No, it’s not deja vu—Amazon’s second round of deals is live with Prime Big Deal Days, which runs from October 10 to 11, 2023. Much like Prime Day earlier this summer, you can expect major savings across the entire site, but the motives have changed—now is a great opportunity to sneak some holiday shopping in early and find Amazon gifts for men before they go back up in price.
Since the deals are landing in the middle of October, it’s an excellent time to start grabbing gifts for loved ones well in advance of the madness and competition of the holiday season. After all, between travel and planning events, the holidays are plenty stressful as is. Of course, with tens of thousands of deals on every imaginable category, actually finding everything (or anything) you need might take the entire 48 hours.
That’s why Men’s Journal got the scoop on October Prime Day deals and combed through to find the best gifts for men on Amazon. And how do we know they’re the best deals on gifts for men? Well, frankly, because a lot of these are what we’re looking to add to our own carts. Whether you’re looking for a gift to give to a guy in your life, or you just want some to take advantage of steep savings on something you’ve been eyeing, there should be something on this list to get you sorted.
As is always the case, these deals may sell out before we have time to update them, and intermediate markdowns may have been taken. But MJ will be updating this list as new items become available.
