The sales I’m actually shopping

10 high end brands w/ notable deals, 4 perfect gift (for anyone) brands, + 3 honorable mentions

Black Friday is overwhelming, but also… I want to save money. I’m sure you can relate. I’ve gathered the “high notes,” if you will, in case you want to take a peek at the sales I’ve got my eye on. Only the best ones.

10 Splurge-y Brands I Watch This Time of Year

• Tuckernuck - 25% off site wide with code: SHOWTIME. Just take all my money. I love this brand. It’s probably 95% of my closet. I’m a loyal Tuckernuck’er forever.

• Sarah Flint - 30% off site wide. Use code SALEOFTHEYEAR. I don’t do heels that often, but when I do, it’s the Sarah Flint Perfect Emma Pump. Over the years I’ve collected three pair. They’re pricy, but I’ll take one pair of incredibly comfortable pumps over three decent heels any day.

• Yearly Co - I met Anne, the founder, in the Spring and got my first bangle. A really cool backstory and a beautiful brand to gift / collect.

• Julia Amory - 30% off (code JAVIP30). I discovered Julia Amory this year and fell in love with her brand. Woman owned business, impeccable quality and fit. Will for sure be shopping here. I have this Blaire top and adore it. I have my eye on the bestselling Julia pants.

• Eby - 30% off site wide with code CYBER. The Relief Bra is the best bra hands down. The name speaks for itself. I’m too far into my comfy-era for underwire at this point. These are great.

• Currentbody - If you’ve been eyeing a red light face mask (or neck mask), now’s the time. They really do work if you’re consistent.

• Dermstore - My one-stop-shop for the best skincare. They carry dermatologist recommended brands, including the ones you can typically only find in the spa or derm office. I especially love these gentle peel pads.

• LOLA Blankets - 55% off site wide w code EMILYLEY starting Wednesday. RUN. This deal is so good. Truly the best blankets. Worth every bit of hype you’ve seen online. We have a few in the size medium.

• Boll & Branch - We outfitted every bed at our lake house in their signature sheet sets. They’re top notch and worth every penny. Save 25% with code EMILYLEYBB

• Our Place - Up to 35% off site wide. I told our kids that when they move out of our house for the first time, I’m going to buy them an Our Place Always Pan. They are truly the best.

4 Well-Loved Brands with Easy, Anyone Gifts

• Rothy’s - 30% off site wide. We all know and love Rothy’s. But have you tried their clogs? I swore I’d never wear a clog (thought they’d look like duck feet), but these are slim, so comfy, and a great gift. I often wear their penny loafers too.

• Lands’ End - The greatest totes of all time. I give half my paycheck to them every year for kids’ school uniforms and their quality really does stand the test of time.

• LAKE - The GOAT. Great gifts. Get a pair of pajamas for yourself. These are my fave.

• Baublebar - 30% off site wide + 20% off custom / personalized gifts. I got Caroline a few things from Baublebar for Christmas.

3 Honorable mentions because I love these so much:

• Bark - because your pup needs a gift under the tree too.

• Jellycat - I’m 42 years old and I want all of them. Particularly the food shaped amusables.

• A couple Amazon finds - this duck umbrella. I have the black one. It’s so chic and so cute. This 3D doodle pen set - Tyler has one and it’s so fun. Madden ‘26, if you’ve got a gamer like I do! This Frasier Fir Thymes Candle (the actual smell of Christmas). And this 3D gear ball fidget toy (again, Tyler, he loves it).

Simplified’s sale is also here and it’s the best we offer all year!! Save 30% with code CHEER. My favorite gift ideas:

• A 2026 Simplified Planner (or Dapperdesk depending on their style)

• The gold Grace Not Perfection necklace

• The Back-And-Forth Journal for a little one

• A linen journal (one of our best sellers this year)
