Amazon Prime Big Deal Days - October 2024
October 8th and 9th are Amazon Prime Big Deal Days! In case you are looking to do a little retail therapy or get a jump start on your holiday shopping, here are ten items I have purchased and loved. The items range from specialty items to ones I use every day, from clothing to housewares and more. I’ve also got a few bonus items at the bottom that are currently sitting in my wishlist! Happy Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Shopping!
Cold Plunge Tub
This item will come at no surprise to those of you who watch my IG and FB stories. I love this cold plunge pool. ($119.99) It has been the perfect way for Matt and I to try this new health trend. If you think you can’t cold plunge, you can… and that mindset shift is EXACTLY why you NEED to give it a try. There’s currently a $40 off coupon available on this item, making it an even easier YES!
Fitbit Charge 6 + Bands
I love my FitBit Charge 6 ($159.95). To be honest, I only wear it to check the time and to count my steps, but it does a whole lot more. Personally, I don’t love the band it comes with… it feels claustrophobic on my wrist, so I swap it out with this one. It’s both pretty and functional, two of my favorite qualities. :) The band comes in several colors and metals. Currently $17.97.
Queen Air Bed
I don’t know about you guys, but we have had a lot of sleep over company lately. Whether it’s family friends crashing before an in-town sporting event for their kids or my sons’ friends sleeping over, this air bed ($48.99) gets a lot of use at our house. It’s easy to set up (built in electric pump), durable, and comfy. I highly recommend it!
Mr. Pel Gel Pens
I love a good pen. When one of my favorite authors (Maggie Stiefvater) recommended these on Instagram, I immediately added them to my cart. A few months in I can tell you they are great. Colorful, smooth, long lasting. If you are an office supply hoarder like me, you will love these. Plus, the company was started and continues to be run by a group of teachers from Louisiana! What could be better?!?! Currently $8.99 for a pack of 12.
Overall Bibs
I spend a large amount of time watching the members of my family play sports. This translates into a lot of bleacher and bag chair time. Sometimes outside, sometimes in. I figured, if that was the case, I might as well be comfortable. So, I bought these bibs. And I am soooooo glad I did. These fleece overall bibs are warm, cozy, and with tons of pockets to hold my phone, cash, car keys, helping me cut down on always needing to lug a bag into the games. Plus, this 90’s trend is coming back hard… so maybe I’ll be both trendy and comfy. They come in a variety of colors. I got black, but I’m eyeing up the hunter green too. Currently $35.99 with a 12% off coupon available.
Champagne Stoppers
When we did our most recent girls trip to Florida the VRBO had these amazing champagne stoppers. I’m a Prosecco girl. I like just one glass with dinner. But regular wine stoppers never kept the bubbles fresh. I figured out that if I put a wine stopper in, tightly put a ziplock bag over the top of it and then rubber banded it securely… I could. But… once I discovered these saver plugs, boom. Problem solved, no ziplocks needed. And for only $9.89.
Bamboo Toothbrushes
In addition to being a word nerd, I also kind of geek out about the planet, especially when it comes to small daily changes each of us can make… changes can add up to make a big impact. One of the changes that has stuck with me is switching to bamboo toothbrushes. I mean, who recycles their toothbrush? No one. But that adds up to a lot of plastic in the landfill. When we use the bamboo toothbrushes instead, they can simply decompose. This $14.99 purchase of 40 toothbrushes lasts me well over a year! I never have to feel bad about chucking one out after I’ve been sick, plus, I always have one on hand to give a guest who forgets theirs while visiting.
Fairy Lights
It’s kind of silly how much joy these little firefly/fairy lights bring me. When I pull into my driveway at night or step out onto my front step, these bright spots waving in the dark always bring a smile to my face. An 8 pack of lights is only $34.99 and currently has a 20% off coupon. I know we are almost to winter and you might not put these out until spring, but that deal is good enough to justify buying them now and tucking them away for later, or to purchase as a holiday gift for the garden lover in your life.
Wedge Heels
Womens Wedge Ankle Boots Braided Fringe Strap Western Heeled Fall Booties Dress Shoes
I like these shoes so much I’ve bought them twice. I bought them, wore them out, and then was thrilled when I saw they were still listed on Amazon so I could buy them again. Comfortable, business casual, and stylish… I wear them to work on campus all the time. These leather wedge heels come in a variety of colors and are well worth their $50 price tag.
Wall Ivy
This wall ivy helped me make a dramatic feature wall in my office that I absolutely adore. I just tapped a few nails into the wall and it hung up easy peasy! If you are looking to add some texture, dimension or pizazz to a small space, this will help you do the trick! Right now it’s $52.98, quite a bit cheaper than when I originally bought it… so use that as permission to scoop up a roll or two and lean in your DIY decorating desires.
Wish List Items
I haven’t purchased the items below, but I have been eyeing them up for awhile. Maybe during these Prime Big Deal Days I’ll splurge and treat myself!
Gold Cordless Table Lamps
Small (2 pack) https://amzn.to/4gTB2Ow
Large (1 pack) https://amzn.to/4dSmk7T
Studies show that our phones are dirtier than public toilet seats. That thought is enough to make me want to wash my phone in bleach… but maybe this would be better?
Okay! That’s the end of my list!
