I checked it out the last two years and was so underwhelmed. That said, I have a 1st gen Echo, and two 1st gen Dots. Apparently the speakers have gotten a lot better over the years, so I may replace all of them. It feels wasteful since mine all work fine. But better speakers are very tempting since I listen to music daily on them.

Last year I bought 1 thing: the Jurassic Park collection. There was nothing that I desperately needed last year. Or the year before that.
Unless they have Canon DSLRs and lenses on sale I’m not buying anything.

Last year i got packing cubes. Yep. Deal of the century on that one. I don’t have patience to find the cool items at random hours.

We don't really need much but I will definitely check it out. My birthday is the 13th and my inlaws always email me an amazon gift card, so perfect timing.

But better speakers are very tempting since I listen to music daily on them. I use my Echo Show as my alarm clock and sound machine, in addition to being a Bluetooth speaker for streaming music when I am upstairs, so I upgraded to a 2nd gen Show for Christmas and love it. It was worth it. And Dh is using my 1st gen Show now. I’ll keep my eyes open for good portable charger deals for Prime Day. Probably buy some small kitchen gadgets - silicone trivets, etc. - if something catches my eye and is a good deal. There isn’t much I need right now and I’m somewhat housebound this summer. |

Since I am trying to downsize, probably nothing.

I might get an echo show Firestick for ds's dorm room New kindle (I use them to fall asleep and kill one every 1.5-2 years. I'll also be on the lookout for anything else for DS for college |

The layout is great with the little handle side that you can use either left or right handed. It is also water resistant- I read in the bathtub most nights. |

Good idea to look out for things that ds will need at college, freecharlie. Thanks. |

They're up to 3rd gen, and also offer a 3rd gen with premium sound (at an upcharge of course). If I'm unimpressed, I'll return it. |

I checked it out the last two years and was so underwhelmed. That said, I have a 1st gen Echo, and two 1st gen Dots I already ordered the small Echo Show as a bedside clock, should be here on Fri. Have you got smart lighting? I use Philips Hue lights and I love them, particularly with the motion sensor in the bathroom, have set it to turn on when I go in (if it's dark) and off two minutes after I leave. It also turns on in low night light mode when I have to get up and pee overnight, no more blazing lights when I'm pretending to still be asleep. Smart switches? I have one on my Scentsy warmer, set up and called it "candle" now I can just say "turn candle on/off" Camera for home security (inside)...I just bought a cheap one and loving "cat cam" while I'm away from home! I'll also be looking at a portable SSD as a backup. Just bought a new computer and restored some things from a backup drive, but discovered one portable hard drive had died, luckily there was a second one. Now I have everything on my computer it's a good time to do a new clean back-up. I need at least 2TB and those are expensive, so will be looking for a good deal. |

When do they announce what's on Prime Day? Do they have great deals on books for the Kindle?

I usually just buy digital movies. I need all the Mission Impossible and all the Fast and Furious in digital format. So I’ll look for those and see what else I need for my collection in the sales.
I was planning on buying the Echo Show 5 when it goes on sale tomorrow. Think there will be a deal on prime day for it?

This week Best Buy has 8T Western Digital Easystore hard drives on sale for $139 (down from $200). It isn't a solid state drive, but a fantasic deal for what are white labeled WD red drives. I just bought two because needed more space load my movies and music onto now that I am ripping all of my DVDs, BluRays, and CDs and putting them on a Plex media server. |

It isn't a solid state drive There will only be SSD drives in my future no more HDD! Those spinning disks are always going to fail at some point. |

A piece of luggage and packing cubes is all I can think about right now. I still have plenty of days to come up with other must haves.  |

That is why I bought Ethyl (HD2) to back up Lucy (HD1) that is backing up my main storage. I learned my lesson the hard way a few years ago. I hope there is a fantastic deal on the ssd you want on Prime Day! |

Twin B was home this year but will be heading off to a dorm this fall, so I’m going to lather, rinse, repeat! I am disappointed in the date, though—neither 15 nor 16 is a prime number. |

All I can think of is another Dot. And they are already cheap so it's not exciting to wait.

I bought an Amazon Cloud Cam last year for 1/2 off, so I may pick up another one if it's available.

My iPad is quickly becoming obsolete and since I mostly use it to watch Hulu(no longer works since the last update)/Netflix/etc I think I may replace it with a Fire. Who knows what else I might find that I just can't live without.

I don't get the whole prime day thing. Maybe it's because I don't search for stuff? I don't know. Can someone tell me how to do it so I get something out of it? Like, I need NOTHING. Seriously, NOTHING.

Seriously, NOTHING. if you don't need anything, I wouldn't bother. Otherwise they have deals on most Amazon items Daily deals Lightning deals-these start at specific times and have a limited number There are also Alexa only deals. I pick a category I am interested in and look just for deals in that category. Then I repeat |
