While there's no bad time for shopping, there are definitely better ones, and Gap's new Friends and Family sale means the time is now. Get early access through November 5, and enter the promo code SAVE40 to take 40 percent off almost everything at the store. Not only can you check off your gift list [1] extra early this year, there's plenty of classic denim [2] and workout gear [3] for you, too.
Because we were prepared for this very moment, we already had 20 classic pieces in mind that will last for years to come, including items with bigger price tags where that savings is extra appreciated. (We're looking at you, cosy coats [4].)
