My Mom Can’t Wait to Shop Amazon’s Memorial Day Weekend Sale, and She’s Eyeing These 8 Deals

Memorial Day is finally here, marking the unofficial start of summer. Many of us are spending the day at the beach or by the barbecue with friends, celebrating and soaking up the sun — and Amazon is getting in on the fun by slashing prices on top kitchen brands. With so many options to choose from, I turned to the best shopper I know for advice: my mother. 

My mom’s kitchen is decked out with top-tier tools and appliances, and she loves a good deal, so it’s no surprise that her Amazon cart is already full of gems from All-Clad, Ninja, and Ember. Read on to shop her picks, starting at just $5.

Mom-Approved Amazon Memorial Day Sales

Bear Food Processor

My mom’s idea of a “quick and easy” lunch is a chopped salad with fresh, homemade dressing. But making dressing always takes longer than she expects, which is why she’s snagging this genius food chopper. The food processor comes with two bowls to choose from, depending on the size of your batch. She plans to use the 0.6 liter for chopping garlic and the 2 liter bowl to puree vinaigrettes faster. It comes with two sets of ultra-sharp stainless steel blades and a 400 watt motor, so it’s sure to make quick work of mincing, chopping, and blending salad dressings.

Ateco Offset Spatula

As a former baker, my mom has every cookie cutter, cake pan, and icing implement you can imagine. Her favorite, though, is her offset spatula. While she initially bought it for spreading icing, it comes in handy on an everyday basis for spreading condiments on sandwiches, flipping pancakes and fried eggs, and leveling ingredients. In fact, she loves hers so much that she’s buying a second one. Grab yours while it’s 23% off.

Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker

My mom and I have decided that this is the summer we master the art of homemade ice cream. We’ve attempted making our own ice cream before but never achieved the perfect texture. She’s been coveting the Ninja Creami for months, and now that it’s on sale for Memorial Day, she’s finally snagging it. The viral appliance can turn almost anything into ice cream, and thanks to its intuitive control panel, it’s easy to create your own flavors.

Ember Temperature-Control Tumbler

If you know my mom, you know she loves her morning cup of coffee. She savors a single cup over the course of several hours as she catches up on the news and scrolls through TikTok (she’s a fun mom), and thanks to her Ember mug, it stays warm the whole time. Ember mugs can keep drinks at your preferred temperature for up to 3 hours, and she can control hers via an app on her phone. Now that it’s 23% off at Amazon, she’s grabbing the brand’s heated 16-ounce tumbler so she can enjoy her joe on the go. 

All-Clad Electrics Stainless Steel Immersion Blender

My mom is the self-described soup queen, and that means she knows a thing or two about immersion blenders. She makes soup almost every day in the winter and even makes gazpacho in the summer. After years of trial and error, she has deemed All-Clad’s immersion blender the best money can buy. She believes no kitchen is complete without one, so now that it’s 29% off, she’s snagging an extra one to give as a gift. 

Zenprep Extra Large Bamboo Cutting Board with Containers, Set of 3

As someone who likes to clean while she cooks, my mom has been obsessing over this genius 15 by 20 inch cutting board. The bamboo board comes with a slot to catch food scraps as you chop, so she can toss them in the compost bin with one swift motion. The board also comes with a strainer attachment, which is a great spot to place freshly-washed produce before chopping. Now that it’s finally on sale in pink and teal at Amazon, she’s snagging one in each color.

Bidful Magnetic Measuring Spoons Set

My mom has sworn by these measuring spoons for years, and she’s finally snagging a second set now that they’re 20% off. It comes with six spoons ranging from ¼ teaspoon to 1 tablespoon, plus a leveler for ultra-accurate measurements. The spoons are double-sided, so you can use each one for two different ingredients before having to give it a wash. Best of all, they’re all magnetized, making them easy to store together without getting separated. Snag yours for just $8 today.
