For a limited time, Urban Outfitters is offering 20% off sitewide. Some things are excluded, including most big furniture pieces, like dressers and bed frames.. For our money, however, one of the best things to grab is one of their already affordable rugs. Many draw from styles we’re already seeing everywhere, like Beni Ourain or 70s vintage, and give them twists with fresh colors and designs. Far from looking like something out of your old dorm, they feel sophisticated instead.

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, we didn’t expect much from paper plates and napkins, except that they (hopefully) held slices of pizza and cake. The days of sheer utility, however, are long gone. Disposable paper goods and plastic utensils that we not-so-secretly covet in a more permanent form can be found at multiple retailers.

There’s a benefit to being chosen as one of Oprah’s favorite things: Her seal of approval can be the motivating factor to hit that buy button for tons of people. But there’s a benefit for shoppers, too. Once the list is announced, many items are discounted just to celebrate their inclusion. Such is the case with Embark, a DNA kit for dogs developed in partnership with the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. Usually $199, its currently on sale for $149.

This time of year at Apartment Therapy, we spend a lot of time thinking about what makes great gifts for other people. (See: all our fantastic gift guides.) But we are only human, and all this shopping around makes it hard not to add some stuff to our own lists as well. From trendy toothbrushes that make adulting fun, to a serious investment-worthy set of sheets and a statement-making terrarium, here are what’s at the top of our lists this year.

We’ve been there: a White Elephant or Secret Santa, and the creeping realization that you have no idea what to bring. So you rush to CVS and grab one of those holiday lotion sets that’s just regular drugstore lotion in a slightly sparkly box, throw in a Reese’s Christmas tree, and call it a day. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Holiday shopping lists can get long, and while there are great ways to give someone a gift that costs (almost) nothing, sometimes you do want to wrap up something wonderful and put it under the tree (or win an office White Elephant exchange.) One sneaky way to spend less on great gifts? Snag something on sale. Below, ten of our favorite gifts for 2018 that are currently marked down, from under $20 to big, show-stopping options for the person you want to splurge on that are still 50% off.

Anthropologie is a veritable wonderland of giftable goodies, from beauty to home to tech. But before you go in and get overwhelmed by the gorgeous options, take a look at our top picks for 2018. We have 10 luxe stocking stuffers sure to impress your favorite Anthro fan on your list–and five big-ticket options in case you want one of those, too. They’ll love it so much they won’t even be tempted to return it for store credit.

You want to get your friends and family something sentimental and personal… but also you completely forgot that Christmas is a mere week away. We hear you. But before you rush out and grab a gift card, there’s still time. Etsy has tons of items available to ship in as little as one business day. To find them, you can winnow down your search results by whether it can ship in one or three business days. But, of course, that still leaves you with a lot of stuff to wade through.

For years, I was a toaster oven denier. Who needs a miniature, worse version of something already in your kitchen? Sure, it heats up quickly, but many of those little jobs could probably be handled in a toaster, and it never seemed worth the extra counter space. Then my sister told me she wanted a toaster oven for Christmas. Mind you, I remained personally anti-toaster oven, but for the sake of my little sister, I’d do the internet research and pick out a nice one for her.

The holidays are basically a haze of early Black Friday deals bleeding into extended Black Friday deals bleeding all the way into New Year’s Day. Which means things have been fairly quiet on the sales front ever since the calendar transitioned into 2019. But that’s all about to change, though, as retailers need to offload winter inventory ahead of spring shipments.
