There are a few different categories of product that I personally shop for every Black Friday weekend. I’d be lying if I said the first one wasn’t “small luxury items that I cannot ordinarily justify the price for.” When combing through Strategist-favorite brands and retailers to find the best Black Friday deals for under $25, I came across many tempting options, from Clinique’s TikTok-famous Black Honey lipstick (always wanted to try it!) to Olaplex shampoo (I’m not a natural blonde) to Boy Smells candles (which smell lovely but usually cost almost $50).

Treats aside, I also found a lot of practical stuff that I’d probably buy anyway at some point and would therefore be very happy to save a few dollars on right now: useful wardrobe basics (from Madewell, J.Crew, the Gap, Old Navy, Uniqlo, and Free People), phone chargers (from trusted brands like Anker), and kitchen storage solutions (save me, Hay crates, save me). As well as lots of gift ideas for the kids in my life, from board games and puzzles to Squishmallows.

Below you’ll find more than 100 products discounted to less than $25, almost all of which we’ve tested and written about before. If you’re still on the hunt, my fellow writer Brenley Goertzen has found the best Black Friday deals under $50, and it would also be worth checking out our big hub of all the best Black Friday sales.

Deals I Personally Think Are the Best

While looking for big discounts on fancy brand names I came across Kiehl’s Creme de Corps body lotion (designer Rachel Antonoff and model Amanda Lepore are fans) for 50 percent off, which means you can display a bottle of it on your nightstand for just $19. On the practical font, Old Navy’s pajamas are all around half-off right now, including the classic striped set below that’s made from 100 percent cotton. And the affordable Amazon weighted blanket that we’ve been testing and recommending for several years is at its lowest price ever right now, just in time for cozy season.
