While Black Friday might not officially start for a few more hours, a handful of sales are already live. So rather than heading to the mall the moment Thanksgiving dinner ends, I will be unbuttoning my pants, cozying up on the couch, and doing that shopping online.

I found the 100 best Black Friday deals you can shop on Thanksgiving, so that your Friday off can be filled with a little more resting that stressing. I narrowed it down to the products InStyle editors have tested and loved, brands celebrities swear by, and best-selling items shoppers approve of. Below, shop the top Black Friday deals to grab on Thanksgiving, including Levi’s jeans, Coach bags, Apple Airpods, and Dyson vacuums, from just $8.

Best Black Friday Deals Overall: Ugg, Coach, Levi’s, and More

Some of the best Black Friday deals are on Levi’s jeans, Dyson hair tools, Coach bags, and Apple headphones. Levi’s Classic Bootcut Jeans are among this weekend’s best deals—the leg-elongating style is on sale for just $28 at Amazon. Ugg’s popular boots are on rare sale at Nordstrom Rack, where you can grab them for $110 during Black Friday. At Madewell, you can take 40 percent off almost everything, including this never-discounted cashmere sweater.

Of course, there are great deals on almost everything at Amazon, too; Advanced Clinicals’s retinol body lotion is just $14, the Dyson Airwrap is $100 off, and Apple AirPods Pro 2 headphones are 38 percent off.

Best Black Friday Clothing Deals: J.Crew, Nordstrom, Zara, Spanx

There are Thanksgiving sales at some of our most-trusted retailers for clothing, including J.Crew, Nordstrom, Zara, and Spanx. I prioritized finding winter staples—like coats, sweaters, and holiday dresses—for less.

At J.Crew, new winter clothing (as well as the brand’s sale items) are on sale. At Nordstrom, more than 46,000 items are marked down, including this winter coat from Lauren Ralph Lauren. And at Spanx, everything is 30 percent off, including flattering jeans and shapewear. I also found sales at Reformation, Everlane, Madewell, Anthropologie, Gap, and Athleta. Below, shop clothing deals from each brand, with prices starting at $23.

J.Crew Rollneck Sweater

J.Crew’s famous rollneck sweater is 55 percent for Black Friday. The always-in knit has been around since the ‘80s, so you can count on it getting years of wear. I’m eyeing it in red, but it’s also available in five other colors.

Lauren Ralph Lauren Faux Shearling Jacket

At Nordstrom, Lauren Ralph Lauren’s winter jacket is $100 off. The suede-like style has a faux shearling trim; it’s the perfect mix of cozy and chic.

Zara Midi Swing Dress

This elegant swing dress from Zara is a no-brainer while it’s on sale for just $46. That red is perfect for the holiday parties. And while I love the flow and draping of this dress, you can always cinch the waist with a thin black belt.

Spanx Flare Jeans

Everything at Spanx is 30 percent off, including these leg-elongating flare jeans. The brand’s stretchy, pull-on jeans are a favorite of InStyle editors, who swear that they offer hold and lift while being incredibly comfortable.

Best Black Friday Shoe Deals: Nordstrom Rack, Zappos, Amazon

When it comes to shoes, it was important to find deals on fall and winter’s trendiest and most practical styles, and I managed to find everything from boots to celebrity-worn sneaker brands on sale. Nordstrom Rack, Zappos, and Amazon are among the best places to shop Black Friday shoe deals; there are deals on Ugg slippers, Tory Burch mules, and sneakers from Adidas and Brooks. But I also found great markdowns at J.Crew, Free People, Rothy’s, and Margaux.

Ugg Classic Slippers

Ugg’s cozy slippers and boots rarely go on sale, but at Nordstrom Rack, I found this gray pair for 40 percent off. The slide-on shoes make a great winter and house shoe, and, while they’re a wonderful treat to yourself, they also make for a great holiday gift.

Adidas Vl Court 3.0 Sneakers

At Amazon, you can grab Adidas’s VI Court 3.0 sneakers for $56. The low-top sneakers look nearly identical to the brand’s cool-girl Sambas, which have been worn by Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lawrence, but are about half the price.

Reaction Kenneth Cole Anabelle Boot

Knee-high boots are a late-fall and winter must-have, and this pair from Reaction Kenneth Cole is currently 61 percent off at Nordstrom Rack. They’re available in black and chocolate brown, and come with a stretchy back panel. As someone with wider calves, that’s a detail I will always appreciate.

J.Crew Satin Slingback Pearl-Adorned Heels

These satin slingbacks from J.Crew are my current obsession. Each one is finished with a small pearl detail that makes the classic shoes feel really special—and, IMO, even more elegant.

Best Black Friday Bag Deals: Coach Outlet, Kate Spade Outlet, Cuyana

Black Friday bag deals can be found at Coach Outlet and Kate Spade Outlet, where both of the retailer’s already marked down handbags are now an extra 25 percent off. Cuyana, the brand celebrities like Meghan Markle wear, is offering up to 25 percent off sitewide. And while those are some of the standout deals, I also found savings on Tory Burch, Staud, Mansur Gavriel, and JW Pei bags.

Kate Spade Outlet Madison Willow Mini Flap Crossbody Bag

At Kate Spade Outlet, already-marked down bags are now an extra 25 percent off, making the Madison crossbody just $64. This leather bag features a chic chain detail and is available in 10 colors, including black, olive green, and this classic acorn brown.

Coach Outlet City Tote Bag

Coach Outlet also dropped a double-discount sale for Black Friday, offering an extra 25 percent off sitewide. The City Tote is versatile, spacious, and loved by more than 1,800 shoppers.

Coach Outlet Georgia Satchel Bag

But of all Coach Outlet’s double-discounted bags, this red satchel is my favorite. I love the pairing of that bold color with the shiny patent leather; it’s the perfect pop-of-color statement bag.

Best Black Friday Beauty Deals: Dermstore, Tatcha, Merit

Whether you’re looking for new skin care products or editor and celebrity-approved makeup, there are Black Friday beauty sales that will have you covered. At Dermstore, you can save on thousands of items across brands including Sunday Riley, Elemis, and Elta MD with the code JOY. Tatcha’s skin care is all 25 percent off, and Merit has launched its only sale of the year, with 20 percent off everything from Martha Stewart’s go-to foundation to its very giftable Five Minute Morning Set.

But if you’re in the market for those budget beauty finds, I also found a $9 concealer, $12 mascara, and $23 retinol serum at Amazon.

Tatcha the Dewy Skin Cream

Everything at Tatcha is 25 percent for Black Friday, including the brand’s Dewy Skin Cream. This plumping moisturizer has thousands of fans, one of whom called the cream a “magic elixir.” “Even when I’m dehydrated, tired, or generally lacking in luster, it makes my skin look radiant,” she raved.

Merit the Minimalist Foundation Stick

Merit’s Minimalist Foundation Stick is a go-to for a handful of InStyle beauty editors and is even Martha Stewart-approved. The creamy, easy to apply foundation only goes on sale this one time every year, so make sure to grab it while it’s 20 percent off.

Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment

Oprah, Hellen Mirren, and beauty editors swear by Sunday Riley’s skin-plumping Good Genes serum, which is 30 percent off at Dermstore with the code JOY.

Laura Geller Spackle Primer Hydrate

Primers are a makeup artist’s secret to long-lasting, photo-ready makeup. This particular one from Laura Geller (which is aptly named Spackle Primer) acts like spackle on a wall: it smooths over textured spots to create an even canvas that allows everything else to apply better. The best part is that it’s lightweight and nongreasy, so you hardly know you’re wearing it. Plus, it features hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to nourish the skin during use.

Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40

Supergoop is the best in the biz when it comes to sunscreen you’ll actually want to wear. The complete opposite of the chalky, white-cast-causing SPFs of yesteryear, Glowscreen is a skin-loving sunscreen that protects from the sun’s harmful rays and blue light while addressing dryness and dullness with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and niacinamide. Plus, as the name suggests, it imparts a gorgeous glow that wears beautifully on its own or underneath makeup.

Best Hair Care Deals: T3, Oribe, Augustinus Bader

There are deals on Amal Clooney-used hair tool brands, hair regrowth shampoos and serums, and plenty of shopper-favorites this Thanksgiving. Below, shop deals on Oribe’s Gold Lust line, Augustines Bader’s shampoo, Act + Acre’s anti-thinning serum, and even an $18 thickening spray that you can pick up at Amazon.

Augustinus Bader the Shampoo

Sharon Stone said that this shampoo from Augustinus Bader “grew back” her lost hair, and our beauty editors swear by it for frizz-free, sleek strands. It rarely goes on sale, so I’m grabbing it while it’s 25 percent off at Dermstore with the code JOY.

Oribe Gold Lust Restore and Repair Conditioner

Oribe’s entire Gold Lust line is 20 percent off (the discount is applied in cart), so I’m restocking on its Restore and Repair Conditioner while it’s on rare sale. This is my all-time favorite conditioner; after bleaching my hair, it actually made my damaged strands so much softer and more manageable. Plus, it smells amazing.

L’Ange Hair Le Volume Blow Drying Brush

L’Ange’s Hair Le Volume blow drying brush is an Amazon best-seller (and personal favorite)—and during the retailer’s Black Friday sale, it’s 59 percent off.

Act + Acre Stem Cell Scalp Serum

If you’re dealing with hair loss, consider grabbing Act + Acre’s Stem Cell Scalp Serum while it’s 25 percent off. Fans of this report that they’ve seen new hair growth in as little as two months, and a mother called it a must-have for anyone dealing with postpartum hair loss.

Best Black Friday Tech Deals: Apple, Bose, Target

Unspiringly, some of the biggest tech savings can be found at Amazon and Target. Plenty of Apple’s most popular items are marked down, including the wireless AirPods Max headphones, AirTag—now just $24—and the Apple Watch SE. There are also deals on Bose headphones, a Roku TV, and Ring’s doorbell camera.

Apple AirPods Max Wireless Headphones

I managed to score a deal on Apple’s AirPods Max headphones a while back and haven’t regretted it once. In my experience, the battery on these lasts much longer than on the brand’s in-each headphones, and the sound and noise cancellation are both superb. If you’re also someone who sometimes works from a noisy coffee shop, these are a must-have, especially while they’re just $399.

Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones

If you’re looking for something comparable but a little more affordable, consider Bose’s QuietComfort bluetooth headphones, which are on sale for $199 at Amazon.

Ring Battery Doorbell

Never miss a package or a guest with Ring’s battery-powered doorbell, which is 40 percent off during Target’s blowout Black Friday sale.

Best Black Friday Deals Under $50: Banana Republic, Anthropologie, Amazon

While I typically use Black Friday sales to grab those big-ticket items for less, there are a handful of under-$50 deals. Banana Republic’s factory store just marked all of its already affordable staples down by an extra 20 percent, making this sweater just $20. Anthropologie’s sale items are an extra 40 percent off—you can find fashion, home items, and great gifts—and at Amazon, cozy sweatshirts and shoes start at just $9.

Banana Republic Factory Cozy Pullover Sweater

You can find plenty of under-$50 deals at Banana Republic’s factory store now that the retailer’s already-marked down items are an extra 20 percent off. The one I’m grabbing stat? This this classic crewneck sweater, which is available in 10 colors.

Dr. Scholl’s Louis Iconic Clog Mule

One of the most affordable pairs of shoes I’ve found while searching through Black Friday sales are Dr. Scholl’s Louis clogs. These look nearly identical to pricier alternatives, but are just $45 now.

Neutrogena Rapid Repair Retinol Face Moisturizer

Amazon is also a great place to find under-$50 skincare deals. Shoppers swear by this retinol-packed face moisturizer from Neutrogena for smoothing fine lines and fading dark spots.
