NYT Wirecutter, July

Black Friday may be behind us, but there are still some very good deals out there — in case you’re in need of a few final stocking stuffers, have yet to begin holiday shopping (no judgment), or are simply looking for a few home upgrades before your in-laws roll in.

Of the bunch, we’re eyeing a few that would likely please most folks left on your gift list: a supersoft pair of pajamas, a great-looking set of steak knives, and some sleek and colorful packing cubes.
