The best Amazon Prime Day home and kitchen deals 2024: Everything to expect
Amazon Prime Day is around the corner once again and we're expecting the deals to be flowing. Here's our rundown of what's coming.
Here at GQ we’re suckers for a good deals day, and unfortunately Black Friday is just too far away for our sale-induced seratonin boost to get us through. But rain or shine, who can we count on to deliver? Oh, why Amazon of course. Enter the Amazon Prime Day sales 2024.
Giving us a much-needed mid-year shopping bonanza, Amazon Prime Day falls normally sometime in the early summer meaning its the perfect opportunity to stock up on warm weather bits, whether that’s a new summer duvet, a BBQ, some chic garden furniture, or the drinks-makers that’ll get you through those al-fresco parties in style. It’s also a great chance to get your hands on any bits you might need in the grooming department (manifesting some sun screen deals for us all), as well as an opportunity to invest in some new luggage or travel items for any pending summer holidays.
Of course, we need to be realistic about what to expect. It is the middle of summer after all, and it would be a bit outlandish to compare an Amazon sale to something bigger like Black Friday (although we do like to pretend, just to raise our spirits). The deals do vary quite substantially, some being quite major, and others being a bit meh. To give you an idea of what might happen and what to keep an eye on, we’ve listed some of our favourite deals from the just passed Amazon Spring Sale below. Hopefully, they’ll only get bigger and better as the next few months roll on.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
While we don't yet know the date this year, we can confidently assume that the Amazon Prime Day sales should fall sometime in the summer. Normally, it happens in the middle of July, so we'd say it's best to bookmark your calendars for sometime around then and keep an eye on out for further details.
How do you sign up for Amazon Prime?
If you’ve managed to go this long without Amazon Prime, we have to salute your ability to resist a good deal. But if you’re planning on getting involved and saving a bit of money this week, you’ll need to sign up in order to access the Amazon Spring Deals Day. Thankfully, it’s nice and easy. Head to Amazon Prime, pop in your details (enjoy the free trial even), and prepare to get a bit addicted to online shopping. That, and you’ll also have access to Amazon Prime Video’s TV Shows and films. Signing up for Amazon Prime only costs £8.99 per month, or you can pay £89 a year straight up. Just click the button below and get yourself primed and ready (pardon the pun).
