The Labor Day shopping weekend is officially underway, offering shoppers discounts of up to 75% on fall fashion, back-to-school tech, bedding, and outdoor essentials. As CNET notes, the holiday weekend stands as one of the biggest shopping events of the year, right alongside Black Friday and Prime Day. With the holiday falling on Monday, September 7, retailers across the web have launched extensive sales events on popular brands including Apple, Patagonia, Hoka, and Kate Spade, according to Yahoo.
Labor Day Sales Bring Deep Discounts on Tech, Apparel, and Home Goods
Major shopping platforms and reviewers have combed through hundreds of offers to highlight the best deals available. Whether consumers are looking to stock up on outdoor gear, upgrade their home appliances, or purchase new electronics, the long weekend serves as a prime opportunity to secure markdowns before the arrival of autumn.
Apple Devices, TVs, and Tech Deals Lead the Electronics Markdown
Technology makes up a major portion of the holiday savings, with steep price cuts on popular gadgets and displays. Apple gear is seeing notable discounts, including a four-pack of Apple AirTags down to $80 from $99, alongside $100 off the Apple iPad Air 11-inch priced at $649. According to Mashable, the 13-inch M4 Apple iPad Air is also discounted by $100, bringing the starting price for the 128GB model to $749. Meanwhile, Wired highlights discounts on single Apple AirTag Bluetooth trackers and four-packs, as well as markdowns on Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones.
Television buyers can find historic price cuts on large-screen models. For instance, a 65-inch TV normally priced at $2,499.99 is marked down to a best-ever $1,397.99 at Amazon for Labor Day, reflecting a 44% discount. Additional savings span smart home devices, laptops, cameras, and two-in-one convertible computers featuring 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSDs.
Apparel and Outdoor Gear See Rare Price Drops
Outdoor enthusiasts and fashion shoppers can take advantage of significant markdowns on apparel staples. Patagonia’s Men’s Nano Puff Jacket is on sale for $160 down from $229. Deals editor and outdoor gear expert Chris McGraw praised the jacket, stating: The first time I threw on a Nano Puff jacket, I thought, ‘How the heck is this thing going to keep me warm?’ It’s way less puffy than down-insulated coats, but it managed to do the trick in the middle of the desert in the wintertime as temps dipped below freezing, all without making me look like the Michelin Man.
Other clothing and accessory markdowns include Hanes men’s hoodies for $8 instead of $27—a 70% discount—and Hoka Women’s Arahi 8 Sneakers marked down to $120 from $150. Kate Spade canvas large tote bags are seeing discounts of over 70%, dropping to $108 from $379. Retailers like Gap, Banana Republic, and The Cut also report deep price cuts on denim, wide-leg work pants, and silk dresses for fall events.
Home Appliances, Cleaning Gear, and Wellness Products
Home goods and kitchen appliances are heavily discounted for the holiday weekend. Shoppers can purchase the Ninja Flip Toaster Oven & Air Fryer for $150, saving $100 off its regular $250 price. The appliance features a design that flips up on its back to save countertop space while remaining roomy enough to accommodate a 12-inch frozen pizza.
Vacuum cleaners, wellness tools, and home decor are also featured heavily in the sales. Shoppers can find markdowns on Dyson vacuums, Shark Navigator Lift-Away vacuums with advanced swivel steering, and Therabody wellness devices like the Theragun Mini. Additionally, Ruggable is offering deals on washable rugs featuring collaborations with Jonathan Adler and Scalamandré, while Away is discounting its carry-ons and weekender bags by 20 percent.
