Presidents' Day is coming to an end, and if you feel like you missed out on the holiday-weekend deals, well, you haven't. Not yet, anyway: Here are 10 of the best markdowns that are still alive and kicking. I've been scrolling through retailers' sales and tracking price histories, to make sure you really are getting the best bang for your buck. Start with 30% off the popular Dyson V8 vacuum at Target. Then score a very rare 30% off the Shark FlexStyle hair dryer and styler, 40% off a set of popular glass food containers, 50% off Beats Studio Pro headphones and 35% off an Amazon top-selling cardigan that looks very similar to a beloved J.Crew style.
The Dyson V8 Origin is engineered to tackle everyday messes on both carpets and hard floors. Convert it into a handheld and clean your car, stairs and upholstery with ease. Have pets? It has a detangling Motobar cleaner designed to keep hair from getting trapped inside. It also has a whole-machine filtration system that captures fine dust and pet allergens while expelling cleaner, fresher air.
"This V8 Advanced is fantastic," said a Dyson fan. "I had an old Dyson (heavy ball) that was still working, but clumsy and not efficient. I never thought my carpets and wood floors were so dusty until I used this. The bin needs to be emptied very often. but it's light and practical and stores away easily on its [stand].
This is Shark's version of the Dyson AirWrap, but the FlexStyle morphs from a standard hair dryer to a straight styler, and it comes with four attachments. You get a concentrator, paddle brush, round brush and two autowrap curlers. The concentrator can help you focus air in one direction, like if you want strands to dry straight. The paddle brush is great for drying hair straight too. You can use the round brush attachment to give yourself an easy at-home blowout, adding a little volume where you want it. However, the autowrap curlers are the big seller. Simply float them over the hair you want to style, and the barrel will gently suck hair around it to create a curl.
"I cannot express how amazing this product is," raved a five-star fan. "For one, it dries my hair so fast it's insane. And I have very thick and long, long hair. The curler works amazing — it does take a little getting used to, but it works great and my curls definitely last for days. I have no frizz in my hair. I do not have to put product in my hair."
Prep ingredients and store leftovers with this set of durable glass food containers. Each one comes with a leak-proof snap-lock lid, so they keep food fresh and they're less messy. They're also dishwasher-, freezer-, microwave- and oven-safe.
"After using these containers, I threw all my other ones in the garbage!" said one shopper. "I love the covers. They fit very well and I don't have to worry about them leaking. I love these! I love the fact that you can put these in the freezer. They can go from freezer to oven (without lids), microwavable and dishwasher-safe. Easy to stack."
While Beats do go on sale from time to time, this is the lowest price they've ever dropped to — nearly 50% off! Here are the highlights: They're wireless, noise-canceling and offer up to 40 hours of battery life. Score them on sale in four colors.
"Very comfortable, long-lasting battery and the sound, OMG — clear, crispy, aaaaamazing, the best I ever experienced so far," said one impressed customer. "The price was excellent and I highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to listen to your music or TV with excellent noise cancellation."
Is it a cardigan or is it a coat? It's both! Score this versatile piece while it's 35% off to layer in the winter over T-shirts and turtlenecks, to wear in a chilly office and sport on early spring outings. Although it comes in a range of colors, this khaki color goes great with jeans and leggings, and can make any outfit look a bit more elevated. It also looks very similar to a beloved J.Crew style.
"Very nice fabric — nice feel and weight to fabric," said one shopper. "Very soft, steps up the look of any outfit. I'm 5'3" and it hits right at knee. Looks so professional for work or completes a look with jeans. I will be buying more colors."
You can never have enough tote bags — or simple black bags for that matter! This one checks both boxes with chic, pebbled black leather and a top zipper to keep everything safely inside. Get it during the Macy's Presidents' Day sale.
"This tote is the one I've wanted for so long. Perfect pebble leather, large enough for a computer, great for shopping or traveling. Excellent price," said a shopper.
Your stained carpets and upholstery are no match for the Little Green Max. Bring couches, rugs, curtains and more back to that "fresh from the factory" feel. Just fill one of the tanks with a mix of water and cleaning solution, turn it on and use the hose to start scrubbing away stains and other messes. The dirty water goes into a separate detachable tank that you can easily dump out in the sink.
Now, you've probably seen another version of this machine — the traditional Little Green. The Max offers superior suction, comes with a pet hair tool, has a larger water tank (yet weighs about a pound less) and comes with the brand's Pet Pro cleaning formula.
"So much better than the Little Green Machine!" explained a shopper who previously owned the original model. "It is much easier to clean because pieces come apart that do not on the former one. Also, with the square flat design, it is so much easier to fill and dump the water. ... There is an option of two different scrubbing ends on the wand, and they work so good!"
If you're sick of the cold and dreaming of a beach vacation, you may want to get a hold of Yankee Candle's popular Pink Sands scent. The candle (now over 50% off!) features notes of citrus, sweet florals and vanilla that make it smell like "sun-warmed sand." And its extended burn time (110-150 hours) means it'll last until you can actually go on vacation.
"I love Yankee Candles! They smell so good and burn evenly so no wax is wasted," said a reviewer. "Pink Sands is my favorite scent. It has a light airiness that freshens up any space."
Charge all of your most-used tech at once. This station can juice up most iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watches simultaneously. Just plug it in and leave it out on your nightstand, kitchen counter, or anywhere else that's convenient so your devices are nearby and ready to go when you need them.
"I love it," said one shopper. "This is the best charger I have ever had. It travels well because it’s not too bulky. I have had my charger for over a year and it is still going strong. It is very durable and a great value for the money. It definitely takes the place of three chargers."
For anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors in the winter — or anyone who's just always cold — these are a godsend. They're single-use but they heat up fast and stay hot for up to 10 hours. Slip them into ski gloves, coat pockets or even boots for a toasty time.
"These hand warmers work well for keeping your hands warm for hours," said one shopper. "They last a long time. I love that they’re compact so they’re easy to take anywhere. The price is great, definitely a good option for outdoor activities."
