Game of Thrones reference aside, winter is coming, and, for many of us, the race to stock up on snow gear has officially begun.

4. $40 off: This Cuisinart cast iron Dutch oven
If there's a chef in your life that's looking to add to their cookware collection, this 7-quart Cuisinart cast-iron dish might be the best gift they receive this holiday season. Normally $129.99, you can grab this hefty piece for a steal at $89.99. Available in two fun hues (peony pink and teal), it has a solid 4.7-star rating from more than 1,600 Amazon shoppers. We featured the brand's 5-quart chef's classic cast-iron Dutch oven ($109.16) in our roundup of the best Dutch ovens on the market. While there are a few key differences between the two (the 5-quart is dishwasher-safe, while the larger 7-quart, which is made from a high-quality porcelain enamel, can only go in the oven and broiler), they still share many of the same features, including a similarly solid construction.
