The 11 Best Sales to Shop This Week, According to Our Editors
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Believe it or not, December is officially here, which means the whirlwind season of holiday shopping sprees, sales events, and panic-adding items to our digital shopping carts in the hopes they'll arrive on time has officially commenced. While Black Friday and Cyber Monday featured can't-miss deals aplenty (and trust us, we bought a lot), our holiday shopping is, frankly, far from complete. From scoping out the perfect gifts for him and her to nailing down gift ideas for notoriously picky tweens and still manageing to make time to treat ourselves to a little something too (because we work hard and deserve it), there are a lot of names that still need to be checked off our holiday shopping lists.
Fortunately, the season's biggest sales are actually just getting started. We know — it's hard to fathom that after all of the savings events we've seen over the past month, there could still be any deals left to shop. But there are — and we're here to help clue you in on which ones are actually worth shopping this week! From savings on tech essentials at Walmart to markdowns on trendy fashion pieces at Madewell, the deals are truly endless. Ahead, check out our picks for the best sales to shop this week, with post-Black Friday and ongoing Cyber Week deals from top retailers like Ulta, Nordstrom, Coyuchi, and so many others!
Best Fashion Deal: SKIMS Fits Everybody Square Neck Sleeveless Bodysuit
While Nordstrom's Black Friday deals may be over, the brand's Cyber Monday deals are still going strong through Dec. 5. Shoppers can browse thousands of discounted items from the brand, including bestsellers like this SKIMS Fits Everybody Square Neck Sleeveless Bodysuit ($44, originally $58). The piece is so comfy and hugs the body in all the right ways. Plus, it's even POPSUGAR editor-approved, as detailed in this Skims Fits Everybody Collection review.
Editor Quote: "Overall, the bodysuit is a fit, not a miss in my book — I've come across very few bodysuits that feel this good on." — Nikita Charuza, Former Editor, Fashion
Best Holiday Decor Deal: Frontgate Majestic Holiday Cordless Wreath
It's officially December, which means that now is the perfect time to pull out all of your holiday decor and invest in a few new staple pieces, too (assuming that you haven't already, of course!). This Frontgate Majestic Holiday Cordless Wreath ($164, originally $219) is at the top of our shopping wishlist this week. Plus, it's also included in Frontgate's limited time sale, which includes 25 percent off products site-wide.
Best Tech Deal: Apple Watch
As shopping experts, we're big believers that the prime time to purchase the year's best tech items is during the holiday shopping season — when they're all marked down, of course. If you're hoping to streamline all of your tech activity in the new year, this Apple Watch SE (1st Gen) ($199, originally $279) is sure to help do the trick. It's also one of the many rollbacks currently featured in Walmart's post-Deals for Days sales event. Learn more about the benefits of owning this versatile tech in our Apple Watch Series 7 product review.
Editor Quote: "The bottom line is that wearing the Apple Watch Series 7 inspires me to stay active, get enough sleep, and slow down and reflect each day. I do love when I close my rings and reach all my move, exercise, and stand goals, but the app on my phone also tracks my mindfulness as well." — Jenny Sugar, Former Staff Writer, Fitness
Best Pet Toys Deal: Chewy Goody Box with Kitten Toys & Treats
Few things bring us more joy than our pets. And during the holiday shopping season, it's important to remember to pick up a treat or two for the sweet cat or pup in your life to help get them in the holiday spirit, too. For a limited time at Chewy, shoppers can enjoy deals of up to 40 percent off on thousands of animal sweaters, toys, treats, and even gift boxes like this Chewy Goody Box with Kitten Toys & Treats ($25, originally $37).
Best Bedtime Deal: Slip Silk Pillowcase
A better night's rest is only a purchase away — assuming that purchase is this top-rated Slip Silk Pillowcase ($71, originally $89), of course. The buttery soft essential is currently on sale at SkinStore, where for a limited time, shoppers can get 20 percent off their purchase with the code GIFT. This bedtime must is loved by POPSUGAR editors — read our Slip Silk Pillowcase review for further proof — and celebrities alike, including Ayesha Curry, Jonathan Van Ness, and Suni Lee.
Editor Quote: "Regardless of my future bedroom decor, I'll always be able to use a Slip pillowcase that matches. Now that I've been using these cases for a few years, I don't think I can ever go back to waking up with creases on my face again." — Sarah Siegel, Former Assistant Editor, Beauty
Best Travel Deal: Away The Carry-On Suitcase
Travelling during the holidays can be so exhausting, but with this Away The Carry-On Suitcase ($275), navigating the airport and security checkpoints can be a bit easier. The lightweight suitcase is such a great investment, and it's even a favourite of POPSUGAR editors — as detailed in this Away Luggage product review. Best of all: it's currently included in Away's ongoing holiday deal, where shoppers can get $50 off the purchase of two suitcases or $100 off the purchase of three suitcases.
Editor Quote: "In comparison to other carry-on luggage, I was shocked at how easy it was to roll the bag through the airport . . . even as I was running to catch my flight. Since I am short and sometimes struggle to lift extremely full carry-ons into the luggage rack above my seat on a plane, the Away [carry-on] being lightweight was a big factor for me." — Hilary White, Former Editor, Living
Best Comforter Deal: Coyuchi Noe Organic Duvet Cover
If you've been looking for an excuse to finally give your bedroom the upgrade it deserves, Coyuchi's current sales event is definitely it. For a limited time, shoppers can take 25 percent off trending gifts from the brand, including everything from organic towels and waffle robes to duvet sets like this Coyuchi Noe Organic Duvet Cover ($261, originally $348). The discount is automatically applied, and shoppers can even enjoy a free gift on orders over $300, too.
Best Cookware Deal: Great Jones Double Dutch Ovens
We are suckers for a good deal on a cult-favourite cooking essential, and one of the internet's all-time favourites just happens to be on sale this week — aka the Great Jones Double Dutch Ovens ($200, originally $280), of course. This bundle is especially great because you get two dutch ovens in one order and shoppers can also enjoy free shipping off orders over $100 (which this product qualifies for). Great Jones cookware is a favourite among POPSUGAR editors — read through our Great Jones Dutchess product review to learn more!
Editor Quote: "The enameled cast-iron pot works for the stove and oven, so you can cook practically anything in it. The design is meant to retain heat well, so you can also place it on your table for serving once you're ready to eat." — Macy Cate Williams, Former Content Director, Commerce
Best Denim Deal: Madewell The Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg Jean
Winter temperatures have finally arrived, which means we'll be wearing jeans until further notice. If you're in the market for a new pair that you can wear everywhere, we recommend this Madewell The Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg Jean ($104, originally $148), which is now marked down at Madewell's early holiday sale. Just use the code VERYMERRY when you check out to get 30 percent off your purchase.
Best Beauty Deal: Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush
Ulta's famous Holiday Beauty Blitz sale is officially live, and features weekly deals of up to 50 percent off on skin-care sets, beauty gifts, and even viral hair tools like this Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush ($45, originally $75). Our POPSUGAR editors are pretty notable fans of the tool, which helps users to achieve the look of a salon-like blowout at home. Need further convincing?

Best Home Deal: Baloo Weighted Blanket
Cosy season is the prime time for staying inside and snuggling up with a good throw. While there are a lot of great blankets out there, this Baloo Weighted Blanket ($143, originally $179) is arguably one of the best — with thousands of rave reviews and even the POPSUGAR editor seal of approval to confirm how great it is (just read our Baloo Weighted Blanket product review to learn more!). Bonus: it's also currently on sale. Just use the code HOLIDAY at checkout to get 20 percent off products storewide.
Editor Quote: "If you struggle with constant tossing and turning throughout the night or you have anxiety that tends to keep you from sleeping, this blanket could be a huge game changer in your quality of sleep. It's a little something extra that cues to your body and mind that it's time to calm down, and that you're in a safe place." — Kelsey Hurwitz, Former Assistant Editor, Voices
