Amazon Big Spring Sale 2024 Writer-loved Deals

There are few things I love more than shopping, and with the commencement of Amazon’s first-ever Big Spring Sale, I’m eager to take this opportunity to fill the holes in my wardrobe and travel arsenal with some of the jaw-dropping deals available on the site. And with prices sitting as low as $4, I’ve had no trouble finding a wide range of deals that I can’t wait to grab before the event comes to a close on March 25.

As a travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for items that will make my trips more enjoyable, and from a three-piece luggage set from Rockland that’s now 70 percent off to the best-selling and ultra-comfy Adidas Sambas which are just $75, I’d say I’ve succeeded. So, keep reading to find my top 20 picks to shop during this sale in order to score the steepest discounts before they’re gone. Whether you’re shopping for tech, clothing, or travel gear, there’s something for everyone.

Rockland London Hardside Spinner 3-piece Set

Traveling with the right piece of luggage is a surefire way to make your adventure more enjoyable, and now that this trio of Rockland suitcases is on sale for a jaw-dropping 70 percent off, I won’t have to choose which size bag to invest in this season. Featuring a compact carry-on roller bag alongside medium and large checked suitcases, this set will prepare me for anything from a weekend getaway to a two-week European excursion for as little as $49 per piece. 

These durable suitcases are made from a lightweight ABS material that will easily take on the natural wear and tear of travel, plus their multidirectional spinner wheels ensure smooth transport through the airport and across cobblestone streets — and how could I resist this set with so many standout colors to choose from? 

Merokeety Women’s Waffle Knit Batwing Sweater

My biggest struggle while traveling is maintaining a consistent (and comfortable) temperature, which is why I usually stuff a cardigan or sweatshirt into my backpack for easy access on my flight. However, since I’m aiming to level-up my travel style this year, I’ll be adding this effortless waffle knit sweater to my cart during this sale — especially while it’s down to $36. The open-front design is ideal for sliding on and off within the cramped plane cabin quarters, and I love the oversized fit that will keep me feeling relaxed and snuggly even during intense turbulence. Best of all, I’ll be able to dress it up or down, infinitely expanding my outfit options.

Bagsmart Compression Packing Cubes

As a rule, I generally pack for three days more than the trip I’m actually going on — which often results in a severely overstuffed suitcase. So, I’ve decided it’s time to invest in a good set of compression packing cubes to save me some extra space, and this selection from Bagsmart is now on sale for $32, securing its spot in my shopping cart. Each set also comes with a shoe bag that has two separate compartments, which will make it easy to keep my dirty laundry away from clean clothes, plus, the packing cubes are so lightweight that they won’t add any extra pounds to my luggage. Whether I’m traveling with heavy sweaters or light spring clothes, I can’t wait for my suitcase to become even more spacious.

Adidas Samba Classic Soccer Shoes

After carefully considering this trend for more than a year, I’m ready to cave and grab a pair of the best-selling Adidas Samba sneakers — especially while they’re on sale for a mere $75 at Amazon. This simple and wearable shoe will be perfect for walking around New York City this spring, and I’m sure they’ll be the first pair that I reach for during my travels throughout the coming months. Full transparency, I’ll probably end up swapping the midsoles for my favorite Fulton insoles, just to take the comfort up a notch. 

Makkrom Women’s Double Breasted Long Trench Coat

For years, I’ve struggled to find a go-to spring coat — until now. I’ve recently decided that a slouchy trench coat is to be the next major addition to my closet, and seeing as this windproof option from Makkrom is currently on sale for just $57, now is the time to buy. The quality blend of cotton and polyester puts my mind at ease that this coat will actually last for more than one season without falling apart, and whether I’m pairing it with casual sweatpants or a classy dress, it’s sure to elevate any outfit in my suitcase without appearing too overdone.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet

I’ve waxed poetic about my Kindle for years now, but after so much use, the battery life has unfortunately taken a hit. So, considering that the Amazon Fire tablet is on sale for just $65 right now, I would be remiss not to snag it as a replacement. This improved model has an impressive 13-hour battery life which will carry me through a long day of travel without losing access to my books, plus, I can even use it as a screen to watch a movie during my flight if I don’t want to needlessly drain my iPhone battery. Now the only question is whether I’m going to grab it in black, blue, or pink.

Sunany Inflatable Foot Rest Pillow

I have a big trip to Norway planned for later this year, and while I know it will be worth the trek, the last thing I’m looking forward to is an eight-hour flight. However, I’m at the point in my travels where I will do anything to make sure I’m comfortable (no matter how absurd it looks), and this inflatable footrest certainly falls within that category. The packable pillow inflates to three different heights so I can find the best position for my legs that won’t cause hip pain, and it’s made with a soft yet durable PVC exterior that won’t be easily punctured or popped. I’ll even be able to use it in the car once I arrive at my destination.

Musicozy Sleep Headphone Eye Mask

My formula for actually getting rest on a flight is simple: a well-curated playlist and a comfortable eye mask. So, imagine my surprise when I found a sleep headband that completed both of these functions and is currently on sale for 55 percent off at Amazon. This handy gadget contains 14 hours of playing time off of a single charge and simply connects to your phone via Bluetooth to enjoy your favorite sleep sounds (or in my case, Lana Del Rey playlist) without ever dealing with uncomfortable earbuds. And seeing as it has earned more than 10,000 five-star ratings on the site, I feel confident that my next flight might just be the comfiest one to date.

Baggallini Securtex Anti-theft Crossbody Bag

I’m a self-proclaimed bag hoarder, but that won’t stop me from picking up this anti-theft crossbody from Baggallini during Amazon’s spring sale — especially not when it’s 49 percent off and available in the perfect cherry red shade. The lightweight nature of this bag means it’s easily packable and therefore ideal for traveling, and it even features RFID-blocking technology to keep my cards and personal information safe from theft. However, my favorite attribute is the slash-proof material and locking zippers that provide an extra layer of security to this timeless bag.

Anrabess Women’s 2-piece Linen Set

I have yet to dip my toe into the world of matching sets, but this linen duo from Anrabess is about to convince me to try as the flattering and flowing fit is perfectly aligned with my spring style. This pairing will be great to travel with because it opens up a world of styling opportunities while remaining comfortable, and from brunch to a day of tourist activities, this outfit is fit for it all. It’s really just a matter of choosing between the 24 vibrant and neutral shades.

Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-ear Headphones

The Apple AirPods Max have been at the top of my to-buy list since I first laid eyes on them last year, but unsurprisingly the steep price tag has remained a significant deterrent. However, right now, these sleek, comfy, and high-quality over-ear headphones are on sale at Amazon for $480 thanks to the Big Spring Sale, and it may be time to bite the bullet. The unbeatable 20-hour battery life is one of the primary reasons why I have these headphones locked in my sights for travel, but next-level audio quality and active noise cancellation are close contenders. I’m eyeing the sky blue shade, but the green is also discounted right now.

Hunter Women’s Original Play Short Boots

It’s no secret that April showers bring May flowers, and with March coming to a close, it’s time for me to pick up a sleek pair of rain boots to keep my feet dry throughout the spring. I’ve been a  Hunter fan for years, and while I already have a pair of bright red, knee-high boots, these short booties are my pick for the season — and right now they’re just $89. The rubber exterior and reliable outsole will remain waterproof during even the most inclement weather, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that they’re cute to top it off. And no matter your style preferences, these shoes come in 27 colors to match your wardrobe with ease.

AceMining Portable Door Lock 

Living in a big city has made me more cognizant of my safety than ever, and this awareness extends to my travels as well. While I don’t have any solo trips on the docket, this best-selling portable door lock is certainly making it into my shopping cart while it’s 43 percent off so I can sleep easy knowing that there’s another layer of protection on my hotel room door the next time I’m in a foreign place. Simply close the door around the metal fixture and slide the plastic piece into the door jamb, and you’re good to go. It is worth noting, however, that this only works for inward opening doors.

Jall Wake Up Sunrise Alarm Clock

Even when I’m not traveling I like to make my home feel as much like a luxury resort as possible, and this sunrise alarm clock from Jall is the next step toward a more gentle morning routine which will set the tone for all-around better days. Seeing as it’s a best-seller at Amazon with more than 18,000 five-star ratings, I trust that this device will be a valuable addition to my woman-cave, and best of all it’s currently on sale for just $39. Honestly, any money spent on sleep is money well spent.

Frank Mully Knit Ballet Flats

Earlier this year I admitted that I was ready to dabble in the up-and-coming ballet flat trend, and now as March comes to a close I can confidently say that I’m this style’s biggest fan. These knit flats from Frank Mully have made it onto my shopping list thanks to their packable and lightweight design, and the rubber sole is so durable that they can even be folded up and tucked into a purse for ultimate convenience while I’m on the go. They’re comfortable, breathable, and add a dainty flair to any outfit I pair them with — what more could I ask for?

Columbia Women’s Switchback Rain Jacket

My current rain jacket is nearly 10 years old, which means that this major Amazon sale is practically a sign to swap it out for a newer model — more specifically, the Columbia Women’s Switchback Jacket. The feminine and flattering cut of this coat allows it to stand out against other, boxier models, while a waterproof nylon material will keep me dry even while hiking in a deluge. Plus, it’s lightweight enough to fold up and tuck into a spare pocket of any bag while traveling, so I’ll never be left unprepared against the weather this spring. 

Totes Titan Portable Travel Umbrella

Speaking of poor weather, this packable umbrella is another must-have to shop while it’s discounted to just $21 — and it’s small enough to add to any purse or bag without taking up much-needed space while traveling. Its sturdy design and reinforced canopy will remain stable against heavy wind and rain, while strong ribs ensure that this umbrella won’t end up snapping backward and spraying me during a particularly strong storm. Not to mention it’s simply opened and closed with the touch of a button for quick coverage at a moment’s notice.

She’s Birdie The Original Personal Safety Alarm

I’ve been the proud owner of a She’s Birdie safety alarm for several years now, but it’s precisely for that reason that it’s time for me to swap it out for a newer model to ensure that I’ll be ready to go in case of an emergency. This simple device clips onto my keychain, making it easily accessible at all times while I’m out and about, and when the pin is pulled, it emits a blaring alarm sound that will create a diversion until I can run to safety or alert people nearby that I’m in danger. It’s simple to use, safe to travel with, and has become essential for peace of mind in my day-to-day life and when I’m enjoying vacation.

BeeGreen Reusable Nylon Bags

One thing I always forget to consider while I’m traveling is that I might need a spare bag for shopping, grabbing groceries, or even heading to the beach. With that in mind, I was obviously stopped in my tracks when I came across this set of 12 aquatic-themed, reusable nylon bags that are on sale for $21 at Amazon, and it’s safe to say I’ll never be without a spare tote on vacation again. The spacious capacity of these bags makes them well-suited for really any plans that might pop up during my travels, plus, they’re made from heavy-duty polyester material that won’t rip (even after a full day of shopping). The endearing patterns are really just icing on the cake.

MoKo Waterproof Phone Pouch

Since I’m constantly worrying about leaving my phone unattended on the beach when I’m traveling, while it’s 60 percent off is the best time for me to grab this waterproof lanyard pouch so I’ll never have to worry about getting my phone snatched again. The simple PVC bag provides full protection to your phone once it’s sealed off at the top, and the best part is you can still use your touch screen while your device is tucked inside. At $4, it’s an ideal last-minute purchase that I’ll be happy to have down the road.
