Don't get me wrong: I love online shopping—but even as a seasoned deals editor, I get overwhelmed from time to time. Especially during major sale moments like Memorial Day, discounts are seemingly endless, and sometimes it feels like too many mediocre deals bury the worthwhile ones.

Luckily, our team of pros at the Good Housekeeping Institute helps cut out all the noise. That's because each year, the GH Institute hosts various Awards programs in which hundreds of products are tested by Lab experts and consumers. After the test results are analyzed, winners are decided on—and those are the fan favorites (and deals actually worth shopping).

Tons of award-winning products that've impressed our team and testers are on sale ahead of Memorial Day weekend. Below are some standout items that've been recognized in our Beauty Awards, Bedding Awards, and Kitchen Awards—ranging from celebrity-loved moisturizers to shockingly soft blankets, cold brew coffee makers, and more.

My personal favorite item that's highlighted above is the ribbed Bedsure throw blanket (I'm literally wrapped in one at my desk as I type this). I'm not the only one who feels this way, either; one tester said, "The blanket is extremely soft and comfortable as well as fashionable."

Aside from the above mentions, you'll also find a few Home Reno Awards products on sale leading up to the holiday weekend. For instance, this impressive robotic lawn mower is 31% off right now—just in time for lush, green summertime grass growth. One pro contractor who tested it said, "It handles different terrain well thanks to the big tires, and I like that I can just hose it off to clean it." He also mentioned that the anti-theft protection brings added peace of mind.

As we continue to approach the holiday weekend, I predict more and more award-winning products will go on sale. In the meantime, add these to your cart with the confidence that they've been tested and come recommended by our team.
