Labor Day is on Monday, Sept. 2 this year, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait until then to shop the deals. Retailers like Amazon, REI, Walmart and Target are already hosting Labor Day sales, allowing you to take advantage of discounts before the three-day holiday weekend starts.
I frequently cover sales like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Prime Day for NBC Select, so I know how to identify Labor Day deals that are actually worth buying. Below, I rounded up the best Labor Day sales to shop now. I’ll frequently update this list in the coming days to keep you updated.

Best Labor Day deals
Amazon Smart Plug
4.7-star average rating from 563,820 reviews on Amazon
Once you plug devices like lamps, fans and coffee machines into this smart plug, you can control them from your phone via a companion app. It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa voice commands. The smart plug is compact so it keeps your second outlet free.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen.)
4.7-star average rating from 5,191 reviews on Amazon
Apple’s AirPods Pro are some of our favorite noise-canceling wireless earbuds. They come with a charging case and four pairs of silicone ear tips, allowing you to customize their size. You can tap the earbuds’ stem to control the volume, pause and play music or end calls. And don’t worry about working out or getting caught in the rain while wearing them — the AirPods are dust-, sweat- and water-resistant. In addition to these AirPods, Apple’s AirPods (2nd. Gen.) and AiPods Max are currently on sale.
Grace & Stella Under Eye Mask
4.3-star average rating from 24,080 reviews on Amazon
I always keep a box of these under-eye masks in my bathroom and wear them once a day to reduce puffiness. They’re soaked in a serum made with hydrating hyaluronic acid and glycerin, as well as sea moss, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and amino acids, which can boost the skin’s moisture levels, according to the brand. The eye masks come in a box with 24 pairs, each of which are individually wrapped.
Casper Sleep Original Pillow
4.4-star average rating from 11,324 reviews on Amazon
Casper’s Original Pillow is an NBC Select Bed & Bath Award winner. It has a soft feel, comes with a machine-washable cotton cover and is stuffed with a polyester microfiber fill. You can purchase the pillow in standard and king sizes.
Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum
4.4-star average rating from 104,945 reviews on Amazon
This vacuum is one of our all-time favorite options, but it’s especially great for homes with pets. It has attachments that tackle pet hair, like upholstery and crevice tools. The vacuum has a HEPA filter that traps dirt and allergens and a detachable pod, making it easy to clean stairs, under furniture and in high spaces. The automatic brushroll also helps you switch between vacuuming carpets and bare floors.
Sony XB100 Portable Speaker
4.4-star average rating from 12,434 reviews on Amazon
Sony makes some of our favorite Bluetooth speakers, and if you’re looking for a mini one to take on the go, the brand’s XB100 model is a great option. It’s smaller than a soda can and has a built-in strap you can connect to bags, bicycles and even beach umbrellas. The rechargeable speaker offers 16 hours of battery life and is dust- and water-resistant.
Best Labor Day mattress and bedding deals
Kitsch Satin Pillowcase
4.7-star average rating 23,278 reviews on Amazon
Sleeping on a satin pillowcase like this one can help reduce breakouts, tame frizzy hair, prevent sleep lines and keep you cool overnight, according to the brand. I own at least six of Kitsch’s machine-washable satin pillowcases, which feel soft and smooth against my skin. They also stay on my pillows no matter how much I toss and turn thanks to the zipper closure. The pillowcase fits standard pillows and is available in over a dozen colors.
Brooklinen Classic Percale Core Sheet Set
4.4-star average rating from 18,058 reviews on Amazon
Brooklinen makes some of our favorite sheets, including this set made from 100% long-staple cotton. They have a crisp, cool feel with a matte finish, and get softer over time as you wash them, in my experience. The set, which won an NBC Select Bed & Bath Award, comes with a top sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases. You can purchase it in 11 colors like white, cream and Storm (blue), plus five seasonal styles.
Best Labor Day home deals
Dewalt 20V Max Cordless Drill/Driver Kit
4.8-star average rating from 44,331 reviews on Amazon
Having an electric drill at home can make doing DIY projects much easier. Dewalt’s is a lightweight, compact model that fits into small spaces, and it comes with two rechargeable batteries, a charger and a storage bag. The drill has a ½-inch ratcheting chuck.
Best Labor Day kitchen deals
Keurig K-Mini Single-Serve Coffee Maker
4.5-star average rating from 100,067 reviews on Amazon
If you have a small kitchen, this single-serve coffee maker is one of the best options. It’s less than five inches wide and can fit on your countertop without taking up too much space. The appliance has a small reservoir, so you have to refill it every time you brew a six to 12-ounce cup of coffee. The machine fits standard and travel mugs underneath its spout since it has a removable drip tray.
Cosori 5-Quart Air Fryer
4.7-star average rating from 27,401 reviews on Amazon
While you can manually control the cooking time and temperature settings on Cosori’s air fryer, the appliance has nine preset programs, including frozen, veggies, chicken and fries. It also has keep warm, preheat and shake reminder programs. The air fryer’s five-quart capacity typically allows you to make enough food for two or three people, according to the brand.

Tushy Fresh Bidet
4.5-star average rating from 360 reviews on Amazon
You can attach this bidet to most toilets in less than 10 minutes, according to the brand. It has an automatic, self-cleaning nozzle and a water pressure control knob. The bidet does not require electricity to work.
Solawave 4-in-1 Skincare Wand
4.5-star average rating from 428 reviews at Solawave
Solawave’s 4-in-1 Skincare Wand is a handheld red light therapy device that can help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, blemishes and dark spots, according to the brand. After you apply a serum, you glide the wand’s warm head over your skin, giving your face a gentle massage. Solawave recommends using the wand for three minutes per area you’re targeting.
Best Labor Day tech deals
Amazon Echo Dot
4.6-star average rating from 122,006 reviews on Amazon
The Echo Dot is a mini speaker that functions as an Alexa-enabled smart home hub.

4.6-star average rating from 205,939 reviews on Amazon
See, hear and speak to visitors with Ring’s Video Doorbell, which livestreams footage to your phone via a companion app. The app also sends you notifications when the doorbell detects motion, and you can pair the device with any Alexa-enabled smart home products. You can power the Ring Video Doorbell using the built-in rechargeable battery or connect it to your home’s existing doorbell wires.
