There’s no better feeling than waking up on Presidents Day and watching the kiddos gleefully run downstairs to unwrap their butter churners, moon boots, and other presents under the Presidents Day palm tree. And while everyone gets ready to leave out a glass of milk and some audio surveillance equipment for Richard Nixon, let us not forget the true meaning of the day: deals. Vast, hearty deals that fill a virtual gorge as deep as the Delaware River in everything from home goods and beauty to electronics, apparel, and more. Presidents Day is about blowing a sweet, peanut-buttery kiss to Jimmy Carter—but at its true, free-market core, it’s about finding savings on mattresses (jump to the bottom of this article for those), home goods, and bidets for your sweet, American peach.
The spirit of Presidents Day is all around you—you just have to look hard enough. It’s in the memory-foam mattresses and the best-selling air purifiers; it’s in the kitchen, the closet, and anywhere else that could benefit from a little reorganization in your home sweet home. Rip off your Elmo 2024 T-shirt and use it to sop up the best savings on speakers, denim, cookware, and more, because whether you’re looking to zhuzh your apartment up in time for spring, or craving some serotonin-inducing impulse buys, we’ve assembled the best Presidents Day 2022 sales in the game. Enjoy, patriots. [Cue eagle screech.]
