Our shopping experts have found the best Amazon Spring Sale deals

Independent25-03-2025

Deal hunters: Amazon's Spring Sale 2025 has landed. The shopping event has become a staple over the past few years, with big discounts landing like clockwork every March.
Ever since 2022, Amazon has hosted a March deals event, and while it's changed names a few times – from Spring Deals to Spring Sale to Spring Deal Days (yes, it gets progressively more convoluted) – the discounts have remained a constant.
This year's sale is bigger than ever, taking place over seven days and including hundreds of thousands of deals across tech, beauty, home and more from big-ticket brands such as Shark, Adidas, Ninja, and Philips.
If you've got something on your wishlist, the rest of the IndyBest team and I are working round the clock to bring you the best Amazon Spring Sale deals in the 2025 event. Now is the time to snap up a bargain.
In the market for an air fryer? Don't miss this 25 per cent saving on a Ninja dual zone model. With two separate cooking drawers, you can cook different foods simultaneously with different programs and times, or sync them for simultaneous completion. Thanks to its 9.5l capacity, you can feed up to eight people, with each drawer fitting up to 1.4kg of fries or a 2kg chicken. The only drawback is that so far only this copper colourway is on sale. While the colour is a little different, it's still the same model that made Lauren's round-up, so you're in safe hands.
The newest generation of Amazon Fire TV stick is reduced by more than 40 per cent. It's a great way to cheaply upgrade your TV – with a Fire TV stick, you can stream countless films and series on Netflix and Prime Video, and all in crystal-clear 4K. You can even control the TV using your voice.
The best teeth whitening powder in our review, with results seen after just two weeks of use. More importantly, our tester didn't experience any issues around sensitivity. The process involves brushing the power onto the teeth before using regular toothpaste, which was found to be an easy process. This deal sees the tried and tested treatment reduced by 30 per cent.
This is the gold standard when it comes to robot vacuum cleaners. Eufy's X10 pro omni landed the top spot in tech writer Steve Hogarty 's review. He found it to be the 'most hands-off machine' he tried and noted its excellent mopping function which 'scrubs the floorboards, helping get rid of dried coffee stains', and the brand's 'best-in-class object avoidance tech' – and with £200 off, there's even more reason to hoover it up for yourself.
This handy AirTag alternative can help you keep track of your belongings but it can also trigger an SOS alert to your loved ones, if needed. When IndyBest tester Alistair reviewed the 2022 version of the gadget, he found the Tile 'quick and simple to set up', with the system being 'very effective at finding items misplaced around the home'. The Tile will work with iOS and Android, and now comes with 40 per cent off, thanks to Amazon's sale.
A staple in The Independent beauty team's makeup bag, one tube of Maybelline lash sensational is reportedly sold every seven seconds in the UK. Assistant shopping editor Sarah Jones found the product to live up to its lofty claims, remarking that, '[her] eyelashes instantly looked lengthened and lifted, and most impressively, stayed that way all day.'
You can save a huge 49 per cent on Amazon's small but mighty Echo pop smart speaker. I put it through its paces for an in-depth review last year, finding that it's a cute, no-nonsense smart directional speaker at a fair price. If your priority is sound quality, I'd suggest going for the Echo dot (was £54, now £44.99, Amazon.co.uk), but those on a budget should consider that you could get two Echo pops for the price of one Echo dot right now.
This CeraVe facial lotion is a bathroom cabinet must-have. Just ask beauty editor Lucy, who dubbed it the best SPF moisturiser for those with normal skin. She praised how 'it instantly absorbs into the skin for long-lasting moisture that's neither sticky nor shiny.' It has ceramides to keep skin – especially dryer, mature skin – hydrated and youthful looking, while niacinamide works to keep excess shine at bay. It now has a 40 per cent discount, which makes this lotion much more affordable.
Upgrade your vacuum with this 33 per cent saving on Shark's upright vacuum cleaner. The corded model is designed to handle various floor types and pet-related cleaning challenges, boasting LED headlights, anti-hair wrap technology. Unlike most upright vacuum cleaners, this is easy to use on stairs - you can lift the canister away from the body, turning the vacuum into a nimble handheld unit.
My favourite tried and tested power bank from Anker has 30 per cent off at Amazon. I was impressed by the huge battery capacity, managing to eek it out for a whole week-long trip.
Give your daily soundtrack an upgrade with these tried and tested wireless headphones. This pair from Sony was selected as the best buy in my review, thanks to their fantastic sound, excellent noise cancellation and intelligent features. They pause automatically when you take them off your ears, and if you cup the right ear, they turn down your music and switch off noise cancellation - perfectly for quickly listening to a train announcement.
When does the Amazon Spring Sale start?
Amazon's Spring Deal Days kicked off today (25 March) and will run right through to 11:59pm on Monday 31 March. That means you've got a full seven days of deal shopping.
What is the Amazon Spring Sale?
Amazon's Spring Sale is a seasonal shopping event that first launched in 2022, bringing discounts across tech, homeware, beauty and more. Much like Prime Day, the Spring Sale offers limited-time deals, but what's nice is that you don't need a Prime membership to take advantage of the offers.
While the sale has gone through a few name changes – from Spring Deals in 2022 to Spring Sale in 2023 and Spring Deal Days in 2024 – the concept remains the same: big discounts across all shopping categories.

'Digital photo frames are perfect for Father's Day - they're so good I got four'

Currently half price at Amazon, this is a gift that combines sentimentality and technology Father's Day is an opportunity to show the men in our lives how much they mean to us. And while whiskey, aftershave and grooming sets are all worthy gifts, they can sometimes feel a bit repetitive. Dor those looking for a gift a little outside of the usual suspects this June, I've got the perfect present idea. The Frameo 10.1 inch digital photo frame from Amazon, is the ultimate combination of thoughtful and practical. And the best part is that they're currently half price, making them cheaper than they were on Black Friday. And if you've left it last minute and happen to be a Prime member, next day delivery is free, too. Usually £99.98, the frames are currently reduced to £49.98, saving 50% on the RRP for the plain black frame. Those wanting something slightly more premium looking could opt for one of the wood effect frames for £69.98, but the sleek black version will fit in with most decor choices with ease. The frame is really easy to set up. After plugging it in, it walks you through the set up, which includes downloading the compatible free Frameo app, which is what the owner, and their family and friends can use to upload images to the frame. There are other similar apps available, for example Kodak has their own digital photo frame available at Argos for £79.99. Their version uses its own app, and has earned 14 reviews from shoppers, one of which wrote: 'Bought this as a christmas present for my parents and they love it, it's so nice to be able to share photos with them while I'm away from home.' Digital Photo Frame £99.98 £49.98 Amazon Buy here Product Description For a more premium option, the AURA Carver Mat 10.1 Inch Digital Photo Frame is £179 and uses Photo Match to share images. Personally, I've only ever used the Frameo app and find it really easy to navigate. So easy in fact, that when I gifted both sets of grandparents the frame, they were able to set it up themselves with no assistance. Once set up, the Frameo app allows unlimited user connections via a pin code, so each family member can send photos and videos to the frame from anywhere in the world. The frame has a large 32GB storage, which allows for approximately 60,000 photos. For context, I'm a content creator and serial photo taker and haven't quite hit that number on my camera roll in five years. It's ample for the average person. The quality of the photos is great, too, with a 1280x800 HD IPS screen with vibrant colours. It's also touchscreen, so you can browse through photos, delete pictures or videos, and pause the slideshow in seconds. Again, even the most tech-wary users can manage it. A few other standout features are that it can be freestanding or wall mounted, and auto rotates between portrait and landscape. Users can also choose how long each image stays on the screen, and can set it to turn on and off at certain times of the day. My nan recently told me hers comes on at around 5pm, and switches off when she heads to bed at 10pm. My grandparents loved their frames so much, I decided to get my mum one for Mother's Day this year and it was gratefully received. She loves how my brother, sister and I can send her photos of her kids, grandchildren, dogs, family days out, holidays and more. And for the security conscious, the Frameo app doesn't store or access your media either, ensuring it remains private - ideal for my sister-in-law who has her frame on her bedside displaying photos of her little boy. The Amazon frame has a 4.5 star rating based on more than 400 reviews, too. One said: 'This is the fourth Frameo picture frame I have purchased. They have all been excellent and I love the large screen on this model. The picture quality is outstanding. Everyone who sees it is captivated. I believe these offer good value for money. It is easy to use, has some useful features, and I appreciate the SD card slot which makes it easy to transfer images from my PC. I've never had a problem with the touch screen. The only downsides are: it takes a while to boot up; I would appreciate more options for display order, including the ability to remember where it left off when it goes to sleep (if you set a sleep interval); and the ability to display the file name or other selected metadata from the image.' Another said: 'This is my third Frameo digital frame. I bought the first one for myself and I was amazed by the quality of pictures and the product itself. The second one was a gift for my Dad and the third one a gift for my son's grandmother. Frame always comes in a very nice box, it looks already like a gift. The screen and photos look clear and bright. The Frameo app is quick and easy to use. I like the fact i can add photos and videos as well. Sleeping mode is a great advantage so you don't have to always turn it on and off. My family is more than happy that i can share with them live pictures in the app. We all admire modern design, I can also add that the wood style looks even more fancy than I expected. Overall I think its a great product and value for money.' While the Frameo app is free, there are some paid extras, which saw one shopper leave a three star review. They wrote: 'Brought this as a Xmas present, good clear picture, lots of settings, loses some stars as you can only transfer a few photos wirelessly at a time unless you pay for the premium software. Lots of storage built in! Finally the mains adapter could have been longer as if you're wall mounting it then it has to be fairly close to a mains plug.' For fathers in particular, this is a gift that combines family sentimentality and technology. I know my dad loves gadgets, and has often mentioned what a great gift mum's frame was, so for that reason, I think this is one of the best, most considerate and unexpectedly fabulous gifts you can get the father figure in your life this June.

Snap up the summer pizza oven from Ninja £299.99 £249.99 Ninja GET DEAL Product Description The Ninja Artisan Pizza Oven is currently on sale on Ninja - and it might be the summer purchase shoppers need. Shoppers have been praising the Ninja pizza oven as a "game-changer". One shopper said: "I absolutely love this pizza oven, it's a game changer, I will never be ordering takeout again, pizza in less than three minutes and tastes amazing. Easy to use and clean." Another shopper added: "Amazing product, we previously had a brick-built pizza oven and moved address, so wanted to give the Ninja Outdoor Pizza oven a try. We were not disappointed, we made homemade dough which was fine. I ordered some sourdough from a company, also pre-packed from a supermarket, and all worked well. "The sourdough pizza took just three minutes on the highest setting to cook, and the shop-bought took 4.5 minutes at 290 degrees. We also used the proving and bake options too. We have the air fryer so have not used the oven for that. Would highly recommend this product" The Ninja Artisan Pizza Oven can cook three pizzas in just 10 minutes (Image: Ninja ) However, shoppers should be warned about the size and cleaning the Ninja oven as some buyers claim it was difficult. One buyer said: "Cleaning the pizza stone isn't the easiest but that is the nature of not being able to use water to clean the stone and we have instead bought a brush online to clean the charred parts off." Article continues below They added: "The Ninja Artisan is not a small device, so the fact that it is weather-friendly and can be kept in the shed with the cover (bought separately) is fantastic. It means it doesn't take up kitchen cupboard space and, unlike other BBQs, doesn't just go rusty after a bit of time outside". Another happy consumer said: "The pizza oven is amazing! So easy to use and it cooks pizzas perfectly. It cooked 9' sourdough pizzas in 40 seconds and 9' normal dough bases in 2 minutes. We had a party and it was fun to use."

City dubbed 'Silicon Hills' sees college grads flock there for 'insane' deals including 2 months FREE rent

A Texas city with a booming tech industry has been dubbed the best place for young adults to move after college for its shockingly affordable rental options. Austin, the capital of the Lone Star State, is the ideal location to launch into post-graduate life for its astonishing income-to-rent ratio and significant number of available homes, according to The digital real estate marketplace crunched numbers from 318 US cities in the 50 largest metropolitan areas, each with populations of more than 75,000 people, to determine the top 10 rental markets for the up-and-coming demographic. Experts considered affordability for the 25 to 34 age group, number of open rentals, job opportunities in the area and occupation stability. Silicon Hills - a nickname the city earned for attracting business including Dell, IBM, Amazon, Google, Oracle and Apple - earned its spot at the top of that list. 'Austin has always been such a desirable destination for people to move to,' Brad Pauly, the founder of Pauly Presley Realty, told 'Heck, I moved here from Houston 30 years ago and I've never wanted to leave just because it's such a great city.' Every year, Pauly's firm rents out roughly 500 homes in the Austin Metropolitan area. Clients are generally in their 20s and 30s and come to the city for work, he said. 'Austin's always kind of been a 'younger town' because the workforce in tech is younger,' he explained. 'Some are looking for those four-bedroom affordable homes that you can get for around 2,200 bucks a month. And then all the way to your downtown high-rise dwellers, who are just looking for a penthouse in the sky.' He said the Central Texas hub has always been uniquely tailored to a freshly-graduated age group, as there are a variety of outdoor recreational options and a bustling 'party scene'. 'And of course, another thing that a lot of people love about this town is the affordability factor,' he explained. Austin's median rent price is $1,450 per month, $249 less than the national average of $1,699, reported. Earning an average annual income of $95,475 - 15.6 percent higher than the average across the top 50 metropolitan areas - residents can afford a median rent of $2,560. However, the average rent is only $1,470, meaning the city has the lowest rent-to-income ratio on the list. This ratio reflects the portion of someone's income that must go towards rent each month. Austin's is only 18.9 percent, meaning less than a quarter of people's incomes are contributing the their living accommodations, giving residents more freedom with their wages. The average across the top 50 metros is 24.9 percent. Every city that made it to the top 10 places for recent graduates - including Raleigh, North Carolina and Minneapolis, Minnesota - had lower ratios than this average. But what sets Austin apart is its significantly higher vacancy rate than any other city named by Also regarded as the 'Live Music Capital of the World,' 29.4 percent of rentals are available. 'That percentage, I imagine, is going to go up as more and more apartment complexes become available,' Pauly explained, pointing to a housing situation created by the pandemic. During COVID, the Austin area was essentially grid locked in terms of real estate and had 'almost negative inventory', he said. People swarmed Austin from across the country as it was an affordable place to live and had less strict protocols than other places in the US. 'All the occupancy rates for apartment complexes in 2021, 2022 were 99 percent,' the realtor added. 'Austin had almost no inventory in terms of leasing or properties to buy, which is one of the reasons the market appreciated so fast here in such a short amount of time. 'And so at the time it was, 'oh, we need housing, right?' So I can't tell you how many developers started building homes, developing complexes, which are still coming along today.' Developers went into overdrive - and luxurious apartment complexes started popping up throughout the city and nearby areas. Residents also started selling their homes and dropping their leases as COVID eased up, suddenly creating a wide-open housing market. More rental options became available in the capital and its surrounding cities, but less people started moving in, Pauly said. In 2020, roughly 48,800 people from other states moved to the Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area, according to the Austin Chamber of Commerce. But in 2024, under 14,000 people ventured into the city. In fact, Austin was among the top five US cities that people were fleeing from just last year, according to a PODS survey. There was improvement this year, as it was in the top 20 cities with the highest move out rates. Although data shows Austin is a favorable place to rent, it is not an ideal market for prospective home buyers. 'It's mainly due to the higher interest rates. So the Austin sales market is slow right now,' Pauly explained. 'But all that's going to take for that to change is for mortgage rates to come down even a half point. 'You can get some great deals now in Austin. In a lot of ways, it's more cost-effective to rent than buy right now in Austin - especially in apartment complexes.' The Howard apartments is incentivizing renters with two and a half free months of rent. Located in Manor, just about 15 minutes away from Austin, a 575-sqaure-foot one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is listed at about $1,300 per month. In comparison, renters should expect to pay anywhere from $3,234 to $6,781 for a similar apartment in Manhattan, according to The Lakes apartment complex in Austin is also offering a rent break to lure people in - six weeks of free rent, according to its website. The Prado in Dell Valle, just about 15 minutes away from Austin, is offering 8 weeks without pay. 'It's these lease-up deals. They try as hard as they can to lease up their properties as quickly as they can without reducing the actual effective lease rate by giving free months of rent,' Pauly summarized. But he is not sure how long these sweet deals will last. 'That's the million-dollar question. It really is, because there's still people moving to Austin, even though we had a net loss of residents last year,' he explained.
