The Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deals That Are Actually Worth It

This year, Black Friday kicks off on Friday, November 27th, 2020, and consequently, Cyber Monday will be Monday, November 30th, 2020.

Below is a quick & dirty recap of the best Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals currently available. I’ll continue to add new sales (that I deem worthy!) as I see them.

Also: just a friendly reminder that you don’t *NEED* anything on this list. Material things do not = happiness.

I try to focus on shopping for truly practical items that I was planning to buy anyway—not just buying random things because they happen to be on sale. That is all. Happy shopping! 

Best Tech Sales

• SAMSUNG FRAME: The Samsung Frame TV (seen in my living room above!) is $400 off. I’ve compared several different websites for pricing, and the best deal seems to be here.
  
  We bought ours for this price during Black Friday/Cyber Monday last year and we absolutely LOVE it.
  
  
• SAMSUNG FLATSCREEN: For a lower-priced alternative, we also own this Samsung flat-screen—the 5o” 4K UHD smart TV. It’s on major sale right now.
  
  We bought it at full price for our bedroom and are SO happy with it. Shocked at how good the quality is considering the price.

• AIRPODS: Found them for 25% off. I used to make fun of my husband for wearing them…and I then I tried them. I’ll never look back. So simple. So necessary.
  
  
• DYSON: The Dyson V7 Absolute is on sale for $249 ($100 off) and the Dyson Cyclone V10 is on sale for $399 ($150 off.)
  
  I’d recommend buying them here as they have a best price guarantee. I’ve had this vacuum for 4 years and can vouch that it’s worth every penny.

• NESPRESSO: BFCM is a great time to buy a Nespresso machine. Randomly I find that Bloomingdales always has cheaper prices on them than anywhere else.
  
  The Nespresso VertuoPlus is 68% (!) off and the VertuoNext is on sale for 40% off. I have both! If you’re tight on space, I’d recommend the VertuoNext as it has a slimmer profile; otherwise, I love the VertuoPlus! (It has a slightly larger water tank and holds more capsules.)

Nespresso Pro Tip: If you’re buying a VertuoPlus, you might notice that some machines say “De’Longhi” on the front, while others say “Nespresso.” They are all the same machine—I confirmed this with their team!

• SONY: This is the compact camera that I bought last Black Friday and it’s been the best investment for my photography and brand. IT IS $600 OFF.
  
  If you want to step up your photo game…INVEST IN THIS CAMERA. Some of my most talented content creator friends have it and swear it’s shoots as well as MUCH fancier models.

Best Home Sales

• PARACHUTE: The lightweight duvet insert I’m OBSESSED with from Parachute is 20% off (while supplies last).
  
  They also have 20% sitewide on other bedding and bath linens from 11/23-11/30. I can’t recommend the percale bed bundle enough, particularly for people who get hot when they sleep!
  
  
• BAREFOOT DREAMS: This buttery soft throw is rarely on sale and is worth every penny. It’s currently 49% off. Keep checking back if it’s sold out—Nordstrom Rack has been restocking it frequently.
  
  
• SERENA & LILY: 20% off everything + free shipping with code TOGETHER. We’ve ordered so many incredible things from S&L (including this super soft wool rug, which we have in our bedroom). The quality is absolutely amazing.
  
  
• CUISINART: This cast iron dutch oven is miraculously $58 (and it looks exactly like Le Creuset.)
  
  
• H&M HOME: Guys—don’t sleep on H&M home! They have 30% off site-wide and the stuff is AMAZING. We got so many incredible fancy-looking home decor pieces from H&M for insanely cheap.
  

• WAYFAIR: If you’re looking for furniture, there are crazy deals going on at Wayfair (this sectional is pretty chic and has amazing reviews). They also have up to 40% off GE Appliances.
  
  
• WEST ELM: Amazing couches, rugs, and home decor are 50% off. This couch is a best-seller (and looks cozy AF.)
  
  

• ANTHROPOLOGIE: Starting 11/25, Anthropologie will be offering 30% off site-wide. Until then, all sale items are an additional 30% off.
  
  My duvet cover is included. It’s SO SO gorgeous and offers really beautiful texture to an otherwise understated room.

• OUR PLACE: The “Always Pan” that took Instagram by storm is $50 off with code SUPERSALE.
  

Best Beauty Sales

• DERMSTORE: 25- 30% off sale is their best sale of the year, and includes a ton of beauty/skincare brands that aren’t typically discounted (like the best lash growth serum ever.)
  
  Use promo code sharethelove from 11/22 through 11/30.
  
  
• VIOLET GREY: The luxury beauty website has 20% off their best-sellers, including Necessaire, and Augustinus Bader. I personally have my eyes on this beauty-editor-approved lip plumping product.
  
  
• SEPHORA: There are some pretty good things on sale for 50% off at Sephora right now. I had to do a double take when I saw Ultra Repair Cream (which is amazing on dry skin in winter) marked down to $15 from $45.
  
  This clarifying hair rinse is INCREDIBLE to use 1x week, especially if you go heavy on products like dry shampoo.

• SKINCEUTICALS: 15% off + a free gift when you spend $150. It’s automatically added in your cart at checkout! I’d recommend this duo of their best-selling CE Ferulic and HA serum.

• REVLON BLOWDRYER: I found my HOLY GRAIL Revlon hair dryer on sale. Trust me when I say it will blow your mind (ha!).
  
  

• ELEMIS: Elemis has a ton of sales going on. From 11/27 – 11/30, take 30% off all full-sized products and get a gift with purchases of $125+ using code SURPRISE. Pick up two of my favorites: the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm.

  You can take 25% off serums with code BLACK, and 25% off all Slip silk masks and holiday sets with code BLACK.
  
  

• IT Cosmetics: They’re doing 30% off with the code CELEBRATE. This anti-aging gift set would be a great gift idea for mom (it’s a $91 value that comes out to just $40 + free shipping with the code.) Plus, score 50% off the CC+ Cream.

• SEPHORA: We’ve got some decent gift set sales happening on Sephora! Particularly this Dr Jart+ Ceramidin set, which includes some of the products that SAVE me from dry skin during the winter.

• THE ORDINARY: Beauty brand DECIEM (makers of The Ordinary) is offering 23% off site-wide all month long—with one caveat: they’re shutting down both their site and brick-and-mortar stores on Black Friday to encourage more conscious consumerism.
  

• CHARLOTTE TILBURY: Beauty icon Charlotte Tilbury is offering 40% off a selection of her makeup and skincare classics. The sale lasts 11/19 through 12/1.

Best Sales for Men’s Gifts

• TOMMY JOHN: You’ve seen me rave about this brand before. Entire site is 25% off right now. Their “second skin” line is everything. Matt (and our dads!) all loooove TJ.
  
  Their women’s PJs are equally amazing.

• NADAAM: The cashmere brand Matt & I love is doing 40% off with code BLACKFRI40 from 11/23 – Sunday 11/29. Perfect holiday gifts that feel fancy (because cashmere) but won’t break the bank.
  
  
• BOSE: My holy grail noise-cancelling headphones are $100 off (!)
  
  
• COLE HAAN: Just found this super sophisticated leather backpack on sale for 74% off (it’s $99!) Perfect for someone who’s not a briefcase guy, but not a canvas backpack guy.

• JCREW: Need a gift for a dude but not sure what to get? Matt loves these flannel PJ bottoms and they’re 50% off (as is most of the Jcrew website!)
  
  

• UGG: In addition to both Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, Ugg will also be hosting its “Cyber Closet 2020” sale on 11/25.
  
  The sale features up to 60% off shoes, boots, slippers, robes, and other Ugg apparel (they have the best sweats for men).

Best Women’s Gifts

• AMAZON: Ok where do we begin? The Amazon winter coat that went viral is back in stock and $100 off. These quilted patent wintery/rain boots are cute as HELL and they’re 38% off.

I also found Airpods on Amazon for 25% off.

And this is random but hear me out: Matt got this posture corrector from a friend and we’ve both been wearing it while we work. IT REALLY HELPS (and it’s only $12 right now with the discount.)

• APL: The comfiest women’s sneakers ever (which are usually crazy $$$) are on sale for 25% off with code EVERYDAY2020. Wearing them is like walking on clouds.
  
  

• ABERCROMBIE: We all know that Abercrombie is having a comeback right? Their half-zip sherpas are EVERYTHING of the sort. This cream one with faux leather trim (on sale for $59) is a fave.

• NORDSTROM: Tons of things happening here.
  
  Namely, the iconic Stuart Weitzman 5050 boots on sale for 21% off. Not sure you’d buy these as a gift, but you should sure as hell buy them for yourself. Read my full review here.

• JCREW: They have 35% off with code FRIENDS or sign in & use code FAMILY for 45% off your purchase. Highly recommend their best-selling cocoon coat (size down; I take a zero) and this super cute flannel PJ set.

• SPANX: My favorite Spanx faux leather leggings are 20% off at Nordstrom. Size up. I’m usually a small but I wear a medium in these. They have serious compression (read the reviews) so they REALLY suck you in and are super flattering. Everyone I know is obsessed.

• RIKI LOVES RIKI MIRROR: My favorite light-up vanity mirror is on sale for 25% off, which is the most I’ve ever seen it discounted. (Fun fact: it was one of Oprah’s “Favorite Things” a few years ago!)

• SOREL: Sorel has several tried-and-true winter boots on sale right now for 25% off, including one of their most popular styles.

  My duvet cover is included. It’s SO SO gorgeous and offers really beautiful texture to an otherwise understated room.

• THEORY: Theory’s Buy More, Save More event runs now through 11/24 gives customers 25% off every $300 spent, 30% off every $500 spent, and 40% off every $750 spent. On 11/25, add in an extra 20% off all sweaters and outerwear.
  

• GIRLFRIEND COLLECTIVE: Take 25% off site-wide from 11/24 through 11/30. Their size-inclusive, ethically made workout gear is some of the best around.

• REFORMATION: From 11/26 – 11/30, take 30% off site-wide. I’m usually a fan of their summer dresses, but I’ve been eyeing their cozy sweatsuits lately.
