Our favorite Prime Day gadgets under $100 you don’t need but will really want
Govee’s floor lamps are just $60. | Image: Govee: Prime Day has a funny way of convincing you to buy things you weren’t shopping for in the first place.

As an example, the 13-inch MacBook Air M5 that used to start at $1,099 and is currently on sale for $949.99 (at Costco) will soon carry a full retail price of $1,299. That initial $150 discount just became a savings of $350 compared to Apple’s upcoming pricing. There’s no guarantee how long existing sales
