25 Best Black Friday Deals According to Our Deals Editor

I don’t know if you’ve noticed: Black Friday deals are here, and they’re plentiful. I’ve been rounding up the best of them in my big hub of Black Friday deals for a few weeks now, but today I’m bringing you an extra-curated selection. Below are the few dozen deals that I think are definitely worth shopping before next week.

I started with the best sellers so far. Strateg readers have been snapping up all the great Nordstrom Black Friday deals — and I can’t say I blame them, because the discounts and product offerings are excellent. And many more items were added yesterday, so there’s even more to choose from.

Then I pulled the deals from my early Black Friday deals that I personally think are your best yet, including a cashmere hat for $26 and the just released Amazon Kindle. And to top it all off, I scrolled through our archives and best-in-class guides to see if there were items on sale, like an ultra-soft rug that’s one of our top picks under $200. The result: the 25 best deals to shop right now.

Update on November 23, 2024: Updated prices and controlled stock for all products.

One of my best deals from all the sales I’ve been looking at is this $26 cashmere beanie from Nordstrom. That’s a big discount and can be given to pretty much anyone (including yourself).

Expensive, but you’ll find the best deal on a cashmere sweater from La Ligne.

And these cotton sleep shorts are only $14.

Our favorite insulated slippers rarely go on sale, and right now they’re 30 percent off, which is about as good as you’ll ever find them for.

And here is the men’s version.

Senior editor Hilary Reid’s favorite hand cream of all time (it would make a great gift) is 30 percent off.

Skinfix’s moisturizer is a favorite of beauty columnist and esthetician Rio Viera-Newton, who says the ultra-rich, peptide-packed cream is perfect for winter.

I certainly don’t need more mugs, but this wintry one from The Six Bells’ Black Sheep sale does very convincing.

My favorite little baking sheets are 20 percent off. They won’t arrive in time for Thanksgiving, but they will for Christmas!

Here’s a Maison Margiela candle at a price that won’t make my eyes water.

This crazy (but very cute) lamp is only for sale in the red version, but that’s the one I would have chosen anyway.

Casaluna’s bath sheets feel a lot more expensive than they are—and now they’re even cheaper at just $12. Beauty writer Tembe Denton-Hurst says hers is “very soft, sturdy, dries me pretty quickly,” and washes well.

This option also looks nice if you’re looking for something more budget-friendly.

Notably, the new Paperwhite for kids has three new case designs: starfish (pictured here), cyber city and A Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Not the funnest purchase, but you’ll be glad you got it on sale.
