wit & whimsy

I absolutely love being an Amazon Prime member and haven’t looked back once since I joined the program in 2018. I love the 2-day shipping guarantee and have come to rely on the service often including perks like grocery store delivery through the Prime app during the pandemic. I also love having Amazon Prime for the streaming capabilities linked to my smart TV. All that is to say that if you, too have Amazon Prime, you can take advantage of the great deals happening across the site through the end of today for the annual Amazon Prime Day.

The Best Amazon Prime Day Deals:

Frankly, I find the Prime Day sales wildly overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Therefore I culled through to share what I thought were some standout picks and curated them below. Of course all these deals are subject to change and subject to inventory. I woke up early to ensure nearly all links were on sale at the time of this post being published so I hope you’ll find this a handy guide to shopping the deals.

In addition to the picks below, be sure to check out my Amazon storefront for loads of my favorite Amazon products that may be on sale. I hope you find these helpful! And be sure you’re signed into your Amazon account when you start browsing so you’re being served the deals as a Prime member!

My Top Picks:

• If you don’t already have noise cancelling headphones, run don’t walk to this deal on Bose headphones. I don’t get on a plane without mine but they are also great for cancelling out noisy neighbors. I’ve never seen them priced so low before!
• Apple Airpods are included! Not a huge price difference but something if you’ve been wanting them!
• My beloved fleece zip up I can’t stop talking about is on sale! The pullover style is also great looking. I own size Medium.
