Black Friday
Top Black Friday Sales for Women
Black Friday is a great day to buy products you’ve had your eye on but thought were just too expensive. It’s common for many products to be on sale during Black Friday, and big-ticket items often show the largest decrease in price. That means Black Friday is the perfect opportunity if you’re looking to purchase something that would usually be a little bit out of your budget.
Black Friday is also a huge day for buying gifts. As one of the main consumer days before Christmas, Black Friday is the perfect time to purchase something to give your loved ones for Christmas or another holiday.
Whether you plan to buy for yourself or a woman in your life, here are a few of the top Black Friday sale items you may want to check out.
1. Specialty Shoes
Shoes are one of the biggest Black Friday sales every year, and for good reason. A stylish pair of shoes can cost well over $100, which isn’t in most people’s budgets. If you’re looking for an especially stylish pair of shoes for yourself or the woman in your life, consider checking them out during a Black Friday sale.
2. Little Black Dress
The “little black dress,” sometimes referred to by the initials LBD, is a staple in many women’s wardrobes. It’s a dress that works well for both highly formal outings and more casual ones, and many women are more than willing to splurge on it. See if you can find a great deal on one this Black Friday.
3. Luxe Hoodie
Hoodies are one of the greatest ways to express yourself. Not only are they super fashionable, but they can also provide much-needed warmth if you live in a colder climate. Whether you opt for a hoodie with a super-cool design, a specialty hoodie made to keep you as warm as possible or a uniquely personalized hoodie, this is a great Black Friday purchase.
4. Air Fryer
This is the biggest new kitchen craze, and many people recognize it as a beneficial addition to their own kitchen. Whether you love cooking all the time or you rarely cook for yourself or others, an air fryer may make it even easier to get in the kitchen and try something new.
5. Dog or Cat Keepsakes
Do you love your dog or cat? There are nearly endless keepsakes to help you keep your pet close to your heart, from specialty necklaces to stuffed animals. No matter what animals you have or how you want to keep them in your life, there’s a keepsake out there for you.
6. Indoor Flowers
Indoor flowers are a hallmark of interior decorating. With indoor flowers, you can add a pop of color and a sense of nature to a room without actually going through the process of managing flowers. If you’re thinking about doing some interior design or you just want to spice up a room, then indoor flowers can be a great choice.
7. Silk Pillowcases and Sheets
Experts recommend silk pillowcases and sheets for a better overall experience for skin and hair. They help prevent the tugging sensation cotton can cause, which can lead to issues such as hair breakage and general skin irritation. Silk sheets can be expensive, but they can pay off in skin and hair health.
8. Lounging Cotton Robe
What’s better than lounging around your house in a beautiful robe? Cotton robes are meant to be worn after a shower to allow your skin to dry fully before you put on your clothes for the day. Many people wear them while doing their makeup and hair. If you want to spring for a high-quality robe, Black Friday may help you grab one without the high price point.
9. Special Candle
Candles can be very nice to keep around your home, whether you light them or just use them as decoration. Specialty candles, such as ones that are carved to look like flowers or are stored in special containers, can be especially nice and can even function as part of your interior design process.
10. Weighted Blanket
Many people who have issues sleeping — whether from insomnia, anxiety or just restlessness — find that a weighted blanket is an extremely effective way to fall asleep more easily and stay asleep during the night. Weighted blankets also come in many weights and styles, but you may want to wait to buy one until Black Friday.
11. Expensive Makeup Products
There are plenty of makeup products beloved for their efficacy, but they often come with the price tag to match. If spending $50 on a single makeup product doesn’t sound like your idea of a good time, you’re definitely not alone. Waiting for big sales to purchase these products can be a much better option.
12. Athleticwear
Athleticwear can be extremely expensive. Not everyone prefers high-end athleticwear, but these products can be a great way to work out and look amazing doing it. If you have a preferred high-end athleticwear brand you want to try, consider waiting for Black Friday to do it.
13. Adult Coloring Book Sets
Coloring books aren’t just for kids, and these adult coloring sets prove it. There are plenty of coloring book sets built specifically for adults, with more detailed drawings, colored pencil sets with all the colors you could want and specialty books with any theme you’re interested in. They work well as stocking stuffers or as calming gifts for your own mental health.
14. Unique Earrings
There are literally thousands of earring designs available online, ranging from cutesy clay motifs to impressive gold and gemstone-studded styles. Regardless of your personal taste, you can find something you love with the variety of earring designs available.
Tips for Getting a Great Present
If you plan to use this Black Friday to get a present for the woman in your life, there are a few recommendations you can use for a more effective experience. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Avoid clothing and shoes unless you know her size in a specific brand or you know her measurements. Clothing sizes are not standardized — just because she usually wears a size medium, it doesn’t mean the medium will always fit correctly.
- Personalized gifts are always better than general gifts. Anyone can buy a piece of diamond jewelry, but it will feel much more sincere and thoughtful if the jewelry is in the shape of her zodiac sign.
- Don’t be afraid to ask the woman in your life what she’s interested in for Christmas. Many women appreciate gifts, but the effort inherent in asking what she may be interested in and following through on it is likely to be even more special.
- One of the most tried-and-true methods of getting a great gift is to replace something she needs to replace. Whether it’s a skin-care product on its last legs, a makeup palette that’s basically dust or a pair of shoes she’s completely worn out, replacing that product shows you’re paying attention and saves her money, time and effort.
FAQs
- Can I prepare for Black Friday deals before Black Friday starts?
It’s always a good idea to prepare for an upcoming sale day before you start shopping. First, make a list. Many people use Black Friday as a day to get gifts for Christmas and other holidays, which is why having a list can help you avoid purchasing a wide variety of products you don’t actually need. You should also look at Black Friday ads, which companies usually release in the week or two before Black Friday. It will give you an idea of the products that will be on sale.
- What are some other deal opportunities this Thanksgiving?
The most well-known deal opportunity near Black Friday is Cyber Monday, the Monday immediately following Thanksgiving when you can expect heavy online deals, especially on tech products. If you miss both Black Friday and Cyber Monday but you’re still looking for ways to save money on Christmas presents, then check out Green Monday. It’s the second Monday in December, and it’s one of the biggest shopping days of the year.

- How can I be sure this Black Friday deal is actually heavily discounted?
Companies sometimes have a product they claim to be on sale, but the “heavily discounted” price is actually its day-to-day price. The best way to make sure the price is actually as discounted as the brand claims is to look at prices from other authorized retailers. If the price is about the same as the supposed “discount,” it’s probably the day-to-day price. If the price is much higher, then this is a steal and you should jump on it.
