Pro Deal Tip: There's many more Staff Pick deals beyond the ones we've highlighted here. Keep scrollin' to see them all.
Levi's Men's Jeans End of Season DealsStore: Levi's
Price: From $17 in cart
Shipping: Free shipping
Expiration: January 16
I think 2025 is the year jeans finally take off. For too long, they've been seen as the low man's pants, a horrible blue chino made of the coarsest material you can comfortably stretch over your working class legs. But their reputation is changing, and soon, even popular musicians will be seen wearing these Levi's. And you? You can get in on the ground floor, thanks to this 50% off in-cart discount.
Woot T-ShirtsStore: Woot! An Amazon Company
Discount: 50% off two or more
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Expiration: January 8
Stock up on items from the Woot Shirt category, and once you've got two or more in your cart, you'll get half off at checkout. The designs are, as you'd expect, mostly memes about Star Wars and cats. It's a real throwback to, like, early 2010s internet in that way. I think that's a compliment. But importantly: half off!
Smart TVs at Best BuyStore: Best Buy
Price: From $80
Shipping: Free shipping
Smart TVs are great, but they've been around for a while now. When you can get a smart TV for $80, that's when you know the tech is old-hat. So the question is, what comes after "smart"? Clearly the next step is "smug TVs" — they already know what you want to watch before you've even sat down, and they're going to make sure you know about it. They'll unsubscribe you from Shudder and sign you up for a Mubi for a year because they think it's better for you. These TVs sound both impressive and inevitable, but they're still a while away, so you might as well nab some huge savings on a smart, not-yet-ensmuggified OLED.
Patagonia Deals at REIStore: REI
Discount: Up to 75% off
Shipping: Pickup, or free shipping w/ $60
It's now been a little over two years since Yvon Chouinard donated the entire Patagonia business to the fight against climate change, and we're still up the proverbial creek. Which can only mean one thing: time to buy lots more Patagonia stuff. But no one said anything about paying full price, like a weapons-grade fool — let the dual pleasures of saving money and being very slightly do-goody about environmental causes wash over you like a luxurious gel.
Samsonite Luggage Deals at AmazonStore: Amazon
Discount: Up to 62% off
Shipping: Free shipping
The genius of naming your luggage brand "Samsonite", then focusing mostly on hardside luggage, is that you can invoke the strength of Samson, but if someone tries to make a joke about cutting off his hair to make the cases weak, you can just gesture at the smooth, bald exterior of your case and smile with a quiet superiority. Suitcases can't even grow hair — if one of these cases arrives covered in Samson-esque hair, you should immediately report it to both Amazon and maybe the authorities. The savings also beat Amazon's Cyber Monday sale, but we felt it was more important to focus on the hair-related stuff.
