There are just a few hours left of Amazon's October Prime Day event, and I know we're only in October – but this is surely the perfect excuse to tick some Christmas gifts off your list early. I've already spent more than I bargained for on these Pokémon Lego alternatives this Prime Day, but I'm not done just yet.

From fun stocking fillers to everyday essentials, the deals I've rounded up below are perfect for tech enthusiasts, gamers of all ages, plus those who like to get creative and hands-on.
