Cole Haan End of Season Deals

By all acounts, we have until March to enjoy winter and all its earthly delights. But as Cole Haan's sale is eager to remind us, Tom Waits for no man, and the season will end, just like every season before it. It's undoubtedly intended as a metaphor, a powerful reminder of impermanence, of the intangible, cruelly curling finger of time. But, as an enormous error, they've decided to remind us via the medium of discounted apparel and shoes and bags and such, and that's all we're going to focus on. Coupon code "EXTRA25" does the damage to the prices, and Above & Beyond members get free shipping. And how about this: it's free to join.

Anker USB-C Fast Charger 2-Pack

Now that the EU has made Apple commit to the USB-C, making the Lightning Connector a thing of the past, and I've bought the latest Kindle Paperwhite, ending the micro-USB's reign of terror, we can all safely upgrade our chargers to the USB-C standard, in complete confidence that the breathless onwards march of technology ends here. And if not — hey, it's only $12, the best price we've ever seen for this pair of chargers. And whatever comes next will presumably interface directly with our brains through our ear canals, so that'll be interesting.

Holiday Clearance at Macy's

The unspoken tyranny of Christmas is to have made having a brightly lit tree in your living room a faux pas outside of the holiday season. But without Christmas, a tree is just a tree, and an underrated decor choice in the modern living room. And so this is actually a perfect early January sale: flaunt your brazen shopping in the face of the just-past holidays as you stuff a newly holiday-agnostic tree in your cart and relish your savings.

Alternatively: early savings for next Christmas. Whatever you like.

Clear the Rack Designer Deals at Nordstrom Rack

Racks are clearing, reader. Can you afford not to be among the clearers of racks? The shoppers are celebrating the store's 52nd year, which is significant for reasons too arcane to elaborate upon here. Mostly, the significance is this: I just looked up when the first Nordstrom Rack opened — but, there's something to be said for looking at the numbers. 508 items are discounted at time of writing, which works out at just about 10 per year of operation. And $10 is how much shipping costs unless you spend $89 or more. And 89 minus our original 52 is 37, which is the year of my life I'm currently wasting writing this nonsense. Makes you think.

Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller

Compared to the Steel Battalion controller experience, this Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller does seem a bit limited but what wouldn't? Instead of focusing on what isn't, focus on what is. Namely, the best price we've seen yet for this games interacting doohickey.
