Huge news for the cottagecore diehards: Dôen just launched an incredible sale today, with tons of apparel (and a few home linens) for half off. While there are some good gifts for Mom in there, they probably won’t arrive on time — but don’t worry, because I found a few more on-sale items that will arrive by Sunday, May 14 (and a few more in here). Below, you’ll also find a speaker to keep kids occupied during summer break, our favorite pillow for combination sleepers, and a today-only flash sale on Pureology hair-care products at Sephora.
The Toniebox is like an around-the-clock babysitter: The screen-free speaker magnetically pairs with miniature figurines from children’s shows and movies to retell stories, play songs, and engage kids for hours. The Paw Patrol bundle, which includes the speaker and four figurines (Chase, Skye, and Marshall, as well as Toniebox’s own Playtime Puppy), is over 40 percent off today.
One of our best pillows, made of supportive Tempur-Pedic, is 31 percent off at Amazon. (It’s also on sale at the brand’s website for $119 for two, which shakes out to just over $59 apiece.)
If you’ve got a crafty mom, gift her the Cricut EasyPress 2, which is 39 percent off. The lightweight, ceramic-coated heat plate goes up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, has an auto-shutoff feature, and is easy to use — just enter the recommended time and temperature settings, apply heat, and it will beep once done.
These dainty (and deeply discounted) earrings will also still arrive in time for Mother’s Day if you order right now.
Incredibly soft silk scrunchies you can sleep in — without worrying about waking up with the dreaded ponytail dent.
Got a summer wedding coming up, but don’t want to spend a fortune on shoes you (probably) won’t wear again? Snag a pair of these loafers from Nordstrom, which are available in both brown and black leather.
Several Pureology products are half off at Sephora until midnight tonight. I’ve been using one of the brand’s heat-protectant sprays for over a year and, now that I’m trying to grow out my hair, will be trying this one from its Strength Cure line.
This fortifying hair mask is formulated with olive oil and goji berry to soften and strengthen color-treated strands.
There’s a super-rare sale happening at Dôen right now, so hurry on over to snag some goodies before they sell out. I spotted a lot of breezy summer tops, like the button-up chambray one above, for under $100.
A gorgeous makeup bag that’s very coastal cowgirl. It’s on sale in both a small and large size.
So many adorable kids’ dresses, tops, and pajamas that I desperately wish were in my size.
