It’s time to break out the advent calendars and start holiday gift shopping, and in our end-of-week sales sweep, we found many things that would make excellent presents. Target and Amazon have a ton of toys on sale that kids will actually want, while Nordstrom and Sephora’s clearance bins have luxe gifts for your best friend, mother-in-law, or even yourself. Plus, Everlane’s surprise sitewide sale is still going strong, so you’ll want to check that out before popular colors and sizes sell out. As always, make sure to sign up for our email newsletter for even more sales coverage.
