Anthropolgie's got select holiday decor on Black Friday sale for 30% off, including this jolly and colorful 18-inch mini ornament wreath. (And if you're really in the mood to splurge, this show-stopping larger version of the wreath is on sale, too.)

Last year, Design Within Reach had a great Black Friday sale, and I’m thrilled to see it’s back. It’s a great time to buy a big-ticket furniture item or cheap home décor from Hay (some great reusable gift boxes are 40 percent off!).

If Thanksgiving and Black Friday mark the official start of the holiday season, the logic follows that they may be the best time to buy holiday gifts if you haven’t already. After all, waiting much longer to check everyone off your gifting list after this point will be cutting it pretty close — and who wouldn’t want to score some serious savings on gifts that are both fun and practical?
