The best gift boxes included Zingerman’s The Weekender Gift Box, which had a delightful array of treats, including baked goods and snacks. If you know a cheese lover, the Jasper Hill Farm The Vermonter gift basket is the one to send. Receiving a gift basket in the mail is one of life’s finer pleasures—especially if that gift box includes cookies or your favorite condiment. But choosing a shippable food gift can feel like an arduous task, too. Will your recipients enjoy their gifts?

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Retailers There are few things I love to find more than a sale-on-sale — when already discounted items are eligible for an additional markdown — and there are a bunch of excellent ones happening right now as we cruise into the long weekend. You can take 25 percent off sales items at Shopbop, an extra 40 percent at Madewell, 50 percent off clearance at Levi’s and Urban Outfitters, and a whopping 70 percent off end-of-season styles at J.Crew.

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photo: Retailer With two months of winter ahead of us, now is an excellent time to invest in a nice pair of warm slippers. UGGs are a no-brainer: they’re cozy without being sweaty, celebrity-approved, and come in a wide range of classic and trendy styles. Plus, there are plenty of pairs on sale over at Nordstrom right now.

Photo: Retailer Attention span? No thanks, haven’t seen it in years. Let’s blame phones and screens, though I guess I could blame my unwillingness to do anything about it. Until now. In an attempt to reclaim my focus so that I could continue to do things like work for a living, I ordered every imaginable timer off Amazon. There were some cuties in the mix, and some with interfaces so bizarre and alienating I couldn’t even figure them out. Only one stood out to become an important part of my life.

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Retailers Should you need an almost-Friday pick-me-up (I know I do), you’ve come to the right place. We uncovered tons of deep discounts on Strategist favorites for your closet, home, and makeup bag (cough, cough, many of which would make thoughtful Valentine’s Day gifts).

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photo: Retailer As a writer covering outdoor gear for the past six years, I test a lot of puffy jackets. Some days, like when I’m belaying my climbing partner while huddled on the side of a cliff in Colorado, I prefer the biggest, warmest puffer I have in my closet — the equivalent of being wrapped in a down comforter. But those occasions are rare.

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photo: Retailer We’re into cold-and-flu season, and there are multiple somethings going around in New York. If you’re suffering from a runny nose and clogged sinuses, may we suggest a humidifier? Increasing the ambient humidity in your room can help with congestion and facilitate more comfortable sleep. A good one will be the right size for your space, come apart for easy cleaning, and be generally quiet and hassle free.
