When you're done having fun in the sun, be sure to grab these deals while you still can. (Amazon, Kate Spade, REI)
Happy Memorial Day! Whether you're celebrating with a backyard cookout or spending the day at the beach, you may want to sneak in a little shopping, cuz there are a ton of too-good-to-miss deals afoot. Of course, we at Yahoo Life have rounded up the best Memorial Day deals across the internet (and found tons of epic steals at Amazon alone), but this list is all about 10 of our fave buys for today. First up is an Apple iPad Mini — it's at its lowest price ever. If you need a new grill for upcoming summer BBQs, this portable Cuisinart option is just $22 right now. And if you just want to treat yourself, we found a handbag from Kate Spade for over 70% off and a pair of crowd-pleasing "unicorn" shorts for just $13 a pop. And that is, as they say, just for starters...
"I have quite a few long flights ahead of me, and this pocket-size Bluetooth transmitter will make it easy to watch movies on the seatback TV with my noise-canceling earbuds. That way I’ll be able to drown out loud talkers, crying babies and other inevitable plane noises and enjoy my in-flight entertainment in peace. I especially have my eye on the Pro since it lets two people — me and my travel buddy — pair headphones simultaneously."

Prefer a small tablet over a laptop? This one's on sale for its best price ever. Think this is just a slightly larger version of your phone? Think again. With a 3:2 aspect ratio compared to the iPhone's 2:1, the iPad mini is much wider and, for those who use their tablets to read, can fit more text and feels more like a book or magazine in your hand. Speaking of fitting in your hand, it's much less cumbersome than the full-size iPad, making it great for travel or slipping into a backpack for your commute.
True Kate Spade fans know this subtle logo print is almost as integral to the brand as its signature shade of kelly green. Made from faux leather, it's roomier than it looks and has a zippered closure and a slip pocket just right for your phone. Top handles and a crossbody strap give you options — and every girl needs options, right?
"I bought this bag for my daughter and she absolutely loved it! To be honest, it's now on my wishlist too," said one very generous mom. "It's a beautiful bag; even though it is a small size, it's more like a medium and the print is classy and elegant. It can be used as both an occasional or daily-use bag."
Keep things looking fresh on the go courtesy of this Oprah-approved fabric smoother. The Nori was featured on her 2022 Favorite Things list, where the Queen of All Media noted that "this gadget quickly presses both sides of a shirt, dress or pair of pants and reaches its highest temperature in three minutes," adding: "You can also use it to steam or refresh clothes." At less than 1.5 pounds, it's travel-friendly too.
Having carried my fair share of 60-plus-quart coolers uphill to a campsite, I beg of you: Do yourself a favor and get one with wheels. Trust me, it'll be worth the extra cash, especially considering this one is 95 bucks off.
This one was road-tested by Yahoo Commerce Editor Janelle Randazza, and she had this to say: "I'm crazy about this cooler. It's big enough to store everything we need for a campout or tailgate but small enough to fit in the trunk of our Prius. I can attest that everything will stay cool (from cans to hot dogs and anything else) for up to 48 hours."
Clocking in at just over four pounds, this little lightweight makes for effortless lugging. Bring it to the park or use it on your balcony — its small footprint will fit just about anywhere. That said, it'll still accommodate enough food for a small group, so be sure to pack it for your next tailgate. Even better, the fun red color is down to its best price of 2025.
Connect to two devices at once and easily swap between them — and rock out for up to 50 hours at a time.
Our readers can't get enough of these practical picks, raving about how comfortable they are for everything from puttering around the house to vacation (where those pockets will come in handy). The shorts are soft and durable, with a wide elastic waistband and a drawstring for a secure fit. One smitten shopper called them "unicorn shorts." Made with a cotton-poly blend, they come in black, light gray, charcoal and navy and sizes S-XXL. Now that they're as little as $13, I may grab them in every color.
