For leap year, Urban Outfitters and Ban.do are both having sitewide sales — making now a good time to move things from your wish list to your cart and checkout. I also spent some time sifting through Amazon’s deals section this morning and found half-off jeans, a MagSafe portable phone charger, and tons of kids’ toys on sale. And best of all, everything I’m featuring here is under $45.
Here are some non-stretch Levi’s jeans that are up to 54 percent off (depending on which size you choose).
A magnetic battery pack from Strategist-favorite Anker is 50 percent off. It comes in five colors and has a built-in foldable kickstand so you can scroll TikTok and Reels while charging.
We spotted the iconic telephone-shaped pull toy for toddlers for just $7 at Amazon (and $8 at Walmart).
Older kids will love this aquarium-themed Polly Pocket play set, which comes with two micro-dolls and ten aquatic animal figurines.
Urban Outfitters is offering 29 percent off nearly everything at checkout. (Note that you’ll need to be logged into your UO Rewards account to access the sale, but that account is free.) I’ll probably get this sparkly claw clip that’s been sitting in my cart forever just waiting for a sale.
BDG denim is surprisingly great for petite women, says Strategist senior editor Ailbhe Malone (who’s five-foot-two). She likes the kick-flare jeans, which “hit my ankle just right.” And they’re doubly discounted right now.
This teeny mid-century-inspired lamp comes in nine colors, from sage green to a daisy-print option.
I’m interested in this version with textured rib detailing, which is just $7 more.
Everything at Ban.do is 29 percent off with the code LEAP. Our best vegan bar soap has a fresh lemongrass scent and will give your bathroom a pop of color.
Joanna Goddard can’t live without Le Bon Shoppe’s Boyfriend socks, which she says are the perfect thickness for sneakers. (She prefers to wear the brand’s Her socks with ballet flats.)
This excellent mug for bibliophiles holds up to 12 ounces of your drink of choice.
If you’re not one for an overly scented dry shampoo, this fragrance-free (and noncomedogenic) option won’t clog the hair follicle. It’s 30 percent off at checkout, no code needed.
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.
