Labor Day marks the winding down of summer, and it also signals the ramping up of a season of big deals, starting with the flurry of sales events from now through the long weekend. To save you time, we’re sharing the deals you can’t miss—scroll down for the top Buy Side–recommended products on sale right now.
The Bowflex SelectTech 552 has everything you need without features you don’t. Out of all the options we tested, this was the most dummy-proof and easy to use, right out of the box.
With cooler weather on the horizon, you might not be as inclined to trek to the gym, but that shouldn’t stop you from keeping up on your fitness goals. Our favorite adjustable dumbbell set will let you keep up with your weightlifting routine at home. By simply twisting the dial on the outside of the dumbbells you can adjust the weight between 5 and 52.5 pounds, allowing for a range of exercises without the need for multiple pieces of equipment. The set is currently $50 off both at Amazon and direct from Bowflex.
Theragun users swear by the muscle massager, and the diminutive Theragun Mini is an ideal size for portability, earning it a spot as one of our favorite gifts for dads. The current sale price isn’t the lowest we’ve seen, but $40 off is a decent markdown.
When it comes to comfortable desk chairs that are also stylish, the Saarinen Executive Office Chair is a best bet for its textured bouclé fabric and wraparound armrest, and for Labor Day it’s 15% off. The Stua Gas Task Chair is another beauty with clever design features: a rounded shape that cradles your back, plus casters that lock when you sit and roll when you take weight off the chair. If you buy it now, you’ll save more than $150.

Branch is a top-quality brand we highlight in our standing desks roundup, especially because this desk is a good pick for families with its wide adjustability (25 to 52 inches) and a set-and-save function for four sit-stand heights. The brand’s cushy chair, with its three-inch, high-density foam seat, is also one of the standouts recommended in our guide to shopping for an ergonomic desk chair; you can change up the height, seat depth and more for a custom fit. During the Labor Day sale you can save 10% with code “LABORDAY.”
During Steelcase’s Labor Day sale, everything on the site is 15% off through Sept. 6. That’s a great opportunity to save on high-quality equipment for your home office. The Migration SE Sit-to-Stand Desk, which we recommend in our guide to choosing a standing desk, is marked down to $850 from its usual $1,000 price, while you can buy the ergonomic Gesture Office Chair for less than $1,200, depending on configuration.
A third standing desk option, the Fully Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk, is also on sale at 15% off. We love this one because it’s super quiet, has a number of customization options including multiple desktop sizes and it comes with a 15-year warranty on the electronics.
If you’re in the market for a new desk but prefer something stationary, you’re in luck as well. Wayfair has marked the Joss & Main Mullins Solid Wood Desk down to $330, which is $110 less than it was listed when we featured it in our guide to the best small desks. The mango wood desk offers one of the largest work surfaces in the category, and plenty of storage, too.
This stainless-steel portable fire pit is big enough to put out a good amount of heat, “but not so large that it’s too cumbersome to bring camping or tailgating,” according to one of the experts in our roundup of the best gifts for grillers. The smoke output is minimal, and during Solo Stove’s Labor Day sale, you can save big.

For any griller or baker in your life, here’s a great chance to give them a gift they’ll love and use often. (If you’re that griller, it’s a smart buy for you too.) The Thermapen One is super-accurate, ultrafast and 20% off for Labor Day with the code “ShareBBQ”.
Offer applies to first month only
Bean Box is one of our favorite mail-order coffee subscription services, with beans from more than 50 craft roasters in a variety of roasts for every taste. Sign up for a subscription between Sept. 2 and 5, and each bag in your first order will cost only $9.05, saving you more than 50% off the normal price.
Coravin’s Pivot system is a lower-priced variant of the expert-recommended wine preserver in our guide to thoughtful wedding gifts—and it’s also 20% off for a short time (with code LABOR DAY). It’s a helpful device for anyone who regularly opens a bottle of wine but wants only a glass or two; using capsules of inert gas to prevent oxidation, it keeps the remaining wine fresh for up to a month so you don’t have to worry about wasting it.
Fall is the perfect time to update your bag, whether you’re headed back to school or just going along with the changing seasons. We think messenger bags are great for daily carry, and one of our favorites, Feed Projects’ Canvas Go-To Bag is $30 off for the holiday. Not only is it a just-right size, with room for a 13-inch laptop and other daily essentials, but your purchase also donates 25 meals to children in schools around the world.
Made of a series of high-performance recycled materials that give them a flexible feel, Stan Smiths are a quality pair of white sneakers in their own right—and paired with the teensy crib-shoe version, they’re also a great gift for, say, a first-time dad. Especially while both sizes are 30% off for Labor Day.
Made of medium-weight flannel, this plush pair offers just the right amount of warmth and comes in a range of sizes and patterns.
The start of fall is a good time to stock up on comfy PJs. L.L. Bean’s Scotch Plaid Flannel Pajamas were the softest and warmest set we found in our testing for the best cute and cozy pajamas for women, and Nordstrom is offering them at half-off for Labor Day. You can choose from a classic red and black pattern or a tartan plaid.
