  • The 166 Best Black Friday Deals Still Going Strong

    [ad_1]

    Black Friday may have been yesterday, but almost all the best bargains are still going strong today. This weekend is peak shopping season, and these Black Friday deals offer a chance to secure some gifts for the holiday season or snag those gadgets you’ve been eyeing for yourself.

    Featured Black Friday Deal

    Updated: Nov 29 2025, 11:24 PM

    Across the web, you’ll find people recommending devices they’ve never actually used at prices that aren’t really discounted. WIRED’s list of the absolute best Black Friday deals is not like that. Everything on this list was hands-on tested by a member of our Reviews team and is recommended as worth the money at full price. But you won’t pay full price, as all these items are also actually discounted.

    Updated November 29 5pm ET: We’ve swapped deals on Amazon devices and charging banks; added an apparel section, camera bags, carry-on bags; added robot vacuum deals; and added beauty and fitness deals. We also removed older deals and updated links and pricing.

    Best PC Laptop Deal: Dell 14 Plus for $500 ($100 off)

    Finally, a $500 Windows laptop that isn’t just decent or mediocre, but actually good. The resolution is 2560 by 1600, with decent color accuracy and brightness. The battery life isn’t just adequate—it’s downright impressive. And the touchpad, which is an area where many budget laptops compromise, actually feels smooth and responsive. This is something no other Windows laptop can pull off. The only catch is that it’s a Doorbuster-style sale, meaning once they sell out at this price, this discount will disappear. —Luke Larsen

    Microsoft

    Surface Laptop (7th Edition, 2024)

    The Surface Laptop is the MacBook of the Windows world, and the seventh edition has a brilliant display and great battery life. It’s normally priced at $1,000, but you can save 20 percent on Black Friday.

    Asus

    Zenbook A14

    Weighing only 2.16 pounds, it’s one of the lightest laptops you can buy, without making any major sacrifices to achieve that weight.

    Razer

    Blade 14

    This incredibly compact, powerful little laptop works just as well for studying, content creation, and work as it does for gaming.

    Acer

    Chromebook Plus 516

    Chromebooks under $300 tend to compromise in the display and touchpad. Not the Acer Chromebook Plus 516, and this is a fantastic deal on it.

    Best MacBook Deal: MacBook Air (M4) for $749 ($250 off)

    Apple

    MacBook Air (M4, 2025)

    The M4 MacBook Air came out in early 2024, and it’s remained the best laptop you can buy. The price has slowly dropped, too. It’s now down to $749, and when you compare this directly with the quality of similarly priced laptops, you’ll see why it’s still at the top of my list. The display quality and resolution is top-notch, while the performance and battery life remain best in class. Now, you might be wondering if you should wait for the M5 MacBook Air instead of pulling the trigger on this deal. If the rumors are true, we’re still at least a few months out from the M5 MacBook Air, making this M4 still worthy of a purchase at this price. —Luke Larsen

    More MacBook Deals

    Apple

    MacBook Pro (M5)

    The new MacBook Pro is only a month old, and it’s already on sale. It may not have been a significant revamp, but it’s currently the only Mac to get the latest M5 chip.

    Apple

    MacBook Pro (M4 Pro/M4 Max, 2024)

    While not a huge discount, the M4 Pro MacBook Pro remains a supremely powerful and premium laptop, still a meaningful step up in performance over the M5 MacBook Pro.

    Best Computer Peripheral Deal: Audioengine A2+ Speakers for $223 ($56 off)

    I know a lot of people use headphones or earbuds at work, but it’s your home office, there’s still nothing like a solid pair of desk speakers to amplify your work-from-home setup. These Audioengine computer speakers rarely go on sale, so now’s a great time to pick up a pair. They’re our favorite computer speakers, with robust sound, and they won’t take up much room on a desk. Music is where these speakers shine, even without a dedicated subwoofer.—Luke Larsen

    SteelSeries

    Rival 3 Gen 2

    You don’t need to be a gamer to enjoy a good gaming mouse, especially one that is this affordable. They don’t break the mold, but the Rival 3 Gen 2 comes in wired or wireless flavors, and it’s extremely reliable, like a Toyota Camry.

    Emeet

    SmartCam S800

    This 4K webcam does particularly well in low-light conditions, and should be a decent step up from your laptop webcam. Just make sure to use the included software to tweak the colors, as they’re a bit green right out of the box.

    Keychron

    Q6 HE

    When it comes to mechanical keyboards, no one does it quite like Keychron. This full-size model includes a numberpad, function row, navigation keys, an extra knob, and even four macros keys in the upper right corner. It’s not a huge sale, but Keychron discounts are rare.

    Plugable

    USB-C Dual HDMI Display Horizontal Docking Station

    If you work entirely off a laptop, especially one with limited ports, a docking station like this is exactly what you need to reliably extend your workstation with multiple monitors and high-powered accessories.

    Dell

    27 Plus 4K Monitor (S2725QS)

    The $200 range used to buy you a crappy, 1080p monitor with terrible colors. But today, it can afford you a beautiful 4K monitor with a 120-Hz refresh rate and a fully-adjustable stand. It’s IPS, but it has decent color coverage and accuracy, with a max brightness of 355 nits. Just be warned: it doesn’t have built-in USB ports and the stand doesn’t have enough height adjustment to be used as a vertical monitor. But for basic, at-home use, you won’t find another monitor with the complete package that the Dell 27 Plus 4K has.—Luke Larsen

    Dell

    32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor (S3225QC)

    Finally, a proper HDR-ready OLED monitor made for creators and media instead of just gaming that won’t kill your budget.

    AOC

    QD-OLED Monitor (Q27G4ZD)

    At an all-time low price, this AOC monitor brings blazing-fast, QD-OLED gaming to its most affordable price ever.

    Samsung

    32-Inch Smart Monitor M9 M90SF

    I love the concept of this display, which lives somewhere between OLED monitor and TV. It’s perfect for a mixed-use room that’s home office by day and entertainment room by night.

    Samsung

    Odyssey G6 OLED Gaming Monitor

    This 27-inch OLED monitor is the perfect balance of sharpness (1440p) and speed (360-Hz), all put together in one of the beautiful gaming displays you can buy.

    Best Wifi Router Deal: Asus RT-BE58U for $98 ($52 off)

    Photograph: Simon Hill

    This is the Wi-Fi 7 router I recommend for most people in our best Wi-Fi routers guide because it’s easy to set up and will cover homes and apartments up to around 2,000 square feet with fast and reliable connectivity. It’s only dual-band, so you do miss out on the 6-GHz band, but you get all the other advantages of Wi-Fi 7. It also has a generous array of ports and comes with free security software and parental controls. Support for VPN service, separate IoT or guest networks, and Ai Mesh rounds out an excellent device. Simon Hill

    Amazon

    Eero Pro 6E

    One of my favorite mesh systems, this Wi-Fi 6E mesh is ideal for smart homes, provides reliably speedy Wi-Fi, and is oh-so-easy to set up and use. You can nab the three-pack for 40 percent off.

    TP-Link

    Deco BE67

    This high-performing, tri-band, Wi-Fi 7 mesh is the runner-up in my best mesh guide, and it’s a great value at this discounted price, which is $200 below standard.

    Amazon

    Eero 6

    If you want whole-home Wi-Fi that’s easy and hands-off, and you don’t care about the cutting edge, this Eero 6 mesh will serve you well.

    TP-Link

    Deco X50 Outdoor

    This was the outdoor pick of the best mesh systems for a while, and it’s well worth a look at this price if you want to bring better Wi-Fi to your backyard.

    Best TV Deal: TCL QM6k for $498 ($252 off)

    Image may contain: Electronics, Screen, Computer Hardware, Hardware, Monitor, TV, Person, Adult, Ball, Football, and Soccer

    Photograph: Ryan Waniata

    This is our favorite TV for most people, because it offers excellent color and great processing, and contains virtually every app you could want. Mini LED backlighting means that you’ll have excellent contrast and plenty of performance in bright rooms, and TCL’s anti-glare technology makes it nice even when sunlight hits it. Its price is the main appeal; you’ll pay hundreds of dollars more for a TV that looks any better. —Parker Hall

    More TV Deals

    LG

    G5 OLED

    The G5 is LG’s highest-end OLED, and it is perhaps the prettiest screen we saw all year. With the price dropping below $2,000, it’s a no-brainer for your home theater update.

    Sony

    Bravia 8 II QD-OLED

    Sony TVs are high-priced for a reason: They have the best processing in the game, and they tend to look just a bit sharper than their competitors.

    LG

    C5

    This is probably the best all-around OLED of the year. We’ve yet to get this specific model in for testing, but the C series models we have tested in the past offer a great mix of brightness and color, and good performance for gaming and sports.

    TCL

    QM8K QLED

    This is a higher-end TCL that is great for bright rooms and sports, thanks to a super high peak brightness.

    Best Streaming Device Deal: Roku Streaming Stick Plus for $19 ($21 off)

    Roku

    Streaming Stick Plus (2025)

    The Roku Streaming Stick Plus is what I’d recommend for anyone who just wants to enable an older TV to stream modern apps. It looks fine, but I’d get a nicer stick if you have a newer TV. That said, you really cannot beat this $20 price. This is a device that can breathe new life into an older screen in your basement or garage, or which you can use to stream your shows in a hotel room without being too annoyed if you someday leave it behind. —Parker Hall

    Note: There are lots of great streaming service deals right now too, such as HBO Max’s $3 per month offer, which locks you in for a whole year at that price.

    Roku

    Ultra

    The highest-end Roku is the one we’d recommend if you want the highest possible streaming quality, thanks to its support for Dolby Vision.

    If you like casting to your TV from your phone, the Google TV streaming is a favorite for Android users, thanks to tight Google integration. You can save 25 percent during this event.

    Roku

    Streaming Stick 4K

    This is the best streaming stick for most people, thanks to its support for 4K resolution and HDR.

    Amazon

    Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Generation)

    This is a solid 4K streaming stick with an easy-to-use operating system that favors Amazon content.

    Best Soundbar Deal: Yamaha Audio SR-C30A for $220 ($60 off)

    Image may contain: Electronics, Speaker, and Home Theater

    Courtesy of Yamaha

    This is our favorite soundbar system for most people, thanks to its great wireless subwoofer, solid audio processing, and compact footprint below most screens. If you have been struggling to hear the voices on screen, or you’re just looking for a more cinematic experience, I recommend the SR-C30A. —Parker Hall

    More Soundbar Deals

    Sony

    Bravia Theater System 6

    If you don’t want to see speakers all around your room, the System 6 is a classy and good-looking wireless system from Sony that will fill your room with sound without physically standing out.

    Yamaha

    True X Bar 50A

    This is essentially Yamaha’s Dolby Atmos-enabled version of the SR-C30A above, and it is worth the upgrade if you’re looking for even more immersion.

    Yamaha

    SR-C20A

    This is the subwoofer-less version of our favorite soundbar for most people. If you have a smaller space and don’t need deep bass, it’s a great deal from this legendary Japanese brand.

    JBL

    Bar 500MK2

    This slim and narrow soundbar comes with a large wireless subwoofer that adds a real rumble of bass.

    Best Bluetooth Speaker Deal: JBL Flip 7 for $97 ($53 off)

    JBL’s Bluetooth speakers are some of our favorites on the market, and the Flip 7 is no different. We like how durable it is, as well as how loud the tube-shaped speaker can get when placed on a table or in a corner. —Parker Hall

    Sonos

    Era 100

    Sonos has fallen from grace in the past two years, thanks to a wonky app that still seems to have issues, but the Era 100 remains a great wireless speaker with solid sound.

    Sony

    SRS-XB100

    These little Bluetooth speakers are a great addition to a hike or camping trip, and they easily tie to a pack.

    JBL

    Clip 5

    We like the Clip series because they have a built-in carabiner that lets you clip them to anything around.

    Tribit

    Stormbox Blast 2

    This boombox-style speaker will bring the party anywhere, complete with built-in lights.

    Best Headphone Deal: Sony WH-1000XM6 for $398 ($62 off)

    These are the best noise-canceling headphones from Sony, and among the best wireless headphones you can buy. They have insane processing power that can easily silence even the loudest sounds around you, and the included microphones are also awesome for Zoom calls. Sound quality is excellent, with custom-made drivers delivering Sony’s sleek and flat sound. —Parker Hall

    More Headphone Deals

    Apple

    AirPods Pro 2 (With USB-C)

    AirPods Pro—even last-gen models like these—are absolutely still worth buying for iPhone owners. They have great noise canceling, decent sound, and they pair instantly with any iOS device. You can save 30 percent during this sale.

    Beats

    Powerbeats Pro 2

    These are some of our favorite workout headphones, thanks to their clip-based design and good integration with iOS, thanks to Apple’s Beats ownership.

    Sony

    WH-1000XM5

    Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones remain some of the finest you can buy, despite being older than the latest WH-1000XM6.

    Nothing

    Headphone (1)

    I like these see-through over-ears, which have one of the best volume knobs I have used on a pair of headphones, and which feature audio designed by acclaimed hi-fi brand KEF.

    Soundcore by Anker

    Aeroclip

    Open buds are a great way to listen to podcasts or music while also hearing the world. These are some of our favorites.

    JLab Audio

    Go Air Pop

    If you just need a dirt cheap pair of earbuds for your gym bag, these are on sale.

    Apple

    AirPods 4

    They’re not what our reviewers like, but they are popualar and close to half-off. At this price you can afford to risk losing them.

    • Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

    Google’s brand-new Pixel 10 is one of the best Android phones on the market right now—it’s rare to find a phone at this price, especially on sale, with a triple-camera system that includes a 5X optical zoom sensor. 5X! That means you won’t have trouble capturing sharp photos of birds up in the tree, your kid earning their diploma, or your favorite artist onstage. Not to mention this is one of the first flagship Android phones with Qi2 magnets, meaning, like Apple’s iPhones, you can magnetically attach the phone to wireless chargers and docks for speedy charging (and attach various fun magnetic accessories). Best of all is Google’s smart software; yes, there’s a lot of generative AI creep that isn’t super useful, but tools like Call Screen can filter out spam calls, and Now Playing automatically tells you what song is playing at the coffee shop without you having to lift a finger. Read our Best Pixel Phones guide for more details. Julian Chokkattu

    Razr Ultra (2025)

    This is the hottest flip-style folding phone of the year. The Razr Ultra comes in snazzy designs, has a surprisingly strong camera, and a very useful external display for when you don’t want to open the whole thing up.

    Motorola

    Moto G Stylus 2025

    Want to spend as little as possible but still want a good smartphone? This Moto G Stylus (make sure it’s the 2025 model) is the best bang for your buck, with wireless charging, good performance, a headphone jack, a microSD card slot, and, naturally, a built-in stylus.

    Best Mobile Accessory Deal: Nomad 65W Slim Power Adapter for $41 ($8 off)

    Nomad

    65W Slim Power Adapter

    This is my favorite charger, and I’ve been using it for all my gadgets for several years. Nomad’s 65-watt charger is incredibly slim, and it can fit in the tiniest pouches of a bag or purse. It comes with two USB-C ports. When both are in use, you get 45 watts out of the left port and 20 out of the right. If one device is plugged in, the 65 watts of power is more than enough for tablets and phones, and should be sufficient for a MacBook Air or Windows laptop (unless it’s a high-powered machine). Julian Chokkattu

    The best way for iPhone users to stop losing their stuff is to attach one of these AirTags to it. Black Friday pricing makes it easy to stock up.

    Ultra Hybrid MagFit Case

    This Spigen clear case comes in several fun designs that portray the internal components of a smartphone. It’s my favorite cheap case for the iPhone 17 range, though it’s also available for devices dating back to the iPhone 14 Pro.

    Ray-Ban

    Whatever you think of Meta’s AI policies (they’re garbage) the best smart glasses are the ones that you already want to wear. Last year’s version are now on sale.

    UAG

    UAG makes bold and loud cases for iPhones, Pixel, and Samsung phones, and you’ll find the brand in many of our case guides. The Pathfinder is most often my favorite of its designs, especially in the bright colors. Right now, it’s offering 30 percent off your entire order with the code SAVEMORE.

    OtterBox

    Commuter, Defender Pro, and Defender XT

    I’ve featured the cases for Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series here, but OtterBox makes cases for many popular smartphones, and it’s currently offering 40 percent off sitewide and up to 50 percent off on select products. Its Commuter and Defender series are the more protective cases, but the Symmetry series has lots of fun designs.

    Best Tablet Deal: Apple iPad A16 (2025) for $274 ($75 off)

    The current model of iPad (A16) has dropped below the $300 price we typically see on sales. This is a basic tablet that functions as a second screen for everything from watching movies on a flight to checking the news in bed without your reading glasses.

    OnePlus

    Pad 3

    OnePlus may have just announced a cheaper tablet—the OnePlus Pad Go 2—but the OnePlus Pad 3 is still a fantastic high-end tablet that has a large 13.2-inch screen without a crazy price. It has excellent multitasking features and great performance.

    Samsung

    Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra

    I haven’t tested the Galaxy Tab S11 yet, but I did test its larger sibling, the Tab S11 Ultra. They share many of the same specs, though the Ultra has overkill features like Wi-Fi 7 support, an extra ultrawide camera, and more storage. The smaller Tab S11 is a much better buy, especially at this price.

    3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Stand

    After testing many, many Apple 3-in-1 wireless chargers, this is the one that claimed a permanent place on my bedside table. I love the classy mix of chrome and soft-touch black plastic, and the weighted base enables you to grab your iPhone without pulling the whole charger off your nightstand. The iPhone pad also tilts and holds your iPhone vertically or horizontally, with support for StandBy mode. It can fast-charge capable iPhone and Apple Watch models and charge any AirPods with a wireless charging case. The 5-foot braided cable is permanently attached and there’s a 36-watt wall charger in the box. —Simon Hill

    This is the current generation of Echo Dot, which is now a few years old but not showing its age. This wee device has powerful, robust sound and works great if you want Alexa access in a discreet space. It’s been in my hallway so I can ask quick questions as I move through the house, and in my bedroom as an alarm clock. It’s some of the best sound you can get for this price, especially when it’s on sale as it is for Black Friday. —Nena Farrell

    Kindle Paperwhite (2024, 12th Generation)

    The latest generation Kindle Paperwhite came out last fall, and it’s got just about everything we want in an e-reader: an auto-adjusting warm light, a three-month battery life, snappy performance, integration with Overdrive so you can get your library books, and the ability to “speak” several languages.

    Amazon

    Echo Dot Max

    The best overall Amazon speaker didn’t go on sale for the price we were hoping for this Black Friday, but it’s still slightly discounted. When I reviewed this device I was impressed with the sound quality and volume for such a small speaker, and doesn’t lack in bass like many of its competitors.

    Amazon

    Kindle Scribe (2024)

    The Kindle Scribe is a great combo e-reader and digital notebook. There are a few new models coming soon, but we still think this one is worth buying, especially since it’s on sale for $120 off.

    Amazon

    Best Digital Notebook Deal: reMarkable 2 Bundle for $408 ($70 Off)

    • Photograph: Nena Farrell

    One of the best digital notebooks you can get is the reMarkable 2. It’s my favorite budget option, which might seem weird since it’s not necessarily the cheapest option (it’s the same price as the Kindle Scribe) it’s the best for the features and the available accessories like a keyboard folio at the price point, and it is a lower price point than you’ll find for the rest of reMarkable’s lineup or competitors like Supernote. You can get bundles (you’ll need to choose both a marker and folio) of the reMarkable 2 for $70 right now, letting you add on your favorite folio or upgrade the marker without paying as much as you usually would. The digital notebooks from reMarkable are rarely on sale, so don’t miss this one. —Nena Farrell

    Best Vacuum Deal: Dyson V15s Detect Submarine for $699 ($351 Off)

    Dyson

    V15s Detect Submarine

    This is the lowest price we’ve seen all year for this fantastic Dyson vacuum. It’s our favorite vacuum cleaner for both wet and dry cleaning, since it takes the technology we love from the V15 and adds a wet mop head attachment. You sadly can’t buy the attachment and use it with an existing V15, but if you’re already in the market for a new stick vac and want one that can do both, WIRED reviewer Adrienne So says this vacuum is one of the best things that has ever happened to her. —Nena Farrell

    Best Robot Vacuum Deal: Yeedi M12 Pro+ for $340 ($460 off)

    Image may contain: Appliance, Device, and Electrical Device

    Photograph: Wired

    Normally, I would expect to spend around $1000 for a new, well-functioning, dual-function vacuum-mop robot vacuum. But you can get an even bigger break on price if you look at past-season models. Yeedi is the affordable sub-brand of the higher-end Ecovacs. The main feature that this extremely well-priced robot vacuum has is that at 4- and 3.5-liter capacities, the clean/dirty water tanks are just ginormous. You won’t have to switch them out too often. It also has an extendable arm for cleaning hard-to-reach places and a decent 11,000 Pa of suction.—Adrienne So

    Best Air Purifier Deal: Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact for $300 ($50 off)

    Dyson

    HushJet Purifier Compact

    The debut of Dyson’s first tabletop-sized air purifier was just announced in September; it’s finally here, and we’ve tried it. Its claim to fame is that it uses electrostatic filtration, which incorporates electrically charged plates to attract dust, pollen, dander, and other allergens. In our guide to the Best Air Purifiers, WIRED contributor Lisa Wood Shapiro notes this means the filter can last up to five years, as opposed to six to 12 months like a typical HEPA. She thought it was a little loud, measuring twice the advertised decibels on its highest setting, but is otherwise a great option for smaller areas like bedrooms. —Kat Merck

It also boasts reliable AI recognition for people and pets, a direct Wi-Fi connection, and a siren to scare intruders away. The Arlo app is swift to load, boasts the best notifications, and supports two-factor authentication, so you can log in with your fingerprint or face, phone permitting. The catch is a pricey subscription (Arlo Secure costs $8 per month for one camera or $13 per month for unlimited cameras) that’s required for subject recognition, smart alerts, and cloud storage. —Simon Hill

You can enjoy it without a subscription (though for the AI identification and image/video storage, you’ll want to spring for the extra $5 a month), and the app makes it easy to save and share great captures of birds. Note that Birdfy only works with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and the base model comes without a solar panel. I don’t mind this, as Birdfy’s panel has to be mounted separately, and it’s hard to do this when the feeder is installed on a pole, which is what I recommend. —Kat Merck

    Indoor Hydroponic Garden

    I test indoor hydroponic garden systems all year round, and Gardyn has been my consistent favorite. I have two of them—the Home 4, with 30 plants, and the brand-new Studio 2, with 16 plants—and they both look like living works of art, overflowing with everything from peas and peppers to nasturtiums and even canna lilies. The systems do take a fair amount of maintenance, but as a busy, full-time working parent, it’s nothing I haven’t been able to handle. If you’ve been curious about these, all Gardyn systems are now 20 percent off for Black Friday, netting you $180 off a Home or $111 off a Studio.

Filter replacement is easy, meaning you’re likely to actually do it, and Canopy’s filter replacements don’t cost as much as some competitors. The upfront price is usually more of a barrier, but half off is a very good discount. Matthew Korfhage

    Photograph: Adrienne So

    If you already own an Apple Watch, I generally do not advocate upgrading to the latest model, given they’re all pretty iterative. I do think that this year’s Series 11 is worth getting because, for the first time ever, it really does have a full 24 hours of battery life. It’s on sale for $369 right now. But last year’s Series 10 (Apple’s 10th anniversary watch) has the same S10 chip as the latest watches. It also has the same slim case, large screen, and is compatible with watchOS 26 (with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone), so you can still enjoy the Liquid Glass design, Workout Buddy, and flick away Smart Stack with your wrist. —Adrienne So

It’s easy to set up right out of the box, and you can control it either via the Bluetooth remote or the app. If you use the app, it offers workouts with pretty scenery and will also log your workout data from the machine so you don’t need a separate fitness tracker. It feels pretty stable underfoot and there are also fun extras, like little lights under the side rail so you can feel like walking is a party! —Adrienne So

    Here it is; the one, the only, the legend—the original air styler that spawned a hundred imitators. I tested it for the first time this year for my guide to the Best Hair Straighteners. I had heard that it wasn’t a one-stop shop for 3a curly hair and above, and as you can see from my picture above, it’s not. I still needed to use a traditional flat iron afterward, especially on the top of my head. But the Dyson engineering and quality are evident in every small detail, from the Hyperdymium motor—same as in Dyson’s vacuum cleaners—to the glass bead thermistors that regulate the tool’s temperature. I can see how it would be life-changing for those with wavy or just generally easier-to-straighten hair. The Airstrait doesn’t go on sale all that often, so if it was on your Christmas shopping list, now is the time. —Kat Merck

Frankly, it’s a contender for my favorite grooming set overall in part because of the ridiculously good performance on the foil shaver attachment (Philips kills it on foil shavers in general).

Champion’s iconic reverse-weave hoodie is the father of the format, and still holds its own in a world where every brand makes its own version. The fabric is sturdy but stretchy and ages gracefully over many wash cycles. —Martin Cizmar

    Proof

    72-Hour Merino T-Shirt

    Huckberry’s Proof 72-Hour Merino is our favorite merino wool T-shirt. It’s more versatile than others, with a cut and style that are as good for everyday wear as for outdoor adventures and workouts at the gym.

    How Does WIRED Find the Best Deals?

    We spend our entire working lives testing products and, in part, tracking how much they cost. That way, we can spot a good deal from one that’s just a markdown of an artificially inflated price (a practice far too common, sadly). We also use price-checking tools like Camelcamelcamel, but since we only cover items we’ve actually tested, it’s not that hard for us to keep track of prices and know what’s a good deal and what’s not.

    What Is the Best Time to Shop?

    In a word: now. The best Black Friday deals are happening right now, and we’ve rounded up our favorites in this guide. In the olden days, Black Friday was just one day long. Shoppers would camp outside of stores, paper circulars in hand, eagerly awaiting the chance to bust down some doors and save a ton of cash. Fast-forward to the internet, and now Black Friday lasts more or less the entire month of November.

    Black Friday Retailers To Watch

    Amazon: For better or worse, Amazon has changed the game when it comes to shopping—if you want it, Amazon probably sells it. In the tradition of Amazon Prime Day, Amazon is rolling out major discounts for Black Friday and Cyber Monday on everything from bedding to home office gear to TVs to air fryers. This is a good time to save on the brand’s own hardware, like Kindles and Blink security cameras, some of which are 50% off.

    Walmart: The Arkansas-based big box store has lots of tech deals like the gray colorway of Beats Solo4 for $79 ($50 off) plus the home and garden deals you’d expect like a Blackstone griddle for $157 ($67 off).

    REI: Outdoor co-op REI is a favorite among hikers, campers, and general outdoor enthusiasts. REI’s cyber week sale starts November 29, with rotating deals on a myriad of WIRED-tested products, though you will find their deals live now, notably not called “Black Friday.”

    Home Depot: Home improvement projects and general home upkeep can get costly quick. Home Depot has Black Friday discounts for virtually everything you need for the home, including Christmas trees and smart home appliances.

    Branch: We love Branch’s home office furniture, including some WIRED-tested favorite office chairs. Everything is 20 percent off for Black Friday, so now’s a great time to upgrade.

    Helix: We love Helix mattresses—if you’re going to be spending a third of your life on something, it better be good. Upgrade your sleep for less with Helix’s Black Friday sale, with 25 percent off sitewide.

    Target: Target has everything from groceries to flat screens to celebrity-endorsed beauty products. In addition to regular Black Friday sales, Target has price match guarantee and doorbuster clearance items.

    Best Buy: In addition to major discounts for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Best Buy rolls out new doorbusters every Friday, slashing prices on everything from refrigerators to MacBooks. We’ve rounded up the best Best Buy deals we’ve seen so far, including the latest Apple MacBook Pro (M5) for $1,349 ($250 off) and Google Pixel 10 for $599 ($200 off).

    Dyson: Making everything from blow dryers to vacuums to air purifiers, we at WIRED are generally huge fans of this well-made, long-lasting (but often pricey) tech, made a lot more affordable with Black Friday sales.

    Lowe’s: In addition to Black Friday sales, Lowe’s has rotating daily deals on home improvement essentials, upgraded appliances, and outdoor tools like grills and lawnmowers.

    Atlas: At WIRED, we love caffeine, and subscription services. So we go bonkers for this coffee club subscription, and now you can get a free bag of beans for Black Friday.

    Sephora: Not only does Sephora have a dizzying amount of cosmetics, it also carries some of our favorite WIRED-tested hair straighteners, blow dry brushes, and LED devices.

  • Get the Pain Out of Your Back With the Best Hyperice Massage Device Deals

    [ad_1]

    Hyperice’s Black Friday deals are live, and they’re not ones to miss. Hyperice is one of the top wellness recovery brands in the industry, trusted by athletes, college sports programs, and professional facilities. From percussive massage guns to heated wraps, we’ve rounded up the best Hyperice Black Friday deals. All of these gadgets have been tested and vetted by WIRED staffers, but we’ve also included some gear that we have yet to test if the discount may be too good to pass up. Products are selling out fast, and the prices change frequently, so check back for the latest updates.

    For more intel on sales, check out our Best Black Friday Deals roundup or our Black Friday liveblog.

    WIRED Featured Deals

    The Best Massage Gun For Under $200

    Photograph: Hyperice

    The Hypervolt 2 is the best percussive massage gun on the market (for most people). At 1.8 pounds, it’s light enough to pick up after an intense workout, and the 60-watt brushless motor delivers relatively quiet percussions. It has three speed settings and five interchangeable heads (fork, ball, cushion, flat, and bullet), and it’s built with a pressure sensor that lets you know when you’re pushing too hard, kind of like an electric toothbrush. You can usually get around three hours of continuous use per charge, and since it’s TSA-friendly, you can throw it in your carry-on for long travels.

    The Best Recovery Shoes Are on Sale

    Nike × Hyperice

    Hyperboot

    The Hyperboot is on sale for the first time. These recovery boots pair the brand’s heat tech with its Normatec-like compression for a warm, pressurized therapy that feels incredible both before and after a workout. You can toggle between three compression levels (50, 130, and 210 mmHg) and heat (111, 118, and 125 degrees Fahrenheit) using the built-in control panel. Slip on both, and they sync automatically. You typically get around 90 minutes of continuous use per charge, depending on how hot and tight you run them. They’re IP54 rated, meaning they’re dust- and splash-resistant. They’re also TSA-approved.

    These Compression Sleeves Are a Travel Essential

    Whether I’m running, traveling, or sitting too long at my desk, my calves are the first place I feel pain. Hyperice’s portable air-compression sleeves have become my go-to remedy when I’m sore or stiff. They’re also a useful recovery to have if you struggle with bad circulation or chronic pain. There are seven intensity levels, 360-degree compression, and three overlapping zones that deliver a rhythmic relief I can’t get from a massage gun. I’d happily pay full price for the Normatec go, so seeing them on sale is just a cherry on top.

    This Shoulder Wrap Is $130 Off

    The Hyperice X Shoulder is a contrast therapy wrap that’s smarter than your typical ice pack or heating pad. With five levels of heat, cold, and compression, you can dial in exactly what you need. It’s helpful for warm-ups and recoveries, but especially for rehabbing a minor strain. The battery lasts around 90 minutes on the highest heat setting and about an hour on the highest cold setting.

    A Vibrating Heated Wrap for Lower Back Pain

    Hyperice Venom 2 Back, a black rectangular massage band with charger and accessories

    Courtesy of Hyperice

    Hyperice’s Venom 2 Back is a neoprene wrap that delivers vibration therapy and even heat across your lower back. I use it after strenuous strength training and anytime my back aches from hunching over my laptop all day. It’s also a game-changer if you suffer from menstrual cramps that extend to your lower back. You can toggle between three heat levels (113, 122, and 131 degrees Fahrenheit) and three vibration frequencies. It boosts circulation, loosens tight muscles, and is overall a great tool to have for mobility warm-ups. I especially appreciate the 15-minute auto shut-off, so I don’t have to worry about overdoing it.

  • Black Friday deals include Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones for an all-time low

    [ad_1]

    Black Friday deals have come for Sony gear, and that means you can get some of the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market for less. The still-excellent WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones are down to $250, which is the lowest price we’ve seen them. Yes, the latest model, the XM6, have technically replaced these in Sony’s lineup. But if the latest flagships are out of your price range, these former Engadget favorites are well worth considering at this heavily reduced price.

    Sony

    We awarded the WH-1000XM5 a score of 95 in our 2022 review, praising the supremely comfortable redesign, sound quality and powerful ANC. Battery life is also very respectable at 30 hours. We found the punchy bass an improvement over their predecessors, and the overall sound deeper and more immersive than the M4 headphones. As for noise-canceling, Sony’s decision to double the number of microphones and processors used for ANC means an improvement in blocking higher frequency sounds, such as human voices. They aren’t entirely baby scream-proof, but then few headphones are.

    Naturally, the WH-1000XM6 that this year replaced the M5 as Sony’s flagship model offers even better sound quality and noise cancellation, while remaining extremely comfortable throughout long listening sessions. But they’re also a lot more expensive at $450 — they’re on sale now for $398 for Black Friday, so you have the option to upgrade to the latest flagship if you’re willing to spend a bit more. However, we still think the XM5 deal is the best value for most people here.

  • Anker Black Friday deals will save you up to 50 percent on power banks, wireless chargers, power adapters and more

    [ad_1]

    Loads of Anker gear is , and we rounded up the best deals we could find right here. We decided we like Anker so much, it deserves its own roundup. Afterall, the brand makes some of our favorite accessories for keeping phones, tablets and computers charged up and otherwise connected with excellent , , and more. Part of why we love this stuff is the affordability — particularly for what you get — but now these Anker make these buys an even better value. Don’t hesitate to stock up.

    Black Friday deals: Anker power banks

    Power banks revive dead phones, let you work longer while away from an outlet and allow you to play with your tablet/ereader/gamepad while it charges without being tethered to a wall. After testing out brands from a slew of different makers, our picks just keep coming back to Anker. The mix of value, capacity and clever features make Anker batteries just a little bit better than a lot of the brands out there.

    Anker makes the Laptop Power bank, which our reviewer (me) called the culmination of all the best battery features. The brand is also responsible for our top MagSafe battery pick (the MagGo Qi2) thanks to its clever stand, excellent charging speeds and generous capacity. And we think Anker’s Ultra-Slim MagSafe bank is a better deal than Apple’s Air MagSafe battery. Many of the other banks we’ve tested and tried are also on sale for Black Friday, so consider this your opportunity to make sure your phone never goes dead on you again.

    Black Friday deals: Anker wireless chargers

    A rats nest of cables on your desk is not the loveliest look. Now that phones, earbuds, smartwatches and even ereaders can refill on a charging coil, wireless chargers are a tidy solution. There are options that’ll let you view your phone while it charges, as well as some that will charge three devices at once. We’ve tested units from dozens of brands for our buying guides and keep putting Anker on our lists of winners. The brand makes some of the top picks in both our wireless charger guide and our list of the best multi-device chargers. Now, thanks to Black Friday, you can keep your devices topped off with quality accessories that are an even better value than usual.

    Black Friday deals: Anker power adapters

    While wireless charging is faster than it’s ever been, cords are still the fastest way to charge your phone. Bigger devices like your laptop will reup faster on a high-wattage brick than on a dinky 20-watt adapter and if you want to keep your outlets more streamlined, go for a multi-port power adapter that will let you charge multiple devices at once. Again, after testing many brands, some of our most reliable picks continue to be from Anker. It shows up three times in our guide to the best fast chargers and we recommend the brand in a number of our accessories guides. Now that Black Friday is here, a number of Anker power adapters are on sale — so we rounded them all up here.

    Black Friday deals: Anker Soundcore audio

    We mostly think of Anker as a charging accessory brand. But they’ve expanded their scope by getting into audio equipment — and the effort was a success. You might not immediately pick up that these are Anker speakers — Soundcore shows up on the products themselves, but it’s the same company. We recommend a couple Soundcore music makers in our guide to the best Bluetooth speakers. They also make our overall favorite pair of budget earbuds, the Space A40. With Black Friday deals in full effect, these are the best Anker Soundcore deals we could find.

    We’re fans of plenty of other brands, not just Anker. Here are some of the other charging accessories that are also on sale for Black Friday. These come from our guide to MagSafe power banks, our standard power bank guide and our best fast charger roundup. If you want to read up on why these guys made the cut, check out those links.

    My personal favorite USB-C charging cable is made by Anker. It’s rated at 240 watts, has a durable build, plus it’s six-feet long and has a handy right angled connector at one end. Anker of course also makes plenty of other gear, from webcams to mice — that show up in our guides to the best accessories again and again. Here are the best Black Friday deals on Anker gear that doesn’t quite fit into the categories above.

  • This entry-level Roomba robot vacuum is only $150 for Black Friday

    [ad_1]

    Robot vacuums can be a huge help, keeping your floors clean regularly without much extra work on your part. Black Friday deals often include some of our favorite robovacs, and this year is shaping up to be no different. iRobot’s entry-level Roomba 104 Vac robot vacuum is available for 40 percent off right now, bringing it down to a record low of $150. A number of other Roombas are on sale for Black Friday, too.

    In iRobot’s lineup of robot vacuums, the Roomba 104 sits on the low end, adept at vacuuming up dust and hair, but without the mopping ability of its more expensive Max, Plus or Combo counterparts. The Roomba 104 Vac makes for a great first robot vacuum all the same, though, because of its four levels of powerful suction, and easy-to-use app. Like iRobot’s other vacuums, the Roomba 104 maps and navigates your home with LiDAR, which helps it avoid obstacles. And using the Roomba Home app, you can schedule it to clean specific rooms, and even spot-clean particularly dirty spots.

    iRobot

    The Roomba 104 is available for 40 percent off its normal price.

    $150 at Amazon

    An earlier version of the Roomba Vac is Engadget’s favorite budget robot vacuum, and you’ll get the same great performance out of the newer Roomba 104 Vac. That includes a specialized brush for cleaning the hard-to-reach corners of your home, and also a charging dock that the vacuum can automatically return to once it’s down charging.

    This sale on Roomba vacuums comes at an admittedly difficult time for iRobot at large, with the company dealing with a serious financial shortfall as of its last earning statement. Regardless of what happens to iRobot, though, the Roomba 104 Vac’s offline mode should mean that it can clean your home and charge itself without the need of an app or an internet connection.

  • Black Friday deal: Get $50 off the Xreal One Pro smart glasses

    [ad_1]

    If you’ve been thinking about jumping on the smart glasses bandwagon, Black Friday deals could help you do so for less. Xreal has discounted its One Pro smart glasses by $50 for Black Friday, bringing them down to $599. The sale applies to both sizes.

    These glasses are the real deal. We praised them in our official review, saying they offer similar functionality to the Apple Vision Pro, but at a much friendlier price point. Wearing these glasses allows access to a massive 222-inch virtual display that can be used for just about anything. The glasses connect to laptops, gaming consoles and smartphones, among other gadgets.

    Xreal

    The 1080p Micro-OLED screens are surprisingly bright and sharp, which makes this device great for both work and consuming content. The frames even darken to give the illusion of wearing sunglasses.

    The glasses are light and comfortable, especially when compared to the Vision Pro. However, the comfort does come at a price. These oversized glasses are not as immersive as Apple’s product, because they don’t completely block out light and cover the entire face. They offer a 57-degree field of view. This is squarely an augmented reality product and not a virtual reality product.

    The company has also discounted its Xreal One AR glasses to $399, which is a discount of around $100. These offer smaller virtual screens than the Pro, with a 50-degree field of view.

  • The Ninja Slushi Is as Cheap as It’s Been for Black Friday

    [ad_1]

    For the first year of its life, the Ninja Slushi didn’t go on sale much. Mostly what it did was sell out of stock—over and over and over.

    But of course it did. The Ninja Slushi offers something that feels so rare these days: adult fun. It was the first device that really brought the bar slushie machine into the American home kitchen. It basically just takes whatever flavors you already have on hand and makes it into the kind of boozy slushie that would be sold at the 7-Elevens in heaven.

    Anyway, it’s now on a hefty sale—matching its lowest price for the full-time machine since it first went on sale in July 2024, then sold out almost instantaneously. On Amazon and the Ninja site, the Slushi is on sale for just $270, just in time for holiday gifts and holiday parties.

    • Photograph: Matthew Korfhage

    • Photograph: Matthew Korfhage

    I can attest to enjoying the Ninja Slushi immensely. I have made cold-brew slushie lattes, mimosa slushies, frosé slushies, daiquiri and margarita slushies, sour-beer slushies, Mike’s Hard Mango Lemonade Slushies, and of course slushies made with fruit juice and simple syrup for parties full of children. All things cold and sweet are delicious.

    The Ninja Slushi was discounted to $300 as recently as October. At the time, this was the lowest I expected to see the price fall this year. Glad to be wrong, I guess.

    But discounts often come when brands release next-generation devices. And in late October, Ninja released a big-boi update to the Slushi. The Slushi Max XXL is named a bit like an energy drink and holds a whopping 150 fluid ounces—making it the likely choice for frat houses and patio parties next year. We haven’t tested it yet, but Ninja promises that the larger capacity also comes with faster freezing to keep pace.

    The Ninja Slushi Max, too, is on a steep sale. If you go to the Ninja site, you can get the new, larger device for just $350; same as the regular asking price for the smaller Ninja.

    Image may contain: Cream, Dessert, Food, Ice Cream, Appliance, Device, Electrical Device, Mixer, Beverage, and Juice

    The Amazon price is a little bit higher on the Slushi Max XXL, at least for now—though Ninja has a cascade of overlapping sales before and during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so don’t expect this price to remain wholly stable.

    Either way, cheap slushies for everyone.

    Check out a whole host of other Early Black Friday Deals, including a raft of early Best Buy deals and early deals on Google Pixels.

  • Dyson Black Friday deals: Get up to $600 off robot vacuums and cordless vacuums

    [ad_1]

    Black Friday deals are starting to pop up across the web, and a great one to check out is at Dyson. While we still think you have the best shot to get the steepest discounts the closer to Black Friday we get, some of the discounts on Dyson’s site right now are some of the best we’ve seen. One of those is $600 off the Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum, which is down to a record low of $400.

    Valentina Palladino for Engadget

    Pick up one of the strongest robot vacuums we’ve tested for more than half off.

    $400 at Dyson

    Dyson was pretty late to the robot-vacuum party, but its entry was (and remains) one of the strongest in the category. It doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles like a self-emptying base or mopping capabilities, but it makes up for that by having probably the best suction power of any robovac we’ve tested. All kinds of debris will fall in its path: dirt, dust, food crumbs, pet hair and more. It also has excellent obstacle avoidance, so you’ll rarely — if ever — have to dislodge it from getting stuck on the edge of a carpet or wedged in between furniture. Dyson’s mobile app is easy to use as well, so if you’re looking for a robot vacuum that does its main job incredibly well and you don’t mind skipping on some extras, the 360 Vis Nav is a great option.

    Cordless vacuums are also a part of the sale. Take the Dyson V9 Motorbar cordless vacuum on sale for just $270 at both Dyson and Amazon, which is a discount of $330. That’s more than half off. Dyson devices are all over our list of the best cordless vacuums, and for good reason. The company makes effective products. The V9 Motorbar has been designed to clean all floor types, in addition to upholstery. It’s also been engineered to squeeze into tight spots, which is great for hitting those oft-neglected parts of the home.

    The suction power is on point and the battery lasts for 40 minutes before requiring a charge. That’s just enough time to vacuum a standard-sized home if you don’t stop for too many breaks. The V9 is getting a bit long-in-the-tooth. If you want a newer model, the V11 Extra is on sale for $400, which is a discount of $260. This one boosts the suction power and increases the battery life to 60 minutes.

  • This is the Shark robot vacuum to get for Black Friday

    [ad_1]

    Our pick for the best robot vacuum (or at least one of its many variants) is on sale. Amazon’s Black Friday deals include the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum. This model has a list price of $599, but you can snag one for $250. That’s 58 percent off — and a record low.

    One of this model’s standout features is its bagless design. Like many robovacs, it has an auto-empty station. But here, you can remove part of the base, dump its contents in the garbage, and lock it back in place. The base holds up to 60 days of dirt and debris, and you’ll never need to order bag refills.

    Shark

    The Shark AI Ultra has strong suction and decent obstacle avoidance (via LiDAR). The robovac cleans in a matrix grid. It auto-maps your home and supports Google Assistant and Alexa for voice control.

    The vacuum has a runtime of about 120 minutes. (If it needs to stop and charge, it will auto-resume afterward.) Also note that this is a vacuum-only model: no mopping here.

  • Black Friday deals include the Meta Quest 3S for a record-low price

    [ad_1]

    Black Friday deals have come for VR headsets, and you can pick up our favorite budget set for less than usual. Meta’s entry-level Quest 3S is 17 percent off and down to $250 for the 128GB version right now. Its normal price is $300, and with this version you get the game Gorilla Tag for free. There’s also a 256GB option, which is on sale for $330, down from its usual price of $400.

    Meta

    The Meta Quest 3S is an impressive VR headset for the price, and scored a 90 in Engadget’s review, landing it among our picks for the best VR headsets around right now. It’s comfortable to wear, gets over two hours of battery life before needing to be recharged and offers a 96-degree field of view. While its 1,830 by 1,920 pixel per eye screen doesn’t quite achieve the sharpness of the Quest 3, it does have the same chip — the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 — as the pricier model, making for fast performance. It also comes with 8GB of RAM.

    The Quest 3S also comes with the Touch Plus controllers, which have button and joystick controls as well as motion controls. It can also connect to gaming PCs and stream gameplay to Chromecast and AirPlay devices. Despite being relatively inexpensive, the 3S offers a great experience. In his review, Engadget’s Devindra Hardawar said the 3S is “the best $300 standalone VR headset we’ve ever seen.”

  • The GoPro Hero 13 Black action camera is cheaper than ever for Black Friday

    [ad_1]

    Action cams make great gifts, or if you’re a photographer, a solid addition to your kit. Black Friday deals usually mean you can pick up new cameras and accessories for less, and this year is no different. One of the best deals we’ve found is on the GoPro Hero 13 Black action cam, which is down to $310 for Black Friday. That’s a discount of 23 percent or $90.

    This model topped our list of the best action cameras, and for good reason. It’s a fantastic device with all kinds of bells and whistles. It’s the most versatile Hero camera that GoPro has ever made. There’s a new family of modular lenses and it can shoot up to 5.3K and handle 2X optical zoom.

    GoPro

    The battery is bigger than ever before and offers around 90 minutes of continuous shooting in 4K/30FPS. The camera is waterproof up to 10 millimeters, so don’t worry about puddles. The full-color front screen is vivid and makes it easy to review footage without getting a computer involved.

    There’s no internal storage here, but it accepts microSD cards. There’s a camera bundle on sale right now that includes a 64GB microSD, three batteries, a dual charger and a case. That pack costs $349, which is a discount of 30 percent.

  • American households cut holiday budgets, still prioritize gifts | Long Island Business News

    [ad_1]

    THE BLUEPRINT:

    • U.S. holiday budgets fall over 10% amid inflation concerns, survey finds

    • , toys, and games remain top gift picks

    • 83% of shoppers plan to visit physical stores

    • and in-store perks drive engagement

    Holiday budgets are expected to shrink by more than 10 percent this year, as elevated costs weigh on consumers. Still gift-giving remains a priority, with gift cards, and toys and games popular selections.

    That’s according to JLL’s U.S. Survey. Released in September, the report features the sentiments of 1,001 consumers, who were surveyed online. The survey reveals a sense of caution over spending on costly technology items, and a preference for gift cards, allowing recipients the flexibility to select their own presents.

    According to the survey, shoppers are trimming spending habits from $1,261 to $1,133 on food, decor and entertainment, but gift budgets remain unchanged. Still, higher-income shoppers from households that bring in more than $150,000 annually, expect to increase spending to $1,963, up from $1,599 last year.

    The survey also found that shoppers who linger more than 90 minutes spend $1,416, while those who visit stores quickly, in under 30 minutes, spend $792, showing that “dwell” time drives revenue. To encourage longer visits, JLL suggests offering such amenities as seating, charging stations, Wi-Fi, holiday music and warm drinks. JLL also recommends tracking time spent in stores through app check-ins or parking validation, and offering incentives such as loyalty points, extended parking or bundled discounts with nearby food partners and entertainment venues.

    And while 16.3 percent plan to shop exclusively online, 83 percent expect to visit physical retailers. Mass merchandisers are slated to attract more than 62 percent of consumers, signaling that many prefer “value-focused, one-stop shopping destinations.”

    With concerns about inflation, 60.6 percent said they are actively seeking more deals this year, with 71 percent prioritizing low prices.  More than 46 percent, up from over 44 percent last year, plan to scope deals during Black Friday and . And more than 37 percent plan to purchase less expensive gifts, while nearly 25 percent said they plan to  shop for fewer people. Still, shoppers report that they would also seek out deals throughout the season. To create awareness about deals, Jll suggests making promotions highly visible with digital signage, mobile alerts and cross-store savings . Also recommended is placing deals front and center online and in store, and offering flash sales to create urgency.

    Meantime, 25 percent plan to skip personal purchases, up from 17.3 percent last year.

    Social media continues to play a pivotal role in holiday shopping, with 79% of consumers using it for inspiration, down slightly from 81% in 2024. Gen Z consumers show a strong preference for TikTok, with 46.2% using the platform for its engaging, video-driven content. Millennials are turning to Facebook, Instagram and X for their holiday planning, reflecting a preference for varied content. Meanwhile, of those 60 and older, 57.9% avoid social media entirely for holiday inspiration, but those who do engage prefer Facebook and Instagram, highlighting these platforms’ ability to connect across generations. JLL suggests that retailers can create content-friendly spaces with photo backdrops, festive lighting and influencer events. Contests for posts or check-ins can drive engagement and visibility.

    Shoppers at open-air centers value festive décor and music that create a holiday atmosphere. Mall shoppers seek perks like gift-wrapping and visits with Santa, while online shoppers prioritize efficiency and avoiding mall crowds.

    Meanwhile, , Walmart and Target are a favorite among consumers, while Costco and Macy’s are also popular, but less so. Shoppers are also drawn to Etsy and Temu.

    Those earning more than $150,000 are drawn to entertainment and holiday-related experiences, including performances, dining and travel.

    Food and beverage also play a role among shoppers, with 84.6 percent saying they plan to indulge at least occasionally, with 51 percent seeking beverages. Younger shoppers prefer fast-casual spots. Older generations who combine food and shopping are more likely to want a full meal, rather than just a snack or drink, suggesting that they seek memorable experiences. JLL recommends adding seasonal drink specials, appealing hot chocolate stations and grab-and-go snacks near checkouts. And sampling stations for holiday treats can turn food into a destination, not just a convenience.

    The survey also found that nearly half of shoppers visit just three to five stores. JLL suggests that concierge-style gift stations can streamline the experience by offering recommendations, store maps and quick help, keeping visits focused and efficient for shoppers.

  • Revolve’s Black Friday 2023 Deals Are Already Here & Your Wardrobe Is About to Get a Million Times Cuter

    Revolve’s Black Friday 2023 Deals Are Already Here & Your Wardrobe Is About to Get a Million Times Cuter

    [ad_1]

    If you’ve recently contemplated revamping your wardrobe, now is the time to do it. Holiday deals are already rolling out, and among them is Revolve’s Black Friday 2023 sale. Right now, there are major discounts on dresses, denim, accessories, and more, and even a preliminary scroll has us lusting after celebrity-worthy items that will no doubt improve our everyday outfits.

    Just like in the past, Revolve’s Black Friday 2023 sale will only get better with time. While we’re currently stocking up on holiday dresses, cozy sweaters, statement heels, and even loungewear, it’s pretty much confirmed we’ll be back for round two or three, even thinking ahead to the warmer weather and summer months (we’re already eyeing a few swimsuits). We’re ready to take advantage of those holiday prices, especially since items such as GRLFRND jeans and Norma Kamali dresses are included in this mix.

    Revolve Black Friday 2023:

    Revolve‘s Black Friday sale includes dresses, denim, knitwear, accessories, and even beauty products, and the best part is that you won’t have to wait until Nov. 24 to take advantage. Discounts are available to shop now, in early November — and stuff is already selling out.

    What to Expect:

    Just like in 2022, Revolve’s Black Friday 2023 sale will continue throughout the month, with new items being added periodically. While there are already major discounts available on the site, with markdowns up to 70% off, it can be assumed that Revolve’s Black Friday deals will only get better as we approach Thanksgiving. Based on last year’s sale, there may be a Cyber Monday sale to shop as well.

    Early Black Friday Revolve Deals 2023:

    Brands such as Levi’s, Lovers and Friends, Free People, and NBD are included in Revolve’s Early Black Friday sale for 2023. Plenty of prices are in the double digits and some hot-ticket items are already selling out — so you’ll want to grab your size while you can!

    Best Revolve Black Friday Picks at a Glance:

    GRLFRND Harlow High Rise Boot

    Sizes Available: 23 – 32

    The Internet is constantly debating which jeans trend to buy now, but if your personal style (which is most important!) calls for a pair that’s not too snug yet not too loose, this sleek, light-wash option should be added to cart.

    Norma Kamali x REVOLVE Mini Tie Front NK Shirt Dress

    Sizes Available: XS – XL

    When it comes to dresses, we’re all about versatility. Can we wear it to a wedding and for a casual weekend outing? In the case of this Norma Kamali x REVOLVE design, the answer is yes.

    8 Other Reasons Good Day Hoops

    With the winter holidays around the corner, statement accessories have been on our mind. This pair of hoops will take your outfit to the next level — without being too distracting — whether you’re rocking jeans or a fancy LBD.

    Dr. Martens Adrian Felix Flat

    Sizes Available: 5 – 10

    When Dr. Martens are on sale, we know to take full advantage. Thankfully, plenty of options from this forever-cool, celebrity-approved brand are discounted right now on Revolve, and we can already picture these bulky platforms styled with ankle socks.

    Devon Windsor Tokyo Sunnies

    If you’re constantly searching for interesting sunglasses, look no further than this geometric pair from Devon Windsor. They’re bound to earn you a ton of compliments while shielding your eyes from the harsh winter sun.

    SNDYS x REVOLVE Jax Knit Pullover

    Sizes Available: XXS – XXL

    We’ll never tire of sweater weather (although, ask us again when it’s snowing in April) and this cute half-zip is bound to become a staple in our warm winter wardrobe.

    AFRM Keefa Midi Dress

    Sizes Available: XXS – 3X

    Sometimes, when sales roll around, we forget to think practically. For instance, our wardrobe could always use a good wedding guest dress, and this cutout design is just sexy enough without being too revealing.

    Nike Fleece Crew Sweatshirt

    Sizes Available: XS – XL

    The gym, the couch, a relaxed dinner date, the office — try finding a place where we wouldn’t rock this Nike sweater (you won’t).

    Free People Manchester Solid Top

    Sizes Available: XXS – XL

    When it comes to Black Friday sales, bring on the basics. We know we won’t regret buying this non-see-though, Free People button down, which will probably remain in our rotation for years to come.

    See By Chloe Glyn Sandal

    Sizes Available: 35 – 41

    Sandals? In the winter? With discounts like these, there’s no better time to stock up. We’re taking full advantage with these half-off espadrilles, which we’ll be saving to pair with shorts and sundresses come spring.

    Majorelle Bandit Dress

    Sizes Available: XXS – XL

    Whether your family gets dressed up for the holidays or you’re already daydreaming of Feb. 14, this ruffled, red Majorelle dress will likely come in handy in the near future.

    Lovers and Friends Matilda Jumpsuit

    Sizes Available: XXS – XL

    The best thing about jumpsuits? They can pull double duty. Alone, it’s a sleek night out look, but add a chunky turtleneck and, bam — you’re ready for the office.

    The Great The Statesman Trouser

    Sizes Available: 24 – 30

    Not jeans, not sweats, but still comfortable to pull on in a pinch and pairs well with all your T-shirts and hoodies.

  • It’s Already Time To Set An Alarm For The 2023 Zara Black Friday Sale

    It’s Already Time To Set An Alarm For The 2023 Zara Black Friday Sale

    [ad_1]

    All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, StyleCaster may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

    Take a deep breath—Zara’s Black Friday 2023 sale is nearly here, and oh boy, is it going to be a hell of a time. I mean, even the fashion retailer’s regular, non-Black Friday sales often get intense, with discounted items legit disappearing from your online shopping cart if you’re not quick enough to hit the checkout button. To keep this from happening on the biggest shopping holiday of the year, we’re crafting a game plan so that we can get in on the sales, and get out with the savings, as quickly as possible.

    If you haven’t been keeping up with what’s new at Zara lately (ugh, fake fan), then believe us when we say that they have been dropping some hot-ass styles. We’re talking hot-off-the-runway trends for 2023 that are about to rule, faux leather finds you’ll be wearing throughout the rest of fall and winter, drool-worthy winter boots, and all the neutrals your heart could ever desire.

    Zara is the go-to place for chic styles on a dime. And we’re not the only ones who know it—just have a look at Zara’s best sellers list. There are ways to rock outerwear trends, pops of red and some stunning heels for a night out.

    Usually, Zara celebrates Black Friday with a site-wide 30 percent-off discount (!!) Think of the possibilities. You can finally snag that one item (or 10) you’ve been eyeing ever since their Fall/Winter 2023 Collection dropped. You could also spoil the people on your holiday shopping list—and not break the bank over it.

    Zara has not officially released this year’s Black Friday deals but as a repeat customer, I can speculate. 

    True Zara fans know you’re able to get early access to the Zara Black Friday sale a full hour earlier at 6 p.m. EST by shopping through the Zara app.

    Below, check out all of the blazers, jeans, dresses, purses, and shoes that we’re definitely buying during Zara’s Black Friday 2023 sale. May the odds be ever in your favor.

  • Black Friday 2022: Local malls welcome shoppers on day after Thanksgiving

    Black Friday 2022: Local malls welcome shoppers on day after Thanksgiving

    [ad_1]

    AURORA, Ill. (WLS) — Now that the feast is over, many are gearing up for a weekend full of Black Friday shopping.

    Shoppers woke up early in search of those deals and they used the calories from Thanksgiving to fuel their mission.

    Several stores opened early Friday after remaining closed on Thanksgiving.

    And, experts say, you can expect more for your buck this year.

    “I was scared that there was going to be lines. I wanted to get in before everything sold out,” said shopper Nancy Olson.

    “I love great deals. I am a sucker for good deals and I love shopping,” added shopper Nora Butterly.

    Black Friday shopping has changed over the years and, on Friday, some people got started at 6 a.m. at the Chicago Premium Outlets in Aurora.

    Just before 1 p.m., Aurora police tweeted that the outlet mall had reached capacity. Police have temporarily closed the entrances and traffic is being redirected until further notice.

    The mall was closed Thursday and that was the case for most places.

    Schaumburg’s Woodfield Mall also opened at 6 a.m. Friday.

    The Fashion Outlets in Rosemont open at 8 a.m.

    And Oak Brook Mall opens at 9 a.m.

    Shoppers packed into stores at Oakbrook Center all day long.

    For some, the crowds became overwhelming.

    Treyvon Keys came to the mall because he had the day off.

    “It is very busy. A lot of people. I don’t really like that,” Keys said.

    It should be a big weekend for retailers, as a survey shows that 80% of holiday shoppers plan to buy things this weekend. That’s 10% more than last year.

    The same survey also said those shoppers will spend at least half of their holiday budget this weekend.

    “Retailers know they need to sweeten those deals for these inflation-conscious consumers, and so we’re already seeing some of the lowest prices ever on certain items,” said Kristin McGrath, senior editor of RetailMeNot.

    This is the season of giving, but some people were doing a quite a bit of shopping for themselves. They couldn’t pass on those bargains.

    “I am just shopping for myself, but if I do see something I would think someone would like, then I would buy it,” Butterly said.

    “This is not Christmas. This is just me spoiling myself. I have already Christmas shopped,” shopper Raven Spellman said.

    She said she usually makes her Black Friday plan on Thanksgiving. She does her shopping first before meeting up with friends to help them make their rounds.

    “So when they come — whatever store they want to go to — I just wait in the line for them because I am already out early before them,” Spellman said.

    Some came to Oakbrook Center not for shopping, but to pay a visit to Santa with their list, knowing that Black Friday deals are no match for Santa.

    Aurora police said there will be significant traffic delays, as the outlet mall opens.
