Summer is winding down, but that doesn't mean the fun is ending. Now that summer temps tend to lean more toward sweltering than comfortable, fall gatherings are the new summer. That means we still have plenty of time for backyard barbecues, putting an inflatable pool on the patio, and spending a weekend camping.
In more good news, retail trends still think we're winding down with the outdoor activities. That means this is the perfect time to make upgrades with sale prices and still get plenty of use before packing it all away for winter.
If you've been thinking about getting a portable power station for camping, refreshing the inflatable pool toys, or finally getting a backyard projector, consider this is a great time to be shopping. Here are some of our favorite Labor Day outdoor deals at Amazon that'll arrive at your doorstep before the long holiday weekend.
Best portable power station deal
Why we like it
Camping trips don't have to mean disconnecting, unless you want to. But if you'd rather keep in touch, a portable power station is perfect for keeping phones and other devices charged. The Anker Solix C300 comes with 288Wh and four USB-C ports. Anker mentions the capacity of the Solix C300 can recharge a phone about 19 times. Plus, the built-in light is perfect for the campground.
Best cooler deal
Why we like it
Ninja makes some of Mashable's favorite kitchen appliances, and the FrostVault cooler has been a favorite since it launched last year. Unlike most coolers, Ninja added a dry storage drawer to the cooler, ensuring there's a dedicated space that'll keep food cool and dry. It's perfect for easy access to road trip sandwiches and snacks.
The 30-quart Ninja FrostVault is on sale on Amazon ahead of Labor Day for $169.99. With 15 pounds of ice, this size can fit 26 cans.
Best backyard deal
Why we like it
Light up the backyard, patio, or balcony with the Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights 2. The 144-foot pack is on sale on Amazon for only $129.99 and comes with 45 bulbs. The Govee lights carry an IP65 waterproof rating, so you won't need to worry about them getting wet in fall rainstorms. Govee makes some of the best outdoor lights that are sure to impress your neighbors.
