I dont know about you, but my inbox has somehow turned into the Grand Central Terminal for Black Friday promotions. While it can seem a bit overwhelming, I really try to utilize this week as a way to tie up any loose ends on my holiday shopping list as an attempt to have all of my gifts purchased by December 1st. Which is why I short listed a Christmas and holiday gift guide, featuring Black Friday sales that I believe are actually worth looking into.

Upon purchasing a gift, I make an effort to shop for something that is consumable and/or practical. Clutter gives me anxiety so I have never been one to buy random things because they happen to be on sale.

On that note, by going through my wish list and past purchases, I have curated a gift guide by gathering a few of my favourite online stores and a few gift options to consider during this year’s Cyber Week and Black Friday.

this post has been updated for November 2023

[ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 ]

Beauty

• CAUDALIE: Up to 50% off select products and gift sets. BTW, this makes an excellent stocking stuffer. I may have bought two for myself.
• CHARLOTTE TILBURY: Up to 30% off. At the moment I am obsessed with the contour & highlight palette. The setting spray is also fantastic, which I am loving for its airbrush finish.
• ILIA: 20% off. For the record, either their lip balm or lip mask would make an excellent stocking stuffer.
• L’OCCITANE: 20% off with code FRIDAY. Between their beauty stocking stuffer and gift options, there are no lock of gift guide worthy items to choose from L’Occitane’s Black Friday sale. I personally can never have enough of this organic shea butter on hand.
• SEPHORA: Basically, there is a different 30% off sale promotion every day until November 27th. I may have also utilized the Anastasia Beverly Hills sale to stock up on my favourite eyebrow pencil.
• VICTORIA BECKHAM BEAUTY: 20% off beauty and skincare. I wouldn’t mind seeing the CHÉRIE lip stain or CHIFFON eyeshadow in my stocking.

Fashion

• ADIDAS: Extra 50% off with code FRIDAY. I have lost count as to how many times I have shopped this sale for my brother and/or dad.
• ARITZIA: Pretty sure that more than 3/4 of my clothes come from Aritzia. As such, this sale will forever be in my calendar. I may have just added another pair of cashmere gloves to my winter wardrobe.
• BANANA REPUBLIC: 40% off… and yes this also includes cashmere!
• CLUB MONACO: Because it’s more fun to add a little extra to his or her wardrobe with 40% off.
• FWRD: For the person who would have a Saint Laurent bag on their wish list.
• LULULEMON: I honestly never know what to expect with this sale because everything seems to go so fast, but it’s always worth looking into.
• MANGO: Up to 50% off. I just took advantage of this sale to add 6 essential items to my winter wardrobe, like this mini skirt and knitted long-sleeved top.
• MICHAEL KORS: 25% off (almost) everything. Not going to lie, I have been eyeing this black leather bag for a while now.
• NIKE: 25% off. In the past I have used this sale to buy golf essentials for my dad and/or brother. I continue to hear great things about their golf polo shirts.
• THE GAP: 40% off. I honestly don’t shop here for myself, but there are definitely some great pieces for the little ones.
• TORY BURCH: 30% off select items $250+. Between a leather tote for my MacBook and timeless ballet flats that can be easily packed into a carry-on bag, there are definitely some gems within this sale that I am considering.
• ZARA: 40% off select items

Home

• CORELLE: 40% off $149+. One might say that a CorningWare dish is a gift that keeps on giving. I have been gifted a few that I have been using for years… including my favourite one for apple crisp.
• IKEA: I love their glass containers for storing food and it looks like they are 20% off.
• THE CROSS: I absolutely adore this home store and have a hard time not visiting whenever in Vancouver. Their holiday selection is very well curated!
• WAYFAIR: Up to 70% off all home categories. There are some intense deals… even more so than this white duvet cover that I might have to get.

Lifestyle

• ANTHROPOLOGIE: I love visiting this store during the holiday season.
• AMAZON: So basically, when all else fails, there’s always Amazon. Click HERE to view some of my favourite winter essentials that may also be available during Cyber Week.
• BEST BUY: No matter how technologically inclined someone may be, you really could get everyone on your Christmas list a gift they’ll appreciate.
• ETSY: Because it’s fun to support small shops and potentially save up to 60%.
• HARRODS: Up to 30% off. Add a little extra luxe to their Christmas morning.
• INDIGO: Up to 30% off. In addition to books, there are plenty of lovely gift options available for all ages.
• SAJE: Up to 40% off. I used this sale to stock up on my immune boosting bff and add a little extra holiday cheer to my kitchen counter.
• THE BAY: For me, it would hardly be Cyber Week without The Bay blowing up my inbox with their daily deals.
• URBAN OUTFITTERS: From fashion to home and everything in between, with 30% off your entire purchase, it’d be pretty hard to not find a gift for someone under the age of 35. Not that I ever plan to stop shopping here.
• WELL: Up to 50% off. I just stocked up on a few home essentials and festive favourites. A different sales promotion will also be featured every day until November 27th.

Travel

• BOOKING: I usually book directly through the hotel, but I’m intrigued by the idea of saving at least 30% if an accommodation is booked (up until the end of 2024) by November 29th.
• MONOS: Up to 30% off with code EARLYBF. Their luggage is seriously gorgeous.
• SPARKLING HILL: If you haven’t already, you have until November 26th to opt in and receive access to their Cyber Monday promotion. You can view my writeup on the resort HERE.
• WEST JET: Supposedly their biggest sale of the year, now (until November 24) woud be a good time to start planning your next trip (between now and June 20th, 2024).
