Calls to boycott Black Friday as part of protests over the Israeli-Palestinian war are growing on social media.
Protesters on platforms including X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram have argued that people should not take part in the discount day on November 24 because the pause in fighting agreed between Israeli officials and Hamas is not enough.
The deal will see Hamas release at least 50 hostages over a four-day period, with a temporary stop in fighting, more humanitarian aid into Gaza and 150 Palestinian women and teenagers held in Israeli jails released.

But the reaction from some pro-Palestinian accounts on social media demanded a total stop to the war and called for the Black Friday boycott to take place in protest.
One post that was seen more than 60,000 times on X said the pause in fighting was so shoppers can “spend guilt free” and urged consumers to “hit them in their pockets” by not taking part.
Another reached more than 177,000 people and asked: “Are you ready to disrupt business as usual? No celebrating in peace while genocide takes place. This Black Friday, November 24, people around the world will boycott, disrupt, and rally at commercial centers as we continue to #ShutItDown4Palestine.”
Following the October 7 assault, during which thousands of Hamas fighters launched a surprise attack from Gaza into southern Israel and killed 1,200 Israelis, predominantly civilians, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the war until the Israeli goal of the elimination of Hamas and the return of hostages is achieved.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said of accusations of genocide: “Israel is not trying to wipe the Palestinian people off the map. Israel is not trying to wipe Gaza off the map. Israel is trying to defend itself against a genocidal terrorist threat. So if we’re going to start using that word, fine. Let’s use it appropriately.”

The Party for Socialism and Liberation 2024 campaign of Claudia De La Cruz for President & Karina Garcia for VP has also backed the Black Friday boycott.
In a statement, it wrote: “This holiday season also presents a crucial opportunity for us to take a stand for the Palestinian people. We call on everyone to join the Shut it Down for Palestine movement: disrupt, march, rally and take other creative actions at commercial centers this Friday.
“Tens of thousands across the country will be shutting down business-as-usual on Black Friday, the most profitable day of the year for major retail corporations—join us!”
The protest groups’ demands include a permanent ceasefire, the end of all U.S. aid to Israel and the release of all Palestinian prisoners in Israel.
But despite people vowing to boycott, it is unlikely to have an impact on Black Friday and data from the National Retail Federation (NRF) reported by Forbes predicts that more people than ever are set to make a purchase as part of the upcoming annual event and surrounding sales.
An estimated 182 million people are planning to shop in-store and online from Thanksgiving Day through to Cyber Monday, according to the federation’s survey. This is the highest estimate since they began tracking the data in 2017.
Newsweek has contacted the NRF and The Party for Socialism and Liberation via email for comment.

Black Friday shoppers, beware: Gift prices are climbing. So if you want to cross off every item on your holiday shopping list, you’ll likely have to dig for discounts.
Not sure how to bargain hunt to keep your seasonal shopping spree below budget? Here are one personal finance expert’s tips on how to score the best deals this holiday season.
Don’t get duped by doorbuster deals
During Black Friday, many major retailers offer exclusive doorbuster deals, or deeply discounted goods, at their brick-and-mortar stores. However, if a deal seems too good to be true, it’s often because it is, Kimberly Palmer, a personal finance expert at NerdWallet, told CBS MoneyWatch.
According to Palmer, doorbuster deals are often offered on outdated and lower-quality products. Additionally, those deals are often harder to snag because they typically only apply to items that are in “very limited supply,” Palmer told CBS MoneyWatch.
Palmer advises shoppers to have an idea of what they’re looking to buy before visiting their local stores. Shoppers should also consider how flexible they’re willing to be on an item’s make and model, she said.
During the holidays, many credit card issuers offer additional discounts for purchases at popular retailers. To see if your credit card comes with any special offers, check your care issuer’s app or website. If available, you should opt into holiday offers to get extra discounts (often in the form of statement credits) for shopping at your favorite stores, Palmer said.
While retailers may limit how many coupons you can use per purchase, you can easily combine credit card-issued discounts with store coupons, allowing you to maximize your savings at checkout.
“A great way to shop is to stack those discounts on top of each other,” Palmer said. “You might get a 10% discount through your credit card, and then you get a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal that adds another 10% [discount] to your purchase.”
Time your purchases with deep discounts
Knowing when to shop for certain items, can save you big bucks around the holidays, according to Palmer.
If you’re looking to scoop up the season’s hottest toys, postpone your shopping trip until right before the major gift-giving holidays, Palmer advises. Conversely, if you’re looking to pick up a television, computer or smartphone, you’ll likely find better deals on or around Black Friday, when electronic prices are likely to dip, she said.
Use browser extensions to find bargains
Using e-commerce-focused browser extensions can help you maximize your savings during your next online shopping spree. Paypal Honey, an in-browser bargain-hunting tool, automatically searches for and tests available coupon codes for more than 30,000 online shops. Meanwhile, Rakuten offers cash-back deals for shopping at over 3,500 stores, including Target, Macy’s, Walmart, Ulta and Nike.
Lastly, Amazon shoppers can use tools such as CamelCamelCamel tomonitor millions of product prices and receive alerts when those prices drop.

I took a scroll through the pages of discounted merch to bring you an edit of the absolute chicest basics on offer. The pieces in question are all highly versatile (the making of a great basic), are elevated, and feel particularly modern. I’m referring to finds like pretty sweaters, standout denim silhouettes, sleek outerwear, and more.

Net-a-Porter sales don’t come around often, but when they do, they’re unmissable.

With prices reduced by up to 50% for its Black Friday sales, that means now is the best possible time to add some stunning pieces to your closet.

Ahead, I made a list of the pieces I would personally add to my cart—from affordable basics to showstopping designer items I’ve had my eye on for months. Ahead, the very best Net-a-Porter Black Friday shopping finds that are too good to pass up.
The holiday season can be considered the most wonderful time of year for so many reasons. But if you ask a shopping editor like myself, the real reason is all the deals that pop up this time of year from all of our favorite retailers. Of course, the first thing I’m shopping for is stellar, personal gifts for my friends and family, but once they’re taken care of, it’s my turn. Black Friday and Cyber Monday is the one time a year I really buckle down and do some shopping for myself. With all of the markdowns it’s the best time to shop somewhat guilt-free, and what better present to yourself than a new pair of shoes?
Once I started my hunt for the perfect pair of new shoes to give myself this year, I ended up with an online shopping bag full of 30 chic pairs of shoes that once I laid eyes on them, I couldn’t stop thinking about. From Tom Ford pumps to cozy slippers from Apparis, and not to mention all at a discount, keep scrolling to see which 30 sale shoes made the cut.

What do Taylor Swift, Hailey Bieber, Timothée Chalamet, and Jack Harlow all have in common? They’ve been spotted wearing New Balancesneakers—and many of them, more than once. But this brand isn’t just for the stars; I constantly see people on the streets repping New Balance. I own a couple of pairs myself and can attest to their comfort, durability, and style. So if you’re looking to grow your shoe collection, now’s your chance. Trust me when I say New Balance Black Friday deals are popping up left and right.
This is not an exaggeration at all—you can find New Balance on sale at several retailers right now. If you prefer a quick and easy checkout, Amazon has plenty of options. If you’re on the hunt for your next go-to running shoe, try Zappos and Kohl’s. And if the brand’s lifestyle sneakers are more your vibe, Urban Outfitters and Free People likely have just what you need.
Ahead, find the 19 best New Balance Black Friday deals on the market right now. The discounts we found range from 12 to 56 percent, but most fall on the higher end of the spectrum (ca-ching!). So make some space in your closet for a pair (or three) of fresh New Balance kicks.
If, like me, you call yourself a Shopbop devotee, then you already know that this is the best time of the year to fill up your shopping cart. Black Friday sales have started early and include everything from wish-list-worthy accessories to cozy cashmere and unbeatable deals on designer items.
That’s right, between November 21 and 27, you can score 25% off of everything with the code HOLIDAY. And with a discount that good, you can be sure that those must-haves are selling out fast. This is precisely why I systematically went through hundreds of pages of clothes and accessories to find the very best buys in the sale.

I’ve been scrolling through Net-a-Porter to find the perfect Christmas gift for myself since September, and I simply can’t believe how good the pieces are. I carefully bookmarked the objects of my desire and have been patiently tracking them on the site, waiting for them to go on sale. This year, my patience paid off, as some of the things I have been waiting to buy for New Year’s, the holidays, and other exciting events on my calendar are now included in the retailer’s sale.
Join me as I dive in to the exciting Net-a-Porter gems that are now priced to perfection. If anyone wants to know what to buy me for the holidays, I’m just going to show them this article, and I suggest you do the same. Let the shopping journey begin with the below breathtaking pieces.

In a world where botox and fillers have become as routine as salon visits, tightening skincare that offers a temporary tightening effect on lines and wrinkles have also only grown in popularity. There’s nothing taboo about getting professional work done, but if you’d rather rely on less invasive options to provide the illusion of such, they certainly exist—and No7’s Instant Illusion Wrinkle Filler is one of them.
For anyone partaking in Black Friday sales, No7 Beauty is giving you the opportunity to snag one for free. During this limited-time promotion, whenever you spend $35 on the brand’s products—with game-changing retinol creams and tightening neck creams, it won’t be hard—you’ll get an Instant Illusion Wrinkle Filler for free. Just use the code NO7GIFT at checkout.
No7
How does it work, you ask? The light, velvety-soft formula creates an instant effect on the skin that leaves it looking smoother, radiant and ageless. Apply it on its own or as a primer before makeup for your best application yet—just simply tap across areas of concern to see it work its magic.
While I haven’t personally given the product a go, the reviews section offers confirmation of its results. As one shopper wrote, “This wrinkle filler really works! I tried it on one side of my face and could see the difference immediately.”
Another reviewer said they’ve been using the instant filler serum “for almost 8 years,” while another claimed that it reverses their wrinkles by “50 to 75 percent” each time they apply it.
“This is, without a doubt, my FAVORITE beauty product,” the latter reviewer wrote. “It is like a silicone filler that fills your wrinkles and disperses light reflections differently for an INSTANT airbrush effect. If I were to smooth this on half of my forehead and leave the other half bare, you would easily see the effect. It is not a permanent solution. It is not a lotion claiming to reverse or minimize wrinkles. It is exactly what it says: an “illusion,” and it is wonderful. I apply this before Zoom meetings for an instant camera-ready face and before going out in public to feel a little less wrinkly.”
This day cream tackles wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of elasticity, all while protecting your skin against harmful rays with the inclusion of SPF 30.
Get fast results on dark spots, sun spots and age spots with this highly-concentrated corrector serum. The non-invasive solution was designed to be applied directly to spots for focused use.
As if we weren’t already obsessed with the brand, the SKIMS Black Friday sale is turning us into official super fans. Everything from the legendary shapewear and pyjama sets to the new in push-up bra and loungewear is discounted. Yes, you heard correctly.
Actually, everything the shapewear brand (which actually spans across way more than just underwear these days) produces seems to boom these days; from its recent venture into men’s underwear to its nipple-promoting bras.
What is SKIMS? What’s the SKIMS delivery like?
SKIMS is that famous lingerie/intimates label founded by Kim Kardashian that comes highly recommended by celebrities, influencers, stylists and editors. Before the powerhouse hit our UK shores, the most we owned by way of ‘supportwear’ were some old Bridget Jones style undies that probably gave us way more VPL than we ever had to begin with. SKIMS, however, provides the perfect antidote with something for everyone to wear every day and actually be able to breathe while doing so. That’s not to say you should don shapewear 24/7, by the way, but it’s always good to have options. Almost everything comes in an array of shades (from limited edition colours to nine different variations of skin tones), and is available in sizes XXS to XXXXL (or 4X).
In terms of delivery to the UK: standard shipping takes 10 to 16 days and will cost you £10, express shipping takes four to nine days and costs £15 (unless you spend over £70, then it’s free), with duty and sale tax included.
Seamless Sculpt Thong Bodysuit
Seamless Sculpt Mid Thigh Short
Does SKIMS ever go on sale?
Yes, but rarely. The SKIMS bi-annual sale event is exactly what it says on the tin, twice a year, so when one comes around it’s wise to act fast (and preferably have a wish list created beforehand) because things sell out quickly.
Does SKIMS have a Black Friday sale?
It does, and not just on its own website (read: SKIMS.com) either. You’ll also find it via retailers such as Net-A-Porter and Selfridges. PSA: there are early Net-A-Porter Black Friday sale deals already live with a few SKIMS pieces included, and Selfridges has a seasonal sale where you’ll find over 60 discounted items too. So if you can’t find what you’re looking for, you might have more luck for the best SKIMS deals elsewhere.
When is SKIMS Black Friday 2023?
TODAY! Black Friday itself is on the 24th November this year, with Cyber Monday following on the 27th, but SKIMS went live early for 2023 on the 22nd November. That’s what happened last year too, so if we’ve learnt anything from it it’s that you can never be too prepared when avoiding those gut-wrenching ‘sold out’ signs online. So we made wishlists full of the Cozy Knit pants, leggings, bralettes, swimwear, scoop neck tops and open-back soft smoothing bodysuits in preparation.
Super Sale Alert: Enjoy up to 25% sitewide at Abercrombie & Fitchfrom 11/22 until 11/27. Exclusions to gift cards and clearance apply. Also, during the brand’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale, take an additional 15% off everything with code CYBERAF.
Fans of early 2000s Abercrombie & Fitch denim rejoice: Your favorite jeans are back and better than ever! After a rebrand, Abercrombie & Fitch jeans are trendy once again with size-inclusive styles available in a variety of lengths and rises, so that you can find the perfect pair of denim for your derriere — and your next jarty (that, of course, is a party where everyone wears jeans). Forget the cologne-filled haze of an Abercrombie & Fitch store in your local Galleria, and peacefully peruse all of Abercrombie & Fitch’s denim styles online with the click of a button. Better yet, this Black Friday, you can find your new favorite pair of jeans for 25% off.
While we’ll never forget the early ’00s A&F styles, the brand’s aesthetic has (thankfully) evolved, and the current sale is full of everything from loosely fitted styles to our favorite skinny ones, high-waisted numbers, barrel-leg denim, and mom jeans. To save you the hassle of scanning the digital sale racks, we’ve found the 16 best pairs of Abercrombie & Fitch jeans to fit a wide range of budgets, styles, and sizes.

The holiday season is upon us and video game deals are ripe for the taking. Steam is famous for its seasonal sales, but PlayStation has surprised us this year with many of its best exclusives at the lowest price ever. The Black Friday PlayStation Store sale ends on November 27 at 11:59 PST, so strike the iron while it’s hot! Here are our carefully selected picks for the best PS Store Black Fridaydeals.
God of War Ragnarok ($39.89, -43%)

God of War Ragnarok marked the apocalyptic finale of Kratos’ Norse arc and was one of the best games in 2022. The storytelling reaches its zenith in the series with this entry. The visuals and spectacle are made all the more grandiose utilizing the PS5’s graphical prowess. God of War Ragnarok has been notoriously hard to find on sale over the past year. $39.89 is the cheapest we’ve ever seen it in its lifecycle, making this one of the best deals on the PlayStation Store’s Black Friday sale.
Resident Evil 4 Remake ($39.59, -34%)
Resident Evil 4 Remake is a 2023 Game Awards GOTY nominee, and for good reason. It’s a perfect remake of one of the most beloved games of all time. Capcom nailed it with this one, unlike their underwhelming attempt with Resident Evil 3. This technically marks the lowest sale price for Resident Evil 4 Remake since its launch. The last console sale for this was $40.99 back in September. We don’t foresee another sale until Winter and Spring, so now’s a great chance to relive Leon and Ashley’s adventurous romp in full PS5 splendor.
Mortal Kombat 1 ($48.99, -30%)
Released just a couple months ago, Mortal Kombat 1 is a 2023 GOTY contender for best fighting game. The brand new Kameo system is tremendous fun and the story is a twist on the original’s lore.
This Black Friday sale marks the first real big discount that Mortal Kombat 1 has had at a healthy 30% off. Mortal Kombat 1 would make for a perfect holiday gift, or even just a great party game for get-togethers with those who can stomach the most gruesome fatalities in the series.
EA FC 24 ($34.99, -50%)

A whopping 50% off for the new totally-not-FIFA game is a good deal, objectively speaking. Many sports game enthusiasts regard this entry quite highly, despite some expected repetition. It’s certainly one of the more positively received soccer games in recent memory. If you’ve been a FIFA fan but fell off the series, now might be a good time to come back and give it another kick. EA FC 24 may never get a deal as good as this before the next one comes out.
Street Fighter 6 ($39.59, -34%)
Image Source: Capcom
Street Fighter 6 set the fighting game community ablaze when it launched in June of this year. It marked one of those very rare occasions when pretty much everyone who played it agreed on its high quality. It wouldn’t be presumptive to say that Street Fighter 6 is the most well-received game in the series to date.
This is yet another game at its lowest price since release with this Black Friday Sale. Street Fighter 6’s base price of $59.99 is cheaper than Mortal Kombat 1’s base price of $69.99, further reducing the price with this discount. It’s well worth it since there’s so much game here to sink your teeth into. The new created character campaign mode, inclusion of mini-games, and the all-around quality make this one of the most impressive fighting games in the last decade. Whether you’re a fan of the genre or a newbie, there’s a ton of interesting content here to welcome you in.
Hogwarts Legacy ($41.99, -40%)

Hogwarts Legacy had a wild ride since its launch back in February. But controversy and crazy expectations aside, it’s a satisfying game set in the Wizarding world. Hogwarts Legacy is another one of those high $69.99 price point games, so we’re glad to see its price go down 40% for Black Friday. The dialogue choices and wizarding school role-playing can be fun for both Harry Potter fans and gamers wanting something a bit different.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage ($39.99, -20%)

20% off may not seem like a big deal, but it’s nothing to sneeze at for a major release that just came out in October. Considering that and the fact that its base price is just $49.99, the discount to $39.99 is really attractive. This low cost of entry may be the deciding factor for Assassin’s Creed fans on the fence about this more compact adventure.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage eschews the gargantuan open worlds of Valhalla and Odyssey and instead returns to basics with assassinations in tight alleyways. Reviewers generally say it’s a solid game through and through, even if it’s a bit dull compared to the likes of the Ezio trilogy. This is the first time the game’s been discounted, so we don’t blame you for wanting to get back in the animus to try the newest AC out.
Dead Space ($34.99, -50%)

Last December saw the release of a faithfully done Remake of the original Dead Space. The game was overshadowed by others at the time, but it’s generally regarded as a masterpiece in the way it polishes up the original and enhances its already tense horror.
This is another one of those games with the base $69.99 price. But with this sale at 50% off, you just can’t go wrong. Experience one of the best horror games around with modern PS5 technology under the hood. We won’t blame you for leaving the lights on while playing.
Need for Speed Unbound ($13.99, -80%)

I’m a Need for Speed Unbound defender and proud of it. The game really changes a lot from the disappointing Ghost Games entries and marks a strong return for Criterion. The cell-shaded graphics add a lot of visual flair to the characters and environments. Oh, and the campaign is the most properly difficult Need for Speed since Most Wanted. This is one of the most rewarding Need for Speed games and a racing game that deserves a bit more love than it gets. If you’ve been on the fence regarding Need for Speed for a while now, give this a shot while it’s 80% off.
Lies of P ($47.99, -20%)

Finally, we have another very recent game release on sale now with the Bloodborne-inspired Pinocchio action game, Lies of P. Yeah, it’s basically Pinocchio Bloodborne, but it’s also got real meat on its bones to stand out from the ever-increasing Soulslike crowd. The boss fights in this are something you have to experience for yourself, even if the exploration isn’t nearly as strong as FromSoftware’s titles. Black Friday is the first time Lies of P has been on sale, so it’s the perfect opportunity to prove just how much you don’t suck at games again with this oddly charming Soulsborne game.

Even though it’s not technically Black Friday yet, the annual sale event is already well into its tenure, with deals on every website and in every store. Of course, some are better than others—that’s natural—and none is superior to Nordstrom’s, which is going on now and blowing every other sale out of the water.
After scrolling through thousands of red-marked products from the sale, one theme, in particular, stood out: wealth. No, the prices aren’t sky high, at least not on the pieces featured below. But you wouldn’t know that just by looking at them. In fact, all 30 of them look shockingly expensive and very “old money,” if you know what I mean. See for yourself just how expensive the selection appears by scrolling down and leaving no sartorial crumbs behind before the deals end after Thanksgiving.

I cover more sales in November than I can count on my fingers, but I’m honestly most excited about Abercrombie & Fitch’s Black Friday event. The rebrand has done wonders for the clothing company, and I, for one, have been on an AB&F kick and have no plans on stopping anytime soon. Give me all the trousers and sweaters, please!
I think we can all agree that the nostalgic Abercrombie of the past will always have a special place in our hearts. Matching (or mismatching) sweatpants and jackets tucked into UGG boots, anyone? Distressed skinny jeans and colorful v-neck tees, anyone? Nothing will ever replace our collective memories of rummaging around in darkly lit stores and swallowing clouds of cologne, but I’ve been to the new and improved Abercrombie stores and shopped online, and I’ll gladly take this fresh, ultra-chic iteration of the company. It’s evolved into a brand I and so many others can count on for trendy closet mainstays.
That’s why the Abercrombie Black Friday sale is such a big deal (no pun intended). The company has discounts at almost any given time, but rarely ones as good as these Black Friday markdowns. So, keep reading for all of the highly-anticipated details on this year’s Abercrombie Black Friday sale, including every item I have in my cart in case you need a little inspo.

Best Abercrombie Black Friday NFL Collection Deals

ICYMI, Abercrombie created an NFL collection, and the offerings are surprisingly super cute. I’m not even a football fan and I’d wear any of the vintage-looking tees and sweatshirts. If you’re a Travis Kelce stan, rep this Kansas City Chiefs t-shirt.
Abercrombie & Fitch.
If you thought a tee was enough to show your support for Travis and Taylor, think again. If anything, I think the crewneck sweatshirt is even cuter than the shirt.

If you’re more of a Joe Burrow girlie, don’t sweat it, there’s a t-shirt for his team, too!
Out of all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday beauty deals out there, I love shopping the skincare ones the most. Why? It’s simple. I’m a skincare-obsessed beauty editor, and there’s nothing I love more than testing new cleansers, serums, moisturizers, and sunscreens. I also love using all the high-tech skin devices I can get my hands on. LED light masks? They’re a necessity. At-home lasers? Definitely. Microcurrent? Duh.
When I can gather all of my faves in a sale—and a pretty epic one at that—I can’t help myself but click “add to cart.” And that’s exactly what I’ll be doing post-Thanksgiving. Ahead, shop the 35 best Black Friday and Cyber Monday skincare deals, according to yours truly. From a Hailey Bieber–approved vitamin C serum to an iconic skin-correcting face cream, my skincare routine is about to be better than ever.
There’s a lot of sale noise this week, and if you’re finding it difficult to get to the bottom of what’s really worth shopping, be glad you decided to stop by Who What Wear today. One sale that I’ve been very impressed with thus far is Everlane’s. Its ongoing Black Friday sale encompasses basically everything on the site, and it’s all marked down by up to 50% (no code needed).
I’ve been shopping for basics on Everlane for years, as I’ve yet to find another brand with prices, quality, and selection that compares. So I’m using this sale as an opportunity to stock up on items that are going to be very useful to my wardrobe ahead of the busy holiday season. Between the sweaters, denim, T-shirts, and even socks, my cart is filled to the brim, and I’m not letting this sale end without placing my order. Scroll on to shop the contents of my cart along with me.
