Five On Your Side: The best holiday sales on gifts in May

With holidays including Memorial Day and Mother's Day right around the corner, many have been searching for the best gift sales for their loved ones.

Five On Your Side’s Keely Arthur shares why May is a great time to find these sales for you and your mom.

For those who love jogging, tracking your exercise routine can be accessible through the Fitbit Luxe with a price as low as $89.95 at Abt Electronics and Amazon.

This top-rated fitness tracker has been water-immersion tested and has passed the manufacturer's claim of 164 feet for 10 minutes.

"Early this month, look for Mother's Day sales on tech devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers," said Samantha Gordon, of Consumer Reports.

People can also surprise their mom with something she can groove to during the warmer months ahead.

Consumers can find the Ultimate Ears Megaboom Bluetooth Speaker as low as $163.98 at Amazon.

After buyers snag those deals, Gordon says they should hold off until the end of the month.

"Memorial Day is one of the biggest sale weekends of the year. Once we get a little bit closer to the middle of the month, start searching for sales on that refrigerator or mattress you've had your eye on," said Gordon. "You're bound to find savings that will be worth the wait."

For those who are grilling fans, there are good deals out there during the holiday sales as well. The Monument Gas Grill is as low as $652 at Wayfair.

Consumer Reports says this is a good large grill for the money and one of the highest-scoring gas grills in its ratings.

After all those hot dogs and burgers, detox with The Vitamix ONE blender is as low as $129.95 at Wayfair. This blender aces Consumer Reports tests in pureeing and making smoothies.

However, if you're looking for more deals this month, Consumer Reports says to look out for sales on outdoor equipment like chainsaws, string trimmers and leaf blowers.
