If you have ever wanted an arcade machine in whatever den you have created for yourself, then now you can - and one for under £500. This one by Arcade1Up features artwork from the original Atari arcade machine, stands 150cm high, has a 17-inch colour display and dual speakers. Couple this with a flight stick and realistic control buttons and what you have is a slice of retro gaming heaven.
With a whopping 60% off, these Beats Studio3 headphones are a proper bargain right now. These have decent noise cancelling, 22 hours’ battery life and support spatial audio. They are also equipped with Apple’s powerful W1 chip and look pretty stylish as well. Oh, and they work with both iOS and Android phones.
This is it: the ultimate Star Wars LEGO kit, formed of 7,541 bricks, packed with goodies (including 4 classic crew minifigures: Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia and C-3PO, plus 3 Episode VII/VIII crew minifigures: Older Han Solo, Rey and Finn and a BB-8 Star Wars droid figure). So much detail has gone into this LEGO set. Yes, it’s pricey but what a thing of beauty!
If you are looking for a bargain whisky tipple then this is it. We wouldn’t pay full price for Glenlivet Founder's Reserve but this is a fantastic whisky for under £25. Taste wise, there’s a creamy texture to this malt with pear, orange and toffee apple notes. It’s got a lovely amber colour, too.
If you already have a Sonos setup, then the Beam is an essential piece of home cinema kit. It doesn’t take up too much real estate but offers up a full, rounded sound thanks to Dolby Atmos and its advanced audio processing. Couple this with Sonos’ Trueplay tuning and what you have is a decent, affordable way to upgrade your TV’s sound.
One of the best beard trimmers on the market right now, the 9000 Series allows you to get closer than ever thanks to Philips’ ‘unique steel precision technology’ There are 30 different lengths to choose from and you get two hours’ use from a one-hour charge.
Islay is better known for its whisky but The Botanist has the claim to fame as being the first gin from the Scottish island. What this means is you get a gin packed with botanicals found on the island, leading to a complex, fruity taste. It’s also distilled three times longer than normal gin which adds to its mystique.
If you fancy getting a 40mm Submariner without breaking the bank, then this one from Invicta is for you. It’s a smart-looking watch that looks way more than the price you pay for it and the innards are decent, too, with the ever-accurate NH35A movement inside - something you usually find in watches double the price of the full RRP.
If you are after a BIG TV, then we haven’t seen better than this fantastic Sony BRAVIA XR 77 inch. As our sister site T3 says in its review, the Sony A8OL has “one of the most insightful, composed and dynamic pictures around.” And that it is a “real-deal 5-star product”. We haven’t seen it drop as low as it is right now, so if you are looking for a new TV then this may well be the one for you.
King Louis XV was the one who gave Remy Martin the reward of excellence way back in 1738 - and we aren’t going to disagree with loyalty. This is a fine cognac, one that’s both rich and mellow. This is one for special occasions and a must by at this price.
The best whisky deals this Amazon Prime Big Deal Days
When it comes to premium bourbon, this is about as premium as it gets. It's been crafted in association with Bob Dylan and the price point is usually around the £75 so this is a fantastic deal. Taste wise, there's a sweetness there and a smoke hit with vanilla cutting through.
If you want to try something a little different then try this wonderful rye from New Orleans. Similar to bourbon, but made with at least 51% rye it makes for a smoother taste. We are big fans of this bottle.
Nikka From The Barrel is a wonderful way into Japanese whisky. It is a blended whisky comprised of 60% Coffey Grain and 40% malts and made from one of the most famous distilleries in the world.
If you want something special bourbon wise, thenElijah Craig is for you. Packed with vanilla and maple flavour, there's a nice and spicy heat from the booze, too. This won the whisky of the year 2017.
This is the bottle we always pick up when Prime Day comes around. It’s one of the most well-rounded drinks, with notes of red apple and stone fruits. It’s a ruby colour and there’s a lovely crispness to the taste.
Bunnahabhain is always an interesting whisky as it’s an Islay that isn’t peated whatsoever - a rarity for this particular island. The lack of peat (there is still a hint, mind) means that it’s more of a mellow taste that’s rich in fruit.
Bushmill’s 10 year is a smooth dram, packed with honey and vanilla notes. This one is a really nice way in to the Bushmill’s line-up and an award winner to boot.
Gentleman Jack is a more discerning drop of JD, having been mellowed for longer, thanks to a double dip in charcoal. This gives it a smoother, longer taste on the palate. We prefer this one neat but it's also a decent base for a whiskey sour.
The best gin deals this Amazon Prime Big Deal Days
You probably know Hendrick's, but what is Lunar? It's a limited release with a distinctive floral and "warm" flavour.
A unique blend of six Japanese-based botanicals, Roku Suntory captures the scent of cherry blossoms and green tea with hints of pepper for a fresh and distinctive taste.
Dark fruits are part of what make up the intensity of Brockmans gin. It’s packed with blueberries and blackberries, as well as a decent dose of juniper. Add to that liquorice, cardamom and some lemon and orange peal and this is a gin that’s bursting with flavour.
Always a Prime Day treat, Plymouth gin has earthy notes that are cut through with a hint of lemon. Add to this a touch of cardamom and coriander to spice things up and what you have is a gin that’s just the tonic at this price.
There isn’t much more we can write about Tanqueray No. TEN Gin that hasn’t been written before. It’s one of the most refined gins around - the no. TEN variety adds in four more botanicals, including grapefruit, orange, lime and chamomile.
