Need a little shopping inspiration? These picks are Yahoo editor-approved. (Dae, Amazon)(Dae, Amazon)
Sometimes people say things to us like, "It must be nice shopping for a living!" And we often demur: No, we don't shop for a living. We monitor sales, we thoroughly test products, we obsess over price trackers to find the best deals and we test even more products. But sure, sometimes all that research gets us in the mood to swipe a credit card and snag a great deal or two ourselves. Hey, we're only human! So, yes, Cyber Monday is one of those times. And with discounts this big, every sale shopper should be taking note.
Now if you've ever wondered what a Yahoo shopping editor would buy for themselves on Cyber Monday, scroll on to take a peek into our virtual carts. Because when we pounce on something, you know it's a good deal. Whether you're shopping for loved ones or yourself, you can feel confident about these purchases.

"I've been looking for a new oversized hoodie to cozy up in this winter, and thousands of Amazon shoppers recommend this fleece-lined option. There are 33 styles to choose from, and now that it's over 30% off, I may buy more than one."

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.
If your less-than-glowing chompers could use some restoration, the folks at Crest say these bestselling strips can make teeth up to 20 shades whiter in just 22 days (that's almost one shade per day!).
According to the brand, you're guaranteed to have a noticeably whiter smile, and with this kit, you'll get some bonus express treatments for same-day results. This Prime Day sale drops the price to as low as we've seen it in years. Now that's something to say "cheese!" about.
A tube of this cult-fave cream sells every 5 seconds and you can see why: It's been around since the 1950s and is still a skin care staple in France where it's often cited as the secret to French women's amazing skin. Formulated with shea butter, aloe vera, beeswax and soy protein, this soothing moisturizer is an international sensation, beloved by models and makeup artists alike.
Right now, you can scoop it up for 20% off.
"I've been on a reading kick this year (and I'm loving it), and while I love the feel of a physical book in my hands, it's just not the most practical for traveling and storing once I've finished it. So, instead, I've decided I'm going to pick up the Kindle Paperwhite this Prime Day for a few reasons: It's so thin, it'll barely take up any space in my bag when I travel, it will make reading in bed so much easier and give me less wrist fatigue."
— Moriba Cummings, Commerce Writer
"The best budget tablet just got, er, budget-ier. Amazon's Fire HD 8 packs an embarrassment of tablet riches, and for Labor Day it's on sale for just $65. That ties the lowest price of 2025 and even beats Prime Day. Toss this into any backpack or carry-on and you'll never run short of games, movies, e-books and more." —Rick Broida, Senior Tech Writer
More than 169,000 Amazon shoppers have given these bestselling pillows a five-star rating. Why? They're extra fluffy and feel like real down, like the ones you'd find at a high-end hotel. However, they're also affordable — especially when they go on sale.
"My friend bought this for her guest room when my husband and I spent the night, and we were amazed at how comfortable the pillows were," said a shopper. "It was one of my best nights of sleep in a while! So I had to buy them for our house, and I'm glad I did. They are full-looking and feeling, but not so full that it's uncomfortable to sleep on."
"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."

"I can’t tell you how much this Travelambo wallet has simplified my life. With 18 (yes, 18) credit card pockets and two zippable pouches, it holds all the cards I need to tote around for a family of five — credit cards, health insurance cards, gift cards, membership cards, they all fit! The material is durable and seemingly indestructible — the bottom of my purse is a scary place, and this wallet has stayed pristine for two years and counting. It also comes in great colors and textures that make it look way pricier than it is. I bought five of them this year as holiday gifts for friends and family — no one will ever guess they are just $9!"
—Laura Kenney, Senior Director, Commerce Content
"This handheld frother has taken my morning coffee to the next level. In just seconds, I'm able to transform any type of milk into the thick and creamy foam needed for my lattes and cappuccinos. I also use it to make matcha tea, as I found it’s so much easier (and faster) to use than a traditional matcha whisk..."
— Rebecca Carhart, Style Writer
"The cookware that I received way back at my engagement party is just about on its last legs, so it's time to upgrade — and what better kitchen brand to do that with than KitchenAid? This nine-piece set comes with basically everything we need, including multiple saucepans, frying pans and lids. Plus, it's light blue, which matches everything else in our kitchen!"
— Carrie McCabe, Senior Deals Writer
"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
"I do a lot of online shopping, so I get a lot of packages. This small ceramic-blade box cutter is perfect for tearing them open fast without cutting myself... I use this thing almost daily. It's also great for ripping open the seals on new condiments and removing plastic packaging from beauty products. I have a standard box cutter at home too, but this is less scary (and less risky) to use."
— Ellie Conley, Commerce Writer
In case you're not familiar with Drew Barrymore's Beautiful line at Walmart, know that the collection is just that — beautiful. Case in point: This gorgeous cookware set, which comes with every pot, pan and cooking utensil you'll ever need (and then some). Plus, each vessel has a slick nonstick coating to make cleaning a breeze. Grab one for yourself — and snag another set as a gift for your favorite foodie.
"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."
— Julia Webb, Shopping Manager
"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!"
— Moriba Cummings, Trending Writer
"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."
— Jeanine Edwards, Shopping Director

"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 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."
— Julia Webb, Shopping Manager
"I already own one of these (bought a couple of years ago, when it was sadly, not on sale) and have been very happy with how quickly and easily I can stream the many channels I subscribe to. I have an older Fire Stick on another TV and decided it deserves a Cube upgrade, as well. I've had it in my cart for a week or so now in anticipation of Prime Day. I'll be clicking 'buy' first thing on Oct. 8!"
— Jessica Dodell-Feder, Senior Home and Garden Editor
"After it took me the better part of a morning to sort through the latest avalanche of mismatched, dingy food storage containers from our cabinets, my husband suggested that it might be time for a fresh start. I'm eyeballing this highly rated freezer- and oven-safe glass set with airtight lids for plenty of reasons. Chief among them: I'm tired of plastic! It's just impossible to keep clean. It'll be nice to put something with a little more heft on my shelves, which should help prevent the aforementioned plastic avalanche. I'm also ready for a set that should last for years, and reviewers say this borosilicate will go the distance."
— Saundra Latham, Commerce Editor
"I'm one of those people who has at least two lip products in every purse — and there's a good chance that at least one of those lippies is from Laneige. The brand's Lip Glowy Balm is one of my all-time favorite lip balms, because not only does it hydrate and soothe my pout, but it has a glossy, high-shine finish. It looks great on its own or on top of lipstick, so you can bet I'm stocking up while it's on sale."
— Julia Webb, Shopping Manager
"The TV in my bedroom functions, but just barely. We've had it for over a decade, the remote buttons work sparingly and it takes forever to load anything, yet I haven't had an excuse to upgrade until now. This 50-inch screen from Insignia is a huge upgrade size-wise from my current 32-inch, yet it isn't so huge that it'll make my bedroom feel like I'm at the cinema. Also, 4K resolution beats out my current barely-HD 720p by a country mile. The best part? It's way less expensive than what I paid for my old one years ago."
— Chris McGraw, Deals Writer
"My cat decided half my dryer balls would be more useful to her as cat toys, so I've been eyeing this set to replace them. They're an Amazon No. 1 bestseller, have nearly 62,000 five-star reviews and come in a set of six for just $13 — that's just over two bucks per dryer ball. Plus, I love that I can just add a couple of drops of my favorite essential oil to make my laundry smell amazing. Lesson learned: Keep the dryer balls under lock and key (or at least in a drawer my cat can't reach)."
— Izabella Zaydenberg, Deputy Editor
"I signed up for this deal last year and enjoyed super affordable Hulu and Disney+ access for 12 straight months. I thought I'd rarely use the Disney+ but it turns out it's the perfect service to have for movie nights. I used the Hulu to keep up with The Golden Bachelorette every week since I don't have cable. At $3/month it is such a steal and I've already signed up again this year!"
— Danica Creahan, Streaming Editor
"I usually opt for a more fitted, paper-thin black turtleneck, but after seeing how many Yahoo readers are fans of this cozy version, I want to give it a try. Simple and sophisticated, this relaxed turtleneck is perfect for transitioning into fall. And since it's so affordable, I might grab it in another color too."
— Rebecca Carhart, Style Writer
"I'm someone who seriously struggles to get up in the morning if there's no sunlight filtering in, which doesn't bode well for the coming months. So, I'm splurging on the Hatch Restore to help get me out of that morning funk. Basically, it's a sunset, sunrise, white noise machine and alarm clock all in one, and you can personalize everything with the Hatch app. There are even meditations and sleep stories. It’s also so chic and will look great with my bedroom decor. I'm expecting the best beauty sleep of my life."
— Sarah Weldon, Commerce Writer
"You know how socks mysteriously go missing for some people? Well for me, it's scrunchies. No matter how many I buy, somehow I'm always down to my last one. I really like the silk kind that don't damage your hair, but they're expensive at full price. That's why I wait for holidays to stock up. They're usually on sale, so I splurge on all the colors and pray I don't lose them all before the next holiday"
— Jeanine Edwards, Shopping Director
"I scooped up a few of these Bali wireless bras awhile ago and now I don't know what I'd do without them. They're comfy enough for every day, yet supportive enough for the gym and even office wear (meaning you don't have to constantly switch up your style). The stretchy back doesn't cut in and adjusts for a custom fit. And at only $18 — over 60% off — I consider this among the most coveted deals."
— Kristin Granero, Senior Commerce Writer
"Admittedly, I'm probably one of the last editors on the Yahoo Shopping team to scoop up this magical serum. I'm always a bit hesitant to add something new to my skin care routine, but after reading our beauty expert Jennifer Romolini's in-depth review (along with the thousands of glowing five-star Amazon reviews), I'm convinced it'll be the key to the 'glass skin' look I'm after. It's said to soften wrinkles, hydrate skin and even out complexion — plus, according to Romolini, it doesn't pill or feel tacky under makeup. That's a huge plus in my eyes."
— Amanda Garrity, Gifting Editor
"Even though I've been working from home for just about five years, I've yet to invest in a comfortable, ergonomic chair. I either sit on my couch or using a dining room chair. Well, that stops now. My posture is suffering and I can no longer take the back and neck pain! I'll be investing in this desk chair that offers lumbar support, a swivel set and flip-up armrests (that way, I can store it completely under my table when it's not in use). I also love that it has a curved shape that's meant to conform to your back and the option to adjust the height depending on your size. I can already feel my pain melting away!"
— Rory Halperin, Senior Commerce Editor, Branded Content
"While my skin care routine has changed through the years, I have never (and will never) part with my beloved Caudalie Beauty Elixir — we're going on almost 10 years now! It's definitely on the pricier side, so I always stock up whenever I see it on sale. It's essentially a face mist toner and setting spray that tightens pores and brings out an overall glow, even when I'm not having a good skin day. Plus, it smells really good and I feel absurdly fancy every time I spritz myself."
— Sarah Weldon, Commerce Writer
"For years, we used our mother-in-law's basement space as an Airbnb rental, and the first thing that every guest raved about was the awesome Tuft & Needle mattress. Now that our tween has upgraded to a bigger bed, we want to treat her and her growing bones to a real mattress. Thrilled to see that Amazon has my favorite mattress disrupter on sale (the T&N site does not). Curious? There's a 100-night free trial."
