amazon's own gadgets (always the best prime day deals) 🔌
amazon always marks its own devices down the hardest on prime day, so this is where the biggest percent-off lives.
the signature one has the auto-adjusting light and wireless charging, which is exactly what i want for reading in bed without blasting my eyes. it had a limited time deal tag when i checked.
Kindle Paperwhite Signature 32GB 2024 Black
kitchen timer, music while i clean, and yelling the weather at it before i pick an outfit. it was about half off, which is the price it should always be honestly.
Amazon Echo Dot (newest) - Alexa+ Speaker, Charcoal
for the tv that still has the slow built-in apps. wi-fi 6 and 4k, and it plugs right into the back. one of the bigger markdowns on the amazon devices.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus with Wi-Fi 6 & Alexa+
the screen version. recipes on the counter while my hands are covered in something, and a little photo frame when it's not doing anything. limited time deal when i checked.
Amazon Echo Show 8 (newest), 8.7" HD, Graphite
battery powered, so it's renter-friendly with no wiring. you can see and talk to whoever's at the door from your phone, which is mostly me telling delivery drivers where to leave things. biggest percent off on this whole list.
Ring Battery Doorbell 2K Retinal Wide-Angle
the audio 🎧
earbuds, over-ear headphones and a speaker that are actually discounted, plus the headset that lives on my desk.
the noise cancelling version, with the shorter stem and the comfier fit. good markdown, but stock was getting low when i looked, so don't sit on it.
Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds ANC
the over-ear ones everyone wears on flights. the noise cancelling is the whole point, and it was around half off when i checked, which is rare for these.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones
the speaker for the pool, the patio and the tailgate. it's waterproof and dustproof, and it's louder than it looks.
JBL Flip 6 - Portable Waterproof Speaker - Camo
mine lives on my desk for ranked nights. the battery is the reason: i charge it about once a week. it works with pc, ps5 and switch, just not xbox.
HyperX Cloud III S Wireless Gaming Headset
desk + everyday tech 💻
the smaller everyday stuff: a watch, a tablet, a cute camera and the mouse that saved my wrist.
steps, workouts, sleep and cycle tracking, without paying for the fanciest model. it had a limited time deal tag when i checked.
Apple Watch SE 3 GPS 40mm Smartwatch
the base ipad is all most people actually need: notes, shows and drawing on the couch. it's a smaller markdown than the rest, but ipads rarely go on sale at all.
Apple iPad 11-inch A16, 128GB, Blue
twist the lens to turn it on, there's a selfie mirror, and the exposure is automatic so the pictures don't come out washed out. the lilac one is the cutest.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Instant Camera Lilac
my wrist stopped complaining after i switched to this. it feels weird for one day, then you can't go back.
Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Wireless Mouse
the pencil that goes with the ipad above, for notes and doodling on the couch. small markdown, and check the compatibility list on the listing before you buy.
Apple Pencil (USB-C) - Check Device Compatibility
smart home + little gadgets 🏠
the small stuff that makes an apartment feel smarter, plus two more amazon devices that were seriously marked down.
a 2 pack of little plug-in cameras, which is what i'd get to check on charlie while i'm out. 2k video with zoom, and it was one of the biggest markdowns i found.
Blink Mini 2K+ Indoor Security Camera 2-Pack
the cheap tablet for shows in bed and recipes in the kitchen. it had amazon's early prime big deal days badge and was about half off.
Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet, 10.1" Full HD, 4GB RAM, 32GB
the color kindle, so book covers and comics actually look like something. limited time deal when i checked.
Amazon Kindle Colorsoft 16GB 2024 Model Black
keys, wallet, carry-on, and the one bag i always lose. it's a small markdown, but airtags barely ever go on sale.
Apple AirTag 2nd Gen 4 Pack - Key Finder
