5 Home Finds a Lifestyle Writer Is Actually Buying This Memorial Day Weekend

From cozy upgrades to statement pieces, these are the real-life Memorial Day sale picks going in my cart.

Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer. As May comes to a close, it’s time for sun-filled days, trips to the beach, BBQs, picnics, and iced coffees. While I’m looking forward to the activities of the season just as much as the next person, I’m more excited about the holiday sales. Each year I put together a Memorial Day shopping guide, bookmarking my favorite items online to snag when the sales start.

It’s the perfect time to find large items like electronics, outdoor furniture, and rugs at discounted prices. But holiday sales aren’t limited to big-ticket items. I love sourcing smaller pieces to spruce up my home—think bed linens, towels, mirrors, and artwork. Not only are the Memorial Day sales packed with items, but I’m also able to stock up on upgrades for every room.

This year is no different. As I’ve begun to settle into my apartment, finding quality items is essential for making it feel like home. With the holiday just around the corner, there are a few items I have my eye on, including mushroom lamp (inspired by a coworker’s chrome find) and spa-quality bathrobe. Below, see everything I’ll be shopping this Memorial Day, from home decor to furniture and accessories.

Memorial Day Shopping Guide

Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe

As a longtime fan of Brooklinen's Super-Plush towels, this robe has been on my radar for months. Like the towels, it's crafted from 100% Turkish cotton and made to have the same soft, luxurious feeling. The oversized fit with cuffed sleeves and pinstripe design also has a spa-like look that will take my bathroom and shower experience to the next level.

Beast B10R Blender

Small kitchens with limited counter space require compact appliances that are just as efficacious as their larger counterparts. This blender is a prime example and packs a powerful punch for blending smoothies, soups, protein shakes, and more. It has manual and pre-programmed pulsing with one-minute blending options and a chic ribbed design that doubles as decor. Plus, it comes with a carry cap, straw, and sipping lid for drinks on the go.

Bocana Storage Side Table

This stunning side table is the ultimate multi-tasking piece. It features a drum shape with chic rattan weaving and a stained oak finish and works well in the living room, bedroom, or office. But the design is also ideal for discreetly storing an assortment of items, including throws and blankets, toys, and more.

Enoki Black Dome Table Lamp

I fell in love with this silhouette after seeing my co-worker's chrome mushroom lamp and have been searching for a similar style. This option, designed by Studio ANANSI, pairs the simple shape with matte black sandstone to create a modern and timeless piece. From the natural material to the soft curves, it's the kind of lamp that makes a subtle statement without going too far.

Love Notes Juice Glass

Fun fact about me: I love glassware, and in my opinion, you can never have too many styles. These glasses are adorned with popular French quips about love and feature bold colors perfect for al fresco dining. They're handblown for a one-of-a-kind shape and add charm to any table or picnic blanket.
