Here’s What the Dwell Staff Would Really Buy on Amazon Prime Day

Prime Day rapidly approaches—here’s what we’ve bought (or want to buy) from Amazon.

Amazon is occasionally a necessary evil, useful in a pinch for when you cannot find the thing that you want and need, and are left with little to no choice. When Prime Day rolls around, though, Amazon’s siren call becomes a little harder to ignore.

Below, a robust selection of the random things that the Dwell staff has bought from Amazon and genuinely enjoyed—or stuff that they want and are hopeful is on sale for Prime Day.

"I share an Amazon account with one of my sisters so the assemblage of things in our ‘save for later’ section is a real motley assortment of bathing suits, books I want to read, supplements, cat food, and other sundry items that are frankly too embarrassing to share. However, I am in need of a pepper mill and the cat clearly ‘needs’ this bed... It’d be great if either were on sale for Prime Day, but if they're not, I’ll find some other options!" —Megan Reynolds, Senior Home Guides Editor
