I definitely did not expect so many brands to be having Leap Year sales. Even more surprising is that the deals are actually good: The median discount is 29 percent off (of course), and most of the savings are sitewide. I’ve rounded up the best sales I’ve found, below — including Ban.do, Brooklinen, Jungmaven, Naadam, and Urban Outfitters — but don’t dillydally, because a lot of these deals will end at midnight tonight.
Brooklinen’s bedding bundles, which are already discounted to begin with, are an additional 29 percent off. These sateen sheets are “among the softest sheets I have and only get better with time,” according to our writer Lauren Ro.
Urban Outfitters is offering 29 percent off sitewide. (The discount will show up at checkout.) This goes-with-everything faux-leather purse comes in black, pale green, and bright red.
Futurewise’s Slug Balm is the latest addition to our best-in-class guide to moisturizers for ultradry skin. After using it almost nightly for a few months, our beauty writer says her skin “feels like I locked in an added layer of moisture, and I wake up feeling like that moisture stayed put overnight.”
Since I’ve been doing a lot of walking on my gym’s treadmill this month, I’ll be buying our best overall anti-chafing stick (which earned a coveted spot in the Strategist Beauty 100).
If you need a restock on the essentials, here’s a three-pack of some classic Calvin Klein boxer briefs.
If you’re over Sambas, these gum-sole Reebooks are a nice alternative.
We’ve recommended Vagabond time and time again for its timeless, trendproof shoes (that are also durable and comfy). These chunky loafers have the same sole as my favorite Chelsea boots, which haven’t worn down much in the four years I’ve owned them.
Sofia Coppola’s coffee-table book is on sale — with the caveat that it’s on preorder and won’t arrive until April.
Just about everything is 29 percent off at Ban.do with the code LEAP. I’m eyeing this puffy picnic blanket, which is on sale in three eye-catching patterns: green gingham, an orange tree print, and a Mediterranean-inspired tile design.
Both Ro and our senior editor, Winnie Yang, own these “supercute” basketball shorts. Yang says the shorts aren’t constricting (thanks to the elastic waistband), which she found to be very comfortable postpartum.
I’ve been using these modular coasters for nearly five years now, with minimal wear.
At Naadam, select styles are 29 percent off with the code LEAP29. While I didn’t see any of our best-in-class cashmere sweaters on sale, you’ll be just as toasty (and stylish) with this fringed cashmere scarf.
Here’s a supersoft and stretchy long-sleeve tee for layering.
Jungmaven’s hemp tees — which are beloved by several Strategist staffers, myself included — are 40 percent off until midnight with the code LEAP40. If you’re not sure where to start, this classic white tee is one of our favorite fits.
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.
