Plan and shop smart. Not just for steep discounts, but for lasting value. Here are 11 items to keep on your radar when planning your Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping.
4K & OLED TVs
Retailers like Best Buy are expected to offer steep markdowns on LG, Samsung, and Sony OLED and 4K TVs—some likely reaching 30–40% off. These are often blockbuster deals, perfect for upgrading your home entertainment setup.
Toys & Gifts
Toys saw eye-popping growth during last year’s Cyber Week. Black Friday remains a prime time to score on trending toys and giftables—especially if you’re shopping early.
Laptops & Windows PCs
Significant discounts on MacBooks, gaming laptops, and Windows machines are anticipated. These deals offer excellent value for work, school, or creative projects.
Robot Vacuums & Cordless Cleaners
Last year’s deals on Roborock and Dyson cordless vacs were heavily discounted—and we expect more this year from brands like Dyson, Shark, and Miele, both online and in-store.
Countertop Warmers
This is the winter to hop on the bandwagon and finally remove the cold feel of your granite countertop. DIY stick-on countertop warmers often receive sizable Black Friday markdowns, making this a smart time for this kitchen upgrade.
Beauty & Skincare Sets
Major beauty retailers frequently offer bundles and kits—like MAC beauty kits or Lancôme gifts—at up to 50% off. These are perfect for gifting or personal pampering.
Premium Bedding & Homeware
Dusk’s luxury bedding deals—such as Egyptian cotton sheets, pillows, and luxury towels—could hit 50% off, with flash sales and BOGO offers expected. It’s an ideal time to upgrade your sleep setup.
Gaming Consoles & Accessories
Expect some of the year’s biggest Black Friday buzz around bundles for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Coupled with discounted headsets, extra controllers, or VR accessories, this is the time to level up game night.
Everyday Consumables & Essentials
Quality-of-life items like shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, and even jeans often go on sale during Black Friday. Stocking up now can pay off throughout the year.
Smart Home Devices
Amped-up deals on wearable tech—like smartwatches and headphones—and smart home gadgets such as speakers or Ring doorbells are a consistent staple.
