You could spend hours looking for Amazon’s best gifts this holiday season, especially now that their October Prime Day deals are running through the end of today. The perfect gadget for dad, skincare sets for everyone you know, tech gifts for your gaming-obsessed buddy—we can confidently saying there is quite literally something for every single person on this planet to be found on the mega retailer.
But we can’t ignore the fact that with a selection so big, it can be easy to get lost among the duds. One of the best things to do is to go into your Amazon gift search with very specific keywords in mind. While Etsy may be a good place to search “best wedding gifts,” Amazon is not. Step into the vast world of Prime Big Deal Days with a (somewhat) specific idea of what you’re looking for in terms of brands (all things Le Creuset or Georg Jensen are great places to start!) or product category.
And if you really don’t know what you’re looking for, fret not—that is exactly why this guide is here. With competitive pricing and free shipping, the budget-friendly options are abundant (and fast, for last-minute shoppers).

Rounding out our gift guide is, of course, an Amazon gift card. True, a gift card can be seen as a last-minute gift, but does that make it any less great? They can use it for anything, whether it’s a new set of succulents or the air fryer or Bluetooth speaker they’ve had their eye on.
