We’re into the final hours of Amazon’s spring sale, with the bell due to ring on the internet giant’s Spring Deal Days event at 11.59pm on Monday night (March 25). Our shopping experts have analysed thousands of deals over the last five days, bringing our readers the pick of discounts that don’t only represent the biggest savings but are also on products we know are worth your time and hard-earned money.
These are 2024’s unmissable Spring Deal Days bargains picked by the Mirror Choice team as being absolutely worth buying, whether you’re stocking up on groceries, upgrading your tech, in need of a new airfryer or planning a holiday.
1) Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K - £34.99, was £59.99
As ever, some of the best deals of Amazon sales on their own-branded tech - to the extent we’d hesitate to ever pay full price on an Alexa device , Ring doorbell or Kindle Fire tablet , all of which, inevitably, have solid discounts for Spring Deal Days too.
But the standout Amazon device bargain is the brand’s Fire TV Stick 4K and supercharged Fire TV Stick 4K Max , both of which are now the cheapest they’ve been since they were launched with much fanfare last autumn. Not sure if it’s worth paying £15 extra for the higher spec version? It gets Mirror tech expert Dave Snelling’s vote. He says: "Having put many of the latest Fire TV Sticks through their paces there's no question that the new 4K Max is top dog when it comes to streaming. It gets more power under its curvaceous design along with improved Wi-Fi 6E technology which reduces the chance of your nightly boxset binge grinding to an annoying halt.”
2) Apple AirPods - £99, were £129
These 2nd Gen beauties are at their lowest ever price, reduced to £99 which is a chunky £30 off. There are big savings on plenty of slightly less premium branded earbuds in the sale, our tech experts have also flagged Soundcore by Anker and Sony options as being great buys, but Apple devotees know there’s nothing that works as easily straight out of the box with iPhones, iPads. Macs and Apple Watches alike.
3) Samsung Galaxy Buds FE - £69, were £99
Don't worry Android fans, we've got you covered too, as Samsung has also busted out a record-breaking low price on their flagship comfort fit wireless earbuds tech for the occasion. This makes the Galaxy Buds even cheaper than the Apple version and with a longer battery life and generous two-year warranty.
4) Amazon Music Unlimited - £0, normally £29.97
No, that wasn't a typo. As the song says, the best things in life are free and you can actually listen to it - and millions more tracks from huge music stars - without having to pay a penny for three whole months, perfect if you have bought some new earbuds. The offer is one of a host of freebies Amazon rolled out to mark their Spring Deal Days - there's also free Kindle Unlimited for keen readers and a 99p Audible offer that the team's Narin Flanders cracked and picked up to listen to the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer Audible Original story .
5) Ryanair friendly cabin bag - £9.99, was £12.99
Yes, we've been eyeing up the huge discounts knocking up to £100 off fancy Antler luggage in their spring sale too, but sometimes you just want something reliable that will do the job. The viral Narway carry-on went viral last year (actually at a higher price) and has the perfect dimensions (40 x 20 x 25cm) to ensure you don't get stung for hold baggage fees on a flight. It comes in a range of cheery colours and prints that mean you'll never lose it in a crowd and, when our reviewer Lea Dzifa Seeberg bought one , she managed to get a fortnight’s worth of clothes into it - describing it as having ‘Mary Poppins qualities bordering on sorcery.’ We don’t think she’s wrong.
6) Tile Mate Tag - £15.99, was £19.99
Whether you've gone high-end or bargain on your luggage, the last thing you want is to lose it en route to your holiday. The Tile Mate tracker is a Bluetooth device that has been reduced to £15, works with Android and iOS and has become a travel essential for tech writer Harriet Morphy-Morris after she put it head-to-head with Apple Airtags (also currently on sale but still nearly double the price at £29 ) on a recent break. She says: "This simple £15 gadget should be a staple in your case. Using Bluetooth, the Tile Tracker lets off a trackable personal network you can sync to your phone. If you lose sight of your bag, you can simply click 'find tag' in the app and the network will ping out and share the location with you.”
7) Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner - £79, was £129.99
Lovingly called 'Shelly' by cleaning guru Mrs Hinch, who uses the Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner for everything from hoovering up crumbs on the toaster to making sure her skirting boards are spick and span, this is one of a host of Shark models reduced and is currently 39% off . If you want something with a bit more power, Shark's corded Anti-Hair wrap model is currently £149 off although if you miss the sale, Shark is matching it as part of their own Easter deals .
8) PS5 Slim - £409, but there’s a handy way to get an extra £20 off
Paging all gamers. Historically we've found deals on consoles for these kind of Amazon sale events a bit lacklustre, with the biggest savings being in bundles, peripherals and games. Not this time, there's been a surprising number of tempting gaming deals but the one to write home about brings the Playstation 5 Slim, the newest iteration of the iconic console, down to its lowest ever price in the UK - so long as you do one thing. Amazon's initial spring discount takes it down to £409 , the same price as Currys , Argos and elsewhere, but Prime members can get an additional £20 off. Not a member? Don't worry. Sign up for a free 30-day trial , do your shopping and cancel the membership after and you've still snagged your dream gadget for £389 .
9) Meta Quest 2 - £199, was £249
VR is the next big development in gaming and last Christmas saw headsets some of the most-wished-for gifts in older children and grown-ups alike. But if you're not sure if it's for you and want to dip a toe in without spending huge amounts, this 20% off deal on the Meta Quest 2 is a great place to start and the cheapest ever price for the tech. Reviews Editor Stacey Dutton bought one for her son last Christmas and he declared it his 'favourite ever' present . She says: "As a family we have loved having the Meta Quest 2 , it's meant we spend more time chilling out and taking turns playing together, which is increasingly rare with an 11-year-old.”
10) COSRX Snail Mucin Hydrating Serum - £11.09, was £21.99
Now this wasn't on our bingo card of sale bestsellers (and don’t even get us started on the bee venom wrinkle cream ), but hundreds of our readers have snapped up this half price COSRX skin serum made of snail slime and Hyaluronic acid so far. Devotees describe the Korean skincare staple as 'a facelift in a bottle' which mimics the results of Botox and more than 76,000 reviews on Amazon agree. Writer Lucy Farrell bought her first bottle on Black Friday and seven months later is a convert. She says: "After being patient and consistent with the serum , I can see that my skin has a lasting glow without looking greasy and my overall skin tone has become more balanced."
11) Ninja Speedi - £140, was £249.99
It wouldn’t be an Amazon sale without hefty discounts on air fryers and this one is no different, although Ninja has also launched their own Easter version . While you can get both the Air Fryer Max Pro and Woodfire Outdoor BBQ at huge discounts, the Speedi is our top pick. Not only does the huge £110 discount take it to the lowest ever price since launch but writer Narin Flanders describes it as a ‘game changer for mid-week meals.’ She explains: “The Ninja Speedi is basically the kitchen gadget for people who don't have the time or inclination to regularly use kitchen gadgets. I've found this the least intimidating and most versatile kitchen gadget I've ever owned - and you don't have to be a Masterchef to get great results with it.”
12) Karcher Window Vac - £49.99, was £79.99
Another Mrs Hinch approved gadget, this has topped the sales chart all week after being reduced to its lowest ever price and shopping writer Narin Flanders knows why. She says: “Last winter the condensation in our house was relentless, miserable and made every morning feel like a particularly damp Groundhog Day. After one of my children drew a smiley face in the condensation, leaving inevitable fingerprints on the glass even once I'd wiped the moisture away, I cracked and bought the Karcher window vac. I use it daily and it’s excellent.”
The Amazon exclusive version, which is discounted by 38% , comes with two nozzles, microfibre cloth and cleaning solution but if you don’t need the additional attachments you can buy a similar product from Karcher directly for £5 less .
13) Karcher K2 Horizontal Pressure Washer - £59.99, was £89.99
If you are thinking of venturing into the garden next weekend then it's a great time to pick up a jet washer to give the patio a spruce. The fact that this Karcher washer is currently on £10 more than their window vac is remarkable and, for the price , this is an absolute steal even before you factor in the brand name.
The 120 bar pressure isn't going to deep clean ingrained dirt but it's the perfect option for washing the winter off any garden furniture before you use it this spring. Not sure you want to expend the energy to sort your patio or at least want to kick start the clean? Several of the Mirror shopping team have picked up Wet and Forget Mould, Lichen and Algae Remover in their Amazon orders this week having had success with it on driveways and patios. Word to the wise though, it takes a while to work so if you want results for Easter you’ll be better off jet washing .
14) Soaraise Powerbank - £19.99, was £26.99
Now bear with us, it might not be the most exciting of options but with festival season coming it's a great time to make sure you've got the kit you need to ensure you don't run out of charge out and about this summer. This huge capacity powerbank has four fast charging USB outputs perfect for giving multiple devices a boost simultaneously and enough juice to charge an iPhone up to eight times and it has a LCD display so there’s no guesswork involved in whether it’ll last the distance.
Worried it's a bit too chunky for your bag or don't need something to keep you going for days at a time? This smaller capacity Anker bank is 23% off right now and comes in USB-C and Apple lightning versions and plugs right into your phone, no cable required. Full disclosure: Several members of the team have bought these already.
15) Remington Shine Therapy Hair Straighteners - £24.99, was £79.99
These Vitamin E and Argan oil enriched straighteners have caused a stir on socials with fans describing them as better than ghds and hairdressers even ditching their Cloud Nines for them. Beauty writer Bethan Shufflebotham put them head to head with some of the biggest names and said they'd given them a run for their money. She says: " The device made light work of giving me pin-straight locks without leaving my bleached hair feeling dry as has previously been the case when styling my hair with heat. In fact, it was left feeling really moisturised and glossy."
16) Cadbury Dairy Milk Hamper - £12, was £14.62
If you've not done your Easter shopping yet (or maybe you have and you just like chocolate, who are we to judge?) this huge 1kg gift box is our top pick if you're looking for a bargain gift. While there are lots of foodie gifts priced cheaper than the supermarket in the sale which could comfortably be delivered in time for the long weekend, from Lindt balls to bulk boxes of chocolate biscuits and a 167-piece Kinder collection big enough to cater for any Easter hunt, this Dairy Milk hamper is beautifully packaged and comes with full-size bars and pouches of some of Cadbury's most popular flavours.
17) Stella Artois - £14.25 for 18 440ml cans
If your Easter plans involve good friends, footie and a barbecue then there are some incredible discounts on beer, that will not only save you money compared to buying them in major supermarkets but also mean you don’t have to lug them home. Tom Capon has crunched the numbers on everything from Guinness to Corona and Heineken but the best value option is arguably a crowd-pleaser - you can get 18 cans of Stella for £14.25 , which works out as cheaper than ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury. We’ll drink (responsibly) to that.
18) Dr Marten Cambridge Fisherman Sandals - £65.60
If it's starting to feel like sandal season then these Dr Marten Cambridge Fisherman Sandals might just catch your eye in the way they did our fashion writer Eve Rowlands. Reduced to half price from £110, these vegan leather shoes are her top tip . She explains: "As a proud owner of these exact shoes , I can confirm this deal is one worth taking advantage of because not only are the chunky, platform sandals incredibly stylish with their patent finish and go with quite literally any outfit - casual or classy - they are super comfortable from the get go.
"I remember sliding my feet into them when I first opened the box and, no exaggeration, it was like walking on clouds thanks to their bouncy sole and arched footbed."
19) Vera Wang Princess Eau de Toilette - £22, was £60
There's plenty of Amazon Spring Deal Days fragrance deals including BOSS Bottled Night and Marc Jacobs Daisy , but our top pick if you're looking for a fresh scent for spring is Vera Wang Princess , which has been reduced by a huge £38 for the duration of the sale. Shopping writer Shani Cohen explains why: "With top notes of water lily, golden apricot and mandarin meringue and base notes of vanilla chiffon, amber and forbidden woods, it offers the perfect fruity, floral mix with a hint of mystery."
20) 712 Slim Fit Women’s Levi’s - £56.56
DMs aren't the only fashion heavy hitters that have reduced their prices in the sale. We've spotted Crocs and Skechers joining in, while another great option is these 712 Levi's which have been described as ' the best jeans ' and are now less than £60 a pair . Prices vary depending on size and colour, they all have a flattering high rise waist-line and ankle-grazing length, ranging from waist sizes 24 to 34 and lengths 28-34.
21) PUMA Rebound Low Sneaker - £41.25, was £55
Whether you're tempted by them for sport or style reasons, sneaker fans can bag a bargain with these superb trainers as long as they act quickly. The shoes are made of soft, breathable material on cushioned soles, with the classic PUMA design and iconic Formstripe. This is another purchase several of the team have made during the week - and at this price why not? Just make sure you use the shoe sizing guide to make sure you get the right pair rather than risk having to return them and buy in a different size missing out on the discount.
When do Amazon Spring Deal Days end?
We are in the home straight for 2024's Amazon spring sale. The event, renamed Amazon's Big Deal Days for this year, started at one minute past midnight on Wednesday (March 20) and runs until 11.59pm on Monday, March 25.
