President's Day Sales: First Retail Holiday of the Year!
Any kind of holiday brings sales with it.February, Cabin Fever, and Shopping
Finally February! January took forever. And it wasn’t exactly great. February isn’t looking great either so far, but having temperatures above freezing puts it leagues above January! Being stuck in the house hasn’t helped, and I wouldn’t mind wasting some time walking around window shopping just to get out. With that…
Every holiday seems like a reason to have a sale, and President’s Day is no different. President’s Day is considered the first retail holiday of the new year. But did you know that President’s Day sales often focus on big-ticket items like furniture, large appliances, and electronics? However, the majority of retailers will be having some kind of sale.

Macy’s has a storewide sale in multiple departments with discounts up to 60%. This includes winter outerwear, their semi-annual jewelry sale, bedding, and more.
For my fellow plus-size ladies, Torrid has up to 40% off regular price items and up to an extra 60% off clearance items! As someone who is plus size, Torrid dominates my closet. But my favorite Torrid items are their bras (I only buy bras there!), workwear (especially the Harper/Georgette/Lizzie blouses and blazers), and their leggings. Leggings can be difficult for me to wear because of my leg, but for whatever reason, Torrid leggings are okay! When I find something in life that limits my leg pain, I go all-in.
Although part of my intentional spending in 2026 includes no new makeup items until I’m out of it, I have to share Ulta Beauty’s Buy 1 Get 1 mix & match minis. I definitely would use this to get refills of items.
Amazon Sales
Of course, what would a shopping post be without Amazon mentions?

Right now, Amazon is offering a variety of sales on Apple products, like their 11-inch iPad linked below. I absolutely love my iPad. If you also have a Mac (I do), this article is really good at explaining how well the two can work together. Often, I use my iPad as a second screen to my MacBook. But the Apple Pencil also enhances the experience. If you’re going all-in on the iPad experience, If you’re going all-in on the iPad experience, I use a Logitech Slim Folio Keyboard Case that is also currently on sale for President’s Day. Finally, Apple AirPods 4 are also on sale.
(I really need to just write an entire blog post about how much I love my iPad, because I kept having to pull myself back from going on a tangent there!)
Fire Products and Kindle Bundles
Amazon the Brand isn’t missing out either. This 55-inch, INSIGNIA Fire 4K TV with an Alexa Voice Remote has a limited-time deal at $179.99 (49% off, which is oddly specific). As a Smart TV, it’ll operate with other devices both within and outside the Amazon hub.
Amazon also has a bunch of Kindle sales, including bundles! (button links below!) Some of these surprised me:
Share the Love Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 16GB Two-Pack in Black and Raspberry. I did not expect to see a Kindle two-pack. It is currently on sale for $269.99, but the actual bundle savings is listed as $50, if you were wondering.
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Bundle: There are multiple bundle offers available with different storage sizes and case colors, but the gist of it is a Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (which is my favorite!), a cover/case, and a wireless charging dock. If you’re looking to replace your Kindle or get your first one, I think this is a great buy!
The Sling Bag Bundle: So this is another Kindle Paperwhite deal, but this instead offers Kindles of varying sizes and colors with a Kindle sling bag which I didn’t even know was a thing! However, some of these bundles include a case and others do not. Although I think Kindles are pretty sturdy, I would still want a case for my own state of mind.
If you’re interested, you can find the Kindle bag here. I’m kind of surprised it took Amazon this long for a bag like this. The last time I bought a bag, I specifically made sure my Kindle could fit in it!
There’s a sale for everyone this President’s Day, and while it’s a good time to make some big purchase items, there are also some “treat yourself” kind of buys.
