Amazon sales are notorious for these classic deals — save on Kindles, camping gear, AirPods, and more
The first major Amazon sale of 2026 is here. The Amazon Big Spring Sale, which kicked off on March 25, features some of the retailer's best spring deals all the way through March 31. During a time when the price of simply breathing seems to get more expensive by the day, seven full days of deals are welcome.
Amazon is notorious for offering a selection of classic deals during major sale events — sales that we see pop up every Prime Day and Black Friday. These include Amazon devices, Apple products, Ninja kitchen appliances, and plenty more.
We've been covering Amazon's Spring Sale since it first cropped up three years ago, and Amazon's other major sales for even longer than that, so we decided to put our expertise to use. The result? The below list of the nine best classic Amazon deals we've spotted so far during the Big Spring Sale.
Best Kindle deal
Why we like it
The standard Amazon Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB storage comes with a list price of $159.99, but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2025, we saw that drop to $124.99. So far, it's only dropped down to $134.99, which is just OK, but the Kindle Paperwhite Bundle is on a discount. The bundle includes the Paperwhite (Mashable's favorite Kindle), a plant-based leather cover, and a power adapter. The Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect spring break accessory since it's lightweight enough to pack along and it's waterproof. Plus, a single charge can last for up to 12 weeks.
Best Bluetooth tracker deal
Why we like it
Apple AirTags are a staple feature during Amazon sales. Will we see the first-ever discount on the second-generation AirTags? That remains to be seen, but for now, you can snag a four-pack of first-generation Apple AirTags for only $59.99, beating their lowest price ever by about $3. For the bundle, each Apple Bluetooth tracker costs just $14.99. The timing for this deal couldn't be better since we're all eyes on spring break and we're booking summer travel since airfare prices have no bounds these days.
Best LifeStraw deal
Why we like it
Amazon markets its Spring Sale as being the perfect time to pick up seasonally-appropriate savings, like outdoor supplies. But that wasn't the only reason it was unsurprising to see the LifeStraw on sale — if there's a sitewide Amazon sale, this personal water filter will be available for less than its full price. This time around, that means you can grab it for just $13.18, saving you 34% on the portable water filter.
Best Fire Stick deal
Why we like it
Naturally, Amazon devices get markdowns every time an Amazon sale comes around. While Kindles may get a lot of love, it's definitely worth taking a second look at the brand's Fire Stick selection. Case in point: this 4K Plus model is 50% off, bringing it down to just $24.99. This streaming stick essentially turns any TV into a smart TV with easy access to streaming services. And, it's much cheaper than a $130 Apple TV setup.
Best Apple deal
Why we like it
It doesn't matter if the most recent model of AirPods has been out for years or if it came out months ago (as is the case with the AirPods Pro 3) — they will be discounted if Amazon is running a sale. Our reviewer heaped praise onto the latest flagship earbuds from Apple, calling out their standout ANC, great out-of-the-box sound quality, and interesting extra features like the built-in heart rate monitor and live translation. At $199, they're not quite at the lowest price we've ever seen them hit — that'd be the $184 they were at in February — but $50 off Apple's latest earbuds is still a pretty sick deal.
Best air fryer deal
Why we like it
Finding an air fryer that's big enough to actually cook an entire meal, looks cute on a countertop, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg seems almost an impossible task, but Our Place's Wonder Oven somehow pulls it off (a wonder, indeed). The 12.7-quart countertop oven comes with a wire rack, air fry basket, bake pan, and crumb tray, and can air fry, bake, roast, toast, broil, and reheat. That's versatility. At $129 for Prime members (a 30% discount off the $185 list price), it's an excellent deal on the air fryer that Mashable's Samantha Mangino calls her "favorite kitchen appliance."
Best Dyson deal
Why we like it
The (in)famous Dyson Airwrap can be a hit or miss when it comes to Amazon sales, but at least one model of the Dyson Supersonic goes on sale during an Amazon savings event. This time around, we're delighted to see it's the Supersonic Nural. Make no mistake, this is a luxury purchase, but its speedy dry times and temperature-adjusting magnetic attachments do absolutely add something to the hair-drying experience. Considering its $549.99 price tag, grabbing it on sale is absolutely the move — luckily, it's $200 off, bringing it down to $349.99.
Best budget headphones deal
Why we like it
The JLab JBuds Lux ANC are what you get when you want Bose QuietComfort headphones but want to pay under $100. On sale, you can beat even that impressive valuation and grab them for under $50, at just $41.99. (The $359 Bose QuietComfort headphones, on the other hand, have not gone on sale as of day two of the Spring Sale.) These headphones earned a spot on our best budget headphones list thanks to their adjustable (and great) active noise cancellation, impressive battery life, and balanced sound profile. As an added bonus, you have your choice of four colorways on sale.
Best tent deal
Why we like it
If the four-person Coleman Sundome Camping Tent isn't on sale when Amazon is hosting a sitewide sale, hell has probably frozen over. What won't be freezing over is you, protected from the elements in this tent that can fit a queen-size mattress, withstand winds of up to 35 mph, and has a rainfly to keep you dry and warm. This Big Spring Sale markdown knocks the price to $94.99, saving you 19%, and making this tent cheaper than its three-person counterpart.
