On October 7, the USPS refuted any claims to Rolling Stone that Amazon Prime Day would impact the timely delivery of 2020 mail-in ballots.
This year more than ever, we've been prioritizing home decor and making our immediate environment feel as comfortable and inviting as possible.
For me, that's meant lots more fluffy pillows, cozy blankets, tea, and uplifting wall decor. Since fall is everyone's favorite season, Amazon Prime Day couldn't have come at a more opportune time to up the budget-friendly game on early holiday gifting for those of us who always procrastinate — pick up a new espresso machine for your coffee-loving parent or some ornament chew toys for the furry friend in your life.
This year, the deals are boundless, and there's something for everyone to gift themselves, too — no matter how low maintenance you may be. Now's the time to hit "place order" on the cozy couch that's been sitting in your (virtual) cart for the past ten months, or the smart vacuum you've been dying to test out on your new carpets.
Whatever it is, investing in the homes we're spending more time in now than ever before is an important form of self-care — now more than ever. Here are the very best gifts you can get for your loved ones (and yourself).
