15 Best Prime Day Deals For 2021

If there really was such a thing as Christmas in July, this year's Prime Day would be perfectly timed to be its Black Friday. While Prime Day was originally held in July as a way of celebrating Amazon's birthday, last year ... well, you know. Everything was all haywire, so we all had to wait for October to have our Prime Day fun.

This year, for some reason, the powers that be have chosen to hold the two-day event just after the Summer Solstice, which means –- more daylight hours to spend indoors in front of our computer screens! Since come on, sunny summer days aren't exactly in short supply just now, but you do NOT want to miss what could be some of the best deals of the year.
