Sales Editor Memorial Day Shopping List 2025 UNI
J.Crew/Away/Anthropologie/Dermstore/Revolve/Article/Amazon/Tory Burch/Design for PureWow

Besides bingeing shows and movies recommended by PureWow editors and eating as much BBQ as I possibly can, shopping is on my list of things to do this weekend. After all, I am a deals editor, which means I know exactly where to shop and save big over the next three days, whether you're hoping to score PureWow readers' favorite dress for less than $75 or secure summer-ready home finds for up to 70 percent off.

Between a J.Crew midi dress ($118; $70) that I think would be the perfect throw-on-and-go look and Nori Press travel steam iron ($119; $90) that everyone loves (including Oprah!), let's just say I'm a mission to buy some of the hottest items of the year during Memorial Day weekend. You too? Well, then, get your card ready, because I rounded up 12 deals on my MDW shopping list, from the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural spray (from $12; $10) to the Article Sanders lounge chair ($599; $479) so you can shop and save like an editor through Memorial Day!

While J.Crew is knocking up to 50 percent off thousands of styles for Memorial Day weekend, I have my eye on this marvelous midi. Thanks to its easy empire waist, adjustable straps and chic crinkled cotton texture, it's the perfect throw on and go dress. I love that it's machine washable and that the stripe print is on-trend. And I extra-love the ruched details along the top, which, according to happy buyers, make a bra optional.

My mom thinks I'm crazy for buying this cult-favorite cream at nearly $100 a bottle (in the smallest size). But as I tell her, this is one of the only moisturizers that makes my skin glow from the inside out. Even the application process feels luxe. It uses groundbreaking stem cell technology, along with a proprietary blend of vitamins and amino acids, to support skin regeneration, per the brand. It's also chock-full of other skin-loving ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, which helps provide plumping hydration. And it's not every day that it goes on sale for 20 percent off at Dermstore (with coupon code SUN) and Revolve (with coupon code BEAUTY20), so you can bet I'm stocking up, and you should, too, especially if you want to be "radiant, blemish-free and so much more hydrated after just a few days of use," according to another PureWow editor.

If you're anything like me, you can't resist a good deal on linen. Needless to say, when I discovered that these high-rise shorts were on sale for as low as $65, I knew I had to buy more colors. I have this popular petite summer style with a double-pleated front in surf spray green, and have nothing but good things to say about them. They're breathable, functional and just some of the most très chic shorts I've ever owned. And there's a matching vest if you want to complete the look for less than $200. Either way, this style looks way more expensive than it is, so you know what to do.

Designed to perfection with a durable, lightweight shell, it's safe to say this 22.7-inch sleek suitcase has a high chance of becoming your favorite travel companion. But believe it or not, the glossy exterior isn't the only main attraction—open it up and you'll discover the brand's signature interior compression system that shoppers swear helps you pack like a pro, whether you're packing for a short getaway or a week-long trip. And, yes, it has a TSA lock, 360-degree spinner wheels, a laundry bag and an underside grab handle (which makes it easy to take down from the overhead), so I'm definitely scooping it up on sale before my next flight. I have Away's 21-inch carry-on (also on sale now if you're interested), and it also makes travel extremely headache-free.

I blame Oprah Winfrey and her annual 'Favorite Things' list for why I'm dying to get my hands on this portable, packable steam iron for a steal this weekend. The compact device has six fabric-specific settings (for poly, silk, wool, cotton, denim and linen), so I've been dreaming of using it without fear of damaging my investment pieces. Thanks to those iron plates, it should work like a hair straightener to smooth out both sides of any fabric, from clothes to sheets, in one fell swoop, no flipping required. And did I mention it also serves as a steamer if you load it up with water? Yep, this baby offers the best of both worlds when it comes to banishing wrinkles, and that's something I need in my life—preferably, at a discount.

This anti-frizz spray went viral on TikTok nearly two years ago because it makes hair waterproof *and* appear as shiny as glass. While PureWow Associate Editor Sydney Meister (who tested it) and I can't confirm its waterproofing ability, we agree that it helped reduce poofiness and made our hair feel extra smooth and soft. That's because its humidity-resisting formula acts like a raincoat for your locks, sealing down the cuticle and wrapping each strand in flex-elastic polymers so you get a glassy 'do free from frizz and flyaways. With summer fast approaching, I can't think of a better time to buy a bottle (or three at Revolve with coupon code BEAUTY20).

If you, like me, are hoping to add some cute and comfortable sandals to your summer shoe collection, let me introduce you to these platforms that are at the top of my MDW shopping list. As one buyer says, "These slides are so beautiful and different at the same time. They can be dressed up or down. The design is just unique and definitely a conversation piece." What they didn't mention is that the platform slide (featuring a mirrored metallic polyurethane upper and a metallic napa leather lining) has a *mismatched* metal hammered coin and plate, so they're designed to stand out (not fit in) while keeping your feet feeling good with an ergonomic footbed

In the process of building your dream quiet corner? Same. That's why I can't skip the deal on this luxe lounge chair that one buyer says is big, cozy and small space-approved. It's available in several fabrics and colors, but there's something extra special about this ivory wool bouclé option. The material is known for being cat-friendly and stain-resistant, so a little spill won't totally ruin this masterpiece (especially if you blot it ASAP). The comfy chair has a sturdy corner-blocked frame and reversible back and seat cushions that look inviting and feel fantastic. Now that it's on sale for just under $480? It's worth the investment. Quiet corner upgrade incoming!

Like almost everyone, I have been dying to get my hands on the viral Samsung Frame TV for a steal. Well, it seems the brand answered my prayers because it's currently up for grabs for as low as $550! ICYDK, the flat screen camouflages itself as a picture frame by displaying curated digital art images and/or your own family photos when it's not in use. And when you are using it to actually watch TV? Well, it's equally impressive, providing crystal-clear 4K picture quality and an immersive sound experience. In other words, it's not just a TV; it's a work of art that rarely goes on sale for this low, so BRB, I'm going to buy it RN.

Guys, these pillows have more than 17,000 5-star reviews that attest to how comfortable they are. I can see why, since they have a ventilated design and medium-firm polyester fill featuring open-cell technology that supposedly provides supportive cushioning. But here's the review that really sold me: "These pillows are amazing. It’s a shame it took me 70 years to finally find the perfect one. Holds shape, is cool all night. The cost was affordable!" Sounds like a win-win to me, so you can bet I'm snagging these must-have pillows (which come in a set of two, BTW) while they're under $20, and you probably should too if you want to look forward to sweeter dreams.

I'm a sucker for a cute and cotton mini that I can wear from the beach to dinner. What's cool about this one is that it has playful puff sleeves and a show-stopping striped print that just so happens to be on-trend. One buyer also confirmed that the flowy frock (with a snazzy stand collar) and split neckline has the perfect length for showing off your legs and will take you through spring and summer. I couldn't agree more, so I'm adding it to my cart as we speak. After all, it won't be on sale (or in stock) for $60 for much longer.

This large tote is going to come in handy for all my summer travel, especially since the brand says it folds flat into a suitcase. But of course that's not the only reason I'm buying it for MDW. Besides the discounted price tag, I'm obsessed with the summer-ready handknotted straw weave, stylish striped pattern and fun removable fringe charm. If you are, too, then you'd better hurry up and buy this tote on sale before shoppers beat you to it!
