Alright, so here’s the deal. My place looks like Santa’s workshop exploded. Seriously, boxes are everywhere; it’s a legitimate obstacle course. The dog? Yeah, he’s now in turbo-bark mode — every time there’s a knock, it’s like the barking Olympics.
But. Surprise! No fancy gadgets here. No PS5s, no shiny laptops. Instead, I’ve been busy assembling a freaking stroller, attempting to attach car seats (which, honestly, is like solving a Rubik’s Cube), and figuring out a baby carrier that looks like it could double as a parachute. Why? My wife and I — we’ve got a tiny human on the way.
Talk about a rollercoaster. We’ve gone paint-crazy in the nursery, cruised the stroller aisle like pros, and laid down new carpet. All while making zero tech splurges on myself — oh, the irony of Prime Day when you’re adulting like this. I’m drooling over deals, yet resisting. Super fun.
But hey, maybe you’re not knee-deep in baby prep. If your wallet can handle both rocking chairs and gaming chairs, here’s some killer Prime Day buys.
Xbox Series S
Alright, nostalgia alert — College Football 26 has landed. Jealous much? Yep, friends are diving in, and I’m just here on the sidelines. Xbox Play Anywhere, though, is a life-saver. But would I grab a console for just this? Eh, maybe not.
Surface Pro 12-inch
Now, if ever there was a tablet that wanted to crash Apple’s iPad party, it’s this one. Small but mighty — the stylus setup is slick, and attach a keyboard, and boom, instant laptop. Handy, right?
Lenovo Legion Go
This one? Might just tempt me enough to break my non-buying streak. Gaming on the go when your life becomes a whirlwind sounds like pure genius. Friends say fatherhood turns your schedule inside out — mobile gaming seems perfect for those unpredictable moments.
Xbox Wireless Controller + Fire TV Stick 4K + Game Pass Ultimate
Bundle alert! For not much more than a Fire TV Stick 4K costs usually, you get the lot. Perfect for traveling (or hiding from the chaos in different rooms).
Honestly, though, as fun as these tech toys are, I’m kind of psyched about my new dad adventures. Practiced unfolding the stroller — cup holder included is a win! And every time I see the baby scan, it hits me how epic this is going to be. But, you know, sleepless nights are coming, so I’m soaking in the excitement while I can.
Anyway — if tech and bargains are more your speed right now, these deals are waiting!
