The best Memorial Day sales on Amazon: Shop discounted items from Apple, Anker, Casper and more
Prime Day may be the best time to shop on Amazon, but holidays like Memorial Day are no slouch either, with the retailer discounting dozens of our favorite brands including Apple and EltaMD. If you've been eyeing a new mattress, vacuum or other big ticket item, this is the time to save, according to experts in our Memorial Day shopping guide, especially with the possibility of tariff price increases looming. As a reporter for NBC Select, I've covered sale events like Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day and daily deals. Below are the best Memorial Day deals I found on Amazon — you don't need to be a Prime member to shop them. I'll update this list as prices and deals change. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. The best Amazon Memorial Day 2025 deals to shop now All of our recommendations are based on previous coverage and reporting, with a mix of editor favorite, brand bestsellers and expert-recommended picks. You don't need an Amazon Prime membership to shop the deals below. This drink mix is ideal for people who have never tried an electrolyte powder before because it has a less pronounced taste than other brands, in our experience. I use it after tough workouts and pack it with me when I go on long-distance bike rides. This pack comes with 32 single serving sticks in berry, lemon, orange and watermelon flavors. This isn't the lowest price we've seen for this portable charger, but is still a good deal for one of my favorite gadgets. I pack this power bank whenever I am going out — it saves me from the stress of having to worry about my phone dying on being stranded with my maps app. It has a 5.4-inch USB-C cable built-in to the battery itself, so you don't have to pack an extra cable with you to charge most devices. This is Apple's most affordable iPad, and is perfect for all things entertainment: think streaming TV, movies, reading recipes and playing games. This latest model has a slightly larger screen, a speaker on each side for a stereo feel, and up to 10 hours of battery life. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio loves this face sunscreen for sensitive skin because it's free of heavy moisturizers that can clog pores or flare her rosacea -prone skin. I've been pairing it with the EltaMD UV Sport SPF sunscreen for these early summer days — both feel protective, easy to blend and aren't too heavy on my skin. This is one of our favorite mattresses that ships in a box — it's made up of four foam layers that mix breathability, airflow, cushion and support. Godio uses a similar model from the brand, and loves that it strikes a middle ground between firm and soft, as her and her husband prefer different levels of mattress firmness. These are some of the best value over ear headphones I've ever tested, and as NBC Select's tech reporter, that's saying something. The design looks and feels surprisingly comfortable and stylish. Plus, they have a full set of features, including noise cancelling, transparency, wired connectivity, Bluetooth multipoint, and up to 65 hours of battery life. If you're looking for an even cheaper pair of over ear headphones, I recommend the Soundcore Life Q30, which are also on sale. This Lego set is at its lowest price ever, and encourages imagination and freeform play. It includes 35 different colored bricks of all kinds, including windows, toy eyes, tires, wheels and baseplates. It comes in a large plastic bin that doubles as a storage box. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin has used this air purifier for years to help combat her dust and allergen sensitivity, plus dander from her two cats and small dog. This model is fit for rooms up to 361 square feet, making it a great fit for apartments. The HEPA filter lasts a full 12 months before needing replacement, longer than many competitors. If you have an older TV that's running slowly or not loading smart TV apps anymore, you may be able to speed things up by plugging in a streaming device. This Amazon Fire TV Stick can download all your favorite streaming services and play content in 4K resolution. Plus, it can sync with your Amazon account to deliver notifications on things like Amazon deliveries.

Spanx Spring Sale: Get up to 70% off on activewear, apparel, shapewear and more
Just in time for outdoor workout season, Spanx has officially kicked off its Spring Sale. Right now, you can get up to 70% off some of the brand's bestselling activewear (including sports bras and leggings that our NBC Select staff use and love), matching sets and shapewear. Below, I rounded up a few of the best deals to shop during the Spanx sale. Keep in mind that only select colors of certain items may be on sale, and a lot of these items may sell out quickly, so be sure to shop while you still can. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. Best deals from the Spanx Spring sale Spanx AirEssentials Crewneck The brand sent me this lightweight sweater almost two years ago, and it's still one of my favorite lounge shirts to wear. It's made from a tencel, polyester and elastane blend that's soft and airy, which is great for someone who tends to easily overheat (like me). It's available in sizes XS-3X, and it's machine-washable on a cold, gentle cycle, according to the brand. Spanxshape Booty Boost ⅞ Leggings These leggings won an NBC Select Wellness Award and earned one of the top spots on our 50 best leggings roundup. They're compressive and supportive without feeling too tight, according to NBC Select editors. 'I love these leggings because I can put them on and not think about constantly adjusting them while working out,' says NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio also loves these leggings because they're extremely comfortable and have a very form-fitting shape. 'I'm such a fan of the fit of these leggings — they make any gym outfit look good,' she says. The leggings are made from a breathable, sweat-wicking nylon-elastane blend and designed to hit your leg right between the calf and ankle. Spanxshape Get Moving Longline Sports Bra Godio calls this 'the best sports bra ever' because of its fit and support. 'I've never worn a sports bra that makes me look as good as this one does. It's also one of the most comfortable ones I've ever worn,' she says. It has medium support, making it ideal for moderately intense workouts, and it's made from a breathable polyester blend, according to the brand. The fabric is designed to help wick away and absorb sweat, and has an under-bust elastic for added support and hold. The fabric also has UPF 50+ protection. Spanx AirEssentials Half-Zip Made from the same fabric as the Airessentials Crewneck, this half-zip is airy and breathable, plus has an oversized fit that makes it easy to layer, according to the brand. Its fine-knit design makes it incredibly soft, and you can get it embroidered by the brand for an added, personal touch Spanxshape Extraordinary Thong This thong has a seamless, shaping waistband that offers light compression for all-day wear, according to the brand. 'This is one of the most comfortable pieces of shapewear I own, plus it doesn't stretch out or become uncomfortable after hours of wearing it,' says Godio. It has a high-rise fit and has full coverage in the front. It's made from a stretchy and durable nylon, cotton and elastane blend. Spanx Airessentials Luxe Straight Leg Pant These pants have a structured design, but still have a relaxed, cozy fit, making them great for travel, going on walks or just lounging around the house. They have a fitted, flexible waistline and they're designed to be breathable and stretchy enough to wear for long periods of time, according to the brand. These pants are available in sizes ranging from XL to 3X with options for a petite, regular or tall inseam. Spanxshape Faux Leather Leggings These leggings are the perfect way to dress up while still staying comfortable. They're made from a soft faux leather fabric that has a medium compression and a high-waisted design. They're also machine-washable and highly-rated with a 4.2-star average rating from over 7,800 reviews at Spanx. However, these leggings run small, so the brand recommends sizing up. Spanx Airessentials Striped Track Pant You can wear these sporty pants on walks, while running errands and more. They have a fine-knit design that makes them soft and lightweight, and have a fitted torso with a stylish wide leg. The pants also have two hip pockets. They're available in sizes XS-3X, including options for petite, regular and tall inseams. More Spanx deals to shop now Why trust NBC Select?

Le Creuset sale: Save more than $100 on popular cast iron cookware
When it comes to reliable cookware, Le Creuset is one of the brands that instantly comes to mind. Known for its enameled cast iron cookware, the brand makes some of our favorite Dutch ovens, skillets, serving dishes and more. Plus, its cookware comes in a variety of vibrant colors, like the recently relaunched berry shade. Right now, you can find some of Le Creuset's top-rated products on sale for up to 40% off on the Le Creuset website, as well as at retailers like Williams Sonoma and Crate & Barrel. Below, I rounded up the best discounts worth knowing about. One thing to keep in mind as you shop: Stock and availability may change and not all colorways for individual products are on sale. Best Le Creuset deals Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven Great for making stews, this 8-quart Dutch oven is made with enameled cast iron that's dishwasher-safe, creates even heat distribution and resists chipping, according to the brand. The oval shape also makes it a great option for braising meats (it can fit a whole chicken or large cuts of beef, according to Le Creuset). I received this covered casserole dish when I got married nearly 10 years ago and I use it all the time to cook baked ziti, cinnamon rolls and chicken casseroles. The lid comes in handy if you're not serving your food right away — just pop it on to keep the contents warm. The interior is also non-stick, so washing it afterwards is a breeze, in my experience. Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Skinny Grill Place this cast iron grill pan over a single burner on your stove top to help you sear meats and veggies. The high ridges also create authentic looking grill marks, according to the brand. Baking lovers will appreciate this set of pie dishes. The stoneware ensures even heat distribution, while the fluted edges provide an easy-to-follow guide for crimping your crust. The glazed surface also means your dough won't stick as you cook it, according to the brand. Le Creuset 3-Quart Oval Baker This shallow baking dish is great for roasting veggies, browning meats or whipping up a cobbler. It's oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and has wide handles on either side to make it easy to get in and out of the oven. You can also place it in the dishwasher for easy clean up. Le Creuset Stoneware Mini Round Cocotte NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio uses these 8-inch cocottes to make mini souffles, French onion soup and mug brownies. The cocottes also make nice serving dishes for sauces or dressings, says Godio. They are safe to use in the microwave, oven or broiler and each one comes with its own lid, which helps food stay warm if you're not ready to serve right away. Le Creuset Salt & Pepper Mill Set This set includes a salt and pepper mill, each of which have adjustable grinder settings so you can customize how fine you want your spices. The set has a sleek, glossy finish, and you can take them apart and place them in the dishwasher. More Le Creuset deals to shop Why trust NBC Select?
