Let’s be honest: Shopping on Amazon can be overwhelming. The mega-retailer has rightfully earned its nickname, “the everything store.” But with a seemingly endless assortment of stuff (some not so great), it can be frustrating to navigate the digital aisles, especially if you’re looking for a last-minute gift to give someone. Ideally, you’ll want something that can impress the receiver without breaking the bank. Oh, and two-day free shipping doesn’t hurt either, right?
Well, after spending hours browsing pages upon pages, I’ve found just that, and—what’s even better—every item is on sale, thanks to Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days. “What’s that,” you ask? Think of it as a second round of Prime Day-level savings. Brands are slashing the prices on everything, from pretty little dresses by Staud to athlete-approved Hoka sneakers.
If you’re feeling generous and looking for something to give to a special person in your life, I’ve unearthed 24 gifts that will not disappoint.
