Black Friday and Cyber Monday is a jolly good time to treat yourself and those on your holiday gift list, but it’s easy to get markdown fatigue. BFCM shopping can be so overwhelming — with countless sales to sort through, it can be easy to overspend on things you don’t need, or give into sales that aren’t actually that good.
All deals are not created equal, so we sifted through the noise to bring you 13 worth-it Black Friday 2024 sales from brands we love across fashion, beauty and home that pack major value *and* style.
A Bronze Age
Shop Here
The item: A Bronze Age Halo bag
The price: $108.50
The deal: Save 30%
In an effort to ward off post BFCM-regret, we like to limit our spending to sales that meet one or more of the following criteria: holiday gift shopping, items that have long been on our wish lists, and independent brands that rarely go on sale. A Bronze Age, beloved for its charming satin handbags, meets all three. We’re eyeing their classic scrunchie purse in an on-trend olive green or this precious bow-topped evening bag that screams “festive season.” The Vancouver-based brand, which is committed to local manufacturing and “slow fashion” (most items are made to order in an effort to limit waste), is taking 20-to-30% off their entire site until December 1.
Amika
Shop Here
The item: Amika Blowout Babe Thermal Round Brush
The price: $97.30
The deal: Save 30%
You can’t scroll TikTok these days without a glossy-haired creator giving you a tutorial on how to use a thermal blowout brush. Used on dry hair, these round-barrel brushes use far-infrared heat to smooth and style in half the time of conventional heat, thus reducing the risk of damage. (Bonus: They’re quiet like a curling iron — no jet engine blowout sounds here.) Amika’s iteration, with its lightweight construction and heat-resistant handle, is part of the buzzy brand’s BFCM sale that knocks 30% off orders of $100 or more. And from now until Dec. 2, if you spend more than $150, you’ll snag a free hair care set that includes Reset Cleansing Oil, Flash Instant Shine Mask, The Wizard Detangling Primer, three claw clips, a detangling brush and an Amika-print bag. Good hair days, right this way.
Frank And Oak
Shop Here
The item: Frank And Oak The Check Fuzzy Scarf in Bottle Green
The price: $46.99
The deal: Save 40%
Sure, you might have an overflowing bin of scarves, mitts and gloves that you haul out slightly bitterly every November, but do you have an oversized plaid scarf spun in a variety of verdant shades? This fuzzy accessory, made from recycled fibres, will surely be one of the hardest working in your collection come winter and at 40% off, the cost per wear will be next to nothing (thanks, Canadian winter!). If you’re looking for a restock on well-made basics, or hunting down a stylish yet unintimidating gift for the dudes on your list, the entire site is 40% off until Nov. 30
Kara Yoo
Shop Here
The item: Kara Yoo Dorothy earrings
The price: $182
The deal: Save 30%
What better time of year than soirée season to stock up on pretty accessories like whimsical bow earrings? Vancouver jewelry brand Kara Yoo is one to watch for party baubles. Their delicate bows have extra-long “ribbons,” which makes them feel edgier than a pert little loop, and they come in sterling silver and 14K gold-plated for whatever jewelry era you’re in. The line is knocking 20-to-40% off almost their entire site from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2 so if your jewelry box is full, consider a special piece for your sister or best friend. We’ve got our eye on these molten star danglers.
Maje
Shop Here
The item: Maje short velvet and sequined dress
The price: $368.96
The deal: Save 40%
A spangled velvet mini dress with a completely superfluous ruffle? Yes, please. Parisian brand Maje is ready to meet your festive dressing needs — we’re partial to a cheeky mini worn with sheer black tights and vertiginous pumps, but there are pages of excellent (and sparkly!) items to choose from, including a ‘70s-inspired lamé dress and a rhinestone-covered frock with Simone Rocha vibes. Beyond the party circuit, there are gorgeous tailored pieces like this wool blazer to consider.
Our Place
Shop Here
The item: Our Place Home Cook Duo
The price: $250
The deal: Save 40%
How many of your pans look like they’ve been through a grease fire? If yours are hand-me-downs from when you went away to college, consider an upgrade, perhaps with cookware that’s pleasing to look at, like the rarely marked-down pieces from viral cookery brand Our Place. But they’re not just cute: Our Place’s non-stick ceramic coating is made without the toxins found most in non-stick cookware and their goodies have clever details like nesting spatulas that avoid splattery messes on your stovetop. Sets are discounted up to 40% for BFCM, including the chicest blender in existence and this duo of bestsellers. If you get the Always Pan, complete with a steam-release lid, and the Perfect Pan, with its built-in strainer, you might not have to buy another set…ever? Don’t be surprised if you get the sudden urge to document the making of your sunny-side up eggs.

We’re eyeing oversized cocktail rings, two-sided pearl and diamond drop earrings and this joy-bringing rainbow tennis necklace. How chic would it look with a perfect white tee and oversized blazer?
