We’re approaching President’s Day in the US, and while it was originally established as a holiday to celebrate the birthday of George Washington, the passage of time has transformed it into a day when we distract ourselves from the foibles of our democratically elected leadership by treating ourselves to some of the best deals of the yea.

Whether you’re planning to get a little something for yourself or shopping for someone else, there are plenty of great promotions and sales to take advantage of this weekend. Many products — including the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, LG’s C1 OLED, and Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini — are currently matching their lowest prices ever, while others are just shy of it.

Below, we’ve rounded up the best President’s Day deals we could find. More promotions and sales are sure to pop up between now and the actual holiday, too, so check back here and subscribe to the Verge Deals newsletter for all the highlights later this week.

• Another earbud option from Samsung; the unique, bean-like Galaxy Buds Live are $99.99 ($70 off) at Best Buy. It’s not the cheapest price we have ever seen on these noise-canceling earbuds, but it’s a good deal for a great set of Bluetooth buds. Read our review.
• Jabra’s Elite 75t wireless earbuds are available for $99.99 instead of $179.99 at Best Buy. That’s an $80 discount on a pair of comfortable earbuds that offer great sound quality and the ability to connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. Read our review.

Amazon, Target, B&H Photo, Newegg, and Best Buy are currently selling the 55-inch model for around $1,297 instead of $1,499.99.

Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy are also offering roughly the same discount.

Newegg is also offering the same discount but throwing in a $50 Visa gift with each purchase.

Apple deals

• The 41mm, GPS-equipped Apple Watch Series 7 is $50 off ($349) at Amazon, as is the 45mm variant ($379). We were impressed by Apple’s latest watch, which offers a larger display than its predecessor, faster charging, and IP6X dust resistance. Read our review.
• Apple’s latest entry-level, 256GB iPad is $449 ($30 off) at Amazon and Walmart. The 2021 iPad offers a new, faster A13 Bionic chip and a 12MP front camera that supports the Center Stage feature, which can automatically follow you within the frame during video calls.

Gaming deals

• Anyone in the market for a new gaming keyboard is in luck: Amazon currently has discounts on wireless models from both Razer and Logitech. Right now, for instance, the Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed with phantom keycaps is available with linear or clicky switches for $129.99, a solid $70 discount that matches its lowest price ever.
• The G915, an excellent full-size gaming keyboard from Logitech, is also on sale at Amazon right now for $199.99. The wireless, low-profile board normally retails for $249.99 and can be equipped with clicky, linear, or tactile switches.
• Amazon is offering a number of discounts on gaming mice, too. You can currently get any color of the Logitech G305 wireless mouse for around $39, a cool $11 off the normal retail price. This isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen for these colorful peripherals, but it is a solid value for a piece that’s sure to become the highlight of your setup.

Logitech G305 Lightspeed

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed is a wireless mouse with flair. This vibrant mouse features six programmable buttons and a 12K DPI sensor. The G305 is also available in a variety of colorways and is capable of lasting for up to 240 hours with a single AA battery.

General tech deals

The terrific Android wearable offers a speedy interface, improved third-party app support, and plenty of health tracking features. Read our review.
• While we personally think that buying a new phone without investing in a case should be borderline illegal, we’re not here to pass judgment. Thankfully, if you preordered the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, or S22 Ultra, Otterbox is offering a 10 percent discount at checkout when you purchase a screen protector and a case for any phone in the S22 lineup.
• The Elgato Wave 3 is $119.99 ($30 off) at Amazon. The USB condenser mic has a desktop stand and is geared toward streamers and gamers alike, but it works just as well for Zoom.
• Samsung’s PCIe 4.0-ready 980 Pro SSD is fast enough for a serious PC or the PlayStation 5. The 1TB model is currently on sale at Amazon for $149.99 ($80 off) without a heatsink, or you can get it with the heatsink (which is required for the PS5) for $169.99 at Amazon.
• The Blue Yeti Nano condenser microphone is $79.99 at Best Buy, a $20 discount on its usual $99.99 price tag. This is a fine value if you want a desktop mic for streaming, podcasting, or making Zoom calls but the standard Blue Yeti is too overbearing given its size.
• The Ultimate Ears Boom 3 Bluetooth speaker is $20 off at Amazon, bringing its price down to $129.99. This speaker has been around for years, but it can bring life to any party with its big sound and magical button.
