With plenty of lingering discounts on several Strategist favorites, Cyber Monday is starting to look a whole lot like Cyber Week. Today alone, we’ve spotted considerable savings on some full-coverage concealer for acne-prone skin, a foolproof gift for any kid on your holiday list, and a sizable discount on a best-selling streaming stick with a voice-enabled remote.
This reader-favorite, marker-size filtering straw from LifeStraw will remove 99 percent of bacteria and parasites from any water you put it in, making it an especially smart gift for avid hikers and campers.
Amazon’s best-selling Fire Stick can turn any TV into a smart TV — and this full-HD edition is now under $20.
For the friend or partner terrified by the new chill in the air, here’s 20 percent off a chunky cotton throw blanket from West Elm. It’s available in white, tan, olive green, and charcoal gray.
Also at West Elm, select holiday décor is already up to 70 percent off, such as these monogram-able felt stockings. Even when customized, they’ll still arrive well before Christmas.
“I honestly don’t know where my acne and I would be without this concealer,” says Strategist beauty columnist Rio Viera-Newton. While the product doesn’t advertise itself as particularly good for acne-prone skin, she says it has “never ever” made her break out, and it offers extremely full coverage when applied over active zits.
You can still take 50 percent off Coach’s classic Ergo shoulder bag, which has a zip-top closure, handy interior pocket, and pleasing ergonomic shape. It’s on sale in ivory, camel, and the black leather shown here.
All of Baggu’s astrology-themed laptop sleeves are over 30 percent off at Urban Outfitters — an excellent gift for both the teen who loves to post their Co–Star horoscope and the friend whose office wants them back on January 2.
Also at Urban, this durable cotton-twill unisex shirt is topped with tonal-floral embroidery. The matching pants are on sale too.
Lastly, you can take 30 percent off your purchase over at Ban.do with the code SAVE30. If you aren’t sure where to start, this nubby candle from Areaware — a Strategist-writer favorite — would make a thoughtful gift for a design-loving friend.
