Any seasoned online shopper will have Memorial Day weekend bookmarked on their calendar. The long weekend falls on a sweet spot when it comes to planning your shopping list — the perfect window of opportunity to nab all the discounted goodies you need heading into summer, and it’s generally a less overwhelming time to shop than Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
More and more brands are offering Memorial Day markdowns that are comparable to Cyber Week, so if you can’t wait till the end of the year to stock up on your favorite perfume or are in desperate need of a new mattress for less, this is an excellent time to strike.
To make sure you don’t miss out on the hottest deals, we have asked the most in-the-know shoppers — aka, the Refinery29 Most Wanted team — to share the on-sale products they will be carting come Memorial Day weekend. From Lululemon deals to designer bags, read ahead for all the purchases our editors are setting an early alarm for. We will keep this story updated as more sales become available (and more discounted products pop up on our radar), so watch this space.
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission.
Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag 20
“After reading several R29-editor Coach reviews of the Tabby Bag and Jonie Bag, and having the opportunity to test Coach styles like the denim Soho Bag and Penn Shoulder Bag myself, I’ve become a big fan of the brand. So I’m super excited to cash in on a rare Coach sale.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer
Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag 20 With Pillow Quilting And Crystal, $, available at Coach
Lululemon Bend This V & Racer Bra
“We’ve talked about Lululemon’s We Made Too Much section before here — ICYMI, it’s a goldmine of rare deals on top Lululemon styles — and something about MDW has me wanting to refresh my summer workout clothes drawer. From breezy tennis skirts to chic sports bras, I’m already planning my Lululemon haul for the summer’s biggest sale holiday.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Lululemon Bend This V and Racer Bra Light Support, A-C Cups, $, available at Lululemon
Away The Carry-On Flex
“When it comes to investment pieces for travel, you simply can’t go wrong with Away. Our readers are always fawning over its rolling luggage, which remains leagues above the competition in terms of lightness and sturdiness. The brand typically only offers discounts during Cyber Week (with wheelies rarely included), but this Memorial Day Weekend, you can knock up to 20% off select styles. I have an Away Medium Checked bag that I’ve been using for eight years, and it’s still good as new. My plan is to also pick up the Carry-On Flex version and upgrade my weekender bag collection with The Everywhere Bag.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer
Away The Carry-On Flex, $, available at Away
Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm
“Elemis’ Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm takes the chore out of washing my face. So much so that I actually look forward to it in the evening. This unctuous cleansing balm transforms into a silky cream that cuts through mascara, foundation and even the most difficult-to-budge liquid lipstick. With this, removing makeup is in no way a grind. In fact, it feels more like a spa experience. Usually, I find it hard enough to choose between the rose iteration and the OG scent, but for summer it has to be green fig, which is so light and fresh. I’ve tried tens of cleansing balms in the past, but my evening shower routine is never complete without this one. Right now for Memorial Day weekend, Elemis is offering 25% off sitewide with the code MDW25, plus a free gift if you spend $130 or more.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm, $, available at Elemis
Coach Outlet Hadley Convertible Crossbody Bag
“I’m keeping Coach Outlet on my radar — not only does its sale section have hundreds of new season designs at 40% off, but you can also score an extra 20% off this weekend (discount applied automatically at checkout). In particular, I’ve got my eye on this summery crossbody. Raffia, rattan, straw, you name it! Anything woven is a hot commodity this season.” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
Coach Outlet Hadley Convertible Crossbody Bag, $, available at Coach Outlet
Jenni Kayne Cashmere Finley Cardigan
“I love Jenni Kayne’s high-quality knits and always use their promotional periods to stock up on investment pieces at a discount. I’ve been eyeing the Finley Cardigan, which is now part of a 20% sitewide sale. The shrunken silhouette and cotton-linen blend makes it an easy warm weather layering piece and perfect for cooler spring and summer evenings.” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager
Jenni Kayne Cashmere Finley Cardigan, $, available at Jenni Kayne
Half Magic Glitterpill Eye Paint & Eyeliner
“Half Magic (aka the brainchild of makeup artist Donni Davy) has plenty of amazing products to try, but if you’re new to the brand, the liquid glitter eyeshadow (which you can also wear as liner) is a great entry point. They embody the versatility and playfulness of the brand, but make no mistake: These are as high-impact and long-lasting as any other brand I’ve tried — and as a lover of glitter, I’ve tried them all. From May 18, all shades will be 25% off for MDW at Ulta Beauty (making them $17.25 apiece) and with neutral and bright shades, there’s something for everyone. I’ll be stocking up on my favorite shades, Pretty Puddle, Goblin and Microcosm.)” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Half Magic Glitterpill Eye Paint + Eyeliner, $, available at Ulta
Calpak Insulated 8L Soft-Sided Cooler
“I’m keeping my eye on the upcoming Calpak sale on May 16, when select styles will go on sale. I’m specifically seeing if any of the brand’s insulated bags are discounted, because I’m looking for a new sidekick (aka a cooler) to bring for beach outings.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer
Calpak Insulated 8L Soft-Sided Cooler, $, available at Calpak
Araks X J.Crew Pajama Set in Viscose Twill
“I love the ease and simplicity of matching sets — especially a gorgeous pajama top and bottom combo made to be shown off, and this Araks x J.Crew pajama set is the perfect example. Araks is known for its beautiful lingerie and underthings and I’ve been a longtime admirer. (I still think about this stunning Araks dress on Zoë Kravitz.) That’s why I was so excited about this J.Crew collaboration. The gorgeous berry color and drapey viscose twill of this pajama set makes it a statement piece while being the comfiest thing to wear in your wardrobe.”
— Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director
Araks x J.Crew Pajama Set in Viscose Twill, $, available at J.Crew
Free People Blake Vest
“I always take big promo periods like Memorial Day weekend to check in on the sale sections of all of my favorite brands, whether they have a specified holiday deal running or not. Free People’s sale section is consistently stocked with a treasure trove of spring and summer staples at a fraction of their normal price. I love this cool, backless top that I can see myself wearing on repeat this summer; with jeans for a casual look or a silky midi skirt and heels for date night.” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Partnerships Manager
Free People Blake Vest, $, available at Free People
Cozy Earth Brushed Bamboo Wide Leg Pull-On Pant
“I have a thing for loungewear: I love collecting it in different lengths, colorways, and patterns, like infinity stones. Cozy Earth hands down makes the best in the biz in my humble opinion. The stretch-knit bamboo fabric feels so buttery against my skin and keeps me toasty while staying breathable.” — Venus Wong, Senior Writer
Cozy Earth Women’s Brushed Bamboo Wide Leg Pull-On Pant, $, available at Cozy Earth
Supergoop! Glowscreen Sunlighter Stick SPF 45
“I love a sunscreen stick, but don’t like white casts (who does?), so I’m eager to try Supergoop’s new Glowscreen Sunlighter Stick while it’s on sale for 20% off through May 19 (and potentially for longer. Watch this space!). The shimmery finish seems especially great for swiping on my shoulders and chest for an on-the-go glowy finish.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer
Supergoop! Glowscreen Sunlighter Stick SPF 45, $, available at Supergoop!
Kosas Dream Skin Duo, $68 $61
“How many ways can I say that I love Kosas’ BB Burst Tinted Gel Cream? I’ve extolled its virtues here on Refinery29 before and even to my beauty editor peers at Women’s Health. But seriously, it’s one of the most skin-like tints I’ve tried. Just one pump is enough to tuck away my redness, blur any skin staining left behind by breakouts and even disguise my dark under-eye circles. Though the coverage is impressive, it feels light on the skin, which makes it a great addition to a summer makeup routine.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Deputy Beauty Director

Kate Spade Outlet Rosie North South Crossbody, $279 $99
“I genuinely love shopping at Kate Spade Outlet stores — it’s always a whimsical feast for the eyes. But this year, I’ll be doing my Memorial Day Weekend shopping online, so I’ve been scouring the website for the best styles and steals. During the retailer’s shoe and crossbody sale, I’m looking to cart up a casual crossbody bag with an attached card pouch for my summer concerts and travels. The fact that I will get an extra 20% off shoes and crossbodies with code EXTRA20 is music to my ears.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Fashion Writer

Hedley & Bennett Chef’s Knife Set
“I’ve been needing a new set of knives for a really long time — mine are a cheap relic from my student days and are getting very blunt. I really like this set, as it comes with a serrated edge knife, a chef’s knife, and a utility knife to cover all of my cooking needs.” — Esther Newman, Affiliate Writer
