In today’s sales mishmash, I found three bathroom-décor pieces that will refresh your washroom in under five minutes — or however long it takes to find a hammer and snip off a price tag. There are also tote bags from Goodee and Cult Gaia, deeply discounted outerwear off at Patagonia, and a skin-care gift set that includes that under-eye tightener that went viral on TikTok.

Here’s a surprising find over at Amazon: a selection of on-sale staples from Gap, including this classic crew neck that’s available in 15 colors.

This handcrafted tote from Black-owned global marketplace Goodee can schlep produce from the farmer’s market and even protect your laptop. It’s made from 100 percent recycled PET plastic and is also on sale in red at Shopbop.

For a dressier tote, I spotted one of Cult Gaia’s ultratrendy bamboo-crafted bags for just $100 at Nordstrom.

Already on-sale products at SkinStore are an extra 10 percent off at checkout, making this set from Peter Thomas Roth just $31. It includes the under-eye tightening that went viral on TikTok as well as an enzyme-packed peeling gel to exfoliate winter skin.


This bubble-letter pin will ensure you never have a “What’s your sign?” conversation again.

Spiff up your bathroom with this textured mat that’s on sale in three neutral colors.

Keep shampoo bottles, loofahs, and other shower accoutrements corralled with this $15 shower caddy in a brushed-nickel finish.

And to round out your bathroom refresh, a gentle reminder for houseguests and kiddos alike.

These vintage-inspired sunnies are made with recycled and plant-based materials and would be a good Valentine’s Day gift for a partner who needs to upgrade from gas-station sunglasses.
