It feels like every year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday blend into each other … and this year, they’re earlier than ever. One blogger called last week Pre-Game Friday. Are the deals now really as good as they will be on the Friday after Thanksgiving? Who knows. Is there a quieter/less spend-spend-spendy way to BF/CM? Probably. But here’s what I’m eyeing:
Definitely doing deals:
- Senita always blows it out; they’re doing 30% off sitewide AND new drops every day 11/24-12/1. Eyeing the cocoa sweatset and curious to see what else comes out!
- Looking for wired headphones – taking recs.
- Love this ’80s decanter at CB2
- Looking for flights, semi-pj if possible 😉 Retrievair / JSX
Might get better deals later but might not:
- Idlewild Planner – my favorite planner every year; last year I didn’t buy it in advance and it was sold out so I had to find it on some random site and order from there … won’t make that mistake again! Currently sitting at 20% off.
- Carter’s – baby-specific but the items in my cart have been changing prices like crazy based on their looney tunes sales. I think at some point a person just has to pull the trigger and take the discounts they get?
- Gap Factory – has great organic cotton baby clothes. They’re currently 50-70% off + 15% off … will it get better?!
- Rollr – I’ve written about the fanciest deodorant before, now it’s buy 2 for $100 and I kinda wanna do it? And gift one to my MCT hubby (shhh don’t tell him).
- Varley – looking for their pants and half zip, which my favorite blogger swears are the best.
Best guess this is best the deals will get:
- ASMBLY Active – when Senita temporarily closed down before being repurchased by the original founders, who then hired the original social media manager as the CEO which is awesome, the lead designer at the time launched a new line. The oversized but somehow performance fabric? graphic tee is getting insanely good reviews; the Cloudflex leggings for relaxing are the ones I’m most interested in trying. They’ve said this is the best it gets, tiered discounts with code BFCM2025, not sure if it can be combined with this referral link but if it can, you get $20 off $80.
