You can find some intriguing items for sale on Prime Day
Prime Day is a chance for Prime members to buy products at some of the lowest prices of the year. While many people wait for the annual event so they can purchase stuff they need at a deep discount, essential items aren’t the only things you should have your eye on during this two-day savings bonanza.
Kicking off on July 16, Prime Day is the perfect time to get something whimsical that you might never buy at full price. Whether it’s a tortilla throw blanket or a hot dog and bun toaster , indulge a little. Treat yourself to something just because you want it, not because you need it. We’ve spotted discounts on some pretty quirky products, and we’ve included some favorites we’re hoping to see deals on during the event, too.
Why settle for taco Tuesdays when you can be a tortilla whenever you want? This giant throw blanket features an upgraded, more realistic pattern. The non-fading, lint-free, ultra-soft flannel is so cozy, you might even like it more than your Snuggie.
In the “why didn’t I think of that?” category, we present a toaster designed specifically for hot dogs and buns. The adjustable setting lets you cook your meal to the perfect level of doneness while the thoughtfully included tongs keep you from toasting the tips of your fingers when removing the hot dog and buns from the appliance.
