After discount, prices start as low as $88. Keep in mind that there are a few 1080p sets included in the sale. I recommend sticking with 4K resolution as the price difference isn't all that great. The AirPods Pro 2 pack Apple's new H2 chip to provide 2x more noice cancellation than their predecessors. They also offer Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive audio experience. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said they take everything we loved about the original AirPods Pro to the next level. This newer model includes a USB-C charging case. The 2nd-Gen Apple Watch SE sports an S8 processor, Crash Detection capability, and watchOS 9. In our Apple Watch SE review, we called it the best Apple Watch value you'll find. Just note this sold for $149 back on Black Friday. The Apple Watch 10 boasts a thinner and lighter design, faster charging and a new sleep apnea detection feature. Some other new key features include 30% more screen area, rounded corners and a first-ever wide angle OLED display. The device also features advanced health insights, including the ability to take an ECG anytime. It's no longer Apple's flagship, but the MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and very good speed. I've got to recommend a TV when it's under $100, especially when it's 32-inch and comes from Walmart's very own Onn. range. It's a sturdy set with Roku Smart TV running the show., meaning you'll get access to a lot of streaming. So, if you're looking for a simple TV that'll let you watch your movies and shows in HD-quality, this one's at the breathtakingly cheap price of $88. If you want a new TV but don't want to overspend, the Hisense U8N Mini-LED TV offers an unbelievable price-to-performance ratio. In addition to its Mini-LED panel, it also offers beautiful contrast and colors as well as support for a 144Hz refresh rate, VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision Atmos, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. In our Hisense U8N review we said the Editor's Choice TV is one of the best mini-LED TVs you can buy. With over $1,500 off this 55" second-gen OLED, it's a ridiculously low price to experience a contrast-rich picture paired with cinematic audio. It also boasts Samsung's LaserSlim Design of only 4mm, virtually sinking into the wall. Plus the support of the Tizen OS for access to the top streaming apps. The C4 is LG's current flagship OLED TV. It's powered by LG's A9 processor and features a 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision/ HDR10/HLG support, built-in Amazon Alexa, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Apple AirPlay 2 support. It's also one of the few OLED TVs that can natively accept a 144Hz input from a PC. In our LG C4 OLED TV review, we said content looked colorful and dazzlingly bright on the new C4 series. It's the best version we've seen of the company's top-selling OLED TV range. Note: Amazon offers the same prices.48" for $1,09655" for $1,19665" for $1,49677" for $2,296 83" for $3,496 Light up your outdoor space at night with this set of string lights that are 100 feet long and include 50 bulbs. You'll want to spend all night under the stars with these lights that emit a soft white glow and will make a stylish statement hanging in your backyard or over your patio. This umbrella is the perfect addition to your backyard or patio. It provides optimal shade while adding some elegant style. The umbrella surface is UV-proof, waterproof and fade resistant so you can use it on both sunny and rainy days. Relax in this set of comfortable and adjustable lounge chairs that allow you to sit, recline and lie down. They are called "zero gravity" chairs because you can recline at different angles up to 170°. The chairs have a foldable and light weight design, making it very easy for you to carry them around and use in various places. Walmart is taking $140 off this folding Adirondack Chair, a durable piece of patio furniture that doesn't come cheap. But for just $99, this foldable, weather-proof design (it's constructed from high-density polyethylene lumber) is a steal. Reviewers rave these are easy to put together and are built to last for many summers to come. One buyer even notes it's "a very solid chair for the money!" This small outdoor conversation set is available for $130 off the regular price. Made of woven rattan, high-quality steel frames, and tempered glass table top, this adorable set will be the perfect spot to relax or enjoy a cocktail outdoors this spring. It also comes with seat cushions featuring an ergonomic design for extra comfort. Level up your outdoor events with an all-in-one cooler cart! Perfect for entertaining, its huge capacity can hold up to 50 bottles, 70 cans or all your favorite food and snacks. It also has four sturdy wheels that allow you to easily move the cooler or even take it on the go. Kick back in style and comfort with this outdoor wicker set that will match any theme or decor. Perfect for cozy spring nights by the fire pit, this set of rocking chairs feature a comfortable high-back design and plush cushions. The set also comes with a 2-tier coffee table. It will make a lovely addition to your porch or patio. The Keurig K-Express is your top choice if you're looking for a low-cost single-serve coffee maker, or a pop of color in your kitchen, as it's available in 6 colorways at Walmart. At just 6.5 inches wide, it's also compact and is ideal for small spaces. You can also brew one cup after another, without waiting for the water to reheat, which sits within the 36oz reserve. The Nutribullet PRO Blender is a serious bit of kit for your kitchen. Blending with a 900-watt motor and powerful stainless steel extractor blades means whipping up your morning smoothie or late-night milkshake is impressively simple. We called it the "reigning champ of affordable blenders" in our full review. If you're after a basic yet versatile air fryer, this is a great deal. With a 4-quart, basket capacity, it's sufficient to cook fit 2 pounds of fries. This comes with convenient functions such as air fry, roast, bake and broil. Plus, at such a low price this is a deal not to be missed! Get rid of the tiniest of unwanted particles and air contaminants with the Shark Clean Sense Air Purifier. Its anti-allergen HEPA filter is designed to tackle everything form smog and toxins to dust and dander, giving you healthier, purified indoor air quality. The Ninja Creami has been making waves (scoops?) in the home cook world. We gave it 4 stars in our Ninja Creami review. We loved how easy it was to make delicious homemade ice cream. There's a huge range of recipe styles available, such as milkshake, froyo, and even gelato! And as if it couldn't get any better — the Creami is also easy to clean. Leave your spring cleaning to your digital assistant. The Shark Matrix Robot Vacuum features precision home mapping, powerful suction that makes it great for households with pets, and hands-free cleaning thanks to its Alexa/Google Assistant support. The Shark FlexStyle Hair Styling System can be used as a powerful, no-heat-damage hair dryer or an ultra-versatile multi-styler letting you curl, volumize, smooth, or dry. It's often compared to the popular Dyson Airwrap, but it's currently less than half the price (and might even be the superior choice performance-wise). We recommend jumping on this deal! Sony's budget on-ear cans are inexpensive, but they bring the sound where it counts. They earned a 4.5-star rating in our Sony WH-CH520 review, thanks to their top-notch sound, intuitive controls, and lengthy battery life of 50 hours. 3 minutes of charge nets you 1.5 hours of use as well, if you run out and need a quick boost. Our JBL Go 4 review determined that this is the perfect portable Bluetooth speaker for those on a budget. Small enough to take traveling, it still packs enough performance to soundtrack small gatherings while bringing useful features like IP67 water and dust protection, and multi-point connectivity. It also comes in a variety of fun colors. A budget friendly option, these wireless headphones offer playback for up to 57 hours, and recharge in as little as 2 hours. They also have JBL Pure Bass sound. Although we haven't tested this model, they receive 4.5 out of 5 stars from Amazon customers for sound quality and value for money. The SRS-XE200 is an IP67 certified Bluetooth speaker that's waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof. It offers up to 16 hours of battery life and includes a built-in strap that makes it easy to take on the go. There's also a buit-in mic with echo cancelling technology. This is one the best bang for your buck party speakers on the market right now. Users reported that the speaker has thumping bass that doesn't distort even at loud volumes. This speaker has two 1/4" inputs at the reverse for a mic and a guitar, should you want to soundtrack the party on a more personal level. The XM5 are Sony's premium noise-cancelling headphones and our pick for the best headphones on the market. The large, over-ear cushions are incredibly comfortable and the active noise cancellation is excellent. Plus, despite ANC being a drain on battery life, these amazing headphones still give you up to 30 hours with ANC enabled. You can push that up to 40 hours of battery life with ANC turned off.

I try the BrewDog brewery tour in Ellon - is it worth £20?
I visited BrewDog DogTap this weekend – for what was probably the fiftieth time – but my first time inside the actual brewery. People either love or hate BrewDog, but there is no denying the bar and restaurant in Ellon is always busy. I've visited with my family for special occasions, catch-ups and spent God knows how much on beer and wings. But I have never done the brewery tour. Intrigued by the affordable £20 price tag for the 1.5 hour tour, I booked my dad and I in for the tour. A pre-Father's Day treat, if you will. As part of me expected, I'm the only woman on the tour. There's me, my dad and a group of men possibly there on a stag do. Our enthusiastic tour guide, Lisa, meets us at the upstairs bar at BrewDog DogTap in Ellon. We immediately get a taste of BrewDog beer while we get kitted out in goggles and high-vis. It's just gone 12, but it's five o'clock somewhere, right? Sadly as the designated driver, I'm limited to AF. But my first taste of the day, Lost AF, is always a hit with me. We head out of DogTap Ellon towards BrewDog HQ next. On our way Lisa – self-proclaimed historian and bartender – talks through some of BrewDog's history. She makes several references to BrewDog's beginnings in the Broch, stating the bar relocated to Ellon because 'Fraserburgh decided they didn't want us.' And that iconic colourful artwork on the side of the DogTap building? Lisa explains that it was done by an artist who was caught graffiti-ing on the old Fraserburgh bar. How punk. We arrive in BrewDog HQ, heading up a spiral staircase into the main offices of the Ellon team. This is a real peek behind the curtain. I didn't meet James Watt, but I did get a glimpse into his psyche. Though Lisa does admit that 'we [BrewDog] are no longer punk', souvenirs of the beer's rebellious and outrageous beginnings fill the place. There are photos of the 2012 protest when the team drove a BrewDog tank down Camden High Street. Other memorabilia draws into focus the success of what began as a small Aberdeenshire brewery run by two mates and their OG Brew Dog Bracken. Lining the walls are prints of each of the BrewDog bars across the world. These fill every inch of wall in a belt. It is impossible not to be impressed by the scale of something which started off in a 'tiny, derelict shed', and has since spread around the world. BrewDog opened 15 bars in 2015 alone. Key names of other locations opened over the years stick out to me: Paris, Budapest, Reykjavik, São Paulo, Stockholm. All the way fae the Broch. Suitably impressed – despite our fellow tour attendees talking over Lisa – we head into another room for our second tasting, and to learn more about the beer. I'm proud to say I name three of the four main elements in beer, teacher's pet that I am. My dad sneaks in there by naming the most obvious: water. There's also hops, malt and yeast. Now it's time for another beer sample. This time, it's Punk AF for me. My dad and the other drinkers enjoy a taste of the Hazy Jane Guava IPA. He isn't a sweet tooth, but is actually a big fan of this. The fruitiness isn't overpowering or sickly. The brewery tour continues with our progress into the brewery itself. Now it's time for us to don our goggles, and me to tie up my hair. Inside the brewery, we get a look at the mash tuns – yes, these play a part in whisky distillation and beer brewing. I've visited several breweries before for interviews, but it's interesting to see this on a tour perspective too. The bitesize explanations and handy infographics would make this comprehensible even for a total beer novice. It's also pretty cool to see the canning process on the go too. Watching cans flee along the line, then head out the door packaged on pallets. After this, we return our high-vis in exchange for a token we can redeem for a final beer at BrewDog DogTap. All in all, the BrewDog Brewery Tour was great. The chatty group was slightly distracting at points, but it provided a great insight into the north-east beer giants. It was fun to see the behind-the-scenes of the beer I've been enjoying for years, and learn about the history of the business while standing where employees do every day. My dad who has been drinking beer longer than I've been alive, said: 'It was enjoyable and informative, and great to see the brewing process from start to finish. 'What an achievement creating a huge global operation from humble beginnings with two men and a dog. 'It's nice to see an Aberdeenshire business thrive like that.' For me, it is well worth the £20 price tag.

Cetaphil Baby Launches ‘Have a Seat, Mom!': A Heartfelt Mother's Day Campaign Honouring the Woman Behind the Role
A Transition from Acting to ExistingMother's Day campaigns have honoured mothers' unwavering commitment and deeds for generations, from raising their families to handling innumerable duties. Cetaphil Baby India is taking a different approach this year. The brand is focusing on mothers by urging them to take a rare and much-needed break with its new campaign, "Have a Seat, Mom!" The message is straightforward but profound: 'Mom, take a break, celebrate yourself' The Main Takeaway: Mothers Seldom Honor ThemselvesMothers today take on many roles, including mentor, partner, caregiver, and professional. However, in the chaos of everyday life, they hardly ever have time to pause. An Activation with Two Facets: Online and On-GroundThe Cetaphil baby campaign is reaching out to Moms across India, a potent combination of experiential marketing and digital storytelling makes the campaign come to life. 1. A heart-warming Digital Campaign Launch Video: On Cetaphil Baby India's official Instagram page, a poignant video serves as the campaign's opening. It shows real mothers writing sincere letters to themselves in which they show strength, vulnerability, and pride. Participation of the Community: Mothers from all over India are encouraged to compose their own letters and post them on social media. These letters are more than just content; they are glimpses into a mother's heart that highlight her growth.

A Letter to Herself: Honouring the Inner WomanAs part of the experience, branded journaling kits and takeout cards are provided, giving the moment a tangible and unforgettable quality. The idea of journaling is to allow an in-depth self-reflection by asking mothers to write to themselves, either as their younger selves or as their current selves.

As a single parent, Mother's Day doesn't involve brunches and flowers. I'm dropping off my toddler with my mom for a day so I can rest.
As a single mom, Mother's Day has never looked quite as curated as the picture-perfect brunches and bouquets I see splashed across social media. Instead of a leisurely breakfast in bed, I'm more likely to be woken at 6 a.m. by the calls for "Mama!" from my adorably persistent alarm clock. Without a partner to make plans, I've had to find a new path to celebrate Mother's Day. The first Mother's Day was a blur My first Mother's Day was a blur of newborn snuggles and sleep deprivation. My daughter, Via, was one week old, and I was so madly in love with my tiny, wrinkled baby that every moment with her felt like a celebration. I had no plans beyond washing bottles and feeling her fist grip around my finger. Last Mother's Day, we were living in Bali and Mother's Day wasn't on the local calendar (they celebrate in December, instead), so it again passed without plans or special recognition. This year, however, feels different. Via is 3 years old; she's a whirlwind of curiosity, energy, and increasing independence. I'd love to do something meaningful on Mother's Day. Yet, the thought of orchestrating a traditional celebration — the kind that often involves a partner's thoughtful planning and execution — feels like adding another task onto my already overflowing plate. As a working single mom, the mental and emotional labor of planning, deciding, preparing, arranging, and managing is never-ending. Adding the pressure of creating a Pinterest-worthy Mother's Day feels less like a celebration and more like another "to-do." I'm dropping my toddler off with my mom for a day I considered not making any plans and letting the day once again pass without notice, but I also feel that this incredible journey of motherhood deserves special recognition. I decided to split the weekend into two parts. On the Friday before Mother's Day, I'm dropping Via off with my mom for a sleep-cation. Every time I catch up on rest, I feel like the best version of myself; the best gift I could give myself this Mother's Day is to show up for the day recharged. I booked a night at the nearby resort and a dinner reservation at an upscale Chinese restaurant I've wanted to try. I'm going to sleep in the next day and stay in bed for the better part of the morning before heading to brunch. Then, on the way home, I'm stopping for an ultra-relaxing massage. A nice dinner, a serene resort, sleeping in, and a visit to the spa — to me, this is the ultimate relaxing pre-Mother's Day respite. After recharging, I'll reconnect with my daughter and celebrate my own mom This year, my Mother's Day won't involve a fancy brunch I had to research, book, and then wrangle a toddler through. Even better will be the sweet reunion I always feel with my daughter after a night away; I breathe her in like oxygen, and she fills every cell of my body. These are my favorite, fleeting moments of motherhood — when I'm recharged enough to delight in her fully. Every so often, I'm overcome with awe as I watch my daughter. Time slows down as I capture every word and expression like a video. My adoration leaks out of my eyes in happy tears that I wipe away before she notices. Those glorious, intoxicating moments don't happen every day; they usually occur when I'm mentally and physically well-rested. This year, I've invested in giving myself the space and resources to do that, so that on Mother's Day, I can just spend the day enjoying the simple joys and ever-growing love I have for my daughter. And, of course, celebrate my mother. I've made her a photo book with some of our memories from the past year and, on Mother's Day, I'll help Via decorate a card to give her. I know these simple gestures don't fully demonstrate her importance to us, but she knows what I now understand: being a mom is the best gift. As a solo parent, I'm redefining celebration not as a grand event but as an acknowledgment of the extraordinary job and privilege that it is to be a mother. In that, I've found a Mother's Day that truly resonates.

Trump, Melania share tender moment at White House Mother's Day event: ‘She's almost too good'
WASHINGTON — President Trump showed his wife Melania some love with a European-style exchange of kisses Thursday as he turned over the lectern to her at a White House pre-Mother's Day celebration of military moms. 'I especially want to thank one of the best moms that I know, that I've ever seen. Sometimes she's almost too good,' Trump gushed at the East Room gathering. 'She is so good with [son] Barron, but he's grown up strong and nice, and he's a good boy. He's a good student. So I want to thank you. You've done a great job. Thank you — great first lady.' Advertisement 3 President Trump gve first lady Melania Trump a kiss on the cheek at a pre-Mother's Day event. REUTERS Trump added: 'It's my pleasure to introduce that very special woman that I talked about, our great first lady, and she's loved by all.' The president praised his spouse for her first-term role refreshing of the White House Rose Garden — which he intends to further alter later this month by adding pavers over its grassy lawn. Advertisement 'I just walked by the Rose Garden, and that is the most beautiful thing. We saw it yesterday,' he said. 3 Trump praised his wife's role raising their 19-year-old son Barron. AP 'You know, she took a lot of heat. She did it — it was so gorgeous, and they couldn't, these people couldn't do that if they tried. And those flowers were blooming … But you did some job. Thank you very much, honey. Come on up.' 3 The first lady is seldom seen around the White House. AP Advertisement In her own remarks, the first lady encouraged fellow mothers to 'prioritize your wellbeing [and] nurture yourself — for your strength is the bedrock of a brighter future for our children. 'By caring for ourselves, we empower the next generation to thrive,' she said. Melania Trump co-headlined the event one day after publication of a New York Times article which noted that she had spent fewer than 14 days at the White House out of the initial 108 of her husband's second term. The president and first lady frequently spend weekends at one of his properties, such as Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey, or — in Melania's case — Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan.
