26 Things on Sale You’ll Actually Want to Buy: From Brooklinen to Staub
You may have noticed some posts from our friends at the Strategist on the Cut. They’ll be dropping in every now and again, sharing their expertise on the basics you don’t have time to research and the weird and wonderful things you don’t yet know you need.
The only thing better than a sale is a sale-on-sale, and I found a couple for today’s end-of-week roundup at Hay and Outdoor Voices. Sephora’s semi-annual sitewide sale started this morning for Rouge members — VIB members and Beauty Insiders will have to wait until Tuesday to shop — but if you’d like to map out your plan of attack, I’ve rounded up my favorite Strategist-vetted products here. For a sitewide sale that doesn’t require an account, head on over to Brooklinen, where everything is 20 percent off. Happy shopping, and as always, make sure to sign up for our email newsletter for even more sales coverage — including five extra deals each Friday hand-selected by yours truly.
Bedsure Large Cat House with Scratch Pad
This foldable cat bed features a fuzzy interior and a scratching board on the side. (It also comes as a double-height version if you’ve got several kitties.)
Lego Ideas Tree House
Here’s a really good deal on a massive Lego kit you can build with your kids. The color of the tree leaves can be changed with each season, says senior editor Jen Trolio, who just changed hers to autumn.
Brooklinen Super-Plush Bath Towels
Everything at Brooklinen is 20 percent off for their Friends and Family Sale, which runs through October 30. I recommend nabbing our overall best bath towels, which are a favorite with our readers.
Brooklinen Classic Percale Duvet Cover - Full/Queen
Another one of our best overall picks: This percale duvet cover, which can be found in the Strategist Sleep 100. Senior editor Winnie Yang’s daughter has been using it for years: “The percale is smooth and soft,” she says, and “feels cool and never clammy.”
Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe
Another Strategist staffer favorite is this incredibly fluffy bathrobe that writer Ambar Pardilla loves so much that she convinced at least two people to buy it. It’s made of the same material as our favorite towels, so it’s truly “bathrobe — I go straight from wearing it to lotioning up without needing a towel to wipe away leftover water,” says Pardilla.
Everlane The Organic Cotton Slim Fit Jean
Everlane is offering 25 percent off a wide selection of autumnal apparel. We’ve heard good things about this slim-fit denim for him, which comes in six washes and four lengths.
Everlane The ReNew Fleece Pullover
Here’s a snap-up fleece you’ll live in until April.

Sephora Collection Advent Calendar
Sephora’s Savings Event began this morning for Rouge members, but anyone can shop take 30 percent off the Sephora Collection with the code TIMETOSAVE, no account or status required. That includes one of our staple beauty advent calendars, standard-size calendar, which is a great way to test out a selection of products from the line.
Sephora Collection Eyelash Curler
The sale applies to already-discounted products too, making this trusty eyelash curler just $5.
Outdoor Voices PrimoFleece Full Zip
All clearance items at Outdoor Voices are an extra 40 percent off. (The discount will show up in your cart automatically.) Temperatures are really going to start dipping next week, so here’s a colorful unisex fleece zip-up to prepare.
Outdoor Voices Merino Wool Turtleneck
Keep it extremely cozy with this merino wool turtleneck (that’s still sweat-wicking, so you won’t overheat on the ski slopes or at the subway station) …
Outdoor Voices Merino Wool Long John
… And the matching long johns.
Salomon Women’s Aero Glide
A few pairs of women’s sneakers are on sale in select colors. I’m eyeing this $60 cushy-soled lilac pair, which is about as cheap as I’ve ever seen Salomons.
ASICS Gel-Quantum 180 VII
These gray-and-pink Asics are cute enough to wear as a fashion statement — but if you don’t mind spending a few more dollars, they’re on sale in a few more colorways on the brand’s website, too.
Outdoor Voices Club Crew Sock 3-Pack
Finally, these odor- and sweat-wicking socks, which shake out to just $4 apiece.

Skip Hop Zoo Mealtime Gift Set - Koala
The koala version is just as sweet.
Areaware Poppy Candle & Incense Holder
Candles and candleholders are 30 percent off at Areaware through Monday night with the code SPARK30. This poppy-shaped holder that fits tapered candles and incense is especially delightful.
Hay Sowden Kettle
And one final sale-on-sale: All clearance items are an extra 20 percent off at Hay with the code EXTRA20. We like this kindercore electric kettle, which you’ll actually want to display on your countertop.
