Veterans Day Sales 2025: Top Deals to Honor Service and Save Big

In our testing, Apple’s AirTag was the no-fuss tracker we reached for because the Find My network and UWB precision finding made locating keys or luggage incredibly accurate with supported iPhones. The replaceable CR2032 battery lasts about a year and the IP67 rating handles splashes, though the built‑in speaker is quiet if something’s buried in a couch. It works best in Apple’s ecosystem and demands mindful use given privacy concerns, so Android users or anyone uneasy about tracking may prefer alternatives—especially if Veterans Day bundles drop the $99 price.

The PS5 Slim trims the footprint without sacrificing the PlayStation 5 power and game library we expect—ideal if your entertainment center is tight. During our review, we liked the modular design with detachable covers and an optional disc drive, which makes future tweaks easier. Watch for gotchas: certain Slim revisions cut usable internal storage, the vertical stand and some accessories cost extra, and DualSense battery life remains merely average. At $549 from Walmart, Veterans Day bundles could add even more value.

For a PCIe 4.0 build, the Samsung 990 PRO 2 delivers blistering sequential speeds and excellent random IOPS that kept games and apps snappy in our testing. The optional heatsink (even with RGB) helps cooling and compatibility in tight PC builds, though sustained writes can dip during very long transfers. Pricing often sits above competing Gen4 drives and there have been firmware-related health reports, so keep firmware updated and watch for a Veterans Day price drop—$179.99 would be compelling.

If comfort is your top priority, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen are some of the plushest cans we’ve worn—great for long flights and workdays. In our testing, their active noise cancellation excels at low and many mid‑frequency droning, and the USB‑C wired option enables higher‑quality, even lossless, listening when you want it. They’re $449 direct from Bose and the ANC can be slightly weaker than Sony’s on higher tones, plus the app’s EQ is fairly basic. Multipoint Bluetooth sweetens the deal for multitaskers.

Apple’s 13‑inch MacBook Air with the M4 10‑core CPU feels like the sweet-spot upgrade—during our review, the snappier CPU/GPU and a base 16GB of unified memory made everyday and creative work smoother. At $999 it’s better value than the last generation, but you still get only two Thunderbolt/USB‑C ports (plus MagSafe) and a 60Hz display. The fanless design is silent yet can throttle under prolonged heavy loads, so pair a USB‑C hub and keep marathon renders to a desktop—watch for Veterans Day bundles to sweeten the value.

LG’s C4 OLED evo looks stunning in a dim or controlled room—our experience shows its perfect blacks and wide viewing angles make movies and sports pop from almost any seat. Gamers get four HDMI 2.1 ports and up to 4K/144Hz with VRR, though HDR brightness drops in Game Optimizer mode and direct reflections can be distracting in bright spaces. Some panels show a mild green tint, so buy from a retailer with good exchanges and pounce if Veterans Day pricing dips to $1,269.

The Sonos Era 100 punches above its size, with dual tweeters that create a genuine stereo image from a single speaker—something we noticed immediately during our review. Built‑in Wi‑Fi 6 and Bluetooth make it easy to stream from virtually any device, and the physical mic switch gives privacy‑minded households confidence. Bass can be heavy‑handed depending on placement or tracks, and at $219 from Best Buy it’s pricier than the Sonos One and some rivals. Also note there’s no Google Assistant support.

In our testing, the Roomba Combo j9+ navigated confidently, recognizing obstacles and building reliable maps while delivering strong suction on both hard floors and carpets. The self-emptying base that also refills the water tank slashes daily upkeep, though you’ll still need to remove and wash the mop pad since the base can’t clean it. It’s pricey at $1,199.99 and some users hit occasional app quirks, but a Veterans Day promo could make this do‑it‑all cleaner an easier upgrade.

The Dyson Gen5detect is a powerhouse—our testing showed excellent suction on carpets and hard floors, and the laser head makes fine dust you’d normally miss suddenly visible. Battery life stretches up to about 70 minutes in the lower power modes, enough for whole‑home touch‑ups. The downsides are real: it’s expensive at $1,050 from AllModern, feels heavy and awkward in handheld use, and some floorheads struggle along edges and tight corners. If you want top‑tier cleaning, though, it delivers.

Ecobee’s Smart Thermostat Premium makes DIY upgrades painless—during our install, the app’s guided steps and included SmartSensor helped dial in temps where we actually live, not just the hallway. The large, bright touchscreen and refined design look great on the wall, and everyday controls are simple. Limitations: air‑quality readings are basic and can’t auto‑run your fan, it’s pricier than some competitors, and Siri requires a HomePod or HomePod mini. At $259.99 from Home Depot, it’s a polished smart‑home hub.

This Ninja Foodi XL Pro Air Fry Oven is a crowd-feeder: in our testing, its 26‑quart cavity fit two 12‑inch pizzas and even a holiday turkey, while the door‑handle controls made switching functions effortless. With air fry, roast, bake, broil, dehydrate, toast and more, it replaces several appliances, but it can be noisy and the exterior glass gets hot. Some units off‑gas when new and grease cleanup takes patience—run a burn‑in cycle and line trays while you wait for Veterans Day pricing.

The Casper Original Hybrid blends foam over pocketed coils for better airflow and bounce, and its zoned layers target pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. In our testing, the medium‑firm 11‑inch profile suited many back and combination sleepers who like a balanced feel. Trade‑offs include a firmer feel that can press on side‑sleepers’ shoulders, reports of softening or sinkage over time, and a heavier build that’s tougher to move. At $1,095 from Wayfair, watch for Veterans Day promos.

For sleepers craving pressure relief, the Tempur‑Adapt Medium has that classic Tempur feel—contouring that, in our testing, eased back tension and kept partners from feeling each other’s movements. It does run on the medium‑firm side, so strict side sleepers may find shoulders or hips compressed, and many report it sleeps warm despite the cooling cover. At $1,699 from Home Depot, it’s pricier than many non‑luxury foams, but the durability and motion isolation can be worth it for couples. If Veterans Day discounts apply, this becomes a far easier upgrade.

If you’re ready to skip café lines, the Breville Barista Express Impress delivers café-level shots at home thanks to its integrated conical burr grinder and Impress Puck System for consistent tamping. In our testing, the on-demand grind and guided tamping made dialing in easier and produced more uniform extraction. Trade-offs include an awkward-to-refill removable tank, a steam wand that can be slow for ultra‑silky microfoam, and a sizable footprint that eats counter space. At $799.95 from Best Buy, frequent latte drinkers can still justify it—especially with potential Veterans Day savings.

During our review, the Dyson Supersonic dried hair noticeably faster than conventional models, and its lightweight, motor-in-handle design felt balanced for precise styling. Magnetic attachments and tight heat control help reduce damage, but the high airflow can be too forceful for very fine hair unless you use a smoothing nozzle. The $519.99 price is steep and some owners report post‑warranty headaches, so a solid Veterans Day discount can make this salon‑level dryer far easier to justify.

We found the DeWalt DCD800P1 to be a compact powerhouse—its brushless motor and 6.37-inch head make driving fasteners in tight studs or cabinets feel easy. The included 5.0Ah battery and charger deliver solid runtime out of the box, though the single-battery kit can slow you down on big projects and it’s heavier than many 12V options. At $239 it costs more than basic non‑XR sets, so watch for a Veterans Day sale and consider adding a second battery.

For backyard cooks who want flexibility, the Weber Genesis E‑335 delivers: a big multi‑zone surface for searing and indirect cooking plus a side burner for sauces and sides. In our testing, searing performance and overall versatility were standouts, making weeknight dinners and weekend cookouts equally easy. Be aware it’s heavy to move and assemble, and some owners report long‑term rust and ignition issues. At $1,199 from Weber, Veterans Day bundles or free‑assembly offers can sweeten the deal.

If you’re planning a few park trips this year, the America the Beautiful Pass is a no‑brainer—our experience shows it often pays for itself after just two or three visits. At $80 from myscenicdrives.com, it grants entry to 2,000+ federal sites, including the marquee national parks, and you can buy it online, at entrances, or via partners. Just remember it won’t cover state, tribal, or private parks, nor extras like camping, tours, or special permits. Pro tip: the pass expires at the end of the purchase month.
