Editor’s note: Black Friday is over, which means we’re no longer updating this post. But don’t worry: There are plenty of Cyber Monday deals to be had. Check out our roundup of the best Cyber Monday deals on Strategist-recommended products, and sign up for our email newsletter so you never miss a sale again.

If you’re a bargain hunter like me, you’ve been counting down the days until the biggest (and busiest) shopping holiday of the year. And although some markdowns have already been live for a few days, Black Friday’s official arrival has brought plenty of new, exciting deals (with some even rolling over into Cyber Monday on November 27).

With countless sales happening across the e-commerce universe, our team of professional shoppers has spent weeks gathering the very best discounts to make navigating this mega-event less hectic. When you scroll on, you’ll find every on-sale item we’ve written about before from many of this site’s top merchants, such as Amazon, Brooklinen, Dermstore, Girlfriend Collective, Hay, J.Crew, Material Kitchen, Parachute, Sephora, and more. Below, I uncovered many Strategist best-in-class products, like our favorite breathable button-down pajamas, our go-to vacuum for carpets (and rugs), and our best all-around dry shampoo for all hair types. I also found tons of celebrity-endorsed items and even some standouts that I think would make exceptional gifts this holiday season.

I’ve updated this post for the final time today, so beware that prices and availability are subject to change as Black Friday winds down. If you see something you like, don’t dillydally: Many of our favorite picks tend to sell out fast. As always, if you want to be the first to hear about even more Strategist-vetted steals, sign up for our email newsletter here.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
