It was nice getting things so quickly, but the only real advantage was free shipping on those inexpensive gifts. I'd get Prime only if it was cheaper or if Amazon raised the minimum for free standard shipping.
Note: The $25 free shipping is "standard shipping". The Prime free shipping is 2-day shipping, and you can have 1-day shipping for a couple of bucks if you're in a hurry. For me, that 2 day was a critical difference. Even now that we are Canadians, we use Prime all the time to order stuff when we know we're going to be making a trip to the US in the next few days.
