While it's no Prime Day or Mike Horner ArchivesBlack Friday, Presidents' Day is known for its major sales. Sure, most of the biggest discounts are on mattresses and furniture, but there are still plenty of tech deals worth grabbing as well. Amazon's Presidents' Day sale page is overloaded with deals, so we've been rounding up some of the ones we think are actually worth grabbing each day this week. On Feb. 13, there are standouts from top brands like Apple, Google, and Amazon itself.

Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. Be sure to take a peek at our picks from Feb. 11 and Feb. 12 as well — many of those are still live, including a 23% price drop on the uniquely excellent Bose Ultra Open earbuds and over $200 off the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE.

Our top pick: Apple Pencil Pro

$129 Save $30

Although Samsung's S Pen comes packaged with its Galaxy tablets, Apple's requires a separate purchase — and an expensive one at that. Regularly $129, the Apple Pencil Pro is definitely worth grabbing while it's on sale for $99. That's 23% off and just $9 away from its best price ever. The Pencil Pro upgrades the simple stylus with vibration effects that match actions performed on iPads, several new interactive features, pressure sensitivity, FindMy support, and the ability to create customized interactions and shortcuts. If you're the proud owned of the new M2 iPad Air or M4 iPad Pro, it'll take your tablet to brand-new heights.

Google Pixel Buds A Series

$99 Save $24

The Pixel Buds A-Series feature the same solid audio, comfortable fit, average battery life, and Google Assistant as the original Pixel Buds. However, they improve on the previous generation's hardware-related connectivity and come at a cheaper price. Mashable's Alex Perry wrote in his review, "If price and sound quality are all that matter to you, you'll have a tough time finding a better value than the new Pixel Buds." They may not be the latest and greatest earbuds on the market anymore, but they'll still get the job done. Snag a pair on sale for only $75 at Amazon as of Feb. 13. That's 24% in savings.

$59.99 Save $15

Our favorite Echo device for kids, the fifth-generation Echo Dot Kids is exactly the same as the latest-model Echo Dot inside, but packs parental controls to keep things PG. For example, it'll only give kid-friendly responses to questions, filter out explicit content, and only allow calls to specific contacts. It also comes with a free year of Amazon kids+, a digital subscription that lets kids access kid-friendly audiobooks, educational Alexa skills, interactive games, and more. It's usually $59.99, but as of Feb. 13, it's on sale for only $44.99. That's a savings of 25%.

$348 Save $100

Sony's WH-1000XM5 headphones replaced the WH-1000XM4s as our favorites, but honestly, they're only a minor upgrade. The WH-1000XM4 noise-cancelling headphones are still a solid purchase in 2025. They offer top-notch noise cancellation, impressive sound quality, customizable EQ, and a comfortable fit. Our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) gave them the Best of the Year badge of honor in 2020, as well as an Editor's Choice award. As of Feb. 13, they're on sale for only $248 at Amazon. That's 29% in savings and about $80 cheaper than the XM5s.
