REI has just added a ton of deals to its clearance section, including kids’ shoes, outdoor cookware, and even puzzles, so I rounded up the best from that warm-weather sales bin. And since it seems like everyone I know is having a baby in 2024, I’d be remiss not to point out that Hatch’s stylish maternity clothing is 25 percent off at Nordstrom right now.

$285

For those in the thick of spring cleaning, this robotic mop can dust and mop floors, and it’s quiet enough that it won’t disturb skittish pets.

If your pillows could use a spring refresh, too, our best-selling throw-pillow inserts are just $7 apiece today.

For fluttery, extension-like lashes, this It Cosmetics mascara is 20 percent off.

Lots of Hatch’s cute, comfy maternity clothing is on sale at Nordstrom, including the dress version of Hatch’s Body Rib Tank that our writer Lauren Ro wore throughout her second pregnancy.

These stretchy bike shorts are nice enough to wear postpartum, too.

For those with lots of outdoor plans this spring and summer, there’s a healthy cache of gear and apparel on sale at REI. Our writer Katherine Gillespie says the bikepackers in her life are “evangelical” about this folding pour-over coffee maker. It folds completely flat so it can be stored in a carry-on without taking up any space at all.

And here’s nice-looking Stanley water bottle that isn’t that Stanley water bottle.

I also spotted a lot of summer shoes for kids for half-off at REI, like these Chacos with ankle straps that won’t slip.

These kids’ slip-ons have grippy soles and would be excellent as house shoes or easy-to-remove travel shoes.

An outdoorsy pal for little ones to tote around while camping.

Finally, if you’re still on the hunt for a Mother’s Day gift (and if your mom is anything like mine), a pretty puzzle is an excellent option. But if she’s not a puzzle person, I found lots of others things on sale that would make great Mother’s Day gifts and will arrive by May 12.
