It’s Amazon’s Prime Day, and that’s already a weird start because Prime Day isn’t a day. It’s two days long!
You need to be an Amazon Prime member to shop the site with significant discounts. The two-day event is designed to reward people for being members.
Here at In Pure Spirit, we’re very interested in ethical retail, so you might wonder why Amazon is appearing here. Amazon’s track record isn’t great, but you can do some important things to make the world a better place.
For example, Amazon’s Subscribe and Save program not only saves you money but lets the retailer plan shorter shipping routes for your stuff, and that’s less carbon from transport. The Amazon Delivery Day gets all your shopping saved up for the weekly delivery, and that’s less cardboard from boxes.
In this list, we’ll look at some of the wonderfully weird curios we spotted in the sale!
Positive Potatoe
How can you say no to a potato that urges you on with the heartfelt “I may be a tiny potato, but I believe in you. Go do your thing!” Can you? Nope, I can’t!
Can a fish be handy? This zipper can be a pencil case holder, a key holder or even a makeup case. Whatever you use it for, you can surely win some attention when you slide the scaly wonder from your bag or pocket. I’m hooked.
Banana Man
The 14″ banana… man… in a coat! This banana plush is also cleverly designed with magnets inside so you can arrange your new best friend in all sorts of positions. Show me how!.
Shark blanket
Is there a fishy theme in this Prime Day-inspired collection? Are we now feeding kids to sharks? The answer to both is; maybe. But, hey, it looks fun.
Cat mug
I can tell you immediately why I like this mug – yes, the kitten on the top is cute, as is the wee paw print on the handle, but it’s the “Look at me” poser on the mug itself. Oh, and an anti-spill top is handy, too and so let’s look closer.
Shapely wine glasses
There’s no such thing as wine for kids, so why not have adult wine glasses? This pair of shapely glasses from Hoypefiy certainly suggest a mood for the night… but would you dare? I dare!
That’s a collection of just some weird and wonderful discoveries from this year’s Big Heckin’ Two-Day Prime Day. Good luck with your discount and discovery day if you use the sales this week!
In Pure Spirit
Do you find Amazon helpful? Is the retail giant valuable enough to be worth the Amazon Prime membership even if you make an effort to shop local?
