Black Friday is always a lot of pressure for me — not only is it the busiest time of year as a shopping editor, but everyone ends up texting me about deals. “What should I get from Amazon?” "How about Nordstrom?" “Is this deal any good?” “What are you actually buying?” Those are just some of the questions I get. I usually try to be as honest as possible, whether that’s confirming that yes, that deal is the best you’ll get all year or no, that product isn’t worth buying even on sale.

But the easiest solution? Putting together a list of the things that have my stamp of approval for the entire internet to see, spanning across fashion and beauty. Below are the eight Black Friday deals I definitely think are worth shopping this year, from a salon-quality shampoo that’ll actually improve your strands to the best sweatshirt you’ll ever buy:

Ewedoos Fleece Lined Leggings with Pockets

I’ve waxed poetic about Ewedoos’ Fleece-Lined Leggings before, and I’ll do it again (and again). I truly live in the cozy leggings once the temperature drops below 50 degrees. Not only do they keep me warm on long winter walks, but they’re super comfy and go with everything, too. I like to pair them with a long puffer jacket, high ankle socks, and my New Balance kicks. But don’t just take it from me — more than 10,500 Amazon shoppers have left them a five-star rating. At just $20 right now, they’re a total steal.

Spanx AirEssentials Crew Neck Sweatshirt

Spanx

I have quite the collection of sweatshirts, but none have impressed me more than Spanx’s AirEssentials Crew Neck. The ultra-soft pullover is like no other sweatshirt I’ve tried before; the fabric is somehow silky, cozy, and breathable all at once (Oprah said it best: the AirEssentials collection “feels like a hug.”) It’s the perfect sweatshirt if you tend to overheat during the winter (like myself) wearing one too many layers. Plus, it’s so stylish — it has the perfect cut that falls right at your waist and a relaxed (but not unkempt) fit.

Birdies The Phoebe Faux Fur Velvet Mules

Birdies

Now, this is a steal — Birdies’ incredibly chic, faux fur-lined mules are just $50 right now. In case you haven’t heard of the brand, it makes super stylish, slipper-like shoes that are so comfy, you’ll want to wear them both in and out of the house. Even Meghan Markle is a fan; she’s been spotted wearing Birdies since 2016. In addition to the cozy lining, the Phoebe features a velvet upper and non-slip soles. They’re the perfect throw-and-go shoes that’ll elevate any outfit, whether you’re heading to brunch or running an errand.

Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo

Oribe

For anyone that just hasn’t found that perfect shampoo, let me direct you to Oribe’s Gold Lust Shampoo. The hair-repairing formula is one of the best I’ve tried — I mean, there’s a reason professional salons across the nation use it. Made with argan oil, amino acids, biotin, caffeine, and other nourishing plant extracts, the shampoo strengthens, adds shine, and moisturizes. It even aids in hair regrowth, per shoppers. “As a mom of two-under-two, my postpartum hair loss and regrowth has been a huge struggle,” one customer wrote. “This product along with the Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Conditioner has transformed my damaged, dull and dry hair, into a head of hair I no longer recognize.”

Right now, you can snag 20 percent off the shampoo and the rest of Oribe’s Gold Lust collection just for Black Friday.
