The holiday that is "Labor Day" has official significance, of course, but that first September Monday often just serves as the definitive marker that summer is winding down — or as another reminder of how much one doesn't want to labor in the first place.
In either case, annual Labor Day sales can act as a consolation prize of sorts. These typically run between the last week of August and first week or two of September (give or take a few days depending on the retailer) and offer some of the year's best prices on home stuff, kitchen gadgets, and tech devices.
We've pulled the best deals live ahead of the holiday weekend from those categories below, noting when a big brand like Dyson, Apple, or Casper is involved, as well as end dates to the sales if they're available. This list will be updated daily between now and actual Labor Day on Sept. 2 as more sales go live, so check back often.
Samsung's Labor Day sale spans across several categories, dropping deals on devices that could appeal to a variety of shoppers. Those in the market for a new TV ahead of football season can save up to $1,300 on a new Neo QLED or The Frame TV, while those who need a shot of motivation after the summer lull at work can save up to $600 on a new curved monitor or up to $1,375 a new GalaxyBook4 Ultra all together. Large appliances, Galaxy Watches, and Galaxy Buds are also on sale.

Dyson's prices are often steeper (and more intimidating) than competitors, so we like any opportunity for someone to become a Dyson person at a more digestible cost. Through Sept. 7, you can save a decent chunk of money — up to $200 — off of Dyson cordless vacuums and air purifiers, including our beloved Mashable V12 Detect Slim (the cheapest Dyson vacuum with a laser) for $449.99.

If you still haven't gotten your hands on a Solawave, the brand's Labor Day sale knocks the once-viral wand and serum kit down to $122.85 — a cheaper, more compact investment than going full face mask.

Mashable contributor RJ Andersen saw legit results after one use.
