The weekend's best sales: $30 off an Ember smart mug, 30% off Columbia boots and more

Yahoo's tech expert, Rick Broida, tested tons of smart mugs, and this is the one that came out on top. "Here's what I love most about the Ember: I don't have to turn it on. Once I pour a liquid in, it immediately starts heating. When the drink is gone, it turns off. Sounds like a trivial thing, but it's great not having to futz with a power button or temperature settings. I don't really even have to use the app after the first time; once I've set my preferred temp, it's locked in until I change it."

Feeling the chill? It's probably time to step up your outerwear game. Patagonia's past-season sale is still going strong, and this cute, cozy parka is more than $100 off. It's available in all sizes in this pretty shade of red, but there are three other colors to choose from.

Shoveling snow the old-school way can be exhausting. With an electric option like this one, you'll have a whole lot of help cleaning up after Mother Nature's latest onslaught. It weighs just 8.8 pounds, meaning you can quickly clear your driveway, sidewalks, patios and more with less strain — the shovel will leave a 12-inch path and blow snow up to 20 inches away. 

A sleek turtleneck and wide-leg pants are always effortlessly chic — just look at this set. The gold buttons on the cuffs give the top an elevated, expensive feel, and the drawstring waistband on the pants will keep you cozy. The hardest part is choosing from the 16 colors (honestly, we might just get two — don't judge).

"I have received so many compliments on this … it is literally the most comfortable thing I have ever worn," raved one shopper.

These leggings are seriously warm. A hidden fleece lining helps insulate your legs without adding bulk, creating a look that's fashionable and functional.

They're flattering too: The leggings are designed with a V-shaped high-rise band, so they cinch in at the waist and flatter the tummy area. There are five pockets, including one that's zippered, and flat seams to help prevent chafing and rubbing. Perhaps the most impressive part is just how many fans they've amassed — over 24,000 five-star reviews.
