Memorial Day isn’t until May 26, but sales on our favorite gear have already started.Courtesy of AMazonI've been covering deals since 2013, and I still think Memorial Day sales are worth checking out. There are so many made-up shopping holidays these days that it can be difficult to ascertain when items are actually cheaper than usual. Now is one of those times. To help you out, I've scoured through our buying guides full of hand-tested items to find gadgets and gizmos that are discounted—and worth buying. If you're in the market for something we've tested, keep checking in through May 26 to see if you can snag a deal. We'll update this post a few times between now and then.Make sure to check out our various buying guides for recommendations on the best laptops, the best printers, and more.WIRED Featured Deals:The best smart bird feeder: Birdfy Lite Smart Bird Feeder (Lifetime AI, No Solar) for $130 ($100 off)A camera bag we love: Wandrd Prvke (V4, Bundle) for $275 ($69 off)Birdfy Lite Smart Bird Feeder (Lifetime AI, No Solar) for $130 ($100 off)Photograph: Kat MerckVideo: Kat MerckNetvueBirdfy Lite Smart Bird FeederA few different combinations of our favorite smart bird feeder are on sale. You can choose a version with or without solar charging. There's also the option of buying a model that comes with lifetime AI bird identification; otherwise, if you decide you want it later, it'll cost you $5 per month, but it isn't required for enjoyment. This bird feeder is equipped with a 1080p camera that can capture decent footage of whoever comes to snack. It has a wide field of vision as well, and the feeder is easy to clean and refill.MammotionLuba 3 AWDSenior writer Simon Hill plans on making this robot mower a pick in our buying guide. It's got GPS, lidar, and AI to help it avoid obstacles and leave your lawn looking presentable.GarminVivoactive 6The best fitness tracker regularly bounces between $250 and $300. It works with iOS and Android, has all the features you'd want, and looks nice while you wear it.Belkin3-in-1 Qi2 Charging StandWe love this 3-in-1 charger, which can top off your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch simultaneously and quickly. It doesn't drop lower than this in price.Wandrd Prvke (V4, Bundle) for $275 ($69 off)Photograph: Julian ChokkattuPhotograph: Julian ChokkattuPhotograph: Julian ChokkattuWandrdPrvke (V4)This camera bag is one of our long-standing recommendations. It was updated slightly in 2025, and it's still editor Julian Chokkattu's go-to despite having tested dozens of other options. We recommend going with the bundle, which comes with the Wandrd Essential Camera Cube (there are attachments for it inside the bag). The entire package is thoughtfully designed, with organizational pockets that have plenty of room for all the random gear you schlep around, a large side-access pocket, a luggage pass-through strap, comfortable padded backpack straps, and more. It's made with P900-denier tarpaulin and ballistic nylon, so it's nice and water-resistant.EpsonEcoTank ET-2980Our top printer recommendation usually sells for $100 more. It's straightforward, comes with plenty of ink, and has high print quality.SharkPowerDetect UV RevealThis is the second-best deal we've seen on the best robot vacuum, which has built-in AI that works well for deep cleaning, a mop, and an extendable arm.ComfyBraceAdjustable Posture CorrectorWIRED readers really like this posture corrector, which is our top pick thanks to being adjustable, comfortable, and corrective. It usually sells for $5 more.Bloom NutritionSuperfood Greens PowderI reach for Bloom greens powder every morning. I like the flavors, the not-too-big tub packaging, and the way it helps with my digestion. This deal is pretty standard but still better than full price.Power up with unlimited access to WIRED.

The Best Early Memorial Day Deals on Our Favorite TechLots of our most-recommended headphones, power banks, and other gadgets are on sale for Memorial Day.Courtesy of AmazonWhen you think of Memorial Day sales, you probably think of mattresses and other home goods. And while those items are definitely discounted, now is also a good time to purchase tech. Personally, I'm not buying anything right now unless it's discounted—and fortunately many of our top picks are. Whether you're shopping for a power bank, a new pair of headphones, or some other gadget, I've rounded up the best early Memorial Day deals for your perusal. We'll update this article again as we get closer to Memorial Day on May 26.Check out our buying guides for more recommendations, including the best headphones, the best laptops, and the best cheap phones.WIRED Featured Deals:Top-notch noise-canceling headphones: Sony WH-1000XM5 for $278 ($122 off)A power bank for everything: Sharge Shargeek Power Bank for $120 ($50 off)Sony WH-1000XM5 for $278 ($122 off)Courtesy of SonySonyWH-1000XM5The Sony WH-1000XM5 have a very frustrating name, but they're the predecessor to our favorite wireless headphones, and they're still an excellent pick if you don't want to shell out for the WH-1000XM6. They do fall to this price pretty frequently, but if you're in the market for over-ear headphones, they're hard to beat. They're comfortable, portable, lightweight, and stylish, and they'll make your music sound great no matter what you like to listen to.JBLFlip 7Our favorite Bluetooth speaker is stylish, portable, and packs surprisingly good sound for its size. Most colors are on sale.TribitStormBox Micro 2I did not even know they made separate Bluetooth speakers for bikes, but this is the best one, according to former WIRED reviewer Parker Hall. At less than $50, I am probably going to buy this as an end-of-school gift for my teen son. —Kat MerckAppleMacBook Air (M5, 2026)We haven't seen our favorite laptop sell for less, though it has been on sale for this price for a few weeks. It's powerful, has a great battery life, and has a sleek whisper-quiet design.BeatsPowerbeats Pro 2These stunning earbuds fit securely, making them especially good for workouts. They play well with iOS and Android devices. They do go on sale for this price frequently, though.Sharge Shargeek Power Bank for $120 ($50 off)Photograph: Simon HillShargeShargeek 170 Power BankWIRED reviewer Simon Hill ranks this as the best-looking power bank due to its ’90s throwback clear design. It reminds me of a cyberpunk Toblerone bar, but Simon reports that it packs some legitimate power with a maximum output of 170 watts, a 24,000-mAh capacity, and an IP66 rating water-resistance rating. It supports Power Delivery 3.1, Quick Charge 4.0, and PPS and can fast-charge three devices simultaneously. —Kat MerckWolfbox4000A Jump StarterThe best portable jump starter regularly jumps between $120 and $108, making now a better time to buy. It can charge your phone and has a built-in light, too.EpickaPulse Travel AdapterThis fantastic travel adapter is always affordable, but it doesn't sell for less than it is right now.
