Want to demonstrate your fandom in a new (and incredibly adorable) way? Try this Echo Dot stand.
$12 at Amazon

Sometimes, the best purchases aren't brand-new devices — they're accessories that make your devices feel like new. This stand for the 3rd gen Echo Dot is adorable and a fantastic way to show off your love of Star Wars and Grogu.

"I bought this for my son's room and it did not disappoint! Very cute and easy to assemble. I would gift it again!" said one mom.

Fire HD 8 Plus tablet

The Fire HD 8 does everything a Kindle can do and more — and now it's at its lowest-ever price!
$70 at Amazon

Kindles are great, but the Fire HD 8 Table can act as an e-reader and a streaming device and so much more. It's great for watching content or roaming the web through Amazon's Silk browser, too. At 50% off, this is an absolute steal.

"I primarily use this tablet for Kindle e-book reading, but I also browse the internet a little. It's fast. The color is gorgeous and vivid," one five-star reviewer said. "The screen is a wonderful improvement from my seven-inch device, a delight I wasn't expecting to even notice. I'm very pleased."

Say goodbye to bad Wi-Fi connections with this easy-to-use, soon-to-be-indispensable gadget.

The Amazon Eero Mesh Wi-Fi Router is easy to use: just plug it into your modem and it will broadcast your network across 1,500 square feet. You can pair it with other units to extend that reach ever farther, too!

INSIGNIA
If you're looking for a small, secondary TV to fit in the garage or the bedroom, this is an excellent choice...especially at $90 off!
$100 at Amazon

This 42-inch Fire TV is a great option as a second (or third) TV. It's not necessarily the best choice for a main display, simply because it's only 1080p — but if you want to keep something on in the background, you can't go wrong with the built-in Fire TV functions and the low price. Want a different size? There are plenty of others on sale.

"Like so many, we now have several TVs through out the house. This unit is in the spare bedroom/guest room. The room is only about 10’ x 12’, and this TV is almost the perfect size for the room. It is very convenient that all the programs are preloaded and simply signing into my Prime account loaded all our personal features right onto the unit. The picture quality is good, the unit is sleek, and provides a good picture." said one shopper.

Ring

Ring Spotlight Cam

Light up the night with this Ring Spotlight Camera and keep a better eye on the goings-on about your home.
$160 at Amazon

The Ring Spotlight Cam brightens up the area around your home and can distinguish between normal motion and that of a person. It even has a siren to help startle would-be intruders. Oh, and it comes with lifetime theft protection; if the camera is stolen, Ring will replace it for free. And if you need more? Well, there are lots of Ring products on sale right now.

One fan said, "I bought this camera to be a nanny cam for my car because I live in an apartment building and I have a garage that, while technically private, is easy to get into. I have a car that I love and wanted to ensure that she stays safe, so this is her car nanny cam. I now get videos sent to me daily of the person in my garage (me) petting and polishing my car. It's a great product and a very inexpensive insurance system if you have something you wish to protect."

More than just a high-resolution TV, this entry in the Omni lineup has a host of other appealing features, like built-in Alexa and even two-way video calling (with the right accessory).
$340 at Amazon

If you're looking for an easy-to-use, lovely-to-look-at TV, you can't go wrong with the Omni series. Between its support for HDR and Dolby Digital Plus, the 4K resolution and easy access to more than one million TV shows and movies, it's a great set-up-and-go set. It comes with a lot of bonus features too — and right now, it's $130 off. And don't forget about bigger options:

"Bottom line: This is a great TV. Gaming in 4K and movies/shows look amazing. There are a plethora of options to fine-tune the picture settings," said one happy viewer. "My favorite feature is the Smart-HDR setting, which makes SDR look much more detailed and have better contrast. The FireTV OS is my favorite over everything else (Roku, AppleTV). Best purchase I've made in a long time."

We know we're always telling you to buy a new TV (see above). But, really...read a book once in a while! This electronic wonder keeps your entire library in one easy-to-access spot.
$240 at Amazon

How's that "I'm gonna read more in 2023!" resolution going? The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Bundle holds all your books but weighs just six ounces. It also grants you access to Amazon’s ginormous Kindle library — get thousands of titles delivered straight to your e-reader. Read for up to 10 weeks without needing a recharge (not a typo). The Paperwhite has a screen that looks like, well, actual paper, so you can get more of that real-book feel. This set comes with its own case and stand.

"When I read about the new Kindle Paperwhite, I really couldn’t believe I needed another device, but I am an avid reader, and it just sounded great," said a satisfied shopper. "I ordered it. I love it. It reads so much like a book, has more memory and holds a charge for longer. It was a great buy."

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
