We have always loved shopping on Black Friday, but it can be overwhelming with every store featuring a sale. That is why we put together our Top Ten Black Friday Sale recommendations.
Our grandma was the ultimate sales shopper – it did not matter where the sale was – she loved shopping it. She would buy gifts for everyone, store them somewhere, and then forget about them when it came time to actually gifting them.
This year I put together an our 2024 Black Friday Guide of all of the brands that we have linked to that have sales. along with links to pictures, videos or explanations of our favorites in our 2024 Black Friday Guide. We also thought it would be fun to do a top ten of our favorite items on sale. But then realized we both picked eleven items instead of ten. It is really hard for me to narrow down things into list format. It is why I rarely do “best of” lists. I get so anxious I will forget something.
We curated this list based on the following qualifications:
Jump to:
Sisley- Paris Phyto-Teint Perfection (20% off at Blue Mercury)- the BEST. (Missy’s) I mix two pumps with priming moisturizer and it lasts me, easily, six months. I originally found it while walking through Bloomingdale’s in LA to waste time before a flight. I had no makeup on – because who wears makeup on a flight? I stopped by the makeup counter and asked to try a new foundation with good coverage, but did not feel like I was wearing full coverage. The saleswoman introduced me to the Sisley Perfect Teint foundation and concealer, and I fell in love immediately.
If you are unsure which shade you are ( I am 3C), you can go to their website and figure out your shade based off of their naming convention.
The Current Body Red light mask (Missy’s, but Sarah also loves.) – 20% off
This + growth factor has changed my skin, I canât explain how itâs improved my texture, reduced inflammation, and reduced my acne scars and hyperpigmentation. The best of the best. Comfortable. I have the Series 1 mask, but want the Series 2 mask for Christmas. Note from Sarah – I also love this mask. You can read more about my LED favorites, here. But the Currentbody LED sale ends Sunday! Then it goes back down to 10%
ColorWow DreamCoat (Missy’s pick, but Sarah also loves) – 30% off
Saves my hair in humidity, protects my hair from heat, keeps my extensions looking shiny and healthy longer. The best. The key is to spray A LOT. Like more than you think you need. Then you have to finish with heat and tension. I usually finish with the Dyson Air Strait or blow out with Shark Flex Style and use a curling iron. If you use enough, it This is a great price.
The Unbrush (Sarah’s pick, but Missy also loves) – 20% off
I love this brush. We originally bought it while browsing Target and Rebecca picked it out. She said her friend had one and that it really helped her brush her hair. OMG. It really is such a good detangler without hurting the scalp. I ended up buying one as well because I love how it helps brush through the tangles without pulling too hard. It is the only brush Rebecca will use – and she has a lot of tangles. Some colors are not on sale. If you are shopping at Anthro, you can also add to your cart because it is 30% off there.
Spanx Air Essentials T-Shirt Maxi Dress (Sarah’s pick)- 30% off + extra 10% off with code EXTRA10
I have never seen Spanx priced so low! This is the best discount I have seen. I love their Air Essentials material, even though it can be sensitive. I love cozy fleece clothes, but sometimes it feels like it dries out my skin? Do you guys ever get that? That is why I love Air Essentials – it is soft and cozy, but not too warm or cooling. It is the April 25th of materials.
I bought this maxi tee shirt dress full priced at the beginning of the summer and LOVED it. I wore it all the time. I love an outfit I do not have to think about – and this is one of them! Plus it travels so well. Just throw sweater around your neck and some cute shoes and necklaces – you are good to go! I have all three colors, but love striped the best.
Paige Jeans – (Missy’s pick, but Sarah also likes) – up to 30% off at various retailers linked below
I love a lot of brands of jeans but Paige is my favorite because no other brand gets me more compliments. The Anessa and the Sasha are my favorites. The difference between Sasha and Anessa is that Anessa is cropped wide-leg and Sasha is the full-length version. They are so stretchy but donât stretch out. I wear my true size. Never has my butt looked better.
Pilcro Baggy Slim Boyfriend High-Rise Relaxed Jeans – 30% off – Sarah’s pick
I am an apple shape and prefer to wear straight, slim or skinny jeans. However, I tried these slim boyfriend jeans from Anthropologie and fell in love with them! They definitely have some stretch (size down!), but I always receive so many questions and compliments when I wear these jeans! Definitely pair with a belt and a pair of shoes that will show off those ankles! But they look cute with boots and sneakers, too! So nice I have now purchased twice!
Also, peep the Narah flats from Dolce Vita – another top recommendation from me for Black Friday. I have these in the leopard (such a pretty leopard) and the black and white raffia (hopefully they get restocked) and LOVE them. They look great with anything because they give the right amount of toe clevage. Have just enough of a heel that they are comfortable walking around in (I wore them all over SF). Love these shoes and Dolce Vita never has sales!
Target quilted robe (Sarah’s pick)- 30% off, but a great price to begin with
I recently tried Target’s new cloud knit line of pajamas and loved them so much, I had to try some other things. When they had pajamas and robes 40% off earlier in the month, I bought this quilted robe to try. I don’t usually like robes, but get cold in the winter. OH MY GOSH. It is not only warm and soft, but it so cozy. It is not as fluffy as I thought it would, but like wearing the softest, most perfectly broken in quilt. A+, no notes.
Bombas House Socks,(Sarah’s pick) 25% off – the best sale they have
Bombas rarely has sitewide sales – they usually just reserve those for new customers. I bought these wool house socks last year that have grips and LOVED them. Went to buy more for gifts – sold out. When they returned in October, I bought them. FULL PRICE. That is how much I love them. They are so warm, comfortable and not a fall risk. Would make a great gift.
EBY High Waisted Underwear (Sarah’s pick)- on sale + extra 15% off with our code MYSISTERMADEMEBUYIT15
I usually buy these Amazon underwear (and love them!), but they do show panty lines. I asked my broadcast channel for a plus size, high waisted underwear rec that were invisible – these were by far the most popular answer. The brand had approached us several times, but I said no because I didn’t think the bras (what they are known for) would fit. I had no idea they had underwear that went from XS to 4X! So they gifted me a pair and I tried them. AND LOVE THEM. I tried them on with yoga pants, just to be sure.
Skims Fits Everyone Bra, (Sarah’s pick) 20% off (Skims is rarely on sale)
I hate underwire bras, but with weight loss and getting older – I wanted a bra with some extra lift and support. Nothing works like underwire there. I have a big band number, but smaller chest so it has always been hard to find bras that fit. I was limited to Lane Bryant. When Skims came out with the Fits Everybody line (although, I would say it is still not inclusive as the bands only go up to 46), I had to try. I could not believe how comfortable it was. I forgot I was even wearing it? Funny enough, my sister in law Kelly texted us a few weeks later asking if we had ever tried Skims. She had tried the underwire demi bra and also forgot she was wearing it. It is good!
Margeaux wrap sandals (Missy’s pick) – 20% off sitewide (first time we have seen this sale)
I have had a pair for three years and they are my vacation and summer shoes. I wear them all the time. They have padded sole and are so comfortable I walked all over Italy in them. I take my true size (10M) but they run slightly narrow so if wider foot, go for wide. This brand goes up to size 13. Hand-made in Spain.
Sam Edelman Cohen Flats, (Missy’s pick) 35% off
Sarah makes fun of me for wearing these all the time – sheâs right and I donât care. I am in a 10. Some colors as low as $50. Going to grab the black suede, which are even more on sale.
Out of Sarah and I – I am the one who has always accessorized with jewelry. I like a minimal piece that I can wear every day that can go with any outfits. My parents would each gift us a piece of jewelry for Christmas every year and I still have all of my pieces – Sarah does not. She has sensory issues so she would always take off her jewelry somewhere when she could not take it any longer, and lose it. However, she is a lot better at keeping track of it now because she knows how special it is when it can last a lifetime because we both inherited my mom’s jewelry collection.
Lindsey Leigh Jewelry Puffy Heart Necklace, 20% off (Missy’s pick, but Sarah loves too)
I know some people do not gift their siblings anything, but we always have. My dad loved Christmas and we love to buy gifts for each other. Sarah and I still like to keep the tradition of buying each other some jewelry every year. And in also keeping with tradition, Sarah can never wait until Christmas. Sarah grabbed this heart necklace for me during Lindsey Leigh’s October sale and I LOVE it. Itâs so shiny, somehow the heart always stays on the front and itâs a comfortable necklace that is so perfectly dainty for everyday. It may not seem like it would be a stunner, but the magic of this necklace is the cut of the gold chain, which captures the light in so many different ways – it just shines.
Lindsey Leigh Jewelry Mini Reversible Huggies – 20% off (Sarah’s pick)
As Missy said above – I am a jewelry minimalist. I recently got my ears double pierced in May and have been having fun wearing new earrings, though. I bought these reversible huggies last year and LOVE how they can elevate an outfit. They are chunky enough to draw attention, but comfortable enough, I have slept in them. The best part? It is like getting two earrings in one! One side is solid gold, the other is silver. If you click the link, you can see a picture of the mini huggies in my ear.
Soru Charm Chain Necklace, 30% off – Missy’s pick
The perfect charm necklace by the best and most adorable brand which is owned by two sisters. Great packaging and amazing customer service. I lost it in Vegas hotel room and I immediately repurchased. I have worn this for eight months and even shower in it and itâs perfect. So great stacked too. Paired with some Clare V charms, here. ( Also 20% off)
Mejuri stackable rings, 25% off (Missy’s pick)
When Sarah and I visited San Francisco, we popped into a Mejuri storefront to see the jewelry in person. I love rings and lost some of my favorite ones because I went down a ring size from weight loss. I picked out these two from Mejuri and love how small and dainty they are – plus comfortable to wear every day. They never have sales and I love these stacks.
Nextmug Temperature Controlled Mug – 30% off – Sarah’s pick
I used to have an Ember (our cleaners ran through the dishwasher a few too many too many times) and loved having hot coffee all morning, as I love hot drinks when it is cold. I hated having to use the app for it, though. When I went to replace it, I picked this mug because I love that you did not need an app to control the temperature – just press a button for the three different settings – warm, hot and piping hot. The piping hot is HOT too. I warmed up old starbucks on that setting.
Branch Ergonomic Office Chair – 20% off – Sarah’s pick
I have had this office chair for a few years and loved it. I never had back pain and the cushion was good, too. When I moved to my rented office ( I needed to get out of the house), I bought a lookalike chair on Amazon. After 9 months of tailbone and lower back pain, I decided to just buy another Branch chair for my office. What do you know – the pain is gone.
Paravel Aviator Carry on – 40% off (plus limited stock 55% off)– Missy’s pick, but Sarah also loves
I get so many compliments on this suitcase and Iâm telling you the fact that it does not expand but it fits more than any expanding suitcase ever has. The interior is thicker than other suitcase brands we have tried, and I think it helps the compression more. (Sarah here – just wanted to interject because Missy forgot to mention that I INFLUENCED HER ON THIS SUIT CASE. I let her borrow mine and she fell in love with it). So chic. I love it and it rolls so beautiful through any airport and even on carpet?! Anders tried it once and said âwhy donât I have one that rolls this nicely?!â Guess what heâs getting for ChristmasâŠlol I have it in white and black but cognac and cream is beautiful too. On Saturday, November 30th, if you buy through their website for 40% off, you can also get complimentary monogramming. And they have more colors to choose from in the plus carry on, which expands.
Sleep crown Classic – 8% off – not that big of a discount, but better than nothing! (Missy’s pick, but Sarah also loves)
Sarah gifted me one for Christmas last year. Then I loved it so much, I had to order another one. And I need more. I canât travel without it. Itâs amazing. Itâs my blanket. I sleep on one and also cover my face with the other. It is so soft, the perfect weight. I like to say that anyone who carried around a blankie for too long, will love it.
