There are necessities, like food, water, and shelter, there are wants, like new tech, coffee machines, LEGOs, and skincare, and then there are silly purchases.
We’re talking about gifts for your funniest co-worker, a family member or a friend who could use a good laugh, or maybe just one to stash away for your next White Elephant party, (gifting done early is gifting done right, in our opinion.)
And now that Prime Day is officially here, all three of those overriding categories –– needs, wants, and silly gifts –– are available at huge discounts from the e-tail giant.
