Who doesn't want to snuggle up in an oversized hoodie in the winter? Amazon shoppers certainly do! Over 2,000 customers have bought this warm sweatshirt in the past month alone. There are 33 styles to choose from, and now that it's over 30% off, you may want to buy more than one.
"I love this sweatshirt, it's roomy, soft, and oh so warm. It's the perfect sweatshirt to wear when the weather turns cold. I've washed my sweatshirt multiple times and it doesn't shrink, fade or lose softness," said one five-star reviewer.
This No. 1 bestselling, TikTok-famous compact carpet cleaner packs a punch, especially considering it weighs less than 10 pounds! Its powerful suction can be used to remove stains not just from rugs, but furniture and even car upholstery, too. Plus, it comes with a self-cleaning hose tool and a bottle of Bissell's Spot & Stain with Febreeze. We haven't seen this viral cleaner priced much lower than it currently is in years (it was only a few bucks cheaper back in July for Prime Day) — and when you consider how much money it'll save you in professional cleaning bills (and replacement furniture), it'll pay for itself in just a few uses.
"I've had a Ninja blender for seven years, so I know they perform well and hold up over time, but my kids have been lobbying hard for a new and improved model. This one automatically adjusts its speed to frozen vs. fresh ingredients and has the ability to chop or mince vegetables. The Amazon Black Friday deal on this new version is all the incentive I needed to take the plunge."

Add a little celebrity glam to your kitchen, minus the high price tag. Available in White Icing or Black Sesame (pictured).
A basic ad-supported Hulu subscription will typically run you $10 a month, but when you sign up during Hulu's Black Friday sale, you can get Hulu for just $1 per month.
While the service now offers great bundles like the Disney+ trio or the Hulu live TV tier, classic Hulu is a great subscription for any TV fan to have. For just $12 for the year, you'll get access to great Hulu Originals like Normal People, The Handmaid's Tale, Only Murders in the Building and The Great, plus all FX shows like Justified: City Primeval, The Bear and A Murder at the End of the World.
And if you want access to Disney+ too, you can bundle the two together for just $2.99/month for the entire year — that's just $36. That'll get you access to every show and movie in the MCU, Disney Channel content, all the Disney Princess films and even some live shows airing on ABC like Dancing with the Stars.
"I'm strongly against giving candles as gifts and perhaps it's because I've received so many over the years. At this point, my collection is getting a bit out of control, so I'm making an effort to burn through a bunch this year. I hate using matches and my lighter always runs out of fuel, so I'm going to snag this rechargeable lighter while it's on sale for 60% off. There's no flame or fuel — just plug it into a USB charger to refuel it."
— Amanda Garrity, Gifting Editor
"A friend had one of these amazingly handy cooler sticks over the summer and now I not only need to have one but — especially at this $10 price — buy them as gifts for every white wine and rosé drinker I know."
— Jennifer Romolini, Senior Beauty Editor
"I've been seeing a distressing amount of hair in my shower drain lately, so I'm going to give this anti-thinning Pura D'Or shampoo and conditioner set a whirl while it's almost half off. I feel like these things are hit-and-miss, but the discount has overcome my skepticism! There are no sulfates and it's packed with natural ingredients, so what have I got to lose? (Hopefully, not more hair.)"
— Saundra Latham, Commerce Editor
"I've sung my praises for Dae's styling cream since the day it came out and I'm due for another restock. Dae is offering 25% off sitewide and 15% off its holiday kits for the shopping holiday, so I'm taking full advantage and snagging this trio of full-sized styling products. This set includes the brand's styling mist, wave spray and, of course, my favorite styling cream."

"The MagSafe feature on most recent generations of the iPhone is one of the best innovations Apple's ever made, especially for the person who loves using their phone while it charges during travel — and hi, that person is me. To do this, though, you need a MagSafe charger and this one is compatible with the latest iPhone and has a heavy-duty braided cable that's hard to strip. Right now, the 2-meter option is only $1 more than its lowest price ever!"

"I am absolutely determined to finally buy a food processor this Black Friday. I love cooking, and for a long time, I didn't mind chopping veggies by hand. But recently, it's felt like a chore, so let a machine help, right? Cuisinart is pretty much the best in the biz, so I'm eyeing this fancy model that's under $100 and has lots of bells and whistles."
— Jeanine Edwards, Shopping Director
"Glossier's Ultralip is my favorite lipstick of all time! Problem is, the brand rarely discounts and it's expensive at full price. But right now, for Black Friday, everything on the site is 25% so I'm stocking up! Vesper is my go-to color, but I also purchased few new ones to try because the price is just too good to pass up."

"I impulse-bought this chopper in 2019 after a particularly weepy onion-cutting session left me barely able to see through my tears. If you well up while chopping onions, dislike dealing with capsaicin-covered fingers from chilis, or lack the knife skills of a pro, you need this tool. Before I had it, I often nicked my fingertips. It's not only a lifesaver for my Band-Aid-adorned digits but also speeds up veggie prep, even with kids and pets causing chaos. It makes quick work of laborious recipes and is safe enough for my 10-year-old to join in on the cooking."
— Janelle Randazza, Commerce Editor
"Another stellar gift I'll be buying in bulk this season is this adorable four-pack of Nivea's bestselling, ultra-moisturizing lip tints, which feel great on and leave a just-right blush of color. Right now, the set is on sale for $6 — the lowest price I've seen all year."
— Jennifer Romolini, Senior Beauty Editor
"I usually grab my favorite winter-scented candles while they're on sale on Black Friday, but, this year, I'm going to get a head start and shop them on October Prime Day so I can enjoy them longer. I use an artificial Christmas tree, so I love lighting up this Balsam and Cedar scent from Yankee Candle to give my apartment that cozy holiday feel. This enchanting blend features aromatic balsam, cedarwood and juniper berry — it smells exactly like a real tree. It should last me through the holidays, though I might get two just to be safe."
— Rebecca Carhart, Style Writer
"I purchased a pair of these Madewell flats in black with rhinestones, and they're so comfy — I wore them to walk at least 8K steps the other day! I also got tons of compliments. Now, while they're on sale, I'm grabbing a second pair. Maybe a third. I can't decide between the metallic Pewter and Chocolate Raisin colors."
— Ellie Conley, Trending Writer
"I'm a massive fan of Ruggable's machine-washable rugs. I've had a couple for several years and they've held up impressively well, especially considering I live on a lake and have a very rambunctious, messy dog. I'm planning to get this mat for my kitchen while it's 25% off. (This one's on Amazon, but the entire Ruggable site is 25% off right now.)"
— Jessica Dodell-Feder, Senior Home & Garden Editor
"My all time favorite pimple patches are on sale, so I plan on stocking up. While I've tried numerous pimple patch brands, Hero Cosmetic's Mighty Patches are a cut above the rest. They peel off easily without leaving a red mark on my skin, don't fall off when I'm tossing and turning at night and, most importantly, help any blemish I run into heal in a snap. If you haven't tried these yet, now's the time!"
— Julia Webb, Shopping Manager
"Nabbing this sconce for my bathroom while it's less than $50 for Black Friday! I love the modern globe design, and the black finish will pop against the space's blue, white and wood color scheme."
— Jessica Dodell-Feder, Senior Home & Garden Editor
"I have a few trips booked this winter and I hate traveling with a dead cell phone, so I'm going to scoop up this tiny portable charger while it's on sale. The 3-in-1 charger can charge an iPhone 14 Pro up to two times and it even has a built-in USB-C cable, so I don't have to pack an extra cord."
— Rebecca Carhart, Style Writer
"I recently mustered up the courage to do a big closet cleanout and now, I'm trying to fill in the gaps. I'm lacking in the sweater department, and this relaxed turtleneck style checks all the boxes. It's versatile, comes in petite (a rarity!) and looks warm enough for cold New York City winters. I'm torn between the red and gray — but given that it's nearly half off, I might just snag both."
— Amanda Garrity, Gifting Editor
"During the holidays, I exclusively wear loungewear, so it's not surprising that this zip-up hoodie from Aritzia is at the top of my wishlist this year. It's perfectly oversized, comes in more than 15 colors and has a nice weight to it that keeps me warm and toasty. Plus, it doesn't have any loud branding — it's basic in the best way. Aritzia is offering up to 50% off select styles, so I may also have to snag the matching sweatpants."
