This one’s for all you back-to-school shoppers: If you’ve gotten your extra-long twin sheets, your shower caddy, and your Pink Floyd Back Catalogue poster, it’s now time to get a desk lamp that is neither hideous nor expensive. This stately little “gumball” offering from Urban Outfitters is none of those things, and comes in this sleek black, as well as a flashy silver and funky turquoise. Plus, its base has a handy plug-in socket for convenient, desk-side phone-charging. (For those in the market for a standing lamp, might we suggest this 20 percent off bright-green one, or this 22 percent off white one.)Original Price: $69
