Amazon is celebrating Mother’s Day with price cuts across most of its catalog, which could make it easier to find a gift for the mom on your shopping list. Everything from TVs and smart displays to Kindles and Fire tablets is discounted, so you should have no problem snagging the perfect gift without breaking the bank. Some products are even down to their lowest prices of the year.
Need help sorting through all the deals? We’ve pulled together all of our favorites below. Keep in mind that most of these prices likely won’t stick around beyond May 12, so be sure to cash in on the limited-time deals while you can.
$280 ($390)
This might be the best deal of the bunch, as the Kindle Scribe is now down to the same price it was during Black Friday 2023. Only the 32GB and 16GB models are discounted ($280 and $265, respectively), with the 64GB model still listed for $420. All models offer a large 10.2-inch display, include the Premium Pen for taking notes or drawing, and come with heaps of useful features like converting handwritten notes to text, a lasso tool for moving your work around, and a two-column layout for a better reading experience.

Looking for a budget-friendly smart speaker? The Echo Pop and Echo Dot are always a great choice. They’ve grown even more affordable for Mother’s Day, with both products now on sale. The Echo Pop is the cheaper of the two, listed for $20 (down from $40), while the latest Echo Dot is $28 (down from $50). If you want to bring some additional smarts to your home, you can bundle both with a smart light bulb–which can be activated via voice commands issued to your smart speaker.
$65+
The Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5 are great choices for cramped kitchens or countertops, as they don’t require much space yet offer many of the same features as their larger siblings. You’ll find the Echo Show 8 discounted to one of its better prices of the year, while the Echo Show 5 is listed for its best price of the year. Like the Dot and Pop, some versions of these smart displays can also be bundled with a smart light for additional savings.
$65+
Fire tablets are an affordable alternative to iPads and Galaxy Tabs, which often carry massive price tags. These Amazon devices don’t have the same impressive hardware as their competitors, but they’re reliable, offer vibrant displays, and are much nicer for your wallet. The Fire Max 11 is a particular standout, as it gets you an 11-inch screen, up to 14 hours of battery life, and works with the optional keyboard and stylus.
$55 ($120)
The Echo Buds true wireless headphones are down to just $55, which is nearly as low as their lowest-ever price of $50, making this a great chance to grab a pair. While they’re not from Sony or Bose, they still support active noise cancellation and sound customization options like those other brands. Thet run for up to 15 hours with the included charging case and charge fast too, getting two hours of music playback after just 15 minutes. Toss in support for Siri and Google Assistant, and you’ve got a well-rounded pair of earbuds.
$20+
Blink makes some of the most popular security cameras of 2024. Its lineup includes everything from the affordable Blink Mini to the versatile Blink Outdoor 4. We’d recommend snagging the Blink Mini if you need a cheap way to keep tabs on the inside of your home, while the Blink Outdoor 4 is better used out on a front porch or backyard. The Outdoor 4 is easy to install (thanks to a wire-free setup process) and somehow gets up to two years of battery life.
$100 ($120)
The Fire TV Soundbar is also discounted, matching its lowest-ever price. Soundbars are a simpler way to upgrade your home theater than a full speaker setup, and the Fire TV Soundbar is a solid choice, especially at this price. The soundbar supports DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio surround sound and features a compact design that’s just 24 inches in length and should fit on most TV stands.
$20+
Fire TV Sticks are a great way to bring some smarts to your home theater. The cheapest option is the Fire TV Stick Lite, which supports Full HD and gives you quick access to apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and Peacock. Meanwhile, the Fire TV Cube is the most premium option, supporting 4K playback and access to connected smart devices directly from your TV.
$120+
Amazon’s line of Fire TVs is a great alternative to products from Vizio or Roku, offering a nice combination of pricing and performance. The Fire TV 55-Inch 4-Series 4K is seeing one of the best discounts today, as you can snag the screen for just $370 (down from $520). Along with support for 4K, you’ll get HDR 10, Dolby Digital Plus, and tons of built-in apps.
$20+
Looking to build a robust smart home? Amazon has plenty of gadgets for you to choose from. A handful are currently discounted for Mother’s Day, including the Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor for $54 (down from $70) and the Echo Glow Smart Lamp for $20 (down from $30). The Amazon Smart Plug (on sale for $20) might be the best option for most homes, as it lets you control “non-smart” devices like lamps or even coffee makers via the Amazon mobile app.
