The best classic deals to shop during the Amazon Big Spring Sale
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 cost of living increases daily, seven full days of deals are welcome.
Amazon is known for offering a selection of classic deals during major sales — those that appear every Prime Day and Black Friday. These deals include Amazon devices, Apple products, Ninja kitchen appliances, and more.

We’ve been covering Amazon’s Spring Sale since it began three years ago, and Amazon’s other significant sales for even longer. This experience allows us to present a carefully curated selection of the nine best classic Amazon deals we’ve found during the Big Spring Sale.
Best Kindle deal
Why we like it
The standard Amazon Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB storage typically costs $159.99. During Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2025, it was priced at $124.99. Currently, it’s available for $134.99, which is just okay, but the Kindle Paperwhite Bundle is on discount. The bundle includes the Paperwhite, a plant-based leather cover, and a power adapter. The Kindle Paperwhite is ideal for spring break since it’s lightweight and waterproof, with a single charge lasting up to 12 weeks.
Best Bluetooth tracker deal
Why we like it
Apple AirTags are a staple during Amazon sales. Whether we see a discount on the second-generation AirTags remains uncertain, but you can get a four-pack of first-generation Apple AirTags for only $59.99, beating their lowest price ever by about $3. In this bundle, each Apple Bluetooth tracker costs just $14.99. The timing for this deal is perfect as everyone plans for spring break and summer travel.
Best LifeStraw deal
Why we like it
Amazon’s Spring Sale is ideal for picking up seasonal savings, like outdoor supplies. It’s no surprise the LifeStraw is on sale—available whenever there’s a sitewide Amazon sale. You can get it for just $13.18, saving 34% on this portable water filter.
Best Fire Stick deal
Why we like it
Amazon devices get markdowns during every Amazon sale. While Kindles are popular, the brand’s Fire Stick selection is worth consideration. The 4K Plus model is 50% off, priced at $24.99. This streaming stick turns any TV into a smart TV with easy access to streaming services for a lower cost than a $130 Apple TV setup.
Best Apple deal
Why we like it
Whether the newest AirPods model has been around for years or was released recently, like the AirPods Pro 3, they will be discounted during Amazon sales. Our reviewer praised the latest flagship earbuds for their ANC, sound quality, and features like a built-in heart rate monitor and live translation. At $199, they’re not at their lowest price ever, but $50 off is still a solid deal.
Best air fryer deal
Why we like it
Finding an air fryer that cooks an entire meal, looks good on the counter, and is affordable seems impossible, but Our Place’s Wonder Oven accomplishes this. With a 12.7-quart capacity, it includes various cooking accessories for air frying, baking, and more. At $129 for Prime members (a 30% discount off the $185 list price), it’s a great deal on an air fryer highly endorsed by Mashable’s Samantha Mangino.
Best Dyson deal
Why we like it
The Dyson Airwrap can be a hit or miss in Amazon sales, but at least one model of the Dyson Supersonic is always discounted during savings events. The Supersonic Nural is worth the luxury price for its dry times and temperature-adjusting attachments. It’s discounted by $200, bringing it to $349.99.
Best budget headphones deal
Why we like it
On sale, JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones — a budget alternative to Bose QuietComfort headphones — are available for under $50, priced at $41.99. Though the $359 Bose QuietComfort headphones haven’t gone on sale yet, these earned a spot on our best budget headphones list for their noise cancellation, battery life, and sound quality. The sale offers four different colorways to choose from.
Best tent deal
Why we like it
