Well, yet again the holiday sales have started earlier than ever and they are GOOD. I’m seeing brands that never discount, discount and I’m seeing major markdowns across retailers of all kinds. I’ve been scoping out the best ones and while I’ll have a big roundup on both Black Friday & Cyber Monday – I wanted to share some of the best early sales happening now as things are going fast.
I hope this post helps you find some great gifts for those on your list – or of course, yourself, too 😉 It includes a curation from just the brands I shop at regularly and own pieces from. And is freshly updated as of this morning!
The Best Early Holiday Sales
The amount of work for sales posts like this is huge so I wanted to just be really outright in saying how much I appreciate you shopping purposefully from my links. And for engaging with my content (pinning it! commenting on it! saving it! sharing it with friends! all of these actions go a long way).
If you want to be sure I receive credit for your purchase, I thought I’d just quickly share how it works! You must click on the item and buy it in that browser window between 7 and 30 days. (Every retailer’s window varies). If you swipe up and screenshot something I share on your phone and then Google it and buy it via your desktop – I won’t get credit. Your browser basically has to be able to follow the trackable link I share in order to give credit.
And, as an aside, it doesn’t matter if you buy the item I recommended.
I will get credit for whatever you end up purchasing from that retailer! (This is a question I get commonly so thought I’d clarify.)
And if you’re shopping from other creators/bloggers/etc. today – whoever’s link you click on last before you click PURCHASE – they are the ones who will get credit.
Buying anything through the links shared on my LiketoKnowit profile also will give me credit. (That page is also a great resource if you’re trying to find something I recently talked about or wore). It is also easily found under The Shop – What Meghan’s Wearing.
The reason Creators drive you to LiketoKnowit or blog posts is because when you swipe up on a link in Instagram Stories, the link becomes invalid and unable to be tracked as soon as you close that window and go back to browsing Instagram. It equates to a lot of lost revenue sadly.
But just know your purchases through my links is so appreciated and I’m grateful for all your support – truly.
And if you’re not shopping or would prefer to spend your money donating to a worthy cause – several of my favorites can be found here.
Now, onto the sales…
Amazon
Loads of early Black Friday deals are now live.
And btw if you’re not an Amazon Prime member yet I cannot recommend it enough! A lot of the picks from my Amazon Prime Day roundup may also be marked down if you’re looking for some guidance!
Also they are doing deals on Audible, too which I think would make a great gift.
Amazon Fashion
They launched a lot of Black Friday deals early! I’d check brands good for gifting like UGG. Easily shop all my best Amazon Fashion Finds.
Ann Taylor
40% off everything! WOAH. Shop their new arrivals and coats first because they’re so good! And if you want some good holiday outfits look no further than these pieces. They are one of the first brands I look to when it comes to fun holiday outfits.
AYR
One of my favorite small fashion brands offering pieces that instantly give you that effortlessly cool girl factor. Everything is now 20% off which is a very rare sale for them! I like their stripe tees and denim and jackets most of all but they also recently launched men if you’re looking for a cool, unique piece to get your man this holiday season.
Aurate Jewelry
Some of my favorite jewelry now on sale. Dainty, feminine perfection.
Best Buy
If you’re looking for electronics you’ll see a lot of their Black Friday deals are live already like $200 off my Samsung Frame TV.
Brooklinen
Longtime readers know I’m obsessed with Brooklinen’s Classic Sheets, Heathered Cashmere Sheets and Bath Towels and they’re doing 20% off. I can’t recommend this brand enough – go ahead and treat yo self and upgrade your bed or bath! Would also make a great luxury gift for someone. All my favorites from the brand are in this recent post.
Club Monaco
You can get up to 30% off everything! Their new arrivals are really good but I always think buying a coat from CM this time of year is the best bet.
Credo Beauty
A most epic GWP – score a 21-piece (!!!) gift with a value of $290 that you could break up into gifts for your girlfriends. You’ll score it with any $175+ purchase online + in-store. Don’t miss shopping all their good holiday sets this time of year!
If shopping Credo and want some recs – my favorites can be found in this recent post.
H&M
30% off your purchase when you sign up to be a member (free to join!). Their sweaters and coats are the best thing to shop in my opinion.
Hill House
30% off! They are the makers of a couple of my pillowcases and of course everyone’s favorite Nap Dress. They rarely discount and a lot of styles are already going fast.
J.Crew Factory
50-70% off everything– wowza! I always find so many good pieces in their Holiday Outfits Shop.
J.Crew
Up to 50% off dressed-up styles and extra 50% off sale styles. Plus, extra 15% off your entire purchase! Use code FESTIVE. I am loving their new arrivals (so many fun and festive finds for this time of year!) but the sale also includes a lot of items I own and love. If you’re shopping for yourself, don’t miss my favorite slip skirt, my trench coat and some other favorites I recently shared here. Also just got this blazer in camel in 6 and it is sooo good.
Jenni Kayne
This brand is pricey so I always buy stuff when it is on sale and they are doing 25% off! See my favorites in my Jenni Kayne Apparel Review which will help with sizing guidance as well as I wear sizes S-XL in pieces (!) Use code VIP25. My most loved favorites + the styles I am eyeing for both Clothing and Home are showcased below!
Lake Pajamas
25% off everything! This brand’s pajamas make excellent gifts.
Madewell
40% off (!!!) on the brand’s must-have pieces both online and in-stores with code OHJOY. IMO don’t miss shopping their Best Sellers and the new Winter Collection.
Margaux
Timeless, comfortable shoes you’ll reach for time and time again. They rarely do sales so hop to their 20% off sale. A few exclusions apply. Two of my favorite timeless styles seen here and here are included. (I size up half a size in the mules!)
M.M.LaFleur
Sale on sale! Score an additional 20% off beautiful, timeless pieces like this cami, this slip dress, this hoodie from my capsule, this sweatshirt and this cashmere sweatshirt. They’ll be adding more styles as the week goes on so you can keep checking back in!
Naadam
30% off cozy cashmere and other knit pieces for Him & Her. (Lots of gifts for guys if you need ideas!)
Naked Cashmere
I have a couple sweaters from this under the radar brand and I love them. They have some bundles of products with promotional pricing right now!
Nike
So many sneakers marked down!
Nordstrom
Up to 60% off! Coats, boots, Tory Burch flats, jeans, Hunter boots, sherpa jackets and so much more marked down! Also lots of good gifts for guys (always need help in this department!), beauty sets for your nieces/girlfriends/colleagues/bosses and home gifts, too (Bose speakers! Cozy throws!) Don’t miss their holiday decor, either.
Below are some of my favorites from the markdowns – all from brands I regularly shop at Nordstrom. Several of which I own, too!
Otherland
Up to 35% off one of my favorite candle brands! Their gift boxes of three candles make elegant, practical gifts.
True Botanicals
Score up to 30% off your order of this beloved skincare. I also love this brand’s facial oils! They have really nice gift sets this year, too.
Truffle
My go-to cases for travel. These chic carryalls are favorite gifts to give and many styles are now 25% off.
Verishop
Verishop has such an awesome curation. It’s a relatively new site but I’ve been shopping from there quite a bit this year. I particularly love their Home assortment. Code HOLIDAY will get you 25% off Fashion (they carry a lot of great brands) and 15% off Home and Beauty & Wellness. Don’t miss browsing their Gifts section, too.
Happy Shopping! Be sure to also check out my gift guides and Holiday Shop for picks that may also be marked down, too!
And a lot of other items I own may be on sale, too if you’d like to shop my closet.
How do the Athleta leggings compare to the lulu Aligns?
Not as soft and not as high waisted- a bit more sporty I’d say! Like them though – great for running arouns
Looking to get a JCrew coat through your link. 50% off seems great. Do you think it’s likely their Black Friday deals will be even better?
No! 50% is the sale through 12/1 so I would buy now so your size/color doesn’t sell out!
Hi Meghan:
Can you tell me about the blouse you are wearing above? The black polka dot? It is so cute!
Thanks,
Cindy
Hi Cindy! Was a Zara find last year!
