Presidents’ Day was established in 1879 and was originally called Washington’s Birthday in honour of the first US president, George Washington who was born on February 22. Its name was changed in 1971 to Presidents’ Day and it now takes place on the third Monday in February - and with it being a holiday, many online retailers hold sales to mark the event.

This year is no different, but before Presidents’ Day takes place on Monday, February 17, there are some awesome early deals to be found right now - including 52% off the brilliant Earos One High Fidelity earplugs at Walmart, down from $40 to just $18.99. These earplugs offer up to 17dB of noise protection and feature in our guide to the best earplugs for concerts.

I’ve picked out more great early Presidents’ Day deals below covering vinyl, t-shirts, speakers and more
