Three big sales are happening this weekend. It’s your last chance to shop Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale before it ends on Sunday night, Everlane is discounting its best sellers by 25 percent, and Article is offering deals on all its outdoor furnishings. Scroll on to see my top picks, as well as a mishmash of other excellent deals from across the internet’s sales bins, like mosquito-repelling bracelets, a supportive Tempur-Pedic pillow, and the banana-shaped toy that every cat I’ve ever met is obsessed with. And as always, make sure to sign up for our email newsletter for five more deals handpicked by yours truly.
Keep mosquitoes at bay with these essential-oil-infused — geraniol, lemongrass, and citronella, specifically — bracelets. Each one lasts about ten days and looks “like a hair tie and smells like a picnic in the park,” according to Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo.
Tegu’s magnetic wooden building blocks often appear on our lists of best toys for kids, as they’ll entertain kids of all ages while also promoting early STEM skills.

The undisputed best cat toy is this banana from Yeowww! — it even made the Strategist 100 — and this bundle that includes some extra catnip is 22 percent off.
Best-selling styles are 25 percent off at Everlane through Sunday night. You can find the brand’s Italian leather Day Glove shoes across our archives, including our best-in-class ballet-flats roundup, as “they stay true to their name and truly fit like a glove,” according to Maisonette co-founder Sylvana Ward Durrett.

All outdoor furnishings and décor are on sale at Article until August 7. This Japanese-inspired lantern is available in two sizes, and would look at home in your living room, too.
Strategist writer Lauren Ro purchased this teak patio set last year and says that it was surprisingly easy to assemble and still looked great after leaving it outside during the winter months.
