If you're planning to upgrade your gaming or office setup this Memorial Day, you’re definitely not alone. With rising concerns over tariffs and potential price hikes in the near future, many gamers are opting to make their purchases now rather than later. Memorial Day weekend is one of the best times of the year for deals on furniture, tech, and accessories—and if you're looking to refresh your workspace or gaming station, there’s no better time to strike.
Here's a smart approach to navigating the sales and making the most of the discounts available:
Start Your Search with Wayfair

Wayfair Memorial Day Sale
17Sort through thousands of home and office deals.
See it at Wayfair
Wayfair has been a standout destination for furniture deals this season. The site offers an overwhelming number of options across desks, chairs, bookshelves, and more—all marked down for the Memorial Day sale. One of the major advantages of shopping here is the intuitive filtering system that lets you easily sort by size, color, material, and price range. Even if you end up purchasing elsewhere, browsing Wayfair can help you narrow down what style and dimensions work best for your space.
That said, while Wayfair carries a broad selection, it may not always offer the top-tier brands—especially when it comes to high-end office chairs or specialized gaming desks.
Invest in Comfort: Splurge on Your Chair
When upgrading your entire setup, prioritize comfort above all else—and that means investing in a quality chair. After all, whether you're working or gaming, you’ll likely be spending long hours seated. If your current chair is worn out (or held together with old sweatpants like mine), this is the perfect opportunity to upgrade.
I'm still deciding between a traditional ergonomic office chair and a dedicated gaming chair, but after reading several recommendations—including those from IGN—the Secretlab Titan Evo has caught my eye. With a special deal currently active during the Secretlab Memorial Day sale, it might just be the right moment to pull the trigger.

Finish Strong with Amazon for Accessories
Once the big-ticket items are taken care of, it's time to personalize your setup. This includes essentials like RGB lighting, mouse pads, headset stands, laptop risers, Steam Deck docks, and other small but impactful accessories. For these types of items, Amazon consistently delivers the widest selection and best prices.
The Biggest Sale
Amazon Memorial Day Sale
While I personally don’t need a new TV, it’s worth noting that Amazon also has some of the best TV deals this season. In particular, the LG C4 OLED has dropped to an all-time low price and is an excellent choice for both console and PC gamers.
Consider Upgrading Your Gaming PC Now
Although I’m not in the market for a new gaming PC at the moment—my budget is tight and I rely heavily on my Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch—if you’ve been eyeing a desktop or laptop upgrade, Memorial Day is a great window to buy. With GPU prices trending upward and new hardware releases on the horizon, locking in a deal now could save you money in the long run.
