Christmas is around the corner and there is never a better time to start your holiday shopping than Black Friday. It’s the perfect time to get everything you need at the lowest prices of the season, and even throw in some items for yourself. Many stores are opting for their hourly releases by dropping new products on sale leading up to the big day, but a lot of hot ticket items are on sale right now. Here are seven items you might want to add to your list.
Air Fryer
It’s 2024 so at this point, everyone and their mom should have an air fryer. There are even some people that have gone as far as having multiples so they can cook several things at once. The must-have kitchen appliance has so many benefits from its quick and easy cooking options to the many health benefits that come with using this method over frying with oil. This year marks some of the lowest prices that air fryers have reached since their initial introduction on the market back in 2010. Here’s one to check out from Amazon. It makes the perfect Christmas gift for a friend or family member that may not have one yet.
MacBook
This item on our list is a big one, seeing how Apple rarely does discounts that fall this low under the retail price. MacBooks are a great gift idea for anyone who may need a laptop for school, work, or to edit content if they are a creator. These can get a bit pricey but don’t worry, Walmart has a steal if this is something you’ve had your eye on for a while. They have a super rollback deal for a 13-inch MacBook Air for $649 with 256GB of storage. Apple’s best selling laptops typically run upwards of $1,000 so to have one under $700 with that much memory is not a bad purchase.
Beis Luggage
If you’re looking for a new set of luggage, you might be in luck if you’re quick, as Beis is having their annual Black Friday sale. Shay Mitchell’s highly successful brand of travel bags and accessories rarely does big discounts, but as an early Black Friday sale, she is giving customers 25% off. But that’s not all, as there are still bigger discounts to come the day after Thanksgiving that are still a mystery. The company’s sale is so popular that Mitchell has implemented a sorting system that will randomly move buyers through a queue (Adidas adopted a similar system for their hyped Yeezys during their prime). If you don’t want to wait for the chaos of the online waiting game, snatch your items now with the 25% off and roll through the airport in style (the girlies know a Beis luggage when we see it).
Instant Pot
Just as we mentioned the need for an air fryer earlier, an Instant Pot is also a need. We’ve all used a crock pot to simmer a delicious dinner for 6-8 hours and waited patiently as our food was being slowly prepared. Imagine that same, slow cooked tender quality but in a fourth of the time? Instant Pots are fantastic for pressure cooking a meal that would typically take hours in just under an hour to an hour and a half. This is perfect for parents who have their hands full and need something quick after picking the kids up from school or fitness folks who want to meal prep in record time. There was a point in time where these were hard to come back and sported a hefty price tag. Amazon has your back with one for $69.99, so if you don’t have one, there’s no better time than now.
Keurig
Now I personally already have one of these, but for this low price and how compact it is, I want another. Walmart has an Express Single Serve Keurig for $29.88 in several different colors to match any kitchen or coffee bar. This is the perfect gift for a college student or for your office if you work from home and don’t want to make that trip to the kitchen for a refill on your cup of Joe. The price is so affordable that it’ll be a great purchase for a White Elephant exchange or Secret Santa.
Dyson Vacuum
For all the clean queens out there, a bomb vacuum is a necessity to get the deepest clean. Dyson has their Digital Slim vacuum on sale for 50% bringing the price down to $249.99, with hefty discounts on the rest of their line up as well. It’s one of the most popular cleaning tools for a reason, as they are heavy duty and extremely powerful. If you know anything about this brand, you know how pricey they can be so Black Friday is the best time to knock out one of these bad boys if it’s been sitting in your cart all year! Now if only there was a fire sale on their Dyson Airwrap.
TV
You can never go wrong with a new TV as technology is always advancing and people somehow always want it to be bigger. Whether your husband has been hinting at one for his man cave or you want a mini one for your kitchen, TVs are always a hot ticket item when it comes to Black Friday because there are so many options at a variety of price points. After scouring the internet, one of the best deals is Best Buy’s Hisense 65 inch QLED Smart TV for $349.99. For that price and size, it’s only a matter of time before it sells out as that’s an extremely competitive figure for all the boxes you’re checking off.
