Happy 2025 President’s Day! Not only do most of us get a long weekend from work, but President’s Day seems to have kicked off earlier than ever! This year, the best deals for 2025 President’s Day have largely started today, with sales across major retailers like Amazon and B&H Photo, as well as deals on drone-specific websites.
Plus, with the new China tariffs on everything (drones included), now is one of the best times to buy a drone before we anticipate prices significantly increasing. Oh, and by the way, Valentine’s Day is on Friday, Feb. 14! If there’s a Drone Guy or Drone Girl in your life, then show them you love them with some new drone stuff, too!
So with that, here are the best drone deals (and deals on related drone gear) available now, ahead of 2025 President’s Day and Valentine’s Day:
This is a better deal than what’s offered through my own promo code, DRONEGIRL100. Sure, I’d love if you used mine, but honestly I’d really love for you to save even more money and use PRESIDENTS25 to save $140. (And no, you can’t double up on promo codes).
The deal is available now, and you have all weekend to mull it over as it’s good through Tuesday, February 18.
