This year, brands did us a favor and released Black Friday deals early. That means we have a little more time to buy everything for less. Now, you can shop at your own pace (but not too much) and mark items off your list one by one. It’s also better to get ahead of popular brands and products, like Hoka shoes, Lululemon belt bags and Le Creuset Dutch ovens, since sizes and colors sell out quickly.

Best Black Friday Deals on Walking and Running Shoes
Now is the time to shop for Hoka’s walking and Brooks’ running shoes, because they tend to sell out quickly. Once a pair is gone, you’d be hard-pressed to find it again in the right color, size and price. These would make great gifts for yourself or a loved one. Grab a pair before it’s too late.

Hoka Gaviota 5 Shoe
Hoka
I bought these shoes for my partner because they have increased cushioning and structure to prevent overpronation. These shoes are comfortable and impact-absorbing, and now I never see his heels roll in anymore, and he never complains about foot pain after our long walks. I grabbed them months ago at full price, and I wish I had waited until now!
Brooks Revel 7 Neutral Running Shoe
Amazon
This is an excellent price for a Brooks running shoe. The Revel 7 is as neutral as it gets thanks to its middle-of-the-road cushion and moderate support. It’s the pair you grab when you want something straightforward and reliable.

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag, 1-Liter, Knit Mesh
lululemon
The Lululemon belt bag is so popular. I’m genuinely shocked it’s even available to buy for less right now. In its “We Made Too Much” section, the overstock perk means you can grab it for $9 less, and cash in on all of its perks. The compact size with built-in pockets will fit everything like credit cards, snacks, gym cards, lip balm and more.
Lululemon Define Jacket, Nulu
lululemon
‘Tis the season for layers, and this Lululemon Define jacket was designed to go wherever you need it to, whether you’re running errands or walking your local hiking trail. Zip it up or down, use the pockets or keep it lightweight—you make the rules.

Best Black Friday Deals on Appliances
Small kitchen appliances, like toaster oven air fryers and food processors, make our lives exceedingly simpler in the kitchen. I always recommend grabbing the handy gadget you’ve had your eye on now, while it’s on sale. I did that when I purchased my Breville toaster oven and haven’t looked back since.

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro
Williams Sonoma
I bought this combination toaster oven air fryer months ago in the hopes that it would make my life easier, and it did. The only gadget worth the counter space has replaced three of my appliances: the toaster, toaster oven and air fryer. It can do all of those tasks and more, including roast, bake, broil, dehydrate, proof, slow cook, reheat and keep warm. I love how easy it is to navigate, and I use it multiple times a day without a hitch.
Ninja Crispi Air Fryer, 4-in-1 Portable Cooking System
Amazon
If you’re looking for a more traditional air fryer, this Ninja Crispi has a genius design that browns your food in a glass bowl. Its base doubles as a glass container for storing, serving or transporting—it even comes in gorgeous colors, making it a fabulous gift for a loved one.

Calphalon Stainless Steel 6-Piece Cookware Set
Amazon
Ditch your toxic Teflon pans for a durable stainless steel cookware set. No pick on the market superseded the Calphalon models during our testing thanks to their perfect blend of functionality and performance. They heat well, have easy-to-use designs and hold up over time. All of that on sale? We’re sold.
Le Creuset Signature French Oven, 2.5-Quart
Williams Sonoma
Listen, I am, of course, eyeing the 8-quart Dutch oven and the Heritage round Dutch oven (on the list above), both of which are on sale, but $160 for this French oven? This piece might have an edge up! It’s the perfect addition to any collection. The tapered shape and 2.5-quart volume make this a go-to pick for sides, sauces, soups and more. I love that I can also reach for it for desserts, like cobblers and crisps, as well as braises or casseroles.
