11 Things Moms Want to Shop on Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Being a mom means becoming 100 times more efficient at basically everything—shopping included. Black Friday and Cyber Monday used to mean browsing for deals on random items that struck our fancy or spendier items we’ve long been stalking (see these nine handbags). These days we go in with a list of things we (and our kids) want and need, ready to slash things off our holiday/everyday lists like the savvy time- and money-saving ninjas we’ve become. It’s prime time to score the lowest prices on experiences for the whole family, like day passes to theme parks or gyms, or tickets to a Broadway show. And when it comes to actual stuff, here are some of the items we moms have got our eyes on this year.

An “It” Bag for Kids
The cool kids are carrying this Fjallraven backpack, or so the tweens in our lives inform us. It’s pricey, so you know we’ll be scouting it out on sale and counting it as a holiday gift. It includes a padded pocket to help keep that even pricier tablet or laptop safe. Fjallraven Kanken Art Laptop 15, $120
A Micro Bag for You
On our list in time for holiday parties: a trendy tiny bag. When you’re a mom who can’t leave home without multiple sippy cups, carrying a purse that fits little more than your phone, a lipstick, and some credit cards is the ultimate luxury. This velvet bracelet bag feels extra deliciously impractical. Rixo Amelie Leopard-Print Bracelet Bag, $241
Zero-Waste Food Supplies
The weekend between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is an ideal time to finally stock up on reusable silicone bags, on-the-go utensils, and stainless-steel straws, so you can head into 2020 ready to keep your family’s less-waste resolutions. Stasher Reusable Silicone Bag Starter Kit, $87
Packing Cubes
Flying is annoying, but unpacking no longer will be once you divvy up your stuff into these chic organizers. Calpak Packing Cubes Metallic Five-Piece Set, $70
Actually Flattering Joggers
Finally, a happy medium between tight leggings and saggy sweatpants. These are perfect—the high waist sits exactly right, while the deep pockets are so handy (and cozy). Athleta Venice Jogger, $89
Fancy Night Cream
’Tis the season when your skin basically dries up and blows away, so take this opportunity to scoop up some of the really good stuff when it’s on (rare) sale. SkinCeuticals Renew Overnight Dry, $62
The Cooking Device of Your Dreams
Every mom you know insists you need an air fryer or an Instant Pot, but you’re not ready to give up every last inch of counter space. This single awesome gadget serves both functions and more. Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker, $199
Better Earbuds
Whether you left your last pair on a hotel treadmill or your kid stole them, chances are you need new earbuds. This version offers the added bonus of noise cancellation for that upcoming Jojo Siwa concert you promised to take the kids to. Plus, water-resistance for when you’re taking a call while dashing into the grocery store in the rain, as busy moms do. AirPods Pro, $249
Expensive Doll Stuff
Their outfits and accessories can cost more than yours—unless you take advantage of holiday-deal season. American Girl Rebecca’s Menorah & Dreidel, $50
A Weighted Blanket
Moms need to be swaddled sometimes too. (Picture the looooong snow days that lie ahead.) The Gravity Blanket, $199
Un-Boring Studs
Fun gift for yourself: everyday earrings that your daughter and her friends will be totally jealous of, like this star-and-lightning pair. Zoe Chicco 14-Karat Yellow-Gold Studs, $200
