The best President’s Day sales and deals

Happy early third-Monday-in-February, everyone! That’s otherwise known as President’s Day, which was originally a federal holiday to honor George Washington. Sure, it’s a little weird that many stores “celebrate” the day by having sales, but I’ll take a good deal anywhere, anytime. So below I’ve rounded up some of the best President’s Day sales I’ve found, followed by some specific deals we particularly like. Note that The Techy Trends may get a share of revenue from the linked stores and the sale of the products featured on this page. 

Ding-dong deal

Nest Hello: $199 (save $30)

Tyler Lizenby/The Techy Trends

Our favorite smart doorbell isn’t the cheapest it’s ever been, but you’re still getting it for under $200. Just make sure you have the necessary doorbell wiring, and be prepared to pay a small monthly (or annual) fee for cloud storage.

Luxe laptop

HP Spectre Folio Leather 2-in-1 13.3-inch laptop: $1,050 (save $350)

Sarah Tew/The Techy Trends

Tired of same-old same-old laptops? HP’s super-thin, super-sexy Spectre gets a little sexier still, thanks to an integrated leather cover, which makes it look like a folio when closed (hence the name). Specs include a Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. This model is only a couple of months old, and the price has never been this low.

Big TV, small price

Sceptre 50-inch HDTV: $199.99 (save $150)

Sceptre

A 50-inch TV for $200. I’ll let that sink in for a minute. Granted, it has no smarts to speak of, but with three HDMI inputs, you’ll have no trouble finding room for your favorite streaming stick or box alongside your other sources. The Techy Trends hasn’t reviewed this model, but the user reviews — of which there are over 3,100 — average out to an impressive 4.4 stars.
