The best early classic deals to shop ahead of the Amazon Big Spring Sale
We’re gearing up for the first major Amazon sale of 2026. The Amazon Big Spring Sale kicks off on March 25, giving us the opportunity to shop the retailer’s best spring deals through March 31. During a time when the price of simply breathing seems to get more expensive by the day, we’re looking forward to shopping deals next week.
Amazon is notorious for offering a selection of classing deals during major sale events — sales that we see pop up every Prime Day sale. These include Amazon devices, Apple products, Ninja kitchen appliances, and plenty more.
The sale doesn’t begin until March 25, but we’re already seeing some nice discounts. Not everything we’re hoping for is on sale quite yet (looking at you, LifeStraw). But if past sales trends hold true, we just need to be patient. In the meantime, Amazon has plenty of great classic deals on offer that are worthy of shopping ahead of the sale. Here are some of the best options to buy today.
Best Kindle deal
Why we like it
The standard Amazon Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB storage comes with a list price of $159.99 but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2025, we saw that drop to $124.99. We hope to see that sale price again next week during the Amazon Big Spring Sale event, but in the meantime, Amazon has the Kindle Paperwhite Bundle on a discount. The Paperwhite (Mashable’s favorite Kindle), a plant-based leather cover, and a power adapter is on sale for $202.97, marked down from the normal price of $222.97.
The Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect spring break accessory since it’s lightweight enough to pack along and it’s waterproof. Plus, a single charge can last for up to 12 weeks.

Best Bluetooth tracker deal

Why we like it
Apple AirTags are a staple feature during Amazon sales. Will we see the first-ever discount on the second generation AirTags? We’ll have to wait on that one, but for now, you can snag a four-pack of first generation Apple AirTags for only $63. That’s just one cent away from matching the lowest price we’ve ever seen at Amazon. At $63 for the bundle, each Apple Bluetooth tracker costs just $15.75. The timing for this deal couldn’t be better since we’re all-eyes on spring break and we’re booking summer travel since airfare prices have no bounds these days.
