There’s no denying that Cyber Monday is the best time of year to save big on those items you’ve been eyeing all year. But in a sea of clothing deals and beauty sales and sex toy discounts and luggage promos, it’s easy to find yourself overwhelmed with the myriad options available.
So, who can you trust to find you the best deals during Cyber Week — the ones you won’t find everywhere else on the internet (and that don’t include a single paperweight, neck tie, or other items that’ll end up getting regifted)? A group of shopping writers and editors whose whole raison d’etre is to bring folks the products we love, trust, and actually buy, of course.
That’s why we’ve compiled the deals members of the R29 shopping team are scoring for themselves this Cyber Monday, from top-rated clothing and accessories to travel must-haves, each deeply discounted right now.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

“I’ve been eyeing the Silvana bag from Reformation since it was released and love the classic shape, interesting construction, and black suede fabric. The larger size looks like it would be a great everyday work bag, but I’m drawn towards the smaller version for dinners and nights out.” — Kate Spencer, Sr. Affiliate Strategist

“As the resident luggage-tester on the Most Wanted shopping team, I’ve taken quite a number of suitcases out on a spin this year, but Carl Friedrik’s carry-on is still top of the class for me. The dark gray polycarbonate shell and Italian leather details are just so aesthetically pleasing — it is the go-to luggage in Succession, after all — and is sure to be a compliment magnet for anyone who receives this as a gift. The brand is offering 30% off sitewide (its only sale event of the whole year), and I will be using this opportunity to get my dad the super-suave Carry-On Pro, which comes with a front laptop sleeve.” — Venus Wong, Senior Travel Writer

“I’ve been known to gift my friends and fam a sex toy or two during the holidays. And without fail, every time I gift the Satisfyer Pro 2, I change someone’s life. The clitoral vibe has gone viral on Amazon for its ridiculously effusive reviews (someone said it could make them ‘smell numbers and taste colors’), but it’s currently under $20 on PinkCherry — a price so low that I’m going to be grabbing one for everyone on my shopping list this weekend.” — Charlotte Lewis, Sexual Health & Wellness Writer

“As someone who chemically straightens my hair, blow-dries it, and flat irons it (I know, I know), I’m about three seconds from involuntarily having Weird Barbie’s chopped-and-broken ‘do at any minute. And while I’m reluctant to give up my heat styling, I am, at the very least, responsible enough to use decent products on and around my hair. This Black Friday, I’m scoring one of Clementine Sleepwear’s Hair Reset bundles (which comes with a pillowcase, hair bonnet, and scrunchie) for myself to (hopefully) protect my hair from further damage. I already have one of the brand’s oversized mulberry silk scrunchies, which I wear constantly around the house and is one of the few hair ties I’ve found that not only accommodates my extremely thick hair but also manages not to get tangled in it or break it.” — Sarah Crow, Affiliate Director

“You’ve likely seen this Anthropologie mug in a number of R29 stories (I know myself and Affiliate Fashion Editor Vivien Lee each have and adore our ‘V’ mugs) so I couldn’t help but drop it here too. I’ve carted up a whopping six of these mugs to gift to several of my cousins. With Anthropologie’s Black Friday Sale, they each came to under $10, so they’re a real steal and will make the perfect gift on their own — or as a gift set with some lip glosses, a gift card, or whatever other mini goodies can fit inside.” — Victoria Montalti, Associate Affiliate Writer

“My mom and I took a hiking trip out west earlier this month, and she basically stole my Girlfriend Collective backpack for the whole week. I basically only wear GC workout gear, so its 30% off Black Friday sale is one I always use to pick up some bras and leggings, but I’ll definitely also add this backpack at 60% off as a thank you for the trip — and a reminder to bring her own next time.” — Marshall Bright, Affiliate Editor
Girlfriend Collective Thorn Please Recycle Backpack, $, available at Girlfriend Collective
“Guys, I did it: I found the perfect bralette for large-ish boobs, and have one Kimberly Noel Kardashian to thank. I already own a nude colorway of this shaping bralette, but will be buying at least two more while they’re on sale for Black Friday. They are supportive, smoothing, and truly invisible under clothing — all while not sacrificing comfort. Buy now, thank me later.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

“My boyfriend is a major sneakerhead, which means two things: 1. He’s always asking for new sneakers as a gift on special occasions. 2. He already has every pair of sneakers made by every major athleticwear brand before I even learn they exist. This year, I plan to pick him up a pair of these embroidered high-tops, which feel a bit more elevated than your average sneaker and are currently $88.50 off their list price for Black Friday.” — Sarah

“Madewell denim is highly-coveted for a reason. They’re so comfortable, come in 100 different washes and fits, and are long-lasting. I’m stocking up on my personal favorite cut (The Perfect Vintage Jean) while they’re 50% off — a literal steal.” — Charlotte

“I already own the black version of this one-shoulder dress, and it has been a favorite for formal occasions where I want to look put-together but still be comfortable. Pact’s organic cotton is famously soft and breathable, with the perfect amount of stretch that is extra accommodating to holiday feasting. I normally don’t even go for the one-shoulder silhouette, but this dress comes with a built-in shelf bra that eliminates the stress of finding the suitable undergarment. It’s as comfortable as wearing a T-shirt, but you’re dressed up enough for a black-tie event. I will be bagging up the green floral colorway (now 25% off) for a more festive look this time.” — Venus

“NYC kitchens are not known for their storage space, so I’m a huge fan of any multi-functional kitchen appliance that can replace my bulky pots and pans. I have been debating purchasing this Instant Pot for months but couldn’t quite justify the price — but at half off, I think it’s finally time. My SIL’s big tip is to get an air fryer lid for the InstantPot (didn’t even know that was a thing!) to add another function to it.” — Charlotte

“I got this cleansing balm in a beauty subscription box and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. There are definitely plenty of budget-friendly cleansing balms out there, but this has the most luxurious texture and positively melts whatever is on your face. My skin is getting dry and irritated from the drop in temperature, so the Black Friday sale seems like the perfect time to indulge.” — Marshall

“I own (and love) this M.Gemi bag in Ecru and, on most weekends, it’s the only thing standing between me and accidentally tearing my arm off with a purse the size of a small car. The company is offering up to 60% off everything for Black Friday (knocking the price of this beauty down a solid $80), so I’m getting one in silver for my best friend of 20-plus years whose birthday falls one day before Thanksgiving this year and often gets forgotten among the holiday festivities.” — Sarah

“I don’t know what happens to all my beanies every time winter rolls around, but somehow I never have enough. Combine the need for new winter hats with my obsession with how unbelievably soft Madewell’s everything is and its current Black Friday promo, and you get this no-brainer shopping choice. Everything I’ve ever bought from Madewell I’ve worn to death, so any and all savings is appreciated.” — Mercedes Viera, Associate Deals Writer

“I have been known to make actual gurgles of pleasure when I slip into my Brooklinen sheets. We have two sets, but I have been thinking it might be time to invest in an extra one for the guest room and days when I realize I really want clean sheets but am behind on laundry. As a side note, the brand’s lifetime guarantee is also legit — I got a fitted sheet replaced no questions asked when a tear appeared earlier this year.” — Marshall

“This is one of R29 readers’ favorite oral sex toys, and it rarely goes on sale. That’s why I am running to grab the oral-simulating vibe while it’s marked down this weekend. With a touch of LELO’s personal moisturizer (my fav lube), I am ready to experience some extra TLC” — Charlotte

“Black Friday can be approached one of two ways: Either it can be the time to load up on all your go-tos when they’re marked down, or you can use it to buy luxury items that you’d never pay full-price for. I’ve scooped up the Rich Cream from Augustinus Bader on sale before, and I hate to report it very much lives up to the hype. And don’t we all deserve an end-of-year treat? As someone with acne-prone but sometimes dry (thanks to prescription retinol) skin, it also is hard for me to find a nourishing cream that won’t irritate or break me out. This does all that and more, and leaves me with a glow that once made my sister ask, ‘Are you already wearing make-up?’ first thing in the morning.” — Marshall

“According to our anonymous shopping data, the glorious rose gold Stevyn Duffel is a certified R29 reader favorite. Since I gaze at its sleek design and nifty compartments at least once a week for work, I figured I’d finally just add it to my cart while it’s on sale for Black Friday. Plus, it gives me a reason to book a weekend getaway..” — Alexandra Polk, Lifestyle Writer

“Is there anything more chic than a dress with feathers? This shift dress from J.Crew feels so easy to style for any season — it’s perfect for wearing with tights, ankle booties, and a cropped jacket in the fall and winter but would also be adorable for a spring cocktail party for anyone who commits to an all-black look all year (fashion goths, unite!). And at 50% off? I mean, it’s practically asking me to buy it.” — Sarah

“I am SO excited to finally purchase a Kindle. I’m an avid reader and love physical books, but carrying around a 500-page novel is sometimes not conducive to city living. As soon as I read Mercedes’ Paperwhite review, I knew I needed to bookmark that Amazon page and make my move on BFCM.” — Kate

“To me, having Le Creuset cookware is basically like hanging a sign up in your kitchen that says, ‘I made it! And I have great taste, too!’ Its enameled cast iron pieces last forever, are gorgeous, and can go straight from the oven or stovetop to the table. And, at 47% off right now, you can bet I’ll be serving next year’s Thanksgiving sides out of this beauty.” — Sarah

“I’ve never owned a pair of wireless or noise-canceling headphones, but I’ve been thinking of buying a pair for a while now. They will not only help my productivity while working in the office but will also keep me a little more relaxed during anxious holiday travel. At 50% off, I think now’s the time to add to cart.” — Kate

“With the chilly weather comes freezing feet. Being from Puerto Rico, I’m not at all used to the cold weather yet so I need all the warmth I can get, even inside my apartment. I’ve always wanted to try UGGs, so what better time to add to cart than right now with this Nordstrom promo?” — Mercedes

“I have a big little obsession with tarot cards. If you’ve read my articles or know me IRL, then you know this. I do not need any more tarot decks. But does that stop me from buying them? Of course not. Besides, this one is different — it’s genderless! Traditional decks have queens, kings, pages, and knights with their very gendered meanings. It can be confusing to read and interpret those cards when the person you’re reading to is non-binary. This deck replaces all of those with gender-neutral cards. Where has this deck been all my life?!” — Mercedes Viera, Associate Deals Writer

“Ever since I saw celebs style the Cult Gaia Hera Nano Shoulder Bag during NYFW, I was obsessed. I immediately thought the bedazzled mini bag would be the crème de la crème to any holiday soirée look, especially for NYE — which is also my birthday. Hence, with the excuse that my birthday is coming up, I’ll add it to my checkout and ponder if I should buy it as an early B-day treat. Plus, it’s on sale for 25%! — Vivien

“Will I ever shut up about this laundry detergent? Nope, not anytime soon. It’s the origin of my love for DedCool’s scent Milk, after all. I’ve officially run out of the Dedtergent, and that means I simply have to repurchase. And, at nearly a third off, there’s mo better time.”— Mercedes

“I recently got my ears re-pierced after years of not wearing anything. That means I have to keep earrings in all the time, just like the first go-round when I was 15. And how did I sleep back then with those little posts poking me in the back of the neck? Thankfully, this go-round, I’ve discovered Studs’ flat-back earrings, which can be left in all the time. They’re already a pretty reasonable price for the quality, but I need to fully restock my collection since it hasn’t been touched in about 10 years, and 30% off sitewide is the perfect excuse to do just that.” — Marshall

“One of my favorite Megan Thee Stallion songs is God’s Favorite. I discovered it this summer and have since been living with a “God’s Favorite” mentality — so it would be a crime to ignore this bold baguette bag casually sitting on SSENSE’s site for 20% off.

And while that’s really all it takes for me to want a product (guilty!), the reviews on this suction toy AND the fact that it’s sold out numerous times means I’m even more intrigued.

“Last Black Friday, I decided to stock up in a big way on Dropps, makers of the OG detergent pods. I’d already been using its products for a while, but the sitewide sale seemed like the perfect time to stock up. It was the least sexy thing I could have bought but turned out to be something I appreciated all year. I stocked up on the laundry pods, oxi pods, and dish detergent pods and never bought them once all year. I have to admit I’m not exactly concerned about “clean” products for home or beauty, but I do consciously seek out brands that reduce or eliminate plastic, and Dropps cardboard packaging can be recycled or composted, which is a plus. And I also love it when my household basics, like detergent, are free of bells and whistles. I don’t want smells or weird bells and whistles, I just want something that works, and Dropps does that.” — Marshall Bright, Freelance Affiliate Editor
