Memorial Day weekend is quickly approaching. And before the “unofficial” kickoff to summer begins, many of our favorite brands and retailers are rolling out deals on bestselling products we know and love. The holiday is typically a good time to stock up on appliances, mattresses, bedding, and gardening supplies, according to experts in our Memorial Day shopping guide.
You can already find deals across many of these categories in addition to beauty and tech sales, including great discounts on iPads and Airpods, which we include in our list below. We’ll continue updating this list with new deals leading up to the holiday; keep in mind that stock and prices may change.

The best Memorial Day 2024 deals to shop nowAll of our recommendations are based on our previous coverage and reporting. We also included a handful of products we tried ourselves, including expert-recommended streaming devices and facial essences.
Apple iPad Air (5th Gen)
4.7-star average rating from 631 reviews on Walmart
Lowest price ever
Earlier this month, Apple released new iPads, which might be why 2022’s 5th Gen. model is at its lowest price ever right now. While it isn’t the newest model, it is still an excellent tablet, with fast performance, a bright screen, 10 hours of battery life, and stereo speakers on each side. It is also one of the easiest gadgets to travel with — it only weighs about a pound.
Bear Pro Hybrid Mattress
4.4-star average rating from 47 reviews on Bear
NBC Select SEO editor Nikki Brown was initially skeptical of this mattress but now, after years of using it, she says it’s immensely helpful for relieving body pressure. “When I go to bed after an afternoon or night workout, I feel way more refreshed the next morning than I have on other mattresses,” she says. It’s made with cooling gel memory foam that draws away body heat and makes the mattress more breathable, according to the brand.
Roku Streaming Stick 4K
4.7-star average rating from 74,807 reviews on Amazon
This Select-staff favorite streaming device is easy to use and compatible with all kinds of smart home devices. NBC Select editorial operations manager Shari Uyehara uses it to watch her favorite shows on apps like Netflix, Hulu, Peaco*ck, Max, Apple TV+ and Youtube. I have also used this at home, and find Roku to have the easiest installation and interface to navigate of all the streaming devices I’ve tried.
Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
4.5-star average rating from 87,148 reviews on Amazon
This dermatologist-recommended essence has snail mucin that adds moisture and a plumping effect to skin, according to our experts. It’s made with 96% snail secretion that’s free of sulfates or parabens, and is lightweight on the skin, according to the brand. “When I first started using this many years ago, I wanted it to clear my acne,” says NBC Select editorial director Lauren Swanson. “Now, I still use it but for hydration and fine lines. It’s goopy, but helps you get glass skin overnight.”
Blueair Blue 311i Max Air Purifier
4.5-star average rating from 9,697 reviews on Amazon
This quiet air purifier is one of the best for medium to large spaces — I have the 311i+ version, and it catches all sorts of dust and dander in my living room without so much as a peep of noise. It has a removable, machine washable outer fabric cover that catches larger clumps of dust and lint, too. You can control the purifier with your phone and the Blueair app, which also shows stats like indoor air quality and when you need to replace your filter.
Hydro Flask All Around Travel Tumbler
4.7-star average rating from 5,001 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
NBC Select associate updates editor Zoe Malin uses this water bottle daily at her desk and at workout classes. “It holds so much water and keeps it cool all day,” she says. “I love the squishy straw and how easily the top pops off when I need to refill it.” The tumbler is dishwasher safe and temperature-controlled for hot and cold drinks.
The Citizenry Stonewashed Linen Sheet Set
4.5-star average rating from 538 reviews on The Citizenry
This winner is our favorite linen bed sheet set because it’s soft, lightweight and cooling. “I’m a hot sleeper and these feel so light — I didn’t feel hot or sweaty once throughout the night,” says NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez. The sheets come with a matching linen bag for easy storage when you’re not using them.
Apple Airpods (2nd Gen)
4.7-star average rating from 614,990 reviews on Amazon
These AirPods are some of the most convenient earbuds for iPhone owners. They pair seamlessly with Apple devices and support voice controls using Siri. They are especially good for people who don’t like the feeling of earbuds stuffed in their ear canal — they have a semi-open fit with no rubber eartips attached. The buds and charging case together have over 24 hours of battery life, according to the brand.
