The first thing you need to know about me is that I'm pretty lazy.
Okay, not lazy, so much as the idea of standing in a store trying to figure out what to buy for my child — or as a present for someone else’s child — is not my idea of a fun time.
Ever since my daughter was born three years ago, I've become obsessed with buying everything on Amazon.
I'm talking practical things like nappies and baby wipes, but there are also some really affordable kids' toys that my daughter plays with every day.

There are usually good discounts to be found, and the items arrive the next day, which is very handy for the times when you’re stuck at home with a sick toddler who needs entertaining (which happens often — shout out to daycare germs!).
With Amazon's Prime Day running from July 16-21, I thought I’d turn my shopping addiction into a public service, and share the items I’ve bought that were actually worth the money.
(Disclaimer: to take advantage of Prime Day discounts, you need an Amazon account. You can sign up to a 30-day free trial here).
