5 Deals You Need to Know Today: Lock, Stock, and Smokin' Hot Crate & Barrel Deals
The real steal of the season was when old man Burns blotted out the sun in the hopes of creating an eternal winter. But that's probably not what this Crate & Barrel sale is about. Check out these offers and more in our roundup of the five best deals we found over the last 24 hours.

Crate & Barrel Steals of the Season
Up to 70% offAlmost 1,000 discounts, mostly showing that English-language homeware names are less interesting than IKEA's Swedish ones. Would you prefer a "Keane" table, or a "KNARREVIK" side table? A "Dune" sofa (not shaped like a sandworm, so don't get excited by that) or an "EKTORP" sofa? Maybe those Swedish names are disappointingly humdrum if you speak the language, but at least they're entertainingly shouted. But names aside, that's still 900-plus discounts, and that's the actual name of the game. (The game is really named "ERBJUDANDENYHETER", but that's a bit of a mouthful.)

adidas Men's Terrex Anylander Hiking Shoes
$38.25 via code "OFF15"I appreciate adidas' appeal to world unity and complete disregard for each and every national border in naming this shoe the "Anylander". It's probably just a mildly clever revision of "Terrex", if you spin that out into "Terra X", where "Terra" means "land", and X is our old friend the algebraic unknown, but I prefer the utopian 90s world music idea for its origins. In any case, this is all just meaningless preamble to my telling you that this is the best price we've ever seen for these shoes.
Top Watch Deal
Casio Watch Deals at Amazon
Up to 60% offObviously the digital Casios are more iconic than the analog ones. That's a battle the digital watches have long since won. (Although the analog ones are here, discounted, but still more expensive, so take that how you will.) But now the battle is on a purely digital battlefield: 12-hour versus 24-hour time. I lean towards 24-hour, because I can count that high, but ask colleague N. Gosker and he may give you a different answer.
Huehuehue.
Top Backpack Deal
Targus Octave III Backpack
$14.99There are 12 steps in an octave, so if you walk even that far carrying something in this backpack, it's already lived up to its name. 36 steps if you assume you're supposed to multiply by the III. Either way, almost instantly achievable. Well-played, Targus. I know what you're thinking: "That's probably not why they named it that — it's a very low bar to clear." And to that I say, why else would they have named it that? For no reason at all? Oh.
Top Apparel Deal
J.Crew Factory Clearance Sale
Up to 60% off + extra 60% off via code "SCORE60""SCORE60" is the name I've given for my preferred way of playing the FIFA (or EA FC, brrrr) franchise games — on the easiest level, commentary disabled and replaced by a podcast or music, and it's basically more like Breakout than any traditional form of soccer. The challenge isn't that you beat the game, that's a given, it's how many points can you mindlessly accrue in the process. It's unfulfilling as a sport, but very useful for occupying one's hands whilst listening to two grown men humorously recount Disney Channel Original Movies. "SCORE60" is also how you get an extra 60% off all these J.Crew Factory things, which is probably the more useful information here.
