Happy belated May Day! I mention this for a couple of reasons. One: Many nations celebrate their "Labor Day" (aka International Workers Day) on May 1, so if you're in a globetrotting state of mind, it's not too late to celebrate by flaking out at work today. Seriously, you have my permission. Two: Traditionally, May 1 marks the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Put these two things together, and what do you have? A great time to chill out and set yourself up for the coming months with some of this weekend's best Amazon deals.

If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. At just $99, this pair is down to the best price I've seen. Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.

If you have "clean grout" on your to-do list, chances are you're not exactly champing at the bit to confront this dreaded task. And I can't really blame you; crouching down while furiously scrubbing away for hours on end — knowing there's a very good chance it'll barely look any different once you're done — isn't anyone's idea of a good time. While you can't avoid the job entirely, you can dramatically reduce the amount of elbow grease required with this nifty tool, which I am slightly obsessed with.
It's essentially like an electric toothbrush for your home and scrubs 60 times per second to bust grime out of those hard-to-reach corners and crevices. Plus, it's down to one of its best prices in years.

This is the latest version of this iPad, so the fact that it's already on sale (for its lowest price ever) makes this a deal worth considering. According to Yahoo Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw, "It's an ultra-light, thin tablet that's powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you're swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before feel like an old tube TV.
"If you've got a habit of toggling between a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages at once, you're in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you're into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame."

The stickier the weather gets, the fewer products we want to slather onto our skin. That's why having a moisturizer and serum in one is so clutch, and this one's formulated with ingredients like aloe, glycerin and niacinamide to help firm and soften while delivering essential moisture. It's also lightweight — a boon on those sweltering days — and at over 30% off, it's within a dollar of its lowest price in years.
Got kids and/or pets? This fire-free find gently melts candles via the heat from its bulb, meaning no ashy messes to clean up and zero flames. All you do is place your candle on the base beneath the bulb, turn on the light and ... that's it. As the candle warms up from the heat of the lamp, it'll release its scent — without any burnt undertones. The dimmer control allows you to choose how bright you want the lamp to be; the brighter it is, the more intense your candle's scent will be.
Another cool feature? Its built-in timer, which you can set for two, four or eight hours before it automatically shuts off. Hooray for more peace of mind! And aromatics aside, the lamp itself is a looker, with its wooden base, gold metal stand and glass shade. This is its lowest price yet. (Psst: It would make a fab Mother's Day gift!)

I own this multi-use, nonstick beauty, and it just might become your most-utilized piece of cookware, thanks to its thoughtful design. It took the internet by storm a few years ago and quickly became a favorite of home cooks and celebrities alike. (Selena Gomez did a collaboration with the brand, and Oprah has called it "the kitchen magician.")
Its ceramic coating is slick and free of PFAS, while the handle smartly doubles as a spoon rest. Speaking of utensils, it comes with a wooden spatula and metal steamer basket that can be used as a colander, and it's oven-safe up to 450°F for added versatility. It's not often on sale, so grab it while it's $25 off.

Have you ever seen a more gorgeous pair of headphones? This Kim Kardashian collab is more than its good looks, though.

Plus, no pesky cords to deal with: They connect to your phone and other devices in a snap via Bluetooth. I've only seen them dip lower than this around the holidays, so snag 'em while you can save over 50%.

Best Amazon deals this weekend: Outdoors
Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or giving gardening a go for the first time this spring, a reliable pair of clippers is essential. Yahoo Executive Editor Nicole Sforza swears by these top-sellers, which she says "can turn a jungle into a primrose path."
She adds, "I've owned them for several years and they work perfectly every single time. They have a soft nonslip grip and a coating on the blades so they easily glide through even thick stems. They haven't rusted on me, either. Experienced gardeners say they cut like a 'hot knife through butter.' That makes them easy to handle, even if you can't garden like you used to because of arthritis or decreased grip strength. A self-cleaning groove helps keep the blade from sticking to sap or debris — a big selling point for experienced gardeners. I especially love the easy-lock notch that keeps them closed when I'm not using them."
Excited to host some outdoor soirees this spring? You'll need to shed some light on your subjects, and these charming bulbs will help turn your yard into the coziest hangout spot on the block. The lights are built to endure harsh weather conditions if necessary, and you'll get up to 6,000 hours of use out of them. Oh, and price-wise? This is as low as they ever go.

This sleek set caught my eye with its modern look; its minimalist appearance suits many outdoor aesthetics, and it would instantly elevate the appearance of a patio or deck. Made of sturdy iron, it was designed with longevity in mind and the breathable fabric encourages airflow to prevent things from getting too sticky.
Included are two chairs, a loveseat and a coffee table, making it ideal for hosting a small group or enjoying your breakfast alfresco. At over 40% off, this set is down to one of its best prices since Black Friday and the holidays. Patio furniture is often marked down during the off-season, so finding an option with as many five-star ratings as this one at such a great price is a true rarity.
Planning any road trips? This popular power station is an absolute steal at nearly $400 off. With a massive 1,070 watt-hour capacity and multiple ports, it's perfect for powering everything from your camping gear to essential appliances during a power outage, and this is the best price I've seen it marked down to months.
Best Amazon deals this weekend: Kitchen
Been eyeing one of these bad boys? You'd be wise to pounce while you can save $80. At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time (though it won't take up too much room in your kitchen). This is the brand I use at home, and it comes with a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. Since it does all of the mixing for you, it'll give your arms a break, and you can let it run while you prep other ingredients — a must when making large batches.
Smelly fridge? Yeah, not so appetizing. But this unassuming stink slayer works for up to 10 years (yes, you read that right) to keep things fresh. All you do is place it inside and, well, that's actually it. Sorry, baking soda — you've been replaced. This little doodad can also go in closets, drawers, your car ... anywhere that could use some stench removal. This is the lowest it's been since last summer, so scoop it up while you can.
Gordon Ramsay himself says this pan "cooks to absolute, utter perfection" — and it's not often on sale. The hybrid design marries strong stainless steel with nonstick properties for a cooking surface that can achieve a good sear while being easy to clean. This skillet features aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel for expert heat conduction and distribution, and it hasn't dipped lower than its current price in months.
An air fryer is just the ticket when you want a hot meal without turning on the oven. This top-rated model heats up quickly and holds up to 2.5 pounds of fries or 14 wings at a time. Plus, it can be used to dehydrate food, proof bread and even bake desserts. This deal brings it down to just $2 more than its all-time low.
Check out our roundup of the best air fryers for more.
I swear by instant-read kitchen thermometers for consistency, and this high-tech option will take all the guesswork out of grilling, roasting and baking by letting you know the internal and external temperatures of the foods you're preparing. One Yahoo writer and her husband tried it out, saying they've "never grilled better meat — it almost feels like cheating." (Check out her full Meater review for more.)
Grilling season is starting up again, so if you know someone who could use a foolproof method for ensuring their famous ribs are perfectly cooked? Look no further. This price is within $5 of its all-time low, and when expensive steaks are on the line? You want to ensure they're edible, or else that's just money down the drain.
Want to make coffee the Martha Stewart way? The queen of all things kitchen says this espresso machine is, simply, "the best." Yes, even though it's on sale for one of its lowest prices in years, you might be experiencing a bit of sticker shock; but just think of how much you'll save long-term on pricey barista-made cappuccinos.
Speaking of ... you'll feel like you have a personal cafe right in your kitchen, thanks to this appliance's 16 precision grind settings, and the digital temperature control helps ensure your latte comes out just right. There's also a steam wand for foaming milk, and the whole process, from grinding to brewing espresso, takes under a minute. Cool beans!
Psst: This model was also named "best espresso machine overall" in our roundup of the best espresso machines.

Best Amazon deals this weekend: Beauty
These top-rated patches use plant-based collagen, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the delicate skin underneath your eyes. They also have a cooling effect to brighten tired eyes, which can give you a more youthful, refreshed appearance. As the brand itself says, "It's like an energy drink for your eyes!" Celebs like Leona Lewis also use the eye masks to retain their youthful glow. Get 'em for under $1 a pop (45% off).
Don't be fooled by the unassuming tube: This is among the most-loved lipsticks of all time. It's moisturizing, universally flattering and would also make an incredible gift. Act fast, though: This iconic beauty staple often sells out, and it's on rare sale.
Not only will this 2-in-1 tool help free up some space in your bathroom cabinet, it'll also be a bit easier on your tresses, thanks to its non-pulling titanium plates.

If you're on the hunt for an anti-hair-thinning solution, this duo was specially formulated with that in mind. Both the shampoo and conditioner in this set contain biotin, an ingredient that can help increase hair's strength by delivering essential moisture to prevent breakage for a more voluminous look. This is as low as this bestseller's been in months, so you know what to do.
Keep those pearly whites, well, pearly and white with this No. 1 bestselling electric toothbrush.
