Heed this warning: If your December plans include unwrapping a little delight every day, you should get your Advent calendar now before it sells out.
Our gifts experts have handpicked the very best ones for this year — including a suitcase packed with several coveted beauty finds, and another filled with an unusually generous handful of gummy berries, worms, fruits, and rings.

The on-sale gifts we’re eyeing today |
 |
| NYT Wirecutter, Made In, Lego |
- A beautiful terra-cotta pot: This scalloped planter has a lovely European sort of charm to it. Writer Jackie Reeve, who planted some thyme and sat the pot in her kitchen next to her family’s usual tangle of mugs, snacks, and stray paperwork, says it now all “looks downright tasteful — effortlessly chic, even.”
- A buttery-soft cashmere blanket: We love how this throw looks just as lovely draped over a chair as it does over shoulders. And we think the red tartan plaid — which is $50 off right now — would make a very nice holiday gift, especially for anyone on your list who yearns to live inside a Nancy Meyers movie.
- Arguably the only pan anyone ever needs: Think of a carbon steel pan like cast iron’s lower-maintenance cousin: It’s naturally nonstick, can last forever, and is adept at frying eggs, searing steaks, and on and on. This one we love is $100 today.
- Unwiltable flowers: We’ve long been fans of these Lego flowers, and we’re seeing several on sale right now, including a duo of roses and some bright sunflowers. You could create your own little bouquet, or get very ahead on very good stocking stuffers.
- “Like Magna-Tiles but bendy:” These flexible magnetic building pieces bend to create curves and joints and snap together with a satisfying click. Creations go far beyond castles and cubes: Think moving pinwheels, helicopters, and cars. The 42-piece rainbow set — one of our favorite gifts for 5-year-olds — is under $50 today.
- $100 earbuds for $30: This pair of workout earbuds is waterproof, sweatproof, and has an impressive 8-hour battery life. Plus, they sound great right out of the box, and they’re small enough to fit in the pocket of most running shorts.

A peek into the questions flying around your newsletters editors’ Slack todaye: Do we need cute speckled juice glasses bedazzled with hand-pressed glass eyeballs, snakes, and candy corn? Probably not, no. Would they bring us unbridled joy for the month of October? Yes. Is this a good deal on them? Yes.
