A bunch of games are on sale at Amazon, including this UNO remix that can be customized with write-on cards.

We think these extra-chunky loafers (which look similar to our best platform loafer) would pair nicely with flared jeans or your favorite work pants.
Or make this short-sleeved jumpsuit — featuring plenty of pockets and a dusty-blue hue — your new fall uniform.

Strategist writer Erin Schwartz purchased this Dan Flavin–esque tube lamp to counteract a dingy kitchen overhead light. “Unlike other LED light bars or light strips, where you can pick out individual bulbs, the glow of the Hay light bar is fairly smooth and seamless, creating a warm, ambient glow,” Schwartz says.
An exceptionally good deal on an actually nice-looking robot vacuum. This one can run up to 100 minutes on a single charge and can handle up to a 1,000-square-foot space.
Strategist editor Maxine Builder owns a version of this tent and has taken it camping in the Grand Tetons and on overnight sea-kayak adventures in Maine. Builder says it’s “not too big, keeps you dry when it rains,” and is “easy to put up (and take down).”
