My Fashionable Aunt Asked Me to Shop Amazon for Her—44 Under-$200 Items I Suggested
Today, the Amazon Prime Day sale officially starts after a lead-up of early deals, and my aunt was the first to text me about it. Looking for advice, she wanted to know the best way to shop it and whether I had any recommendations on what to prioritize.
As I put together a list for her, I kept a few things in mind. For one, she's a busy mom on a budget, and she's incredibly stylish. I wanted to include a mix of easy wardrobe staples that she'll get plenty of wear out of, helping her make the most of her money. I know she loves Madewell, so I sent her four pieces from the brand that match her style: the Essential Belted Bucket Tote, the Shopper Tote, the Petite Wide-Leg Jeans, and the Hera Grommet Mary Jane Flats.
Whenever Prime Day comes around, our editors like to use it as a time to restock beauty products I already use or finally try items I've been hesitant to buy at full price. So, I made sure to send my aunt some of my favorites: French pharmacy must-haves, Paula's Choice's exfoliating toner, Hanni's body moisturizers, and Wonderskin's lip stains. She also loves DedCool's Xtra Milk perfume, and a bronzy, glowy look, like Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Sunshine Drops.
There are plenty of home deals worth browsing as well, so I shared a handful, such as the Little Green Machine, which several people on our team swear by. Other standouts include the Hatch alarm clock, Vitamix immersion blender, and Cosori air fryer.
