Amazon 12 days of deals 2017: Day 8 – music lovers, avid readers and film buffs

Just like last year, Amazon is once again doing their Amazon’s 12 days of deals promotion.  In preparation for Christmas, they are offering 12 different themed deals each day.

Even though I’m annoyed that they are going “backwards” IMO, there are some pretty good deals available.  Today is Day 8, and it is for “home chefs and sugar plum bakers”, with deals for music lovers, avid readers and film buffs and more.  You can check out all the deals on the main Amazon 12 days of deals page, but even though that is the main focus, there are still lots of deals on other things

A few of the Amazon 12 Days of Deals deals that I saw include:

• Up to 40% off Star Trek complete box sets
• Nebula Mars Portable Cinema, Home Theater regularly $799 now $498
• 30% off Star Wars toys and games including 91% off this R2D2 app-enabled droid regularly $179.99 now $91

Amazon has also put their Kindle brand items BACK on sale – this runs through 12/24 though of course you’ll need to order before that to get it shipped to you before Christmas.  These are similar prices to what they had back on Cyber Monday
