Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has been live for almost a week, ending March 31. The range of discounted items closely mirrors those available during Prime Day.
With such a vast array of deals, it’s challenging to navigate even if you intend to avoid major splurges this time around. Discounts like these mean that $50 is more than enough for the ideal birthday or Mother’s Day gift (May 10 this year). We’ve maintained a list of our top deals under $50, organized into categories such as headphones, home, and beauty. As deals expire, they’ll be marked off—so if you discover a great offer still available on the final day, act quickly.
(Want to spend even less? We’re also tracking the best Amazon deals under $25.)
Best Amazon device deal
Why we like it: Amazon sales are among the best opportunities to grab Amazon devices. From Kindles to Fire TV sticks, Amazon often offers enormous discounts on its products. If you need a new bedroom smart speaker and clock, the Amazon Echo Spot is available at just $49.99, reduced from its typical price of $79.99. You can check the time and weather at a glance without your phone. Plus, you can set it to play your favorite wakeup playlist each morning.

Best earbuds deal
Why we like it: The Soundcore by Anker Space A40 earbuds are usually priced at $79.99, but if you’re okay with navy, black, or white, they’re available for under $45. The Space A40 earbuds reduce noise by up to 98 percent and provide 50 hours of playback time with the included case. If your current headphones are malfunctioning, Amazon’s spring sale is a great chance to upgrade to better wireless earbuds before warm weather arrives.

Best home deal
Why we like it: The weather will soon heat up. This year, prepare for it with the Dreo TurboPoly Table Fan. It boasts four speeds, an 8-hour timer, and strong oscillation power. The fan can blow air up to 60 feet, making it ideal for a bedroom or office. It operates quietly at 28 decibels, so sleeping while the fan is on is no problem.

Best Lego deal under $50
Why we like it: A bonsai diminutive garden takes years to cultivate. Instead of toiling over the garden, consider snagging the Lego Botanicals Japanese Red Maple Bonsai Tree on sale for $47.95. Its orange and red leaves sit in a buildable green pot perfect for a bookshelf.

Self-care and beauty deals under $50
Why we like it: Even the least expensive of our favorite Dyson Supersonic dupes and Airwrap dupes still hover around the $100 mark this Big Spring Sale season. If you want a more budget-friendly hair tool for home blowouts, the L’Ange blowout brush is nearly 30 percent off now.
The Le Volume 2-in-1 blow dryer brush functions like Dyson’s round brush attachment or the Shark Glossi, offering 360 degree airflow around a 60 mm barrel for bouncy volume while taming frizz.
