One less hour, plenty of deals

by Rachel Roszmann, Weekend Editor

Tomorrow we lose an hour, but today we're gaining a $4.99 Disney+ and Hulu deal, fashion picks from our London editor, staff favorites and the one thing I can't sleep without. Let's spring forward.

When you buy from links in The Checkout, Yahoo may receive compensation. Pricing and availability are subject to change.

Editors' picks

Working on Yahoo's shopping team means hearing about the good stuff. These are some of the items our editors bought and loved last month.

Hard-to-miss luggage tags ($7): "A neon orange tag means I can find our bags in a sea of black suitcases." —Lisa Schweitzer, Senior Home Writer
Perfect denim ($59): "These jeans won me over almost instantly. They're soft and stretchy, they hold my tummy in, and they make my legs look supermodel-long and slim." —Jeanine Edwards, Commerce Initiatives Director
Instant ice ($63): "A countertop ice maker is so much easier to use than constantly refilling ice trays … This one is super highly rated (over 7,500 five-star reviews), comes in a variety of colors and can whip up a whopping 26 pounds of ice within 24 hours." —Carrie McCabe, Senior Deals Writer

Irresistible deals

Spotting deals is the best part of my job, and these are the ones I can't resist this week.

Stick vacuum: If you've got pets, the lightweight Shark Rocket Ultra-Light is strong enough to suck up errant tufts of fur from carpets and hard floors, slips easily under furniture and converts to a handheld for quick cleanups. It's 50% off.
Countertop pizza maker: Save 33% on this fun gadget that cooks crispy 12-inch pies (plus quesadillas, pancakes and even cinnamon rolls) quickly without heating up your whole kitchen.
Comfy shoes: These No. 1 bestselling New Balance sneakers are made for long days on your feet and provide excellent arch support. They also work well with orthotics and come with a 41% discount.

Seasonal staples

Our London editor is ready to ditch those puffers and dark shades for something breezier.

Spring is all about lighter layers and elevated basics. These are the staples I return to every year and highly recommend.

Jeans that secretly feel like joggers: Spring calls for denim, but stiff, uncomfortable pairs aren't it. I have worn my pull-on jeans pretty much every week since I discovered them last spring. They deliver the look of wide-leg jeans with all-day comfort thanks to the elastic waistband. I am so converted that I now own two pairs. These are 29% off.
Swap in a statement jacket: Put your usual denim jacket to one side — if you lean toward simple outfits, an on-trend quilted jacket with a pop of print adds texture and instantly elevates your look. This one is $27.
Switch up your handbag: Your go-to black purse can drag down a vibrant pastel outfit. For spring and summer, reach for a lighter color that complements your seasonal palette. This Kate Spade satchel is 70% off.

A few simple swaps can make your wardrobe feel spring-ready.

Before you go…

As someone who's chronically sleep-challenged, I've tried more sleep masks than I can count, and this $16 option is the best I've found. It's one of those things I won't go to bed without.
