Summer is drawing to a close and about to go out with a firework-like bang, thanks to some truly excellent Labor Day sales. The last long weekend of the season is a great time to get in the mindset of—and gear up—for fall; refresh your bed with cozy flannel sheets, invest in a new pair of hiking boots for a leaf-peeping tour, or stock up on moisturizer for the dry, chilly days ahead. Right now, you can already shop some of the best Labor Day sales at retailers like Amazon, REI, Nordstrom, Target, Ulta, Tuft & Needle, Sur La Table, and more. We’ve rounded up the most noteworthy below—so take a look, and check back, as we’ll update this story through the holiday.

If you missed Prime Day, you’ve got another chance to save with Amazon’s Labor Day deals. Right now, you’ll find some nice discounts on high-quality cookware from Le Creuset, SELF Home Fitness Award–winning Bowflex adjustable dumbbells, cult-favorite Sunday Riley brightening oil, and more.
If you already drop at least $40 every time you go to Target (or visit its site), you might as well save a little. There are some excellent sales ahead of LDW on SELF Home Fitness Award–winning Powerbeats headphones (that are sweat-proof!), Asics running shoes, a powerful Ninja blender, and a collagen-rich night cream.
Though Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale has wrapped for the year (womp, womp), its sale section still boasts some worthwhile discounts on high-end lifestyle, bedding, beauty, home, and tech goods.
If you’re tinkering away on a circa-2012 laptop that constantly crashes or could use a pair of earbuds that muffle the chaos of the world, it might be time to upgrade your electronics. In that case, Best Buy’s electronic deals abound, including noise-canceling Sony headphones and a lightweight Apple iPad.
TBH, I didn’t expect to see a version of my SELF Fave Dyson V8 cordless vacuum on such markdown at Walmart, but here we are. This beauty is lightweight, powerful, and exactly what I need as the owner of two very furry cats—and it’s currently $100 off. Another stellar sale? An Apple Watch that typically costs $279 at $150.
Fitness Deals
Maybe to you, “outdoorsy” means scaling a mountain or hiking the Appalachian Trail—or perhaps it’s sitting back in a camp chair with a cold beer. However you define it, there are currently discounts up to 50% at REI on tents, backpacks, boots, water bottles, weekend bags, sleeping bags, and so on and so forth.
There are sales on pretty much everything fitness-related at Dick’s Sporting Goods at the moment. You can fully build out the home gym of your dreams with discounted equipment like rowing machines, ellipticals, and treadmills. Two more options we’re eyeing: These price drops on Hoka and On Cloud sneakers.
Sex Toy Deals
Our favorite mega sex-toy retailer is running a Hot Sellers sale right now, with up to 50% off its popular products. Why not elevate your solo or partner play with a Womanizer suction vibrator or an extremely discounted vibrating butt plug?
Speaking of stimulating savings…take up to 40% off Lelo’s luxe sex toys, like the Tiani Duo, a toy that can target the clit and G-spot for a dual orgasm.
Home & Kitchen Deals
Our Place makes SELF’s favorite all-in-one skillet and a fantastic air fryer—as well as a bunch of other high-quality, stylish kitchen goods (some of which are on sale now, like this sturdy walnut cutting board).
Sur La Table stocks all sorts of professional-level cookware, including Vitamix, All-Clad, and Zwilling. Markdowns of the moment: a smart garden that grows fresh herbs on your countertop and a set of chef-grade knives.
Mattress & Bedding Deals
Now through September 10, you can save up to 20% on a new T&N mattress (like the SELF Certified Mint, which our reviewer appreciated for its firmness, breathability, and how it contours to your body). Additionally, the brand is offering discounts on its bedding, pillows, and accessories.
Through mid-September, Serta is offering discounts on its various mattresses, including iComfortECO and Perfect Sleeper. If you tend to run warm while you sleep, consider the brand’s Arctic cooling mattress—now up to $1,000 off.
Few pleasures compare to slipping into a bed fitted with crisp, high-quality sheets. Cozy Earth is offering up to 25% off sitewide right now on its cozy bedding.
Beauty and Skin Care Deals
Boost your skin care routine (or start one) with some expert-approved moisturizers, SPFs, and serums from Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale. Use CHEER at checkout to save 25% on goodies from Sunday Riley, Augustinus Bader, Paula’s Choice, Ouidad, and more. This sale ends August 17, so be sure to shop ASAP.
Why, hello, Ulta. Look at you, sneaking into the sale game with some very good deals on beauty essentials like sunscreen, as well as skin care tools like the Foreo cleansing device.
