Labor Day weekend is not just a time for the final cookouts and beach outings of summer; it is also one of the most significant shopping holidays of the year. In 2025, top retailers like Amazon and Lowe's are set to offer steep discounts across a variety of categories, including home, fashion, technology, and beauty. Whether you’re in the market for refreshing your bedroom with a new mattress, upgrading your earbuds, or preparing for fall essentials, these Labor Day sales will provide some of the best prices you’ll encounter until Black Friday.
As someone who has covered deal events for NBC Select for over five years, I can confidently say that this weekend features discounts on high-ticket items like appliances and mattresses that rival those of the holiday season. I only highlight deals that offer at least 20% off and boast a 4.0-star or higher average rating. Below are the best sales currently happening.
One of the standout products this season is Apple’s latest AirPods 4, which feature shorter stems and a more sculpted bud for a secure fit. With options for active noise cancellation and transparency mode, these wireless earbuds last up to 30 hours with the charging case, making them perfect for everyday use.
For those looking to enhance their home entertainment, the Fire TV Stick 4K is a game changer. This device easily plugs into any HDMI port and provides access to movies, shows, music, and gaming. Its Alexa-enabled remote allows for effortless voice searches, making it convenient for everyone.
If hydration is on your mind, consider the 24-ounce stainless steel tumbler that I keep on my desk. It features a large handle for easy carrying and a silicone straw lid that is dishwasher-safe. Plus, it fits perfectly into car cupholders, making it an ideal water bottle for commuting or travel.
For those who prefer something lightweight, the Shokz open earbuds are an excellent choice. These earbuds sit outside your ear, allowing you to remain aware of your surroundings. Lauren Swanson, NBC Select’s editorial director, swears by them: “I’ve worn Shokz for every marathon that I’ve run, but they’ve also transitioned to be my everyday earbuds, too.”
Travelers will appreciate the memory foam travel pillow designed for neck support on the go. It molds to your jawline and features an adjustable strap, ensuring comfort during your journeys. Made from recycled materials, this pillow is both practical and eco-friendly.
Hair care enthusiasts should not miss the travel-sized pre-shampoo treatment that helps repair and strengthen damaged hair. Simply apply to damp hair for ten minutes before shampooing for optimal results.
