If there’s any takeaway from today’s Monday sweep of internet sales bins, it’s that fall will soon be upon us: We found lots of cozy, cool-weather-friendly deals, like a rarely-on-sale Madewell trench coat, a pullover sweater for almost 70 percent off, and a reversible throw blanket. And for those who want to get a head start on a (socially distant) Halloween, we found some marked-down kid-friendly costumes, too.

There are lots of deals to be had from Nordstrom’s always-worthy sale section, like this subtle leopard-print throw blanket.

We love silk pillowcases for reducing skin irritation and hair frizz, and this 100 percent silk one — also from Nordstrom’s sale section — is discounted just in time for the fast-approaching dry winter air.

A cozy, textured pullover sweater for those cool, in-between-season days that’s still nice enough for Zoom work calls.

For the Lakers loyalist in your life, this face mask set of two from Urban Outfitter’s sale would make a great gift. (They’ve got Bulls fans covered, too.)

Another pick we found at Urban Outfitter’s limited-time sale, this bucket hat is perfect for 90s hip-hop fans, or those who just want to practice safe sun.

Yet another pick from Urban Outfitters’s under-$20 sale, this sturdy canvas tote comes in blue or brown and features a useful outer front pocket, ideal for a phone, an extra mask, and some hand sanitizer.

Halloween will be here before you know it, and now is a good time to find a costume for kids before they start to sell out. This marked-down Elsa costume surely won’t last on shelves for long.

Another Halloween costume, this one for the Toy Story– or astronaut- obsessed child in your life.

This temperature-controlled, no-slip cup is great for taking warm drinks on climbing trips or just a casual day hike. But don’t dillydally: It’s on sale just for today at REI.

A former Secret Service agent once told us that she keeps this portable power station – which can charge anything from a cell phone to an MP3 player – with her at all times. Right now, it’s more than half-off at Best Buy.

While up-close social activities are still out of the question, there is lots of socially-distancing fun to be had — like birdwatching, stargazing, or plain old people-watching with this pair of on-sale binoculars.

This penguin-shaped Japanese porcelain salt shaker will liven up your dinner table (or TV tray, or wherever you’re eating your meals these days).

There’s nothing like a classic trench coat in the fall. This bestselling one from Madewell is particularly stylish – we like the unstructured fit and lightweight material – and it’s an extra 40 percent off sale, along with hundreds of other pieces.

And finally, a pair of clogs – a Strategist favorite for comfort footwear – for more than 70 percent off at Madewell. They come with a layer of padding on the sole, making them ideal for long strolls.

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.
