I have a confession: I love to get most of my Christmas shopping done before the Halloween decorations even appear in my neighborhood.

It sounds a bit exaggerated, but listen up: the holidays are chaotic enough without the added stress of searching for last-minute gifts. And while you might be tempted to write it off as just another manufactured deal event, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days (or Fall Prime Day, as it’s more commonly known) are actually a good time to get started.

In recent years, we’ve seen many things on sale during Prime Day in the fall that would make excellent gifts, whether you’re looking for your dad, your partner, or your friend who seems to have it all.

You can also trust that everything you see here has been thoroughly researched and tested by Wirecutter’s journalists, so it’s something they’ll enjoy for years to come. Plus, our deals team checked the price against their database to make sure it’s a real deal – and finding that ideal gift feels even more rewarding when you can get it at a discount.

These are the best Prime Day deals we found on Wirecutter-approved gifts for the important people in your life. Not only will you save your money, you’ll also preserve your sanity – and that’s a gift to yourself, too.
