These Prime Day deals under AU$50 make for excellent Christmas gifts
Don't wait – grab these stocking stuffers while they're still discounted
It might feel too soon to start shopping for Christmas, but December 1 is only 50 days away, and can it really ever be too early to save money? You might be used to Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales being your cue to lock-in gifts, but with Amazon's second Prime Day sale in full swing, October is a great time to start affordably shopping for the holidays.
Of course, there's the usual savings to be had. Crocs are down as much as 42%, our favourite powerbank is heavily discounted, highly-rated men's cologne is cheap as chips, and even our furry friends can enjoy massive savings on cat food, treats and dental sticks.
Keeping the budget to under AU$50 doesn't mean we're only shouting about tasty deals on whitening strips, pens and underwear, though. A whole bunch of gift-worthy tech is discounted right now thanks to Prime Day, and these 5 deals are our favourite.

It can even control your smart home if you have an array of Amazon smart devices.
