The best everyday bra
ThirdLove 24/7 Classic Uplift Plunge Bra — Our Pick
ThirdLove deal price: $35; street price: $76
What we like: Our versatile everyday bra pick. Removable padding. Comes in a wider range of sizes than our other picks, including half-sizes.
Other things to know: Color selection includes only two light nude shades. Not every cup size is offered for every band size. The removable pads are small and don’t deliver much impact. Deal is available for select colors. Price includes shipping. Final sale. Good price, but not quite the lowest we’ve seen during Cyber Week 2023.

Hot lunch
Hydro Flask 5 L Insulated Lunch Bag — Our Pick
Amazon deal price: $34; street price: $45
What we like: Our large, insulated lunch box pick is perfect for heartier meals and snacks. Can fit small food-storage containers, and insulation keeps food cold. Contrasting color accents and rounded curves make it feel more grown-up than others we tested.
Other things to know: Outer pocket lacks a zipper. Due to larger size, it’s best for those willing to carry their lunch box on its own or who can throw it in the backseat of a car. On sale in the raisin color.

Classic white sneaker
Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Low (Women’s, Next Nature) — Our Pick

Sophisticated and comfortable sofa
Article Sven Birch Ivory Sofa — Our Pick
Article deal price: $758; street price: $1,000
What we like: A modern, comfortable sofa at a competitive price. We’ve found Article sofas to be well constructed with high-density foam cushions, webbing suspensions, and solid walnut or oak bases. Two bolster pillows included. Responsive customer service.
Other things to know: Price down to $758 shipped in the birch ivory color. Some assembly required. We’ve seen a fair number of negative reviews, most of them pertaining to durability. Seat is medium-firm, but soft back cushions sink in. The seat cushion is tufted on one side, so you won’t be able to flip it or remove the cover to wear each side evenly.
