It feels like I’ve already spent a month talking about Black Friday sales – a hazard of the trade. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by choice, Carted is a shopper’s dream – the app lets you save items into wishlists and keep an eye on discounts. Alternatively, I’ve done the hard yards for you and pulled out some of the best deals around to get shopping before they finish up today.
• This blue and white checked towel from Bed Threads is currently 20 per cent off – use it in your bathroom or at the beach.
• Cult beauty label Merit not only ships to Australia now, they’re also offering a rare 20 per cent off sitewide. The The Minimalist Perfecting complexion stick and Flush cheek balm are a couple of products on Broadsheet editors’ wishlists.
• When I stumbled on this pair of Prada sunglasses in The Iconic sale, I immediately stopped scrolling. The classic black cat-eye silhouette is a no-brainer – and currently 30 per cent off.
• Okay but then I saw this pair of sunglasses from Prada also in the sale. Choices, choices.
• If you’re a sucker for a good pair of cream pants, this straight-leg linen style from Aere is worth wishlisting at $72.
• Finding a clutch for summer events is always such a chore. This resin statement style from Scandinavian label Stine Goya is a chic pick.
• Simone Perele’s bras are a constant in my top drawer. This sky blue lace embroidered style is a feminine half-cup option – and is currently half-price.
• Mejuri is offering 25 per cent off everything when you spend $150. A great excuse to add the sculptural Dome figure ring to your stack. This slim-fit signet ring and the cult Charlotte band are also great choices.
• I’m forever in pursuit of the perfect pair of trans-seasonal jeans. The Bianca silhouette from Jag is currently 25 per cent off in the classic black hue.
• Keep your pout picture ready with this Clarins lip oil. It’s often listed as a beauty editor favourite – four shades are 20 per cent off.
• When you see Ultra Violette on sale, you buy it. Pop the Preen Screen reapplication mist in your bag and never forget to slip, slop, slap.
• Matteau is a mastermind when it comes to summer dresses. This off-the-shoulder style makes a case for the long black dress – the cost per wear on this piece will be negligible before winter comes.
• If I didn’t live in a one-bedroom apartment with no outdoor space, I would be investing in an Ooni this summer. Although, the Fyra 12 only weighs 10 kilograms, so maybe a park pizza party isn’t out of the question.
• Get a jumpstart on your 2024 fitness resolutions with a pair of Bondi 8 runners from Hoka.
• I’m a wash-and-wear kind of hair girl. But that doesn’t mean I don’t think about being a Dyson Airwrap girl on the daily. The new strawberry bronze and blush pink colourway is currently on sale for $100 off – that’s pretty much the same price as one blow dry per month for a year.
• For waves just as bouncy but with a lower pricetag, the GHD blowdry and brush two-in-one tool is 20 per cent off and comes with a free paddle brush.
• This striped robe from Hommey doubles as a beach towel and post-swim cover-up. It’s a summer must-have and 25 per cent off.
• I’m borderline obsessed with this face cream from Korean brand Corsx. The serum is also popular in the beauty community and Adore Beauty is offering 20 per cent off.
• Grab a silk eye mask for daytime naps (cough festive hangovers cough). The self-care queen or king in your life will also appreciate one as a Christmas present.
• Going somewhere this summer? Take this Samsonite carry-on suitcase with you – it’s reduced to $210.
• Make room on your countertop for this Delonghi Dedica Arte Manual Pump coffee machine – at $185 it’s equivalent to just over a month of $5 flat whites (and that’s being generous in this coffee climate).
• Show off your barista skills and serve your at-home brew in these coloured glass mugs from House of Nunu.
• I bought a pair of Bose over-ear noise-cancelling headphones on my way to New York this year, and I’ve never looked back. Do your future self a favour. They’re also a godsend for noisy neighbours, too.
• Make Christmas day more interesting with a little bit of friendly competition. This waterproof table tennis set from Sunnylife is an ace stocking-filler.
• Get off your phone this summer and catch memories at the beach on this reusable film camera. A good choice for hard-to-buy-for siblings this Christmas.
• A cast iron pot is the ultimate stovetop investment. Make Christmas day cooking a little easier with this sage green 5.2-litre style from Staub.
• Speaking of Christmas day, set the table with a colourful spread from In The Roundhouse. Shop 20 per cent off the entire range – this festive scalloped-edge set is a nice change of pace from classic designs.
• Get your bathroom ready for guests to think you’re extra fancy with this handwash and moisturiser duo from Aesop – spend $100 and get a $20 voucher at The Iconic. Surely I don’t need to do the girl math for you?
• Restocking your bedside table? Sydney-based sexual wellness brand Tussle is offering 25 per cent off its gentle, high quality lubricants. This water-based formulation is on the wishlist.
• This citrus-adorned aperitif glassware set from Maison Balzac makes the ultimate wedding gift. And it’s 20 per cent off this weekend.
• Salt Lab's magnesium bath salts are a self-care favourite for tired muscles. I’m stocking up while it’s 30 per cent off.
