I don’t know if you’ve noticed: Black Friday deals are here, and they’re plentiful. I’ve been rounding up the best ones in my big hub of Black Friday deals for a few weeks now, but today I’m bringing you an extra curated selection. Below are the few dozen deals that I think apply Certainly worth shopping before next week.

I started with the bestsellers so far. Strategist readers have been snapping away at all the good Nordstrom Black Friday deals — and I can’t say I blame them, because the discounts and product variety are excellent. And many more items were added yesterday, so there’s even more to choose from.

Next, I picked up the deals from my early Black Friday deals roundup that I personally think are your best yet, including a $26 cashmere hat and the just-released Amazon Kindle. And to top it all off, I looked through our archives and top guides to see if there were any discounted items, like an ultra-fluffy blanket that’s one of our top picks under $200. The result: the 25 best deals to shop now.

Update on November 23, 2024: Updated prices and checked stock for all products.

One of my top deals out of all the sales I looked at is this $26 cashmere hat from Nordstrom. It’s a great discount and can be given to just about anyone (including yourself).

Pricey, but the best deal you can find for a cashmere sweater from La Ligne.

And these all-cotton sleep shorts cost just $14.

Our favorite insulated slippers rarely go on sale, and right now they’re 30 percent off, which is about as good as you’re ever going to find them.

And here is the men’s version.

Senior editor Hilary Reid’s all-time favorite hand cream (that would make a nice gift) is 30 percent off.

Skinfix moisturizer is a favorite of beauty columnist and esthetician Rio Viera-Newton, who says the ultra-rich, peptide-packed cream is perfect for winter.

I definitely don’t need any more mugs, but I do need these wintery ones from The Six Bells’ Black Sheep sale terribly compelling.

My favorite small baking trays are 20 percent off. They won’t arrive in time for Thanksgiving, but they will arrive in time for Christmas!

Here is a candle from Maison Margiela at a price that doesn’t bring tears to my eyes.

This crazy (but very cute) lamp is only available in the red version, but that’s the one I would have chosen anyway.

Casaluna’s bath towels feel a lot more expensive than they are — and now they’re even cheaper: just $12. Beauty writer Tembe Denton-Hurst says hers are “very soft, firm, dries me pretty quickly” and washes well.

This option also looks nice if you’re looking for something more budget-friendly.

Notably, the new Paperwhite for kids has three new covers: starfish (pictured here), cyber city and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Not the nicest purchase, but you’ll be glad you got it on sale.
