By now, you probably know I’m picky. I’m the “picky” editor on this team that my co-workers, friends, and family all turn to when they need a winning fashion, beauty, or home gift that checks off all the boxes; a.k.a., it’s high quality but at an accessible price point, stylish but timeless, well designed and unique…you get the idea. Although I get questions year-round, I find myself especially bombarded with texts that request my assistance come holiday shopping season, notably around Black Friday.
It’s arguably the busiest shopping time of the year, and rightly so. Brands are releasing stellar deals, and everyone’s trying to get their holiday shopping done before the rush (I’m guilty of sometimes waiting until December 22!). But before you get overwhelmed, I’m here to shine light on some of the best early Black Friday deals I found on the internet—deals that you can buy for yourself or for your loved ones (or both, no one’s judging what you need to do right now). And yes, they all passed my picky tests, which means they really are 100-percent worth it.
Check out eight early Black Friday deals this editor is losing it over.

Pistola Alice Midi Skirt
Pistola
Denim midi skirts are here to stay, and if you want one of the best in the game, snag this best-selling Pistola find before it ultimately sells out. I own this style in its classic blue denim wash, but I’m considering adding this winter-white to my collection, which I’d pair with a contrasting black turtleneck bodysuit and chunky black leather combat boots. This midi is comfy, well-made, and has the perfect front slit.
Calpak Medium Compression Packing Cubes
Calpak
I’ve decided something big: 2025 is the year I travel a lot more and explore the world (can you tell I’m ready to live life to the fullest?) And for that, I want to be more of an organized traveler. I’ve never relied on packing cubes, but after talking to someone at a recent event, they fully convinced me they're the only way to keep things in check, literally. These compression cubes from Calpak are an instant Add to Cart, and the price is so good, I’ll probably buy several, too.
M.Gemi the Serena Heels
M.Gemi
I’m a big fan of anything and everything from M.Gemi, but to say I’ve had my eyes on these heels for months now would be a serious understatement (more like a year, but hey!). However, it seems like my patience paid off, because they went on sale, and now there’s really no reason not to buy them. At more than $100 off, these Italian-made beauties are going to be my go-to holiday shoes; I picture myself wearing them with sheer tights and a sexy, sheer midi dress.
