Amazon’s Labor Day Weekend Sale Is Surprisingly Good

Polos occupy a unique space between dressy and casual (like loafers) and that’s exactly what makes it a jack of all trades. Well, most trades. Don’t try wearing this with a necktie.

Save a cool five bucks on this under-the-bathroom-sink must-have. For chapped lips season or folks who long ago lost track of how many tattoos they have, Aquaphor can really come in handy.

Is this the best shampoo in the world? Some GQ testers think so (including yours truly). The formula uses apple cider vinegar and ginseng to keep your hair and scalp clean. Gentle on the hair but strong enough to use once or twice a week, a single bottle can last you up to six months.

You can use this body hair trimmer in the shower, so no one needs to know your carefully groomed chest hair isn’t 100% natural.

Do you love the feeling of memory foam? Then swap out your boring innerspring mattress for Casper’s famous and affordable foam bed. It’s medium firm meets memory foam. With a 100-night sleep trial, if you don’t like it, you can send it back.

Memory foam beds do have one big drawback—the material doesn’t provide the bounce that people look for when they’re in bed but not sleeping, if you know what we mean. (We’re talking about sex, obviously.) That may not be how Leesa advertises its luxury hybrid, but maybe it shoul be..

We don’t often see Kindle deals outside of Prime Day, so this is a rare chance to get the new Kindle for under $100. We’ve selected the ad-free version, which we recommend unless you want to see ads for tacky romance novels every time you put down your e-reader.

It may not be a huge discount, but it might be enough to get you off the fence and into the best tablet in the world. With Apple’s new M4 chip and an Ultra Retina XDR Display, it easily outpaces most laptops. The screen and chip are so good some people are even using this tablet for video editing.

Another recent GQ Home Award Winner, this is Dyson’s wet/dry cordless stick vacuum. Not only does it have Dyson’s signature laser-equipped vacuum head, but it can also handle stains with its mopping attachment.
