The Best Cyber Week Sales You Can Still Shop: From Amazon to Zappos

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Retailers

Cyber Monday ended last night, but we have noticed a fair amount of retailers are extending their sales and turning them into a full-on Cyber Week. Most deals are the same as what we saw over the weekend, and almost all are the best the brands have offered all year.

As you would probably expect, Amazon still has tons of excellent deals left, but I was surprised to find that some independent brands like Parachute have extended their sales. And don’t forget about all of the mattress deals, most of which began before Black Friday and will last for the rest of this week (but make sure you check the date because a lot of the deals, mattresses or not, end at midnight tonight).

Here, I’ve organized all of the best sales alphabetically by merchant, from Amazon and Balsam Hill to West Elm and Zappos. If you want even more sales coverage, sign up for our email newsletter to stay in the loop.

Amazon

Amazon has had some of the best deals, and the selection is extensive. Our writer Jeremy Rellosa rounded up all of the best Amazon Cyber Monday deals, but I pulled out some highlights: I spotted a Theragun for over 30 percent off, AirPods for the deepest discount they’ll get all year, and the snail-mucin essence that Strategist readers can’t buy fast enough when it goes on sale.

Areaware

All of Areaware’s colorful and kooky home décor is 25 percent off with the code VERYMERRY25. (I’ve had my eye on these flower-shaped salad tongs forever.)

Backcountry

The outdoor-gear retailer is offering up to 70 percent off a cache of winter coats and walking shoes. And if you’re an Expedition Perks member — which is free to join with just an email address — you can take 20 to 25 percent off one full-price item, too.

Ban.do

Use the code GOBIG to take 35 percent off everything at Ban.do. We enjoy the site’s huge collection of colorful planners and desk accessories, and there are plenty of giftable goodies to be found, too.

Balsam Hill

Most of our best-in-class artificial Christmas trees are from Balsam Hill, which our experts say are the most realistic-looking trees on the market. A huge selection of lit and unlit options at varying heights are up to 50 percent off — and don’t snooze on the décor section to really zhuzh up your tree.

Best Buy

Best Buy was one of the first stores to post its Cyber Week sales, and the savings are surprisingly good, including one of our best digital picture frames for just $50.

Brooklinen

Everything at Brooklinen is 25 percent off — the best discount I’ve seen the brand offer. So if you’ve been thinking about upgrading to their super-plush towels, silky bedsheets, supportive-yet-soft pillows, or fluffy bathrobes, now is the time.

Buffy

Everything at Buffy is 25 percent off. I’ve owned the brand’s Cloud comforter since 2019, and I’m excited to break it out of my linen closet now that it’s truly cold outside. Plus, most products have a seven-day free-trial period, so you can make sure you love your new bedding before you fully commit.

Calpak

Calpak’s sleek suitcases, bags, and other travel accessories are up to 60 percent off. I’ve trekked across the country for the last three years with the Hue carry-on; I particularly appreciate the front-loading pocket, which makes unloading and reloading my laptop in airport security much faster.

Caraway

Caraway’s latest promotion lasts through the end of the year. It’s a buy more, save more situation — so you can take 10 percent off orders over $85, 15 percent off orders over $425, and 20 percent off orders over $525 (plus a free kettle). It’s not a very big discount, but you can save quite a bit if you’re planning to buy a full cookware set, which are already cheaper than buying each piece individually.

Cuup

All of Cuup’s ultrachic undergarments are 25 percent off, and select colors are up to 75 percent off. The brand’s bras are a favorite of Strategist staffers, with former writer Latifah Miles saying she has “never felt sleeker” than when she is wearing the Plunge bra.

Dagne Dover

One of our most-loved bag brands, Dagne Dover, is offering 25 percent off sitewide at checkout through November 29. Its sleek signature tote and neoprene backpack can both be found in our best-in-class work bags story, and the Ace nabbed the top spot as our favorite fanny pack. Several Strategist staffers own the fanny pack, which “holds its shape even when I’ve stuffed it full of my essentials,” according to our writer Rachael Griffiths.

Dame

Fancy vibrator brand Dame is offering 25 percent off sitewide through December 10. There are a few products that are extra discounted, like the Eva, which we named the best vibrator for couples.

Dermstore

Thousands of Strategist-vetted skin-care products are up to 30 percent off when you use the code STRAT. If you’d like to go straight to the best of the best, our best overall sunscreen and best overall eye cream are both 20 percent off. And I have my eye on Embroylisse’s makeup artist-approved moisturizer.

Eberjey

Everything at Eberjey is 25 percent off with the code COZY25. (The code stacks with already-on-sale items, which are up to 40 percent off.) The Gisele pajamas won our fashion writer Ambar Pardilla over with its light, non-clingy fabric — so much so that she named it our best overall pick.

Fable

Fable’s surprisingly attractive dog toys and accessories are all 20 percent off with the code BFCM2023. The wobbly slow feeder offers added mental enrichment at mealtime, according to our junior writer Brenley Goertzen, whose Aussie mix enjoys knocking it around to release food.

Food52

Use the code CYBER to take 20 percent off orders under $300 and 30 percent off orders over $300. There’s plenty of Strategist-approved décor for holiday hosting, the glass jewelry dish our readers buy in droves, and, of course, the brand’s huge selection of excellent Christmas-tree ornaments.

Girlfriend Collective

For Strategist-approved workout clothes that are just as cute outside the gym, run to Girlfriend Collective because everything is 30 percent off. Select styles and colors are up to 60 percent off, like my favorite skort which I wear no less than once per week. It’s $43 in neutral like black and brown and just $25 if you buy it in limited-edition hues like blood orange and baby blue.

Hanna Andersson

At Hanna Andersson, take 50 percent off sitewide and an extra 20 percent off clearance items. We’re obsessed with the matching holiday pajamas, and the brand’s zipped onesies make a foolproof baby-shower gift. And several parents (including Strategist staffers) swayed us to include these organic cotton briefs in our guide to the best kids’ underwear.

J.Crew

J.Crew is having one of its best sales all year, as everything is up to 50 percent off. And since there’s so much on sale, I though we’d start with some Strategist staples, like our best overall button-up for men, our best black turtleneck, and our best cotton pajama set.

Lalo

Stylish baby-gear brand Lalo is offering up to 40 percent off, with the best deals being on bundles. The brand’s convertible high chair is our pick for infants, and its bundle comes with a tray, an adjustable footrest, a cushion, and a set of feeding accessories.

Levi’s

Levi’s jeans take up most of the real estate of our best-in-class guides to denim for men and women, and right now everything (including the clearance section) is 40 percent off. That’s about as good a deal as you’ll get, so I’ll be stocking up on my favorite fit, the Ribcage straight. And to outfit your little ones, kids’ denim and accessories get an even deeper discount at 50 percent off.

Lovehoney

There’s lots to choose from over at Lovehoney, including our best overall vibrator, the Magic Wand; our best (less-expensive) air-suction toy; and even an advent calendar.

Lo & Sons

Lo & Sons’ Strategist-approved travel bags are the cheapest I’ve ever seen them at up to 70 percent off. I’m a fan of our best weekend bag for light packers, the O.G. 2, which is well worth the price (especially when it’s half-off). But if you’d like to hit the under-$100 mark, the Catalina weekender looks lovely, too.

Lululemon

Lots of Lululemon’s covetable workout gear is on sale — though you may have to do a bit of digging to find your size. For a more in-depth guide to the sale, our writer Katherine Gillespie is covering all the deals here.

Madewell

Madewell’s sale is probably the best of the bunch, because absolutely everything is 50 percent off with the code CYBER. (And select items are 60 percent off.) Several Strategist staffers swear by the brand’s stretchy denim, and their iconic Transport tote is our best overall workbag.

Maisonette

Maisonette’s carefully curated collection of kids’ clothing, toys, and furnishings is up to 70 percent off. You’ll find plenty of fake food and toy-kitchen sets, as well as some nice-looking duds to beef up their dress-up drawer — and all of it would make excellent holiday gifts.

Material

Material Kitchen is offering a tiered discount: Take 15 percent off orders under $100; 20 percent off orders between $100 and $299.99; and 25 percent off orders of $300 or more. I’m a fan of the brand’s cutting boards, and you can also find Material’s knives and cookware in several of our best-in-class guides.

Mattresses

There are so many mattresses on sale that our writer Kitty Guo has been compiling all of our favorites here.

Monos

Monos is offering up 40 percent off some of our favorite pieces of luggage with the code CYBERWEEK, including the reliable polycarbonate cases that frequent fliers told us are a doddle to keep clean.

Net-a-Porter

For the fashion-forward, we were delighted to see that Net-a-Porter, who rarely has sales, is offering steep discounts on plenty of designer goods. (Like a half-off Jacquemus scarf.)

Nordstrom

As expected, the best deals at Nordstrom are on clothing, particularly in the women’s department. (The Nike Air Force 1s are the cheapest I’ve seen them in a while.) Nordstrom is also price-matching sales at several other merchants, including Casper and Our Place. But there are also some good deals on beauty, like the Drybar’s blow-dryer brush.

The North Face

Take up to 40 percent off cozy outerwear, camping gear, and other outdoorsy accessories at the North Face.

Our Place

Everything at Our Place is up to 40 percent off. You can find several of our favorite items on sale — including the recently revamped Always Pan and some surprisingly chic glass containers that our senior editor Chelsea Peng says are “actually kind of happy-making to see in the fridge.”

Outdoor Voices

One sale I’ll definitely be shopping is at Outdoor Voices, where everything is up to 60 percent off. I’m eyeing the new collection of fleece pullovers — and the matching kids’ version is adorable, too. For hunkering down at home, we’re partial to the brand’s CloudKnit line, which can be found in several of our best-in-class loungewear posts.

Papier

Papier’s gorgeous stationery is up to 30 percent off, no code needed. Since 2024 is just over a month away, now’s a good time to nab a new planner; both myself and my fellow Strategist writer Rachael Griffiths own one and love how many beautiful designs there are to choose from.

Parachute

Everything is 20 percent off at Parachute, which is about as good a deal as you’ll get. I recommend splurging on our best overall linen sheet set, which are a lovely year-round bedding. Parachute’s plush cotton bathrobe is one of the most recommended bathrobes on the Strategist to date, and the down pillows are our top-choice pillow for back sleepers, too. Find all our favorite picks at Parachute here.

Paravel

Paravel is offering 30 percent off its entire site, which is the deepest discount I’ve seen it offer on the widest breadth of stuff. We’ve included the brand in our lists of the best weekend bagsbest fanny packsbest duffels for travel, and coolest cross-body bags.

Perfame

I’m always a fan of a good dupe, and I’ve recently been loving Perfame’s No. 56 eau de parfum, which is inspired by our best overall perfume. All scents are 25 percent off, and the more you buy, the higher the discount becomes — up to 50 percent off if you buy seven bottles.

Piglet in Bed

I’ve been itching to try some of Piglet’s stylish linens, and the whole site is 25 percent off for Black Friday. We’ve named the brand’s linen sheets our most durable pick, with our editor Maxine Builder remarking that her sheets are “gauzier than ever but not at all worn down” after many washes. And with dozens of colors and patterns to choose from, they’re especially nice for kids’ bedrooms.

Primary

Primary makes colorful, non-gendered kids’ clothing that’s already fairly affordable, and now it’s all up to 40 percent off. We’ve featured the brand in of our guides to children’s clothing and shopping for trans kids and teens, as well as the Strategist Baby Registry, but I think the grown-ups’ section is pretty sweet, too.

QVC

QVC’s sale is great if you’re looking for a big-ticket item, like a Dyson vacuum or KitchenAid stand mixer — but it also has some nice gift sets in the beauty section.

REI

It’s not technically being advertised as a Cyber Monday sale, but REI has some nice discounts that end in the next week or so, so I’ve decided to include them here. The best deals are on winter coats, which are up to half-off, and camping accessories.

Ritual

Everything at Ritual is 40 percent off, no code needed. We particularly like that the brand offers several different multivitamin options depending on your life stage, as well as supplements for digestion and skin care. (I like the HyaCera, which is essenced with a vanilla flavoring that makes it taste like a Coca-Cola.)

SkinStore

You’ll find similar deals to Dermstore at its sister site, SkinStore — just use the code JOY to take up to 50 percent off. I did notice a few more hair-care products on sale, like Rio’s go-to conditioning mask that tones and hydrates her bleached hair.

Soko Glam

We’re such huge fans of Soko Glam that we wrote an entire guide to shopping the brand here, and I’m delighted to see that its Cyber Monday sale is excellent this year. Nearly everything is 35 percent off, including our best less-expensive pimple patches, under-$10 acne-fighting face wash, and a glittery eyeshadow palette.

SSENSE

SSENSE doesn’t often hold sales, but when it does, you can count on some excellent deals on tons of designer goodies. Alessi’s colorful kitchen jar is nearly 30 percent off, and we spotted a few Subu slippers in eye-catching patterns.

Studs

Studs is my favorite brand for high-quality, hypoallergenic, and affordable earrings. Through tonight, everything on the site — including already-on-sale jewels — is 30 percent off.

Tatcha

Take 25 percent off everything over at Tatcha with the code CYBER23. I’m eyeing the dewy skin cream, a reader favorite that our beauty columnist, Rio Viera-Newton, says instantly makes skin look “plumper, brighter, and intensely nourished.”

TomboyX

In our shopping guide for trans kids and teens, many trans people recommended the brand TomboyX for high-quality undergarments for all genders and body types, including binders, period underwear, and loungewear. Everything (including sale styles) is 30 percent off.

True Botanicals

True Botanicals’ Cyber Monday sale is much better than last year’s: Everything is 25 percent off through December 3, no code needed. For a shampoo-commercial shine, the brand’s hair-smoothing oil is “akin to what I would get in a salon chair: smooth, bouncy, and impossibly shiny,” according to our writer Ambar Pardilla.

Universal Standard

All of Universal Standard’s sustainable and size-inclusive apparel is at least 30 percent off, and Strategist readers get an extra 15 percent off with the code STRATEGIST-SECRET15. The brand makes some of our favorite work pants and denim, but we’re also fans of this stretchy long-sleeved tee that comes in 12 colors.

West Elm

There’s a nice mix of furniture, holiday décor, and bedding on sale at West Elm. I spotted our best (less expensive) velvet duvet cover for 40 percent off, the cheapest I’ve ever seen it.

Zappos

The best discounts at Zappos, unsurprisingly, are on footwear, including brands like Crocs, Dr. Martens, Hoka, UGG, and Vans. But you can also find apparel, handbags, jewelry, and even a few watches on sale.

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.
