Amazon
Although the online retailer is known for having shoppable deals throughout the year, it doesn’t mean that Amazon skips out on Memorial Day.
This year, Amazon is offering a plethora of deals, including on technology and electronics, homegoods, and clothing and accessories. Below, you can find some of the best deals happening this weekend.
Fire TV Stick 4K: $29.99, Amazon.co.uk
Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K is the perfect TV accessory, as it instantly transforms your TV into a smart TV. The Fire TV Stick provides access to more than 300,000 free movies and TV episodes from ad-supported streaming apps like Fire TV Channels, Amazon Freevee, Tubi, and Pluto TV, and allows users to easily download apps such as Max, Apple TV, Netflix, Hulu and Disney+.
The voice-activated Alexa remote also makes it easier than ever to find what you’re looking for - so you can spend more time watching your favorite movie and less time typing in the letters to find it.
This is the perfect accessory for the movie or TV lover.
Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper: $24.87, Amazon.com
It may seem like at-home salads don’t compare to the $18 ones you buy on your lunch break, but that’s just because you don’t have the right tools.
The key to the perfect salad is uniform bites, which is why the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, Eight Blade Vegetable Chopper is the answer to the quest for the perfect at-home salad.
The kitchen tool allows you to place vegetables, protein, fruit or really anything inside its lid, and then easily press down and chop into identical pieces, which all fall inside the attached container at the bottom.
Set of two Pickleball paddles: $18.99, Amazon.com
As Pickleball continues to reign supreme as the most popular sport among boomers, Gen X, and millennials, players should look to acquire their own set of gear.
This set of paddles is lightweight, durable, and includes an anti-slip sweat-absorbing grip, which is what you need when you are giving it your all on the pickleball courts.
In addition to an attractive carry case for the paddles, which are available in multiple colors, the set also comes with four pickleballs.
Nugget Countertop Ice Maker: $549, Amazon.com
Although on the pricier side, this large ice maker means you won’t have to fill your freezer with hundreds of ice trays - nor will you have to keep manually filling them up. This ice maker makes 1.6 pounds of ice per hour, which makes it perfect for parties, or just the hotter summer months.
The best part? You can use the SmartHQ app to monitor the progress of the ice, and schedule fresh ice.
