Amazon Prime Day may be exclusive to loyalty members, but the retailer’s Labor Day sale is open to everyone. Now through Sept. 1, you can shop deals up to 50% off from brands like Apple, Stanley, Ninja, Coach and Lancôme, giving you the chance to save on your wish list items. And if you happen to be a Prime member, you’ll get free, fast shipping, plus access to additional promo codes as they pop up.

Below, I rounded up the best Labor Day sales on Amazon right now. I only recommended products that are 20% off or more, and have at least a 4.0-star average rating. I included items that the NBC Select staff swears by, are reader favorites or are generally worth knowing about due to their discount, utility or popularity. Amazon is constantly adding new deals to its Labor Day sale, so I’ll update this article leading up to and during the holiday.

These earbuds have multiple listening modes, including active noise cancellation to completely block sounds and transparency mode to hear what’s happening around you. They give you up to 30 hours of listening time with the included charging case, and they’re sweat- and water-resistant. The AirPods 4, which respond to Siri voice commands, have a shorter stem and a more contoured bud compared to the AirPods Pro, which are also on sale. You can buy the AirPods 4 without active noise cancellation, too.

The Quencher is Stanley’s most popular water bottle, and this 30-ounce version comes with a leakproof lid that has a built-in flip-up straw. It’s made from stainless steel and has double-wall vacuum insulation, which helps keep your beverages cold for hours. The dishwasher-safe tumbler fits most cup holders, and it has a large handle on the side for you to grip. The Quencher is on sale in specific colors, like Azure Fade (blue), Rose Quartz Fade (light pink), Hot Coral Fade, Cream Fade and Frost Fade.

Mediheal’s cotton toner pads are soaked with a serum made from 10 types of hyaluronic acid, woodland forget-me-not flowers and Icelandic glacial water. These ingredients hydrate, calm and de-puff skin, as well as strengthen the moisture barrier to prevent water loss, according to the brand. You can swipe the pads, which have a cooling effect whether or not you refrigerate them, over cleansed skin, or leave them on specific areas of your face like a sheet mask for about 10 to 15 minutes. The pads come with tweezers to help you pick each one up individually.

I originally bought a Brita for my college dorm room, but it’s stayed with me for years, and I still use it in my apartment. The Brita Plus has a 10-cup capacity and it comes with a pre-installed filter, which removes contaminants like chlorine, mercury, copper and zinc from water, according to the brand. The pitcher’s lid has a change filter alert built in, and there’s a large handle on the side that makes it easy to grip while pouring. You’ll need to change the filter about every two months — replacements are sold separately.

This rechargeable handheld vacuum tackles small messes at home and in cars, and it’s easy to move around since it’s only 1.4 pounds. It has powerful suction and a tapered nozzle that gives you control over the debris you pick up. There’s also a hand-washable filter you can remove to clean as needed. To empty the dust cup, you just hold the vacuum over the trash and press a button. The WandVac comes with a changing base that has a spot to hold the included crevice tool and pet hair tool.

The Tile Mate is a tracking device that helps you find whatever it’s attached to, like keys, bags or ID lanyards. It pairs with an app that shows you where the tracker is on a map, and you can ring the Tile so it plays a sound while you’re looking for it. You can also press the Tile to ring your phone, and send an SOS alert to loved ones by holding down on it. It has a 3-year battery life, according to the brand, and a 350-foot range.

Bring Coleman’s foldable outdoor chair on hikes and camping trips, as well as to the beach, pool or tailgates. It’s made from a water-resistant, durable material, and it has large feet to prevent it from wobbling or tipping. The chair’s steel frame supports up to 600 pounds, according to the brand. It has a cooler pouch, cupholder and side pocket to hold small items like your phone.

There are ice packs built into the walls of this collapsible, reusable lunch bag — you put the entire thing in the freezer before filling it with food to create an interior cooling system, eliminating the need for separate ice packs. The bag has a wide base to fit boxy containers, a zip top and a velcro closure. Its buckle handle lets you attach it to strollers and bags.

I’ve used Cadence’s reusable, refillable travel containers for about two years, and in that time, they’ve earned a permanent spot in my toiletry bag. This set comes with three 1.32-ounce containers, which you can make bigger if you buy the brand’s extender set separately. They’re leak-proof, TSA-compliant, compact and magnetic, so they stay together rather than floating around in your bag. These containers are labeled with little removable tiles on the top.
