These 21 holiday gifts are already on sale ahead of Prime Day — save big on Garmin, Apple, Nespresso and more
It's never too early to start your holiday shopping

Amazon is gearing up for Prime Big Deal Days, which will return on October 7 and 8. And although it may seem a little premature to start thinking about holiday shopping, the retailer is already promoting its Holiday Shop, which is filled to the brim with deals from some of our favorite brands.
In fact, Amazon has even put together a list of the top 100+ gifts. As someone who typically waits until the last minute to do holiday shopping, I'm using October's Prime Day as the perfect excuse to check everyone off my list early. Not only will I be way ahead of the game — but I'll also save a few bucks while doing so.
Amazon's October event is still a few days away, but now is a time as good as any to start your early holiday shopping. To make things simpler, I've rounded up some of my favorite gifts, which are all sporting a sweet discount. Keep scrolling to check them out.

Good for nightstands or desks where space is tight, and the semi-sphere design looks cleaner than typical smart speakers.
The Stanley IceFlow Flip Straw 2.0 Water Bottle features AeroLight spun steel, which Stanley says makes it 33% lighter than other stainless steel bottles. That makes it awesome when you already have a lot to carry when you're out and about. It also has a flip straw for easy sipping.
This is one of the best streaming devices available. In our Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max review, we praised its snappy performance, 4K Ultra HD streaming at 60fps with HDR, WiFi 6 support and the included Alexa Voice Remote. Don't pass up the chance to get it at this price.
Although these may look identical to the popular Ugg Classic Ultra Mini Platform, their price tag says otherwise. These platform boot slippers are warm, fuzzy and perfect for wearing around the house on a chilly fall or winter day. If you're wondering if you can wear them outdoors, the answer is yes! They just so happen to be water and stain resistant, too.
Mechanical watches are so haute right now, and you don't need to break the bank to own a stylish and reliable one.

The Fire HD 10 packs a bright 10.1-inch Full HD display, solid battery life, and enough speed for streaming, reading, and everyday apps. It’s one of the best-value tablets around and at just $69 ahead of Prime Day, it’s a standout deal that’s hard to ignore.
If there's someone on your shopping list who's notorious for losing things, kindly help them out by gifting them with the Apple AirTag. It's an excellent Bluetooth tracker that is extremely easy to set up and does a great job of locating your valuables. This bundle includes four, so you can have one on multiple items.
Amazon has slashed the price of the Beats Studio Buds. You get active noise canceling, sweat resistance and up to eight hours of listening time, or 24 hours when combined with the pocket-sized charging case. Our Beats Studio Buds review called these "a small but feature-stuffed set of wireless earbuds."
This simple espresso maker is the easiest, and most affordable, way to enjoy a Nespresso machine. This is the gift for someone who perhaps just moved into a new home, or who's aging coffee maker could use an upgrade. Bonus points if you pair it with Nespresso pods.
Have a Potterhead in your life? This is the Lego set they need. This impressively detailed, 2660-piece set is the very first Lego model of the Wizarding World's most iconic locale: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it's absolutely packed with hidden details; my personal favorite is the dinky Chamber of Secrets hidden well below the rocks...
This instant camera has a special feature: You can record an audio clip with each photo you take; a QR code is printed on the photo, so anyone can scan it with their smartphone and listen to the clip. This deal is also available with a 60- or 120-pack of film. You can also use this camera to print photos taken with your smartphone.

This styling system replicates salon-quality results at home. The curling attachments create long-lasting waves and curls, while the brush attachments smooth and add volume effectively. It switches easily between drying and styling modes, and the long cord allows plenty of styling room. With $50 off, it's a solid price for a complete styling system.
Although now superseded by the WH-1000XM5, the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones are still a solid buy. They offer effective ANC, superior comfort, excellent sound quality, and an epic battery life that runs up to 38 hours. In our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, we said they're one of the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market.
If you want something soft sided, this is a great deal. With a capacity of 6.2 gallons, it's large enough to hold up to 16 cans plus ice. In addition, its durable material is waterproof, reinforced and comes with a handy grab handle for easy portability.
The Garmin Vivoactive 6 is a seriously well-rounded device with 80 fitness modes on board, as well and real-time heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen saturation, women's health and stress tracking.

This is one of the best laptops you can buy thanks to its 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. We gave this laptop our Editor's Choice award because it's easily the best MacBook to date, and one of the best ultraportables period.
