While it’s $100 off for Black Friday, I’m eyeing the Dyson Ball Animal Origin vacuum that’s specifically designed to target deeply set messes. The ultra-powerful pet vacuum not only grabs hair from carpets, but it also traps embedded allergens, dirt, and dust from all floor types.

Available in a set of six, the bowls are made of chip-resistant porcelain that features a unique dipped shape to serve cereal, soup, salads, and more. Luna All Seasoned Weighted Blanket Weighted blankets have been touted for providing anxiety relief that leads to deeper sleep, and we could all use that this holiday season.

The Citizenry La Calle Alpaca Throw My linen sheet set from The Citizenry is one of the most luxurious items I own—it’s truly the softest linen I’ve ever felt (and the sheets just get silkier over time). Now that the weather is biting, I’m excited to add this light-as-air alpaca throw blanket to support my snowy day reading habits. The handmade alpaca throw is hypoallergenic, making it a great gift for those with sensitive skin. And today, the brand is giving all profits to support Ukrainian families in its Black Friday Fund.

This transparent watering spray bottle will help keep me on track of regular watering—after all, if it’s pretty I’ll use it more. It’s only $11 right now, and designed to freshen up houseplants and succulents. Creative Co-Op Round Hammered Metal Bowl I love shopping for serveware, but some pieces are better suited as decor—and this hammered metal bowl certainly deserves a spot on the dining table. It’s the ultimate vessel for displaying fruits, flowers, and holiday decorations like pinecones and ornaments. In a pinch, it makes a gorgeous salad bowl, too. Ronxs Three-in-One Candle Accessory Set As previously mentioned, I love candles, but I could take better care of them. I’ve always wanted a candle tool set that I could use to trim the wick, snuff the flame, and reposition the wick even while it’s burning. It seems unnecessary, but this best-selling set can increase the burn time and prevent soot from spilling into your home. Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug I wish I could leisurely drink my morning coffee, but if it isn’t steaming, the once delicious brew is suddenly revolting. I try reheating it in the microwave or adding still-hot coffee from the pot, but it’s not the same as the initial pour, so I end up making a new one or switching to cold brew and pouring out half of my first cup. This smart mug is my gift from heaven as it’s designed to maintain the exact temperature of my liking. The luxury item is a best-seller with more than 5,000 five-star ratings, proving that the perfect cup of coffee is a commodity through investing in. Google Nest Smart Thermostat Speaking of temperature control, if you’re like me and live in a space that can’t seem to regulate the room temperature, this Google smart thermostat may be the golden ticket.

O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop My hardwood floors are constantly littered with dirt, mud, and pet hair. And while a vacuum gets most of the initial mess, a mop is the best option for hidden filth. This $35 mop is the solution to stubborn stains thanks to its microfiber strands that cling to dirt with just water. It even comes with a wring bucket with a splash guard to prevent messes as you clean them.

Some of my favorite items that I’ve tested this past year are also on sale during Black Friday. These percale Brooklinen sheets are the crispest, coolest, and most breathable set I’ve found, and they’re 25% off. They’re made from 100% long-staple cotton reminiscent of the luxury found in a five-star hotel. In terms of bedding, I also love the Rumpl merino wool throw blanket that stays on my bed throughout winter and beyond. It’s softer than any other wool I’ve found without being scratchy, and it makes a great gift, too. I’ve raved about the Beckham Hotel Collection pillows before, and it’s unlikely that I’ll stop. They’re supportive, fluffy, and never lose their shape throughout the night.
