Now that spring is finally here, we can all take a breath of fresh air and enjoy the sun and all the things this season has to offer. We are most excited about a spring full of savings, of course! It’s also important to keep in mind that Tax Day is just around the corner, so it’s time to prepare, get your filing over with and patiently wait for your return.
Plus, April is the month of Easter and Earth Day so keep an eye out for deals on pretty pastels and environmentally friendly brands and essentials. To help you make the most of the savings this month has to offer, we’ve added deals to our interactive calendar above so you can access a deal directly or add a reminder to your own calendar. We’ve also used our internal discount data to calculate the average discounts shoppers can expect to find in April.

1. Photography Services (Average Discount: 44% Off)
With Mother’s Day coming up before we know it, our favorite photo printing and gift sites will start to have sales later this month. Keep in mind that you’ll need to order customized gifts ahead of time before the holiday gets too close to allow time for production and shipping (so you don’t have to pay any costly rush charges.) Keep an eye out for deals and coupon codes and if you see an offer for unlimited pages in a photo book, be sure to jump on it.
Check out these brands for your photo gift needs:
2. Tax Software (Average Discount: 27% Off)
If you haven’t already filed your taxes, it’s not too late and you’re not alone! Make the process smooth and simple by using tax software from one of the leading brands. You’ll find good deals as the brands compete for your business. You’ll find free filing options, but others include some expert help which can feel worth every penny.
Find awesome tax software deals from these brands:
3. Spring Clothing (Average Discount: 20% Off)
A fresh, new season means it’s time for a wardrobe refresh! Shop for new warm-weather styles, trendy pieces, seasonal shades and more. Even though we’re newly into spring, many retailers will start to shift into summer fashion, so you’ll find spring wear hitting the sale racks just in time for you to show it off as you enjoy the lovely weather with your friends and family.
We love doing wardrobe upgrades with these brands:
4. Gifts (Average Discount: 18% Off)
Since Mother’s Day is coming up, it’s not just photo gifts that are marked down. You can find great deals on all kinds of thoughtful items that the special lady in your life will enjoy. Keep an eye out at department stores, jewelry brands, florists and more to find something sweet and special.
Shop thoughtful gifts from these brands and retailers now:
5. Home & Garden (Average Discount: 15% Off)
Luckily, brands make it easy to do a spring home refresh in April. Expect to see discounts on outdoor furniture, gardening essentials and grills too. Your favorite retailers will even be pushing out sales that help you with your spring cleaning endeavors too. Plus, around Earth Day you’ll likely see some markdowns on energy-efficient appliances and lightbulbs.
(Don’t worry if you need some outdoor gear but your budget isn’t ready. The end of summer tends to be a good time for similar deals, so you can start saving up now.)
Here are some Home & Garden retailers we recommend:
Honorable Mention: Easter Products
Since Easter is in April this year, keep in mind that holiday-related items have the best prices the day after the holiday itself (so with Easter on April 20 this year, head to the stores on April 21.) You can either throw a fun belated Easter bash, stock up on egg and bunny-shaped candies to enjoy throughout spring or tuck away fun decor and other seasonal essentials for next year.
