There are a lot of deep discounts to be found in today’s sales mishmash, including claw clips, a Kavu travel pouch, and marathoner-approved running shoes. And I’d like to remind you that hundreds of skin-care products are 30 percent off at SkinStore this week, which is about as good a deal as you’ll get on most of those items — so stock up and save.

From $101

We found lots of shoes on sale at Amazon today, starting with these chunky Oxfords from Dr. Martens. The ribbon shoelaces are especially sweet.

These dad sneakers — that aren’t too clunky — are excellent for post-work walks or a casual Sunday brunch. And they’re just $60.

$65

One of our favorite running shoes, the Brooks Hyperion Tempo, is pro runner Nia Akins’s pick for fast workouts. “They ride really close to the ground,” she says, “and have a good amount of support in them.”

Marc Jacobs The Large Tote Bag
From $175
From $175

That Marc Jacobs tote is $50 off in both classic black and baby blue.

KAVU Waspusk Pouch

Alternatively, this teeny pouch for just the essentials is only $11.

Kasa Smart Plug - 2-Pack
$15
$15

With Kasa’s popular smart plugs, you can turn any old plug into a switch that you can control straight from your phone or smart speaker.

One of our favorite self-tanners is 30 percent off with the code CELEBRATE. I like that the no-rinse mist is basically foolproof: Just spritz all over your face and neck, and a subtle glow will develop within a few hours.

One dermatologist told us they use this tightening eye cream that helps address any crepey texture — thanks to the inclusion of “proteins that promote the growth, development, and maturation of cells and play a role in maintaining the firmness and elasticity of skin.”

Chunks Ursa Claw Clip
$7
$7

At Ban.do’s warehouse sale, we found a cache of deeply discounted claw clips and barrettes from Chunks.

If you’re over body lotion but still want to be soft, Rio likes this non-comedogenic body oil that adds “an occlusive layer that’ll trap in moisture in both your skin- and body-care routines.”

For a snow day activity your tween will actually want to do, this fake-cake kit includes real icing bags and tips, plus instructions on how to pipe different patterns of “frosting” and a practice sheet.

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.
