Have I got New Year’s Eve party ideas for you, people. Going out? Staying in? Or maybe you and your crew are doing a mixture of both. I want you to be prepared when the clock strikes midnight, whether you celebrate with a kiss or a toast of champagne, or are frantically looking for your phone to take a video of yourself yelling and spinning around. Or is that just me?

Anyway, here’s a list of items to help you ring in the new year wherever you may be. You can also get your Netflix queue ready here for your post-NYE recovery.

October’s Prime Big Deal Days: Early deals to shop now
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days early deals

As many know, while Prime Day 2024 has already happened, Amazon has another big Prime event later in the year. Last year, they called it Prime Big Deal Days, and we're excited to learn that's returning this year. Slated to take place a few weeks from now, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days will kick off from Tuesday, October 8 to Wednesday, October 9. We can expect some huge markdowns, flash deals, and lots of discounts and offers on various gear, from home decor and furniture to toys, games, and tools. It's going to be huge.

Some brands that Amazon has specifically called out include LEGO, Squishmallows, Disney, Amazon Essentials, NEST New York, Lenox, Lodge, and many more. That spans toys to home decor and winter fashion. Alongside the event, Amazon will be sharing Holiday Gift Guides, complete with trending and on-sale items to help you find what you're looking for. Of course, don't forget our guides here at Digital Trends, especially on all of the best deals we've found.
When is Amazon Prime Big Deal days 2024?
Amazon Prime Big Deal days officially start on October 8th and go until October 9th. This isn't, however, the full story. There are going to be early deals (just keep scrolling to start seeing our favorites) as well as competitor deals. While Amazon sort of rules the market, and many people will hold out to see what Amazon does before making a big purchase, there's nothing stopping manufacturers and retailers from throwing their hat in the ring, too. Expect "Early Halloween Deals" and "Early October Savings" sales to pop up starting at the beginning of October. Plus, even on Amazon, individual retailers may decide to mark sales items in their stores ahead of other deals.

Apple AirPods 2 — $89, was $129

At this point in the game, the Apple AirPods 2 are the entry-level fare of the AirPods line. There's a lot to like about them, still, however. For one, looking at our Apple AirPods 2 review, updated around this time in 2022, we see a recorded MSRP of $199. Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Still, as of 2022 our reviewer still found the AirPods 2 to be a safe and reliable bet for wireless headphones. While things like the lack of waterproofing were criticized, it is worth putting in context. Our long-standing pick for the best headphones — the WH-1000XM5 — also lack an IP rating for water resistance, so the AirPods 2 are in good company.
