In today’s midday sweep of the internet’s collective sales bins, we found a bunch of giftable Mother’s Day picks, whether your mom prefers roses or wine, along with some warm-weather gifts for yourself, like lawn games and not-too-schlubby shorts.

In addition to groceries and toilet paper, sommelier-approved wine can be delivered right to your front door, and this electric wine opener and stopper will help you open any bottle and, on the off-chance you don’t finish it in one sitting, preserve it, too.

JLab Audio Bluetooth headphones are known for their long-lasting battery and “clear sound,” meaning you can get through a full day of Zoom meetings without needing to recharge.

According to our beauty writer Rio Viera-Newton, Tom Ford’s highlighters are worth the money, even at full price, if you’re looking for a well-rested glow, but right now, the brand’s highlighter-blush combo is 30 percent off at Neiman Marcus.

This liquid highlighter is available in two shades, depending on if you’d prefer a more bronze (pictured here) or iridescent glow.

This box of real, but preserved, roses from Venus et Fleur is guaranteed to last a year, and though it’s still a splurge, we rarely see it on sale. (If you’re looking for something a little less expnsive for Mother’s Day, there’s lots of other on-sale options up to 30 percent off at Neiman Marcus with the code TREATMOM.)

Wayfair is donating 10 percent of the profits from their save-big, give-back sale to the Feeding America COVID-19 Response Fund. This Nordic lawn game, which is like a combination of bowling and horseshoes, is included in the sale, and you can play it in your backyard or neighborhood park (at a distance from others, of course).

Just over $100 for this lightweight, goose-down comforter is a pretty good deal, especially since it will make hot and humid summer nights a little more bearable.

We think indoor shorts will be the sloungewear of this summer, and this $22 pair (which comes with an elastic waist for maximum comfort) is one of hundreds of sale-on-sale items that are an additional 50 percent off with the code BIGTIME.

When it comes to finding lightweight outerwear for our current transitional weather, Chris Black recommends chore-style coats, like this $55 denim pick.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
