Amazon Prime Day deals are traditionally a good opportunity to pick up some early Christmas pressies but why should it be all about other people? This year I'm seeing it as a chance to spoil myself with a few well-earned mum treats. Here's what I've got my eye on.
Amazon Prime Day 2023 is live now over Tuesday 11th July and Wednesday 12th July, with savings on everything from parenting gear - keep an eye on our Prime Day baby deals page for those - to gadgets, tech, and toys. As usual, you need to be a Prime member to take advantage of the deals.
Amazon Prime Day has - for me as a working mum of three - traditionally always been about my kids. From snapping up must-have items of baby gear like prams, pushchairs, and car seats to splashing out on toys to pop away for Christmas, Prime Day is an opportunity to tick some things off my mental load - even if it means lightening my wallet in the process. This year, however, with teens who have decent summer jobs and a tween who is a savvy saver of her own pocket money, I find myself - for once - thinking about the little things I could treat myself or my mum friends to this Prime Day. Here's what's in my basket...

To keep track of lightning deals throughout the two-day shopping event - these are short-lived flash sales that end quickly after a limited period of time - it's also worth installing the Amazon app on your phone.
