Monday, February 16, 2026 marks Presidents' Day in the US - a day that was originally established in 1879 to honour the birthday of the first US president, George Washington, who was born on February 22.
Originally called Washington's Birthday, the name was changed in 1971 to Presidents’ Day and it now takes place on the third Monday every February - and with it being a federal holiday, many online retailers cut prices on a whole range of products to mark the event.
I’ve picked out a selection of excellent deals on everything from portable CD players and headphones, to Funko collectables and t-shirts which you can find below.
But before you scroll down, I've got to give a massive shout-out to Hot Topic, who currently have a site-wide sale on offering up to 70% off a huge range of clothing, collectables, pin badges, quirky gifts and more. There's only a limited time left, so grab something straight away if you see something you love.

There are many Funko Pop! Rocks figures to collect, but grabbing every single one would be a wallet-buster.

While music streaming remains hugely popular, a quick jaunt through social media shows that many people are returning to the good old days of physical media and in particular, CDs. They’re usually available for a good price, don’t take up much space and you actually own that music to play as often as you like. There are loads of great portable CD players available, but I like the R300 thanks to its eye-catching finish and quality. Grab one at Amazon this Presidents' Day

The Sony XM5s may have been superseded by the XM6, but for they remain an excellent and dependable pair of quality headphones. I use my XM5s every day and I’m still not tempted by the newer model because I have absolutely nothing to complain about. They're comfortable for long listening sessions, the sound quality isn amazing, and the 30-hour battery life is perfect. There are four colour variations available, but this 25% off sale price only applies to the Black and Silver models.

The JBL Go 4 portable speaker is so good, I have two of them. Why? Because you can pair them up for stereo sound and they sound brilliant on their own. They’re very small too - about the same size as a pack of cards, so you can drop one into your pocket or backpack for music on the go. The Go 4 is robust little speaker too, and with 7 hours of music from a single charge, it’s turned into my daily speaker of choice while I’m at work. Get one right now with 20% off at Amazon.

I’ve been on a bit of a Star Wars kick over recent months and I’m currently playing through and enjoying Star Wars: Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 (an excellent port). So when I saw the Lego Star Wars Tantive IV set on sale at Walmart, I had to highlight it. The rebel starship from the opening sequence of A New Hope is comprised of 645 pieces and comes with a display stand. It’s also the perfect accompaniment if you have a Lego Star Destroyer!
