I like to think of this upcoming Amazon savings event as their pre Black Friday sale. As such, I try to use this sales event as an opportunity to get a head start on my holiday shopping list. Since I am that girl who starts to plan for the holidays well before October, I have created fall and winter gift guide for the upcoming Amazon Prime Day Sale.

For those who are unfamiliar with this season’s Amazon Prime Day, it is their two day fall and winter sale that is exclusive to Amazon Prime members. It will take place on October 10th and 11th. Basically, it is a really big savings event!

If you are not yet an Amazon Prime member, you can sign up HERE.

On that note, by going through my wish list and past purchases, I have curated a gift guide by gathering a few of my favourite fall and winter essentials to consider during this season’s Amazon Prime Day event.

You will find everything listed and categorized under:

1. NIECE & NEPHEW GIFTS
2. HOLIDAY BAKING
3. BEAUTY GIFTS
4. BOOK GIFTS
5. FASHION
6. HOME GIFTS
7. TRAVEL GIFTS
8. GIFT WRAPPING

NIECE & NEPHEW GIFTS

Between my cousins and friends’ children, I have a handful of nieces and nephews on my holiday shopping list. I like to get these gifts taken care of first and avoid the Black Friday madness, if possible.

If not a timeless keepsake, which I usually do for a first baby gift, I try to keep holiday gifts within the book or activity category. My great auntie always did this for my brother and I and her gifts were always well loved.

Below are some of my go-to auntie gifts, that I felt were gift guide worthy, that you can find on Amazon and are hopefully on sale during the Prime Day Sale savings event for the fall and winter season.
