This is where I shop for some of my favorite beauty devices and right now my red light mask (use code WITLED for 20% off) and the NuFace (use code WITNF to get the nuface mini for $110 from $220) are both on sale for their Black Friday deals! When I use these two devices consistently I notice such a difference in my skin.

They even have a bundle where you can buy the two together if you’d like! *Sponsored inclusion.

& Other Stories

25% off everything (this is the biggest discount I’ve seen them do!) Their coats and sweaters are always worth shopping.  Don’t miss *the* coat (size down – wearing a size S above – I own it in 3 colors) and this coat (6) from this season and love them. They do easy free returns, too. This brand makes up a lot of my closet!

(Check sizing – I often size down in their coats and up in their sweaters).

Abercrombie

I have been amazed at how many cute and age appropriate things for even those of us in our 30s Abercrombie has been releasing in recent years. Now is the time to get them on sale for 25% off. I suggest browsing their new arrivals. I think their coats are the best thing they offer including the little jacket I wore recently in Paris here. If you are sleeping on this retailer – consider this your sign.

Amazon

Loads of markdowns across categories. All my Amazon favorites can be shopped here. Also a lot of my favorite home items will be marked down, too! Mostly I’d look at great bigger ticket items like Apple Watches, Apple Macbooks and Apple Airpods all with markdowns on select models, a Kitchen Aid mixer, Nespresso machines (this is the one I have and love!), the Breville Espresso machines people are obsessed with, up to 30% on select YETI drinkware, Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones (I never travel without them but they are also great for WFH if you have noisy neighbors, construction sounds, etc.!), Fitbits, iRobot Roombas, home organizers, a Soda Stream, Dyson items and InstantPots.

And I always browse their Customers Most Loved items.

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

Loads of markdowns – with the biggest ones being on their private label brands which I’ve had some great finds from. You can shop what I won from Amazon in the Fashion department here. I’d check brands good for gifting like UGG

Amazon Beauty

Be sure to nab Crest Whitestrips and my favorite oil soaker. My other Beauty Favs available on Amazon are here.

Ann Taylor

50% 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.

And if you want a sure-fire gift for someone at one of the best prices I have seen – the Ooni Koda Gas-Powered Pizza Oven is what we got my brother and sister in law last year and it turned into a year of pizza parties with their friends and little ones.
