Maybe the coolest part of Amazon’s Prime Days and other deal days like it is all the small things you didn’t know you wanted out on display and priced right. Just like candy at the grocery store checkout line, these are designed to make you look twice and hopefully add to your cart because they’re neat and cheap.
Unfortunately, most of them are also crap. Take it from someone who normally has little self-control when it comes to this sort of thing; you can sink a lot of money into things you’ll never use, even if they are only a few dollars each.
Here’s a list of ten products that I’d actually use (or already use) and that are on sale right now — and they’re all under $50!
For everything on Amazon Prime Day, head to our ultimate shopping guide.
Stuff to charge your stuff
As mentioned time and time again, your gadgets won’t do anything unless they’re charged up. One day we’ll have tech that doesn’t require a direct connection for power but in the meantime you need to move electricity from the hole in your wall (or car) to the gizmo you wanna play with.
Here are three essentials, all on sale!
For your listening pleasure
Sometimes you want to tune in to some good music and forget the rest of the world exists. Your phone makes that super easy — remember when we all carried a Walkman?
Your phone also sounds terrible. Thankfully, that’s easy enough to fix by using a set of headphones like a civilized person. Really, don’t be that guy on the bus playing his country hits of the 90’s for everyone to hear.
You can spend a bunch of money and get a fancy pair of headphones or AI-powered earbuds, but you don’t have to!
Random cool things you’ll want
There are all sorts of really cool and really random things out there that you didn’t know you needed. The good news is that most of them are cheap and on sale during Prime Day.
Grab these before you need them!
There is plenty of small and cheap stuff on sale out there right now. Since I have to look through everything, I put together this little list of a good way to get those little things that make life better without just linking to a bunch of junk products.
If you see anything else worth looking at, toss it into a comment and share with us all!
