There are several times in the year when I simply have to check out Amazon, a place I actually rarely shop. But alas, even the really good sales get to me, which is why when Prime Day rolls around, I’m probably scrolling through Amazon because a good deal can’t be passed up. However, the best of the best price drops happen at the end of year, like during Amazon’s early Cyber Monday sale, happening right this minute. I’ve prepared for this day all year—I’m serious.
When I do shop on Amazon, I shop it well, and that’s because I know the items that are worth buying and those that are worth passing up—if your budget is tight, of course. The below list of things I’m snatching during Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale include a mix of items for myself as well as for gifting season because, hey, a smart shopper also knows that this is the time to get those presents.
9 Best Editor-Approved Amazon Deals Overall
Amazon Essentials Certified 14-Karat Gold Diamond 0.4-Karat Earring
No matter what you’re looking for, be a pair of luxe diamond earrings that make the perfect present for yourself (or a friend!), a cozy sweater, or a pajama set that you’ll never want to take off (hey, you can wear PJs outside of the home, in my opinion), I rounded it all up. And while there are thousands of options on Black Friday sale on Amazon, I really do think I found the 20 best that everyone will love (even the picky person in your life, like me!).
Below, shop all the things that I absolutely can’t pass up, from fashion to beauty to home to shoes.
Best Amazon Black Friday Clothing Deals
I’m a fashion girl, which means that the first (and most important!) purchases I make come Black Friday are, well, fashion ones. Think: shoes, pants, and sweaters—especially fall and winter staples I’ll be wearing for the next five months. I can’t resist this buttery-soft Eberjey pajama set or this luxe-looking Amazon sweater that has tennis-core vibes to a T.
Eberjey Gisele Rib Relaxed Short Pajama Set
I tend to sleep like a baby (a skill!), and I owe part of my really good ZZZ’s to the PJs I wear to bed. This Eberjey set is buttery soft and oh-so-cute, which makes me think I’ll be able to sleep really well while wearing it.
Vince Long-Sleeve Open-Neck Polo
I’ll never not buy Vince when it goes on sale, which is why this gorgeous 50%-off polo is at the top of my wishlist right now.
Imily Bela Cable Short-Sleeve Sweater
I love a good sweater, but what I love even more is a good sweater that’s affordable. This Amazon find is just that.

Best Amazon Black Friday Beauty Deals
Of course, a Black Friday shopping haul wouldn’t be complete without a beauty shelf restock, which is why I’m absolutely snagging my tried-and-true staples—as well as some new items that’ve landed on my radar (looking at you, Fable and Mane) as well as this “healing” hair oil Nicole Kidman convinced me to add to my routine.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray
This longtime favorite from a Martha Stewart-used brand is hydrating and calming—perfect for my winter skin. As I often do come big sales, I’ll be stocking up on this trusted staple.
Braun IPL Long-Lasting Hair Removal Device
I’m German, so yes, I think every German device is worth the splurge, but I’ll never pass up an on-sale Braun tool. This IPL hair removal device is one of the best out there, so if you want to stop shaving for good, consider this splurge.
L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Vegan Hair Care Kit
I swear by this L’Oréal shampoo for my best hair yet. It was recommended by one of my go-to hair influencers, and since trying it, I’ve never turned back. Plus, the price is too good to pass up.
Fable and Mane SahaScalp Soothing Scalp Serum
Hair oils and scalp serums are the bread and butter of healthy hair, and after regularly sticking to a routine, my hair has never looked better. I’ve been curious to try this Fable and Mane buy, though, so I’ll be purchasing it while it’s on sale.

Best Amazon Black Friday Home Deals
If I didn’t write about fashion fulltime, I’d write about home and cooking. The two topics are my secret passion, and there’s nothing I love more than refreshing my home and kitchen with luxe staples that are both functional and appealing. Luckily, while in the midst of an apartment refresh, Amazon slashed the prices of a slew of products I’ve been eyeing, namely a sleek trash can and these trusted Caraway pans.
Caraway Nonstick Ceramic Cookware Set
It’s always been a dream of mine to have cabinets full of the pretty pieces and Caraway’s cookware is pretty, but it’s also really good. Well, now’s the time to buy, and nothing’s stopping me (not even a lack of space!).
Simplehuman Rectangular Hands-Free Trash Can
Sleek, simple, but functional? This Simplenhuman trash can is the level-up way I will dispose of all the junk in my home.
Ugg Euphoria Plush Faux Fur Throw Blanket
There’s nothing I love more than cozying up on the couch while watching a good Christmas movie—except for all that with the plushest blanket out there. This Ugg throw already makes me feel warmer just by looking at it.
Best Home Deals:
While I know that Black Friday can get overwhelming (I get overly anxious from it!!), I think this pared down list of things has something for everyone. Plus, some of these prices are really too good to pass up.
