It’s been a year since the official launch of Amazon.sg, much to the delight of geeks on the island nation looking to beef up their toy collections or gaming battle stations.

One year on and things are still going strong for the e-commerce giant, especially since many folks in Singapore have ramped up their pursuit of the ultimate geek home with great deals on their favourite products and brands.

More good news is inbound for Singaporean shoppers as Amazon’s annual Prime Day is here in time for the year-end holidays, taking place on Oct 13 - 14. It will be a highly-anticipated 48-hour sale for Prime members looking to spruce up their homes with more toys, tech, and other geeky goodies.

Prime Day is Amazon’s very own sale day for members and this will be the first time Prime Day will be launching in Singapore since Amazon.sg’s launch in 2019, giving Singaporeans more ways to shop with Amazon.

And guess what — all it takes to participate in Prime Day is to be a Prime member for just $2.99/month, or with a 30-day free trial!

Apart from awesome deals on tech products, Prime Day will feature incredible savings and deep discounts on thousands of deals across every category and from local small and medium-sized businesses.

Finding deals has never been easier as from spotlight deals to lightning deals, Prime members will enjoy new deals launching every four to six hours.

To cater to the growing number of home shoppers, 10 new categories of products have been added on Amazon.sg this Prime Day, with over two million additional products added to categories like Pet Supplies, Jewelry, Furniture, Musical Instruments and more.

There’s something for everyone, at tantalising prices!

If you’re on the lookout for an early Christmas gift for your friends, family, or loved ones, you’re in luck. Amazon.sg is also launching e-Gift Cards this Prime Day that offer an easy, simple and convenient gifting experience, providing an extensive selection of products on Amazon.sg.

On Oct 13 and 14, Prime members who purchase at least $50 on Amazon.sg e-Gift Card in a single transaction can receive a bonus $10 Gift Card, while stocks last. Visit amazon.sg/egiftcardoffer for more details.
