We love a good stripe at the Strategist — and so we have long loved Kule, maker of some of the best striped tops (and more clothing) out there. The brand announced today that it’s closing, and the only good thing about that is the End-of-an-Era Sale, where clothes and accessories of all stripes (literally) are super-discounted. Get your $44 tees, $36 shorts, and over half-off totes now while you can.

The best bet from the Kule sale (in my opinion) is the classic striped long-sleeve, which comes in six different striped colors and will get tons of wear in a few months. Several colors are low in stock, though, so make sure to click through them all. 

This small Brita water filter pitcher will fit in a mini-fridge, should a college-bound student in your life need one.

Speaking of back to school, lots of techy stuff for older kids is up to half off (or more) at Best Buy right now, including this now-under-$200 Chromebook, which is great for simple computer work and internet browsing.
