Clicking around the internet the past few days, you might be wondering if the whole retail world has gone on sale — those who've been virtual-window shopping for gifts know damn well it has. And, as a shopper in the market for the good goods to give, it's not a bad thing to have major coin lopped off anything and everything you've ever considered purchasing. But, lordy lordt, is it overwhelming. To add to the frenzy of parsing through the best Black Friday deals, there's also the whisper of unreliable shipping — which we get, sending stuff takes time and we're in the midst of a supply chain meltdown. (Editor's note: we're feeling frantic too.) That's why we decided to hunker down and do what we do best: scour the internet with a fine-tooth comb to find the best gifts on sale so you can rest easy.
To make this list, each gift needed to pass three checkpoints: it's on sale; it can be received before Christmas; it's a crowd-pleaser. From giftable deals on best-selling sheets they'd never splurge on themselves to a pair of comic-book-character clad socks and a customizable coordinates' ring, now's the time to treat your loved ones to a few special holiday surprises. You can tell them it was on sale or keep it to yourself because they'll never know the difference. So get gifting before Cyber Week comes to its inevitable end, R29 friends, because who knows what tomorrow will bring. Actually, we do — it'll probably bring up the prices (aaagh!).
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. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
