The amount of times we’ve typed the words ‘Black Friday’ in our teamwide Slack channels and email subject lines is far too many to count.

Said simply, our Post Wanted shopping team has been on high gear for Black Friday (and Cyber Monday, right around the corner).

From researching the top deals to hunting down top-ticket items like headphones and furniture, our reporters, editors and commerce experts have been on a conveyor belt of slashed-down prices for months on end.

So, what better way to celebrate Black Friday (a.k.a. our Super Bowl) than by highlighting what we’re actually shopping for IRL?

We highlight our favorite WFH essentials, much-needed coffee makers to get us through the day and some of the best beauty finds that make us feel 💯.

We want you to shop for some of the best, most practical deals out there, especially with some brands offering one-day-only sales. Below, find the 30 products we all have in our shopping carts.

After all, when we write and discuss the best products during our 9-to-5s, we want to buy them, too.

“Nothing looks classier than the Ralph Lauren logo, if I’m being honest. As a great transitional jacket for fall and spring, this match-all windbreaker is a great gift for any guy in your life that’s chic and put-together.” — Victoria Giardina, commerce reporter

“I have been dying for a Litter-Robot to help keep my big cat clean in my small apartment. They are now up to $100 off for Black Friday and I couldn’t be happier, while my cat could care less.” — Sophie Cannon, commerce reporter

“It’s true, I still don’t own one—but that’s about to change. With the epic Black Friday deal being offered, I would be silly to not jump on this one. And can we talk about that adorable Spice color?” — Ruby McAuliffe, commerce reporter

“And, of course I had to buy an Always Pan for my new house. They really are magical. I cook a ton and have a lot of equipment but find myself using it all the time. This time I went for the yellow ‘zest’ color, the one I keep at my apartment in Brooklyn is pink ‘spice.” — Jackie Goldstein, VP Commerce

“Glossier has so many amazing products but I have been obsessed with the Priming Moisturizer for years now, so anytime it’s on sale, I stock up! It creates a flawless base for your face makeup and helps keep it on all day.” — Camryn La Sala, commerce writer/editor

“This Black Friday, I’ve got my eyes on a TV. And that TV is this 65-inch TCL 6-series Smart TV which comes with Roku and fits my thrifty budget.” — Zac Croce, senior SEO manager

“I’ve finally caught onto the Glossier craze, and I’m excited to take advantage of the brand’s 20% off sitewide sale for Black Friday to restock some items I’ve already tried, as well as some new products.

On top of some of their classic skincare serums, I’m hoping to get my hands on the lightweight skin tint and their new perfume.” — Meaghan Roche, SEO manager

“Bargain hunting is one of my favorite sports so I, of course, love Black Friday. This year I’m going big since I just bought a house and need to fill it up.

During “early Black Friday” sales, I purchased a flatware set for eight people for $29.99. I’m still in shock at how cheap this was; it normally retails for $87.” — Jackie Goldstein, VP Commerce

“I also picked up this dinnerware set for six people for only $39.99 (normally $120). Macy’s tends to have really strong discounts on basics for home.” — Jackie Goldstein, VP Commerce

“My beauty regimen is focused on the neck up and in order to put my best face forward, I am a fanatic about skincare: an investment and the definition of self-care. This year I splurged on the big bottle of the La Mer’s The Concentrate, a potent barrier serum for skin that soothes and protects against aging environmental stressors like pollution.” — DanicaDaniel, features entertainment editor / writer

“One of my gift recipients is known for wearing off-the-shoulder tops — specifically ones with a unique pattern. So naturally, this one from Express captured my attention, especially with the brand’s sitewide Black Friday sale offerings.” — Victoria Giardina, commerce reporter

“I love my Click and Grow Smart Garden 9 (read the review here), so I was thrilled when I saw the plant pods were also on sale for Black Friday. I will for sure be stocking up on the lettuce and basil pods, but those who don’t yet have a garden should jump on it, as they are marked down up to 40%.” — Sophie Cannon, commerce reporter

“A pink product for the win, this glittery holiday Beachwaver is high on my list. With a rotating barrel that effortlessly creates the perfect wave, it’s a must-have for me. Plus, it will make getting ready in the morning a breeze.” — Ruby McAuliffe, commerce reporter

“After years and years of so many friends raving about the Spanx Faux Leather Leggings, I’m going to try and snag them this Black Friday! They’ll pair great with booties and a tunic.” — Camryn La Sala, commerce reporter/editor

“I, like Camryn, also have been eyeing the Spanx Faux Leather Leggings. I regretted not getting them on sale last year so will definitely try to snag a pair this Black Friday.” — Jackie Goldstein, VP Commerce

“I bought a Roomba vacuum the moment I became a homeowner and it is a godsend. I love not having to worry about vacuuming around my house especially with a busy schedule and a rambunctious poodle.

This year I have decided to upgrade to the s9+ model because it has a clean base that allows it to self empty for up to 60 days. I also decided to splurge and get the bundle that comes with the mop so I truly never have to think about cleaning my floors again.” — Danica Daniel, features entertainment editor / writer

“I’m about to be a homeowner – or townhouse owner – and with that right of passage comes the purchase of a smart doorbell so I can watch my Amazon packages get delivered in real-time. So, I’m going with this Eufy battery-powered doorbell that is HOA-approved.” — Zac Croce, senior SEO manager

“I’ve had my eye on this staple trench coat from Abercrombie. Each of the three shades are so perfect to take me from fall through the spring that I might have to snag one of each.” — Meaghan Roche, SEO manager

“Who said shopping for toasters is boring? Yes, it’s an age-old appliance, but there’s no better time to upgrade than during Target’s Black Friday sale.

There are tons of options out there, but I don’t want a one-trick pony, so I’m looking at Gourmia’s Digital Stainless Steel model. It basically does everything but jump. It can air fry, broil, reheat, proof, dehydrate, plus it has a setting for cookies — what more could you want?” — Jake Becker, Director of SEO

“A few years back I discovered Tatcha from a Sephora sample, and I immediately understood why it has cult status. I find Tatcha’s face wash and moisturizers to be perfect for my skin.

It’s light, but still takes care of business. Tatcha doesn’t have sales too frequently so I always stock up a few times a year when they do.” — Jackie Goldstein, VP Commerce

This weekend, Tatcha is 20% off.

“Strength isn’t a gift, it’s earned but this might be the greatest gift I will ever give myself. I used to love going to the gym for four to six days, but since the pandemic, I just haven’t felt it was safe enough to return. Enter the Tonal.

This gorgeous strength-training machine is sleek and it’s like having a personal trainer on my wall. It’s expensive but it will pay for itself considering it will replace my gym membership. It truly is the smartest home gym and, if it’s good enough for Lebron James, then it’s good enough for me.” — Danica Daniel, features entertainment editor / writer

“After writing about Sur La Table’s Black Friday offerings, I immediately called my dad to add this to his shopping cart for my mom ($800 off!). Not only is it chic but it’s the only quality cookware set you’ll need (which is a blessing; there are so many random lids in my cabinet and it’s driving me nuts).” — Victoria Giardina, commerce reporter

“Maybe this makes me a lush, but I love fun new cocktails, especially during the holidays. Both Haus and JuneShine are having Black Friday sales, making it the perfect time to stock up before Christmas and New Year’s Eve gatherings.

My favorite Haus flavor is the Grapefruit Jalapeño and JuneShine has a brand new Prickly Pear Margarita that is amazing.” — Sophie Cannon, commerce reporter

“As you can probably tell, I love all things pink, and that’s what makes this Yeti rambler all the better. They are currently offering limited edition colors and products for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and I couldn’t be more excited about this Ice Pink tumbler.” — Ruby McAuliffe, commerce reporter

“While I already own three of these Revlon Air Brushes (and love them!), I always like to buy a couple on Black Friday every year to give to friends and family on Christmas.” — Camryn La Sala, commerce reporter/editor

“Black Friday means it’s time to buy a new pair of the running shoes that I don’t actually wear to run. For the third year in a row, I’m opting for New Balance Fresh Foam 860s that offer the perfect balance of comfort and support.” — Zac Croce, senior SEO manager

“Since Black Friday is the start of the season of giving, I had to share the top gift I’m hoping to score. This classic black bomber jacket from Cuts for my boyfriend. It’s a timeless piece that I know he’ll wear forever, and with Cuts quality I know it’ll last, too.” — Meaghan Roche, SEO manager

“Name a better duo — I’ll wait. Seriously, OUAI’s Shampoo & Conditioner is great on my medium-textured hair (though it isn’t suNper fine). And, it’s the only shampoo that has trained my hair to sit fresh and pretty for three days before another wash. Plus, it smells so clean and is a true score to pick up during the brand’s 20% off sitewide sale.” — Victoria Giardina, commerce reporter

“Last year I finally broke down and got a pair of Apple AirPods Pro and couldn’t be happier. I used to be a wired headphone girl, but the noise-canceling ability of these bad boys has made working from home with pets, neighbors and roommates so much easier. Plus, music sounds pretty great through them, too.” — Sophie Cannon, commerce reporter

“I already own almost everything Babe Lash has to offer, including two tubes of their seriously magical lash serum, but with a 25% off discount and a free 2ml Essential Serum with a $225 purchase, now’s the time to restock. So don’t mind me as I add to cart.” — Ruby McAuliffe, commerce reporter

“Caffeine junkies and tea lovers, listen up. I am obsessed with this coffee maker and just found out it is now on sale for $50 off at Target. It does everything from regular drip to specialty coffee, has an iced coffee setting and a hot water dispenser, and best of all it comes with a frothing attachment to really jazz up your morning Joe.” — Sophie Cannon, commerce reporter

“Truthfully, I would love to meet the founder of Papier because all of the brand’s agendas, journals and notebooks make my heart too happy. As a big fan of the daily planner, wellness journal and gratitude journal, I had to try the recipe journal to chronicle all my family’s homemade Italian recipes.

Not only do any Papier products make a perfect gift (especially for the type A, organized type like myself), but you’ll receive 20% off sitewide until Cyber Monday.” — Victoria Giardina, commerce reporter

“I’ve had my eye on these embroidered kicks for a while, and they are now 30% off with code HOLIDAY30. Score! I mean, look at that detailing. And if you’ve met me in person, you know little me is all about that 1-inch platform.” — Ruby McAuliffe, commerce reporter
