UPDATE: Mar. 24, 2024, 10:00 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with new drone deals from day five of Amazon’s Spring Sale event.

Spring temperatures are melting prices at Amazon. The retail giant is hosting a new seasonal savings event this week called the “Big Spring Sale” (very apt), and it’s not just another iteration of its flagship Prime Day sale.

Live now through Monday, March 25 at amazon.com/bigspringsale, the Big Spring Sale is a first-of-its-kind event featuring deals that revolve around “seasonally relevant items” and “warm-weather essentials,” according to a post on Amazon’s blog. That includes sports and outdoor equipment, cleaning and organizing products, and select electronics, from Apple devices to Fire tablets.

In a deviation from Prime Day, Amazon’s biggest savings event of the year, the Big Spring Sale isn’t entirely restricted to members of its paid Prime subscription service. However, the company’s announcement notes that members “will receive access to exciting, exclusive deals” as part of it. If you haven’t signed up for Prime yet, you can jumpstart a 14-day trial for free.

Keep reading for the Mashable Shopping team’s running list of hand-picked highlights from the Big Spring Sale, and check back often: New doorbusters are being added every day.

Greatest Amazon Spring Sale Apple deals

Why we like them

Read Mashable’s full review of the Apple AirPods Pro USB-C.

“The USB-C AirPods Pro came onto the scene last year, offering a much-needed upgrade with its charging port, while keeping the features we loved on the Lightning Pros. With these earbuds, you get maximum portability, great functionality with Apple devices, and some of the greatest ANC you can find on a pair of earbuds.” — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

“After going on sale for $299.99 earlier in the Big Spring Sale, the Acer Aspire 3 is now even cheaper (at $73 off), putting it just $7 away from last November’s record low. You don’t really have a right to complain about mediocre specs at this entry-level price point, but this guy’s hardware is above-average compared to most other sub-$300 laptops: There’s an AMD Ryzen 3 7320U processor from late 2022, a healthy 8GB of memory for light multitasking, 128GB of SSD storage, and a 15.6-inch HD display. It’s a fine pick for basic tasks like sending emails and watching YouTube.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Greatest Amazon Spring Sale robot vacuum deals

Why we like it

“We’re always going to sound the alarm when a 50% discount is spotted on a Roomba. Even without mopping or self-emptying capabilities, the Roomba j7 is still one of the most solid Roombas — and robot vacuums in general — that you could bring home, and that’s all due to small obstacle avoidance. On top of room-to-room smart mapping, any j series Roomba steers clear of things like phone chargers, pet waste, and socks. This capability, which we first experienced when testing the Combo j7+, is an absolute game-changer if your previous gripe with robot vacuums was that you had to clean up the room before sending them out to clean.” — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Read Mashable’s full review of the Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (2nd Gen).

“We’re not going to lie, it can be a little tricky to find more-than-decent ANC on a pair of budget earbuds. At their full price of $119.99, the Echo Buds already offer a fairly enticing price point for that criteria, but at $54.99, that’s nearly unbeatable. Mashable Tech Reporter Alex Perry wrote in his Echo Buds review, ‘Considering how much cheaper these are than other big-name ANC-enabled earbuds, it’s pretty incredible that the ANC works as well as it does.’ You shouldn’t expect Bose-standard noise cancellation, the touch panels can be a little too sensitive, and the battery life is just okay, but these are fair trade-offs for the money you’re saving.” — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

Greatest Amazon Spring Sale TV deals

Why we like it

“If price has been the only factor deterring you from upgrading to an XL screen, check out this 75-inch QLED TV from TCL that has dropped to a new record-low price of $599.99 (according to Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel). The Q6 is one of TCL’s cheapest models to utilize quantum dots: an extra layer of nanoparticles between the screen and direct backlighting. This creates the brightness necessary for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ compatibility to be worthwhile — brightness that a regular LED TV just can’t compete with. TCL has also loaded the Q6 series with Motion Rate 240 motion smoothing technology and three HDMI ports, making it a super solid budget gaming TV.” — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

It also comes with a built-in S Pen stylus that doubles as a remote, according to Mashable tech editor Kim Gedeon. This is the 256GB base model’s first discount since it launched in January 2024.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

“Just released in February of this year, the Anker MagGo foldable 3-in-1 charging station just got its first big discount for the Big Spring Sale. It regularly retails for $109.99, but you can grab it for just $82.49 and save 25%. As the name suggests, it can wirelessly charge three gadgets at once — an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods (or other Qi-enabled devices) — and fast (15W). The vertical design is compact and convenient for a desk or bedside table. Plus, it weighs under 7 ounces and folds up smaller than Apple’s Magic Mouse, making it ideal for travel.” — Christina Buff, Contributor

It’s packed with a speedy and powerful octa-core processor that’s perfect for productivity and entertainment, can handle up to 14 hours of use on a single charge, and has a beautiful 11-inch screen to tie it all together. You can even get a bundle that comes with a keyboard cover and stylus at a discount (almost $120 off).” — Dylan Haas, Lead Shopping Reporter

It’s one of the most water- and dust-resistant tablets on the market, can last up to 18 hours on a single charge, and comes with an S Pen.” — Dylan Haas, Lead Shopping Reporter

“The Garmin Forerunner 255 is on the higher-budget end of fitness trackers, but at $100 off during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, we think it’s worth considering. The durable fitness watch features a slim design, but can still withstand excessive sweat and accidental drops. Using the device’s easy-to-use five-button layout, you’ll be able to check on things like your heart rate, sleep quality, recovery score, and more. It even has a 14-day battery life, so you won’t have to constantly slow yourself down as you work towards your fitness goals.” — Dylan Haas, Lead Shopping Reporter

Greatest Amazon Spring Sale outdoor security camera deals

Why we like it

“With 700 lumens of motion-triggered illumination, the new Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight camera lets you see what’s happening outside of your home in crisp HD no matter the time of day. Thanks to two-way audio, you can speak to people and pets using the Blink app on your smartphone, and get a heads up if that noise you heard outside was a squirrel rustling in the bushes or an actual intruder. With the Blink subscription plan (sold separately), the enhanced motion detection goes even further with person detection. At 40% off ahead of the Big Spring Sale, you can grab this easy-to-setup security camera for an all-time low of $77.99.” — Christina Buff, Contributor

“It may not be a Yeti, but the Coleman 316 Series cooler can fit over 100 cans inside and keep them on ice for up to five days. Its fully insulated lid and body can withstand temperatures as high as 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while its heavy-duty design can support up to 250 pounds of weight on top. Translation: it doubles as a place to sit. Customers who bought and reviewed it on Amazon dub it “reliable and durable,” and honestly, what else could you want in a cooler?

Greatest Amazon Spring Sale solar eclipse glasses deals

“The next total solar eclipse is set to take place on Monday, April 8, and if you want to participate in collectively (and safely) staring at the sun together, you’re going to need a pair of solar eclipse glasses. We don’t recommend buying a pair all willy-nilly, though, because not all of them are legit, and we don’t want you burning your precious peepers. What you need to look out for are glasses that are specifically approved by the American Astronomical Society (AAS) and have an ISO 12312-2 safety rating. … Below, we’ve listed out all the options we could find that are on sale, so check them out and grab yourself a pair or two before they start selling out (they usually become pretty scarce in the weeks before an eclipse).” — Dylan Haas, Lead Shopping Reporter

Greatest Amazon Spring Sale gaming monitor deals

Why we like it

This 49-inch Samsung monitor was already at a pretty impressive price with its $400 Big Spring Sale markdown, but the extra $100 off coupon helped push it to its lowest price ever, according to the price tracker camelcamelcamel. This ultra-wide curved behemoth isn’t for the casual gamers out there, but if you’ve been looking to deck out your gamer cave with a monitor the same width as a standard desk that also has a 240Hz refresh rate, this deal lets you do that for a hefty investment, but much less than the one the MSRP asks.

It also comes with a free upgrade to HP+ that offers additional smart features and six months of HP Instant Ink (note that a monthly fee is charged if you don’t cancel before the six-month trial period is up).” — Jillian Anthony, Contributor

It can easily recognize and organize everything from paperwork to receipts to business cards, making your life and work that much easier. Note that it does not have Ethernet capabilities.” — Jillian Anthony, Contributor

“Spring allergy season has arrived and if you’re tired of constantly having the sniffles, the Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde TP09 could provide relief. The fully-sealed HEPA filter is designed to capture 99.97 percent of particles that measure 0.3 microns in size, including pollen, dust, and gases. Dyson excels when it comes to fan design and this model is no different. It uses Dyson’s Air Multiplier technology to circulate the air, pulling in air from across the room for filtration. Plus, having a powerful fan around as the summer months arrive is certainly a great idea.” — Lauren Allain, Contributor
