Labor Day weekend is here, and so are the deals that come along with it. First and foremost, I highly suggest checking out the Good Housekeeping Institute-tested products that are on sale for the holiday. But beyond the items that have been tested rigorously in our Labs, our editors also have their own personal list of favorites they can't stop raving about—and plenty of those are discounted as well (at up to 40% off)!

As a shopping editor, I've discovered plenty of items that've earned a permanent spot in my apartment—from bedroom supplies to makeup and more. I've included a few of them below, along with a mix of others items that our team can't get enough of.

Kate Franke, an editorial assistant at Good Housekeeping, says she been using diatomaceous earth bath mats for two years and loves them. She owns this one from Dorai: "Not only does it make my measly NYC bathroom feel like a spa, but it soaks up water quickly, which is huge for three 20-something women using one bathroom," she says.
