Best Memorial Day Deals: Garmin, Birdfy, Branch (2026) | WIRED
Overview
I'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 again between now and then.
Make sure to check out our various buying guides for recommendations on the best laptops, the best printers, and more. You might also be interested in the rest of our Memorial Day deals coverage.

Birdfy Lite Smart Bird Feeder (Lifetime AI, No Solar) for 110 off)
A 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.
Reviewer 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.
Use code WIRED25 to save on these decadent bamboo sheets, which feel like melted butter and won't get too warm on summer nights.
The best fitness tracker regularly bounces between
We love this 3-in-1 charger, which can top off your i Phone, Air Pods, and Apple Watch simultaneously and quickly. It doesn't drop lower than this in price.
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.
The best budget robot vacuum can mop, too. It has multi-floor mapping and usually bounces between this price and its full MSRP.
This neat-looking power bank has a built-in display, can withstand the rain, and comes with a carrying case to protect its incredible see-through housing.
This rugged power station can be recharged with the sun. It has a built-in lantern, a staggering amount of ports, and a carrying strap. Perfect for camping or perhaps the end of the world as we know it!
I 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.
We've seen this sale before, but it's still one of the best prices you can hope to pay for the best office chair we've tested. Out of the 70+ chairs our tester(s) have tried, the Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro remains our top pick. It's comfortable, adjustable, durable, and affordable compared to what you might expect to pay for similar features elsewhere. If you just need a general chair that's better than what you've been using, this is worth considering.
I just tested this outdoor blanket out for a guide and I love it, as does every other member of the WIRED Reviews team that has tried it. It's packable, warm, and easy to clean.
This sofa bed is modular and even has built-in storage. The real star of the show is the way it can convert into a surprisingly comfortable bed. Read our review.
If you want a new office chair that's a bit more elegant, this honorable mention from our guide is worth considering. It's still comfortable, though not quite as adjustable.
These are the best packing cubes you can get from Amazon. They look nice, have decent compression, and even have a label window. Just be aware they're basically all rectangular.
The chunky Typhur Dome 2 is incredibly powerful and fast. It'll cook your food evenly and quickly, resulting in perfectly browned chicken wings and golden-crisp French fries. There's also a smartphone app with recipes, and it even has a self-cleaning mode. It's expensive, but far outpaces any other air fryer we've tested, and this sale makes it a bit easier to stomach.
Everyone on the WIRED Reviews team that has tried a John Boos cutting board has liked it. They make great gifts, they're fantastic for meal kit prep, and they'll last a lifetime.
The real deal here is the Memorial Day starter set, which includes a fantastic cast iron skillet, plus a care kit and a turner. Cast iron does require some upkeep, and this set will have you covered with high-quality products.
Use code LETSGRILL to snag this knife for $96. It's our favorite chef's knife overall. Note that some colors are sold out already, so shop sooner for the best selection.
This 3-zone griddle has resident reviewer and foodie Matthew Korfhage madly in love. It's reliable, heats evenly, and will make you feel like a Waffle House chef capable of churning out order after order. Find more Memorial Day grill deals here.
