My Top Amazon Prime Day 2024 Deal Picks

It’s that sale that many of us wait for each year, and this year, there are actually some pretty great savings on gadgets and smart home gear. I’m sharing my list of things I either own and love that are on sale or things that I actually bought this year, too.

So, in no particular order:

Eve Flare

25% Off (was $99.95, now $74.95)

Eve Flare is a rechargeable portable smart LED lamp that not only can you change the color of but also take it with you to the patio, pool or any other setting as it’s IP65 water resistant. I already have two of these and just bought a third for my office.

iRobot Roomba j7+

50% off (was $799.99, now $399.99)

I feel like I’ve gone full circle on robot vacs. I started with Roomba and then got swayed to other brands (Roborock) with better AI/performance and mopping. However, they became overly complicated to maintain, and I’m back to Roomba with this j7+. I bought one at $599 and am now buying a second at this half-off price for upstairs. It works better than any other robot vacuum I’ve used.

My 2015 Holiday Gadget Gift Guide is Here

2015-holiday-gadget-gift-guide

That’s right it’s my guide to help you with you holiday shopping for the gadget lover (freak) on your list. The way this thing started was each year towards the holiday season all my friends started asking me and emailing about what my picks were in various categories and of course the answers were usually the same. So I decided to compile a list and just email it to the folks that asked.

Once again I’ve put together a Holiday Gadget Gift Guide to help you pick out gifts for the techies and gadget lovers on your gift list. I’ve chosen Amazon.com simply because they are the one online retailer with not only the largest presence, but also the one that carries 99% of the items I recommend. Another advantage is that I can continue to add things that come up all the way up to the final days of the holiday season. In previous years I would always find some cool gadgets after the static gift guide was published.

Something NEW This Year!

gift-guide-categories

I’ve simplified my guide this year. Instead of including dozens of products each year (yeah it was overwhelming to me too), I’ve selected only the TOP 9 Products in any one category. This forces me to only pick the BEST items for my gift guide and makes it a whole lot easier for you to pick a gift.

How did you pick the items that you recommend?

Simple! If it’s in my guide it’s because I either use it now, have used it in the past or one of my close friends or colleagues use it and I trust their opinion. Now in some cases there may be an item in the guide that is NEWER than the one I use and I had to list that one because my model is no longer available. Unless I’ve used it or know someone who has, it doesn’t get in PERIOD.

How does the gift guide work?

The guide is broken out by Category so that you can shop accordingly. This way you can pick your gift by the kind of person you’re shopping for. I know that sometimes you have to buy a gift based on a certain dollar amount or budget (like gifts for co-workers), so I’ve given you a couple of dollar amount categories too. Happy shopping and in case I don’t see you later, Happy Holidays to you and your family! You can go straight to my 2015 Holiday Gift Guide here.

My Top 10 Picks for 2015

While the guide above has my TOP PICKS for 2015 that I like and would recommend, here are my Top 10 picks for BEST GADGET GIFTS OF 2015:

5 Hot Deals for Cyber Monday 2014

cybermonday

I can remember a time when Black Friday was the Friday after Thanksgiving and Small Business Saturday was the following day which led to Cyber Monday the Monday following Thanksgiving. Black Friday was for those that wanted to get up early, stand in lines and clamor for deals with brick and mortar stores. Cyber Monday was reserved for the online deals. Now it’s 2014 and that’s simply no longer the case. Sure there are still lines on Black Friday for local deals, but stores are competition more and more each year our attention. Each year they tried outdo each other by opening earlier and earlier until finally Friday at 12:01 AM was no longer good enough. Thanksgiving evening became fair game and that finally became Thanksgiving afternoon. As sad as that sounds especially for those workers wishing to spend time with their families and friends on Thanksgiving, Black Friday online (you know that Cyber Monday thing) suddenly became “Black November”. Some online retailers have been running deals all week while others have been running deals all month. With that said, Black Friday probably still sees the deepest discounts. So what’s left for Cyber Monday? Not much, but in some cases the big names have different items on sale today. Here are a few to check out:
