
Other odds and ends I’m buying at the Amazon Prime Day Sale:
Every year my kids do a Polar Express Day at school during Christmas where they get to drink hot chocolate after listening to their admins read the book to them. And we need disposable coffee cups with lids and sleeves so they don’t spill or burn themselves. Every year, it’s the one thing parents never want to contribute to the class, because who has these fuckers just laying around? Well I do, and now you will too.
My friends know I love a good throw blanket. I have probably 5 for each holiday and then a ton of everyday ones. This checkered one comes in so many cute colors, is thick, doesn’t pill when you wash it, and of course, cute as fuck.
The most random item I recommend are these mini rainbow storage bins. I got a set for myself to hold craft poms poms, sequins, and beads in, and it quickly got hijacked by my kids. I then had to buy them each their own set and the use them as barbie/doll storage and bins. It’s not on sale, but it’s a random find I had to share for those of you with young girls!
Lastly is another must-have in every home. This 5th generation Echo Dot has a digital clock display on it, plus has all the original features too. Per the website it does the following: “Play music, audiobooks, and podcasts from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify and others or via Bluetooth throughout your home. Alexa: Ask Alexa to show you weather and song titles, set hands-free timers, get answers to your questions and even hear jokes. Need a few extra minutes in the morning? Just tap your Echo Dot with clock to snooze your alarm. And Keep your home comfortable: Control compatible smart home devices with your voice and routines triggered by built-in motion or indoor temperature sensors. Create routines to automatically turn on compatible lights when you walk into a room, or start a fan if the inside temperature goes above your comfort zone.”
Vince also has our Christmas and Halloween decorations tied to ours so when he asks Alexa to “turn on decorations”, she does! All our inflatables and animatronics turn on as if by magic! The Echo Dot is 50% off during Prime Days too!
Women’s clothing to check out during the Prime Sale:
I’m not a big fan of Amazon clothing only because you can roll the dice on quality sometimes. Plus, I’ve seen items sold on there where they are using the model photos from much more expensive brands, but they’re selling a knock-off version of that clothing item. But I’ve had luck with a couple things. This dress I own in yellow and it’s adorable and well-made for the price. And I love this comfy side-split tunic for lazy days at home. My fave is the grey but it comes in a ton of other colors too. And today, it’s only $11.47!!
