Black Friday Sales You Need To Get Ready for the New Year

This year’s Black Friday looks different from any that have preceded it, but there are still great deals to be found. With many brands making the choice to take advantage of online shoppers and extended sale windows, it’s still worth keeping a vigilant eye on some of the best deals floating around this year - keeping in mind that the new year is right around the corner. Below are some of the best Black Friday sales to set 2021 up as the fresh start we all need.

BestSelf Self Journal

BestSelf, the leader in innovative productivity and self-improvement products, will be holding a Black Friday sale starting November 13 through November 30. The sale looks like 30% off sitewide with code BLACKFRIDAY, so there’s never been a better time to stock up on their lauded journals, planners, and conversation decks that’ll help you take the new year by storm.

Buttercloth Outerwear Collection

Shark Tank’s luxury menswear company Buttercloth will be running a Black Friday sale on November 27 for 24 hours. The sale will be 25% off sitewide (allowing for 55% off on items on sale already priced at 30% off!), and a digital doorbuster that includes a free mask for the early birds. The perfect option for “workleisure,” a Buttercloth shirt will make the transition into a new year that much easier.

Instant Vortex Air Fryer

A favorite kitchen gadget, the Instant Vortex Air Fryer is a 4-in-1 solution that allows you to explore baking, frying, roasting, and reheating. It’s already marked down to $89 at retailer Walmart - enter the new year inspired to try new recipes and make the most of meal prep with this time saving tool.

Tipsy Elves Ugly Christmas Sweaters

Tipsy Elves, another Shark Tank sensation, offers the most hilarious apparel to celebrate the holiday season with a little humor and a lot of comfort and joy. For Black Friday (November 24 - 30), the brand will be having a stack sale that includes 30% off orders above $200, 25% off orders above $100, and 20% off all orders with code FRIYAY. Make the most of the end of the 2020 and enter the new year cozier than ever.

Fezibo Standing Desk

With many work-from-home opportunities expected to stay the norm for at least a few months into 2021, it’s worth it to make your space as comfortable as possible. Standing desks, which allow the user to adjust and transform a desk to work while standing or seated, are the perfect way to maximize a home office. The Fezibo Dual Motor Height Adjustable Electric Standing Desk is available on Amazon and already marked down to under $300 from a price that usually sits closer to $400.

Kindred Bravely Maternity Essentials

Premium maternity and nursing brand Kindred Bravely will be dropping a code at midnight (EST) on Black Friday, November 27. The sale will be 35% off with an email sign-up and 30% off sitewide. For any expecting parents or new moms, Kindred Bravely takes off some of the pressure with their products and answers some of the many questions new parents might have heading into another unpredictable new year.

Brookstone Calming Weighted Blanket

Weighted blankets became a popular trend a few years ago and are known to help calm a restless body. In a time when many things feel unsure and unsteady, weighted blankets are as popular as ever, and Brookstone’s Calming Weighted Blanket, available through Kohls, normally runs as high as $160 but can currently be found marked down as low as $79. (The fifteen year warranty doesn’t hurt either.)

PhoneSoap Sanitizer

A great tool for present times and beyond, this Shark Tank product disinfects the product we all handle most often: our cell phones. Using UV rays, this box that fits smartphones cleans devices in a ten-minute cycle. PhoneSoap will be marked down by almost 70% off at Target, making it a great pick for yourself or your loved ones to help stay safe.

Tatcha Skin Essentials

International beauty brand Tatcha has some amazing products, and this year you can stock up on some skincare classics with a great Black Friday deal. Get 20% off your entire purchase from 11/26-11/28. Whether skincare is your passion and you’re looking to indulge a bit or you’re ready to spoil a loved one, this option will get them set up for an elegant start to 2021.

Apple AirPods

Since these cordless headphones came onto the tech scene a few years ago, their popularity has only grown. The much-coveted item for Apple users typically gets marked down quite a bit on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, both through Apple directly and through its various retailers, so keep an eye on their site and Amazon to score a pair.
