A Huge List of Sales: Cashmere Hoodies and Croissant Plushies
There’s so much cashmere on sale this week, from scarves to gloves to sweaters, and our readers are buying it in droves — probably because it makes a nice holiday gift. (I myself bought my mom this Alex Mill cashmere and cotton scarf when it was on sale for Cyber Monday.) Junior writer Brenley Goertzen rounded up all the best cashmere deals going on right now, and I included some of my favorites below. I also pulled out a few of my favorite things on sale that would make good Christmas gifts, which I’ve been rounding up all week.
Speaking of holiday sales, after writer Lauren Ro shared this jellyfish ornament she just bought in the Strategist Slack, I found myself taking a deep dive into Pottery Barn’s holiday sale. It’s a good time to grab some deeply discounted holiday décor, either to add to your tree this year or give away as a gift. Also on the topic of home things, Open Spaces’ stylish storage bins and baskets are crazily on sale — over half off!
There are some decent not-strictly-holiday sales going on too. Junior writer Bella Druckman noticed a couple of Skims bodysuits are half off at Nordstrom, which prompted me to rummage through Nordstrom’s sale section. There are good deals in every category there, including pretty wine corks, stemless wine glasses, and cute duds for dogs (all of which would make nice gifts, by the way).

If you haven’t used your discount at Sephora’s Gifts for All Event yet, do so before it ends on Sunday night.

Might I suggest you use that discount on our best overall hair conditioner? We are in the frizziest season, after all.

Junior writer Brenley Goertzen loves this Skims bodysuit, which is a really good deal for the brand. “It’s compressive yet breathable, and the high-cut leg ensures a barely there feel whether I wear it under a pair of jeans or trousers,” she writes. It’s still in stock in most sizes — XXS to 4X — and a ton of colors; the only shade that isn’t on sale is black.

Miguel’s planner is half off. “I love the way that it’s organized: It has your general planner stuff, but it also includes dope mindfulness prompts to stay sharp, and it has lined and unlined inserts in the back.
