11 Things on Sale You’ll Actually Want to Buy: From Cricut to Christy Dawn

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’ve started to notice a lot of deals on giftable goodies like a portable photo printer and cozy loungewear from Outdoor Voices. Coffee accessories seem to be in high demand, too, because I found an under-$100 coffee grinder and two single-serving coffee makers on sale. Plus, we’ve got a Strategist-exclusive sale on a Fly by Jing spice set — but don’t dillydally, because the deal only lasts until tonight.

This teeny printer lets you edit and print photos directly from your smartphone, and has peel-and-stick backing to let you collage or decorate your wall with your snaps.

Like a Swiffer and mop all rolled into one to keep dust and debris at bay.

Cricut EasyPress 2

If you’ve got a crafty older sister on your holiday shopping list, gift her the Cricut EasyPress 2, which is the cheapest I’ve ever seen it. The ceramic-coated heat plate goes up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, has an auto-shutoff feature, and is easy to use: Simply enter the recommended time and temperature settings, apply heat, and it will beep once done.

Google’s Chromecast is an affordable stocking stuffer that is easy to set up and works with every streaming service. And our tech writer thinks the Chromecast is a better gifting option than the Apple TV because it costs less and has just as many features.

OXO’s coffee grinder takes just 30 seconds to grind whole beans. The hopper is UV-blocking (so leaving whole beans in there won’t age them) and comes off the top of the machine very easily to rinse clean.

From $50

And if you prefer drip at the push of a button, Keurig’s single-serve maker is half-off.

Outdoor Voices is offering up to 50 percent off its CloudKnit and Stratus loungewear. Discounts and size availability vary by color and style, but this classic black long-sleeve is still in stock in all sizes.

These straight-leg sweatpants are made out of Outdoor Voices’ Stratus material, which is a slightly thicker version of CloudKnit and excellent for chilly-morning lounging.

This sampler set of Fly by Jing’s Strategist-approved condiments is 25 percent off through midnight with the code STRAT25. It makes an especially nice gift for new moms who are craving spice postpartum.

From $50

Another today-only deal: All gift cards at sustainable (and cool-person-approved) fashion brand Christy Dawn are 30 percent off with the code GIFT30 until midnight tonight.

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.
