From Ohio State to the Blue Jackets, 6 Columbus-themed items on sale for Amazon Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is happening now, but even if you haven't had a chance to begin browsing yet there is no need to panic. It's actually a two-day event, and Ohioans have three extra hours beyond that to find a deal.
Amazon's annual 48-hour shopping event for new and existing Amazon Prime members began Tuesday and ends Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. That means Ohioans have until 2:59 a.m. Thursday to conclude a purchase, though it doesn't mean the item you want to buy will still be available.
The event, which rivals Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, includes deals on some of Amazon's most popular products, including some Columbus- and Ohio-themed products.
From charcuterie boards shaped like the state of Ohio to Buckeyes-themed wireless speakers and everything in between, here are a few of the best Columbus Prime Day deals available now.
Etched Columbus rocks glass
Have a whiskey lover in your life? Looking for a gift for your cocktail-obsessed friend? Consider this laser-etched rocks glass from Well Told, featuring a wraparound map of Columbus.

The lowball glass is also dishwasher safe. Typically $17.95, save 20% during Prime Day for a new total of $14.36.
