With a new and long week ahead of us, we're scouring the web looking for anything self-indulgent enough to get us through. Luckily, we've found bright and shiny spoils, including all-time lows on Samsung Galaxy Tab S preorders and the 13" MacBook Air. These deals and more are in today's list of five Editors' Choice deals that we found overnight and early this morning.

  1. Top Sale
    Cole Haan Biannual Sale
    Store: Cole Haan
    Discount: Up to 50 percent off with extra 30 percent off via "COLLEGE"

    Do You Need It?: Looking for a pair of designer kicks on a budget? You can currently nab one of many pairs at an all-time price low at Cole Haan with this coupon code in tow. With the discounts combined, it's the best sale of the year from the designer shoe store and yields many low prices on quality shoes, boots, and sandals. We're liking the discounted Cole Haan Men's Christy Wedge Ghilley Oxford Shoes (pictured) for $69.96 (a $41 low) or the Cole Haan Women's Taylor Wedge Sandals for $83.96 (a $4 low).

  2. Top Laptop Deal

Plus, it's bundled with 6 months of Titanium Internet Security! Together, they're a massive $149 less than the next cheapest store. The MacBook Air features an Intel Core i5 1.3GHz dual-core CPU, 13.3" 1440x900 LED-backlit LCD, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 802.11ac wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, Facetime camera, Thunderbolt, and Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

    (Note that once you enter your email address, you'll receive an email containing a link to a unique code which will bag the discount.)

  3. Top Kids' Deal
    The Children's Place Sale
    Store: The Children's Place
    Discount: 40 percent off site-wide via "FORTY3", stacks with clearance items Shipping: Free shipping

    Do You Need It?: We're always first to discourage you from splashing out big bucks on kids' clothes because of their attraction to everything messy and their incredible ability to stretch at super speeds. Since The Children's Place is offering a wide range of adorable items at low prices during one of its best ever sales, it's the perfect opportunity to keep the spending low when dressing the little ones. Two items to consider are The Children's Place Girls' Fit 'N Flare Floral Dress (pictured) for $8.39 ($17 off) or The Children's Place Boys' Dude Graphic T-Shirt for $4.19 ($6 off).

  4. Top Tablet Deal

    Price: $499.99 for SYWR members with free shipping
    Lowest by: $163
    Expires: June 27

    Do You Need It?: If you were thinking of taking the plunge and buying Samsung's new gizmo, then make sure you do at Sears. There, Shop Your Way Rewards members can bag a free cover and $125 in points to spend on a future purchase, making this bundle a current and massive price low by $163. It features Exynos 5 Octa 1.9GHz quad core & 1.3GHz quad core CPUs, a 10.5" 2560x1600 AMOLED display, 3GB RAM, 16GB storage, 8MP camera, 2.1MP front-facing camera, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, microSD card slot, USB, Android 4.4 (Kit Kat), and a 7,900mAh battery. (Note that you must add the cover to cart separately. It's due for release on July 10.)

  5. Top Storage Deal
    Western Digital 1TB Elements 2.5" Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive
    Store: TigerDirect
    Price: $47.99 via coupon "AXJ131206" with free shipping
    Lowest by: $14
    Expires: June 23

    Do You Need It?: Since it's fallen by an additional $7 since May, this hard drive is at an all-time price low. What's more, it's at a pretty reasonable mark for a 1TB model, making it a bargain worthy of any keen virtual hoarder. It provides data speeds up to 5Gb/s and is backwards-compatible with USB 3.0.

    Total Savings: At least $326

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
