Real Simple's Editorial Guidelines Published on August 30, 2024 08:00AM EDT Photo: Real Simple / Tyler Roeland Are you thinking about the December holidays? No, probably not. I mean, some of us are still wearing shorts and haven’t closed our pools yet. But one thing my mom always taught me was to think ahead, especially when it comes to holiday shopping, and that’s exactly why I’m using this year’s Labor Day sales to get a head start on buying gifts. And at amazing prices, too. While everyone else is puttering around, waiting for November’s Black Friday deals to come, you and I will be ahead of the curve. And we will already have pocketed a great amount of savings. Right now, these are the Labor Day deals on Amazon I’m eyeing, and some of my picks—from popular brands like Coach, Marc Jacobs, Apple, Laneige, and Stanley—are as much as 62 percent off. Prices start at just $5, too.

The touch screen display requires no power outlets or cables, thanks to a built-in battery, and it even features five wheels connected to its base so you can easily roll it around the house from room to room (which means it’s perfect for football season or for catching up on the latest Bravo episode from the comfort of your bathtub). The screen is also conveniently rotatable, which means, just like your phone, it can be used in either portrait or landscape mode. It’s also Airplay 2 compatible, allowing you to mirror content from your phone, stream, or share wirelessly. Marc Jacobs The Medium Mesh Tote Bag Amazon Orig. $275 $165 at Amazon Everyone’s favorite—and Marc Jacobs’ most recognized design—is The Tote Bag and this one, available in bright blue mesh, puts a fun and funky twist on the original bag. (And at 40 percent off, too!) With a structured silhouette, raised logo lettering, and an overall beachy vibe that’s giving “luxury travel on the go,” it also features interior pockets and a removable and adjustable longer strap. It’s the perfect gift for my bag-collecting sister who’s always on the hunt for the right vacation tote. Kelofon Travel Jewelry Case Amazon Orig. $13 $5 at Amazon I usually buy one of these travel jewelry cases as a small gift or stocking stuffer every holiday season. At only $5 right now while it’s on sale, this now 62 percent-off Amazon best-seller is ideal for any jewelry lover who loves to take their gems with them on the go. (In fact, I even gifted these to each of my bridesmaids for my wedding day.) Available in a slew of aesthetically-pleasing colors—including pink (pictured above), blue, purple, and white—each travel storage box features six ring rolls, three necklace hooks, four divided compartments to store your daintiest jewelry, a built-in mirror, and two removable dividers. Featuring designer bags, best-selling technology, and beauty picks, my favorite holiday gifts are some you’ll want to buy early while they’re on sale for Labor Day.
