We know—we’re not ready for summer to end either, but at least you can self-soothe with the best Labor Day sales on Amazon. Traditionally, retailers use the Labor Day Weekend to clear out their summer wares before the fall refresh. So, while you wait in traffic to get to your weekend destination, drop into Primeland to score savings from some of our favorite brands, including Dyson, Sonos, Samsung, and Apple. Amazon even has those classic Labor Day steals on items like mattresses and furniture, so if you need a new bed or office chair, you can find plenty on sale through Monday.
This will be the last big Amazon sale until Prime Day part duex, which typically lands sometime in the middle of October. For now, we’ve scoured the virtual shelves to find the biggest price drops on gadgets, smart home tech, furniture, home goods, and grooming gear.

T2N647 Weekender Watch
An easy watch, at an easier price.

Oral-B

Impress your dentist (and your next date) with whiter, cleaner teeth.
Cetaphil
Daily Facial Cleanser (Fragrance Free)
Cetaphil is a long-time GQ favorite, and this face wash was designed for folks with sensitive skin, oily, and combination skin types.It’s fragrance free, hypoallergenic, and as much as we love our bougie face cleansers, this basic formula gets the job done.
Cetaphil
Body Moisturizer (3-Pack)
Amazon ain’t Costco, but it can be useful for stocking up on items you know you’ll need. This Labor Day, snag a 3-pack of this popular moisturizer for sensitive skin. A combination of glycerin and Vitamins B3 and B5 keep sensitive skin hydrated for 48 hours.

You can use this body hair trimmer in the shower, so no one needs to know your carefully groomed chest hair isn’t 100% natural.

Leesa
Original Hybrid 11″ Mattress, Queen
Memory foam beds do have one big drawback—the material doesn’t provide the bounce that people look for when they’re in bed but not sleeping, if you know what we mean. (We’re talking about sex, obviously.) That may not be how Leesa advertises its luxury hybrid, but maybe it shoul be..
Tech

While the phone itself isn’t on sale, you’ll get a free $100 Amazon gift card with your purchase.
Kindle
Kindle 16GB
We don’t often see Kindle deals outside of Prime Day, so this is a rare chance to get the new Kindle for under $100. We’ve selected the ad-free version, which we recommend unless you want to see ads for tacky romance novels every time you put down your e-reader.
Apple
iPad Pro 11″ (M4)
It may not be a huge discount, but it might be enough to get you off the fence and into the best tablet in the world. With Apple’s new M4 chip and an Ultra Retina XDR Display, it easily outpaces most laptops. The screen and chip are so good some people are even using this tablet for video editing.

Apple
AirPods Max Headphones
Four years after their release, I still see people wearing these headphones as a fashion accessory here in NYC. Yes, we may be seeing a new AirPods Max as soon as October, but don’t expect the new cans to be available for under $400 for a long, long time.

If you’re set on a self-emptier, this Roomba at least has an attractive self-empty dock that doubles as a side table. What else does it have? A GQ Home Award.

Another recent GQ Home Award Winner, this is Dyson’s wet/dry cordless stick vacuum. Not only does it have Dyson’s signature laser-equipped vacuum head, but it can also handle stains with its mopping attachment.
Dyson
V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
If you don’t mind going back a few generations, you might be surprised by how affordable a Dyson stick vac can be. You lose out on the laser and some other new features, but you still get Dyson engineering and suction power.
