It's here!: My annual roundup of all the best travel, style, and home sales for Black Friday + Cyber Monday.
The sales this time of year are so fascinating to me – it’s been wild to watch the transition from waiting in line early on Friday mornings to week-long promos offered online. As annoying as it can sometimes be to play checkout chicken, hoping you’ve timed it right to score the best deal, I still vastly prefer this to the old way (one time a woman shoved her shopping cart into my back because I was apparently in her way – I don’t miss that fervor one bit).

Today I’m rounding up some of the best deals out there for travel, style, and home (in my opinion) that you can shop from your couch – the sales that will hopefully realize the best savings on items you’ve been eyeing for yourself or your loved ones. As usual, this post will be updated at least once a day through Cyber Monday (that’s 27 November, if you’re not in the U.S.), so check back as sales are added or changed over the coming days!

FINAL THOUGHTS ON SHOPPING BFCM 2023
While it’s never a good idea to shop just for the sake of shopping, historically this weekend has been a great opportunity to take advantage of savings on items you were planning to purchase anyway. Personally, I find that making a plan and sticking to it is the best approach – leaving me with leftover funds for my next trip!
