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.

   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).
