Updated on Friday, November 28, at 3:46 p.m. As a shopping editor of six years, I take tracking the best Black Friday deals of 2025 seriously—and it’s officially my Super Bowl. Of sales, that is. Today is Black Friday (with Cyber Monday on its heels), and I woke up at the crack of dawn to bring you the the biggest price drops of the year from major companies like Amazon, Quince, Lululemon, Sol de Janeiro, Apple, and Dyson.

Of course, you’ve got better things to do then find the cheapest Vitamix blender, Dyson Airwrap, Apple earbuds, and Canada Goose puffer. Let me be your guide, along with the rest of Glamour’s professional shopping team. We’ve rounded up the standout sales worth shopping now (including excellent Black Friday clothing deals) and will keep updating this story today and through Monday. Let’s get into it!

The everything store’s Black Friday sales event is here. This is where you’ll find some of the strongest markdowns on big-ticket products (and everything else)—and get your holiday shopping squared away. We’re eyeing the Apple AirPods 4 (last year’s top seller), $100 off the Shark FlexStyle (Glamour commerce writer Alanna Martine Kilkeary says it gives her “enviable curls”), and 30% off Medicube’s viral Collagen Overnight Mask.

Glamour readers (and editors, including me) shop at Quince for its luxe basics at competitive pricing—even more so, now there’s a Quince Black Friday sale.

I’ve tracked Dyson Black Friday sales for years, and it’s hard to find great deals outside Cyber season. Currently, the Dyson Airwrap (which I've reviewed and highly recommend) is over 20% off—the lowest price I've seen it at. There are comparable discounts on its viral Airstrait multi-styler, Supersonic hair dryer, and 37% off its Dyson V8 stick vacuum (a game changer in any small space).

Frequently asked questions about Black Friday

When are Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025?

As always, Black Friday technically falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which this year is today, November 28, 2025. Cyber Monday is on December 1, 2025.

Are Black Friday deals worth it?

Yes—Black Friday deals are generally worth it. Major retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart offer some of their steepest discounts of the year, especially on tech, appliances, and big-ticket items. Inventory can move quickly, but if the price is genuinely low and the item is in stock, Black Friday is often the best time to buy.

What are the biggest sales on Black Friday?

You can expect Black Friday 2025 to mirror last year’s biggest performers. Tech leads the day—think Amazon and Google smart-home devices, Ring cameras, MacBook Airs, iPhones and iPads, Apple and Samsung watches, QLED and OLED TVs, Nintendo consoles, routers, Bluetooth speakers, earbuds, and Sony or Bose noise-cancelling headphones. (AirPods Pro 2 were a top seller in 2024.)

Home and kitchen deals are also major, including Dyson vacuums, Ninja air fryers and the Creami, KitchenAid mixers, Vitamix blenders, and Keurig machines. Beauty and skin care typically see big drops—Dyson Airwrap, Sol de Janeiro, and K-beauty brands like Medicube and Laneige. Clothing deals center on loungewear, affordable denim, sweaters, and cold-weather outerwear.

Which retailers have the best Black Friday deals now?

Right now, the strongest Black Friday deals are coming from Amazon, Nordstrom, Best Buy, Ulta, Lululemon, Ugg, and some major mattress brands (like Casper, for example).

Is it better to shop on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Both days offer strong deals, since most retailers keep prices consistent across the weekend. Tech devices and big-ticket home and kitchen appliances usually hit their lowest prices around Black Friday—a legacy of old “doorbuster” promotions. Beauty, fashion, and smaller giftable goods often peak on Cyber Monday with sitewide promo codes. If a product is especially popular or limited in stock, it’s smartest to buy it as soon as you see it on sale.

How do I know if a deal is actually good?

A good deal isn’t really about the percentage off, as retailers sometimes inflate list price. What matters is whether the sale price matches or beats its historical low. Tools like CamelCamelCamel how Amazon price history, and it’s wise to compare big-ticket items across a few retailers and factor in perks like free shipping. If a product rarely goes on sale or comes from a brand that hardly discounts, that’s a real deal.

Will Amazon Black Friday deals change?

Reliably (and somewhat frustratingly!), yes. Amazon’s Black Friday event kicked off on November 20 and runs through Cyber Monday, and the deals change constantly. Just like Prime Day, new promotions drop without warning, and limited-time Lightning Deals can disappear within hours or once stock sells out. So if you’re hovering over checkout on a price you feel good about…you can probably guess what I’ll recommend.
