The absolute best Memorial Day sales: Shop 89+ actually good deals on mattresses, beauty, tech and more
Memorial Day is here, and many of our favorite brands and retailers are offering major deals sitewide. The holiday's typically a good time to save on home and kitchen appliances, mattresses and seasonal products, according to experts in our Memorial Day shopping guide. Experts also say that now might be a 'pivotal moment' to get discounts on your favorite items before shrinking inventory and impending tariffs increase prices.
I've reported on holiday and daily sales at NBC Select for years — below are some of the best deals I've found so far. I'll update this list with new deals, especially as prices and inventory change throughout the day.

The best Memorial Day 2025 deals to shop now
All of our recommendations are based on our previous coverage and reporting. We also included products we tried and tested ourselves, including expert-recommended products and NBC Select Award winners.
NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio loves EltaMD face sunscreen for sensitive skin because it's free of heavy moisturizers that can clog pores or flare her rosacea -prone skin. Pair it with a body sunscreen like the EltaMD UV Sport SPF, and you're ready for beach day.
This is Apple's most affordable iPad at the lowest price we've seen. I use my iPad for all things entertainment, mostly streaming (TV and movies), and for recipes and books. This model gets up to 10 hours of battery life, and has speakers on each side for a stereo audio feel.
You can get one year of Peacock Premium for $24.99, that's 68% off the usual $79.99 price. Peacock is a streaming service with some of our favorite classic sitcoms like 'The Office' and 'Parks and Recreation', newer original programming like 'Poker Face' and breakout movies like 'Wicked'. You can also watch select live sports as well as NBC and Bravo programming. This plan has ads, however.
These cute Lego Cherry Blossoms are a fun alternative to flowers, especially if you aren't exactly known for your green thumb. The set has two buildable cherry blossom twigs that are a little over 14 inches long, each with pink and white buds.
This NBC Select Bed & Bath Award winner is our top pick for hot sleepers, and with summer right around the corner, it might be a good time to pick up a set. They are made from 100% long-staple cotton and come in sizes ranging from twin to California King. A set includes a top sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases.
This is one of our favorite air purifiers for small spaces. NBC Select commerce editor Lindsay Schneider received this unit from the brand and it's been the clear favorite of all the air purifiers she's tested. One great feature is the built-in light — it changes color depending on the air quality detected in your space, and it can act as a warm-colored night light. The filters last a full year before needing replacement.
I purchased this mattress on sale during Memorial Day 2023, and it's the most comfortable mattress I've ever owned. It's a hybrid mattress with six distinct layers, including a breathable top foam layer and supportive wrapped spring layer towards the bottom. It's firm, plush, supportive and quiet.
Levoit is better known for its air purifiers, but this cordless vacuum from the brand checks a lot of boxes and is on sale for less than $150. It's super lightweight at 3.2 pounds, easy to convert into a smaller handheld vacuum, and has headlights on the main cleaning brush to better see dust and debris. It also gets up to 50 minutes of run time, longer than most other vacuums at this price.
Don't let the 7% off Amazon tag fool you, this is the lowest price we've ever seen for the LG C4, one of the best TVs you can buy. This 65-inch version originally launched in 2024 for $2,699.99 — you can grab it today for almost half that price. I always recommend buying last year's TVs, like this one, as you can get a much better deal than buying current models (the 2025 65-inch LG C5, for example, costs more than $2,000 right now).
Lifestraw makes some of our favorite water pitchers, but they're best known for on the go filtration like this Go Series water bottle. The membrane microfilter protects from contaminants like bacteria, parasites, microplastics, sand and dirt, and lasts for about 1,000 gallons of water, or about five years of daily use, according to the brand.
If you're looking to run your first race or build a consistent running routine, this is the best fitness tracker you can get. It has a ton of fitness and training features like daily exercise recommendations, race coaching plans, daily energy score and advanced running statistics. Plus, I averaged 10 days of use before needing to recharge it. You can learn more in my Garmin Forerunner 165 review.
Brands are increasing prices due to tariffs, and one big category we're seeing price hikes in is baby gear. Thule has not announced price increases at this time — instead, we're seeing up to 25% off sitewide, including on popular items like this Thule Spring stroller. It's the most lightweight and compact stroller from the brand, with a three-wheel design that takes up less spaces when folded.
This electric pellet grill uses wood pellets instead of gas or charcoal to create heat, and infuses a smoky, woody flavor to food. It has a large main cooking area plus an extra grill rack toward the back to keep cooked food warm (but not overcooked). It also has a small screen and dial that lets you adjust the temperature of the grill and view the temperature of the built-in food probe. The larger Traeger Pro 34 is also on sale, but is currently out of stock.
The AirPods Max are the nicest (and priciest) Apple headphones you can buy, which is why any discount is worth highlighting. NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez has used her pair for more than two years — they're the best headphones she's ever owned, with excellent sound quality and noise cancelling features, plus a class-leading transparency mode.

Deal of the Day: Apple's iPad Air (M3) is back at its lowest price ever
While I mostly use my iPad for relaxing and watching shows and videos on the couch, others use it as a total laptop replacement — NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin carried an iPad Pro, Apple Magic keyboard case and Apple Pencil to class back in her college days. The latest iPad Air (M3) is the swiss army knife of iPads — lightweight and easy to use, but powerful enough to tackle professional and creative tasks usually reserved for laptops. It's currently $100 off, matching its lowest price to date. Apple iPad Air (M3) deal Compared to the iPad (A16), the iPad Air (M3) has the much more powerful M3 chip inside, which has faster and smoother performance, especially in graphically demanding apps. It also has an anti-reflective, laminated screen with increased color depth and contrast. The iPad Air (M3) is also one of the cheapest models that's compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, making it a good fit for artists and creatives. The Apple Pencil Pro acts much more like a real pencil than other models — it has extra tools like double-tap and squeeze shortcuts, plus it's pressure sensitive and supports rolling to change the orientation of shaped pens and brushes. Like other iPads, the iPad Air (M3) weighs about a pound and gets up to 10 hours of battery life. If an 11-inches screen sounds too small to you, the larger 13-inch iPad Air (M3) is also back at its lowest price ever right now. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a reporter at NBC Select who covers technology and fitness including recent stories on smartwatches, running shoes, cameras and more. For this piece, I checked Apple iPad Air (M3) prices and price history across multiple retailers to find the best deal.

Apple iPad Pro on sale for just £129 in Wowcher deal down £170
Apple, renowned for its high-quality products and innovative features, offers a broad spectrum of devices including smartphones, laptops, and smart watches for tech enthusiasts to savour. Among the tech giant's most sought-after gadgets is the iPad. Perfect for binge-watching your favourite series on the move, these handy devices also allow users to complete their work without lugging around a hefty laptop. However, these devices do carry a substantial price tag, with even the simplest modern iPad starting at over £300. If this exceeds your budget but you're keen on acquiring an Apple device, it's recommended to consider some older models. Wowcher currently boasts a smashing deal on a refurbished 10.5-inch iPad Pro. Slashed from £299.99 down to £129, shoppers will save £170 on their purchase. However, it's worth noting that this device is the model launched in 2017, reports the Daily Record. Fitted with the A10X Fusion chip, the device is still capable of executing most of the basic tasks shoppers would expect a tablet to perform, despite the chip's age. This iPad Pro even retains the old Apple design which incorporates a home button. Moreover, with 64GB of storage, this device provides ample space to store all the essential apps, photos and videos. It should also be noted that this 2017 iPad no longer receives updates from Apple, leaving it on iOS 17. Consequently, users won't receive any new security updates, potentially making their stored data more vulnerable than on a newer model. Moreover, as this is a refurbished device, it has had previous owners and has been professionally restored to its original state. This suggests that while there might be some slight cosmetic wear, the tablet is expected to function just as it did when brand new. For those shoppers looking for a more recent Apple device, Amazon has cut the price of the iPad 11-inch slightly. Usually retailing at £329, it is currently available for £309.97. Equipped with the blazing-fast A16 chip, buyers will be treated to a Liquid Retina display and a generous 128GB capacity. On the other hand, if someone is interested in exploring an Android option, Argos is offering a deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9. Typically sold for £189, customers can get a 20% discount using the code RED20 at the checkout, bringing the price down to £151.20. Despite a smaller eight-inch display, the device still boasts 128GB of storage. Returning to the Wowcher promotion, INCTABLET brings the iPad Pro offer to the table and prides itself on a commendable 4.4-star TrustPilot rating. A satisfied customer reported: "Amazing staff and customer service. I had an issue with my iPad and it was resolved in 48 hours. That included the return of the iPad and a replacement arriving back to me." Another shopper also commended: "Just bought a used Apple iPad Pro from these guys, and what a great experience. Super competitive price, next-day despatch and the iPad was in pristine condition. Even came with a brand new charging cable. Can't praise them enough." Some reviewers left less positive three star reviews, with one stating: "When my iPad arrived on December 4th (a surprise gift for my son) the quality of the screen was unacceptable to me, as it had way too many scratches which I was not expecting. "However when I complained to the company IncTablet, they responded quickly that very same day and have apologised, offering to replace the iPad for a better one." A second three-star review says: "I ordered an iPad off Wowcher from this company over two weeks ago and I've only just heard back. I'm hoping it will be delivered by end of week, quite a quick email back to try resolve the issue." Despite this, another delighted shopper wrote: "Absolutely amazing products at amazing prices. I purchased an apple iPad Air 3 from these and it was in immaculate condition, very easy to purchase and very quick delivery too. I would definitely purchase from these again." For those who want to buy the iPad Pro in the Wowcher deal, click here.

Stanley's viral tumbler is 40% off — its lowest price ever right now
Keeping a reusable water bottle (that you actually like and sip from) on hand is one of the best ways to get your daily water intake high. And when those scorching hot days roll around, you may want a bottle that's particularly known for keeping water cold and refreshing. Enter: Stanley's viral Quencher Tumbler — the uber popular reusable water bottle, known for keeping drinks cold for hours, is currently 40% off on Amazon, which also happens to be its lowest price ever. Both the 30- and 40-ounce tumblers are almost half off so it's the perfect time to cash in on the trend. The Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler, often referred to as just 'a Stanley ' has double-wall insulation properties and a stainless steel, BPA-free interior that helps keep drinks like water ice cold for up to 11 hours, according to the brand. I've tried out the Stanley myself and I often put ice water in it before going to bed and wake up to ice cubes in almost full form in the morning. Plus, I love that the bottom of the bottle is compatible with many cup holders, including the ones on the treadmill at my gym. The tumbler, which is available in a 30-ounce handled version, is available in a long list of colors and designs, including many limited-edition and themed ones. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a commerce editor at NBC Select, where I write about deals and sale events on reusable water bottles and other everyday accessories and small home appliances. I found this deal by look across retailers and brands online.
