What does President’s Day inspire in you? Probably not patriotism. The Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Veterans Day—those are the days that get to the good of America. President’s Day… It’s a bit lame, I’ll say it. It’s the weekend for skiing, so slopes get so packed there’s no point in even looking at your jacket or goggles. Plus, after the recent gift giving gamut we ran from the holidays to Valentine’s Day, it’s tough to get excited about anything.
So, I guess it’s a good thing that President’s Day has just become another shopping holiday. They replaced paying respects to Washington and Lincoln with skiing, and now they’ve replaced that with sales. This might make it the most American holiday of all. Thankfully, the deals are really good this time around. President’s Day is always one of the best weekends of the year to get a mattress, but this year we’re seeing great fashion deals, outdoor clothing deals, athleisure deals, and deals on just about everything else. If you’re looking to score deals on tech, style, and home stuff, President’s Day weekend is going to be as good a time of ever.
The weekend has kicked off, and so too have the deals. There’s no reason to wait until Monday for shopping. I can comfortably say these are the deals you’re going to get all weekend. You can go ahead and shop the best sales of this half of the year, and then you can take a proper vacation.
