12 Things on Sale You’ll Actually Want to Buy: From Fresh to Outdoor Voices

There’s not much overlap in the contents of today’s sales mishmash. You’ll find deals on kitchen shears, our most stylish cat carrier, and an interior-designer-approved locker that’s excellent for toy storage or as an entryway table. Plus I spotted lots of cool-weather activewear for up to 50 percent off at Urban Outfitters. (And most of it can perform double duty as everyday wear, too.)

If you purchase this trio of kitchen shears, you should keep one for yourself and gift the other two to your favorite chef friends.

An REI zip-up that will keep you warm pre- and post-workout but is still breathable and sweat-wicking.

And here’s a quarter-zip from Outdoor Voices’ clearance bin if you’d like rain and wind protection. (It also comes in black and royal blue if safety-cone orange isn’t your jam.)

You could definitely get away with wearing this stretchy, lettuce-hem longsleeve as an everyday top.

Same goes for this cropped cardigan, which is available in butter yellow and pale lilac.

All of Fresh’s face masks are 20 percent off through October 31. Former Strategist writer Hilary Reid notes that the gel-like rose face mask makes her skin look brighter, and “when I use it at night, I wake up looking slightly better-rested than I actually am.” (Heads-up that the updated price won’t show on the product page, just in your cart.)

Fake a body-scrub spa treatment at home with these exfoliating gloves, which are also effective at preventing razor bumps.

These Elizabeth Arden serum capsules strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier thanks to a ceramide lipid complex, vitamin E, and omega-rich tsubaki oil.

Premium pet-product brand Diggs is offering 30 percent off sitewide through October 31. The brand’s nylon Passenger pet carrier, which is suitable for cats and dogs up to 18 pounds, features a soft, bouncy cushion on the bottom that our writer Kitty Guo attributes to her cat’s immediate infatuation.

Everything at Mustard Made is 25 percent off through November 6, no code needed. We’ve named this hip-height storage locker as one of our best toy-storage solutions, but I use mine as an entryway table to stash hats, purses, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

One final sitewide sale: Use the code PV-2937 to take 21 percent off everything at Fat Brain Toys. Help your 2-year-old let off some steam with this Swiss-designed toy that can be a chair or a balance ball or a hat.

For 4-year-olds fine-tuning their motor skills, we love these flexible assorted shapes that stick together by way of suction cups. (And the gumball-machine-like container they come in isn’t half bad, either.)

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.
