The clock is ticking as Amazon UK launches its Last Minute Christmas Deals event

amazon prime day deals

Just because Black Friday is behind us now, that doesn't mean you've missed the chance to get a great deal on a Christmas gift - or a cheeky treat for yourself. Retailers are going to be pushing out bargains right until the final shipping day just before Christmas.

So it'll be no surprise to see Amazon launch its Last Minute Christmas Deals event today, which will continue through until December 16th. But just because you've got another 10 days remaining, doesn't mean you should wait as the sale includes lots of Deals of the Day, which expire at midnight each day or as long as stocks last. You can check out the full list of deals at Amazon, or you can take a look at our highlights first if you don't fancy wading through all the offers.

Kindle Paperwhite £119.99 £99.99 at Amazon
This is Amazon's newest Kindle and comes with an updated design that includes a flush backlit screen and a waterproof body for a fraction of the price of the much more expensive Kindle Oasis. In terms of value, this is the best ereader you can buy.

Sphero Mini £49.99 £34.99 at Amazon
Sphero has made some cool remote controlled devices in recent years, especially for Star Wars fans and this is a super deal thanks to the discount. You can control the ball via an app on your phone, and we're tempted by the option to control it via facial expressions too. That and we're going to chase the cat with it. Expires at 23:59 December 6th.

Samsonite Aeris suitcase £219 £97.55 at Amazon
