Every year, I tell myself I’m going to keep it simple for Black Friday. A few gifts for the kids, maybe some cozy pajamas for my husband — and then somehow my cart turns into a full-blown family wishlist. But here’s the thing: Walmart’s Black Friday deals this year are genuinely too good to scroll past.
Between kitchen gadgets that make weeknights easier, beauty tools worth gifting twice, and big-ticket electronics you’ll actually use, this year’s Walmart Black Friday finds prove that saving money doesn’t mean settling. And yes — a few of these picks might mysteriously end up under the tree with my name on them.
that feel grown-up but still have that spark of creativity that keeps them off their phone for more than five minutes.

For the Kids (and Kids at Heart)
There’s something about shopping for kids that makes me feel like a magician — finding that one thing that’ll make Christmas morning sparkle. This year, it’s all about play meets purpose. I’m eyeing STEM-based building sets, Bluey toys, and craft kits that’ll keep them entertained beyond the holiday weekend.
And because winter in Chicago basically means indoor season, I’m adding cozy loungewear sets and character pajamas to the list — they’re always a hit and look way more expensive than they are.

For Him
Shopping for men is a sport — they’ll never ask for what they actually want, but they’ll use it every day once they get it. That’s why I’m leaning toward tech and practical upgrades this year: noise-canceling headphones, smart home gadgets, and a heavy-duty hoodie that works for errands or lazy Sundays.
The quiet hero gift? A massage tool or heated back pad — because “I’m fine” usually means his back isn’t.

For the Home
If there’s ever a time to upgrade home essentials, it’s now. I’m talking cordless vacuums under $100, luxury-scented candles, and the kitchen appliances you’ll actually use.
This year, my eye’s on a sleek air fryer toaster oven combo (because one appliance doing two jobs is always a win), and a velvet blanket that feels far more luxurious than its price tag suggests. These are the kinds of Walmart Black Friday home deals that make you want to redecorate just because.

For Me (Because Why Not?)
I’m calling it: self-gifting season is real. I’ve been adding cozy knits, ankle boots, and under-$50 beauty finds that make winter mornings feel less chaotic. The deals on fragrance gift sets this year are surprisingly chic — think designer vibes without the designer markup.
And since I’m trying to organize my life (emphasis on trying), I’m snagging a makeup organizer and a new robe-and-slippers set for the kind of quiet mornings that feel like a luxury.
