Let the birthday savings begin! Believe it or not, Alexa, with all her wit, charm and useful tidbits, has been a fixture in our lives for five whole years: Amazon’s voice assistant made its maiden voyage into our homes on November 6, 2014. To celebrate her upcoming birthday, the mega-retailer is hosting a whopper of a sale on tons of Alexa-enabled devices, with some dropping as low as $10.

For a limited time, you can save on everything from the ever-popular Echo Dot 3rd gen (once $39.99 and now $18.99 with an in stock date of Tuesday, December 1), to streaming devices galore.
One of the best discounts you’ll see from this sale comes in the form of the pint-sized Echo Flex, which drops from $24.99 to just $9.99 for a 60% discount.
