The Black Friday deals have begun and the home and kitchen sales below will help you check off your entire gift list (and to-do list ahead of the holidays). Need to find a present for your impossible-to-shop-for mom? Try the digital picture frame from Aura. Trying to figure out a gift for your son who needs absolutely everything for his new apartment? Start with better sheets. Need to get your house ready before you host the entire family for Christmas? Get new towels and a more robust coffee maker — the absolute essentials.
From brands like Made In, Brooklinen and Moccamaster to retailers like Nordstrom and Huckberry, we’ve rounded up some of the best Black Friday sales and picked out our favorite deals among each sale. Some of them will net you massive discounts. Others are rare deals on some of the gear we love best.
Check back later, all the way through Cyber Monday and beyond, as we’ll be adding new sales and updating deals. But don’t be afraid to shop now: as you’ve probably noticed, many brands have already unleashed their full discounts.
The Deals I Love the Best
My favorite deals I found are on things I already own. The digital picture frames from Aura have been my go-to gift for a couple years: incredibly easy to use, and endlessly delightful, especially for the moms and grandmas in your life. I am obsessed with the Rancilio Silvia espresso machine I use every single morning, and this one includes a PID controller which means better temperature regulation (get it for the coffee fanatic in your life, even if that is yourself). And the Faribault Cabin Wool Throw is one of my all-time favorite American-made products. — Alex Lauer
The InsideHook Guide to Black Friday Insanity
The deals on sweaters, headphones, gifts for her and more continueMade In Cookware
Many of us here at InsideHook have added pieces from Made In to our own kitchens (I personally love my Carbon Steel Frying Pan, which I’ve been using for four years now). But like many other brands, they’re throwing an “up to 30% off” sale, which means most of their pots, pans, knives and dishes are only like 15% off. So we picked out the best pieces that get the full discount, or close to it.
Faribault Mill
I wrote about this 159-year-old mill, one of two vertically integrated woolen mills left in the U.S., earlier this year during our series on the best American-made products. Now’s your chance to experience their expertly crafted blankets for yourself (or give them as gifts, I guess). Use code 10BELOW to get an additional 10% off on top of listed discounts.
Brooklinen
Last night I slept in Brooklinen sheets, as I’ve done for years. And guess what? I loved them as much last night as I did the first slumber. For Black Friday, they’re taking 25% off sitewide on their bed, bath and other home goods, with a few exceptions, but also some extra discounts sprinkled around on top of that (as seen below).
Cast Iron Skillets
Cast iron steaks. Cast iron pies. Cast iron cinnamon rolls. Cast iron pancakes. Cast iron mac and cheese. These are the soul-nourishing winter dishes you could be serving up through the holidays and the long, cold months ahead if you take advantage of these sales on some of my personal favorite skillets.
Plunge
Full disclosure: I just interviewed Ryan Duey, co-founder and CEO of Plunge, for InsideHook’s How I Work series. (Story coming in mid-December!) But that chat reminded me that my house would be 1,000,000 times better with a cold plunge tub and sauna. Thankfully they’re running a barnburner of a Black Friday sale.
Huckberry
To keep you on your toes, Huckberry is offering different Black Friday and Cyber Monday drops throughout the week — so you’ll have to check back to see what new items are going on sale. Or just nab the best home goods as selected by us below.
Nordstrom
Every Moccamaster coffee maker that Nordstrom sells is on sale (plus the coffee grinders), and that’s just the beginning of the cornucopia of discounts raining down on the department store.
Schoolhouse
This furniture, lighting and lifestyle goods brand based in Portland, Oregon has all the eye-catching essentials a well-furnished home needs. The designs are delightful, but not too eccentric that they’ll clash with whatever you already have. It’s 20% off everything, 25% off orders over $250, with special deals on certain days.
Mattresses
You’re probably not going to buy a mattress for anyone as a gift (although it would certainly look impressive under the tree, even if it comes rolled up), but considering this is the best time of year for mattress discounts, this is your moment to wrap something up for yourself. After all, it gets dark at like 4 p.m. now — so do yourself a favor and upgrade that bed you’re spending waaaay more time in.
