Echo Dot smart speakers offer a range of handy features. You can play music, audiobooks, and podcasts from Amazon Music and other platforms, sync your phone up to it via Bluetooth, and use Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. The Dot also works with other types of smart home devices from both Amazon and other brands, and you can program it to control compatible devices with your voice. Essentially, the Echo Dot can be a smart home hub, and this limited-edition model is also a fitting decoration as we head into the holiday season.

There are quite a few early Prime Big Deal Days specials currently available if you're looking to upgrade your home. Some of the standout deals include a Fire HD eight-inch tablet for only $60 (normally $130), the Fire HD Kids tablet for younger kids (ages 3-7) for $95 (normally $180), and the Fire HD Kids Pro tablet for $90 (normally $150). If you're looking for a smart TV, you can save over $200 on the 55-inch Amazon Fire TV 4 and you'll get the Fire TV Soundbar bundled in with it.

The Jack Skellington Echo Dot isn't the only cool new Nightmare Before Christmas product. Lego recently released the first-ever Lego set inspired by Tim Burton's beloved film. A new edition of the official manga adaptation releases on Halloween, and you can preorder the paperback book now for only $16. A collector's edition version of Zero's Journey, an official Nightmare Before Christmas sequel, will be published on October 8 and is up for preorder for $50.
