Exactly what to buy in the Black Friday sales, according to Mamamia's lifestyle team.

It's Sales Season, baby. And we're here to help you sift through the overwhelming chaos that ends with you either a) buying everything you don't need or b) avoiding the sales completely because it's just… too much.

In case you missed it, though, in 2024 Black Friday sales officially kick off on November 29 and end on Cyber Monday, December 2, during which you can shop a wide range of brands across millions of items (think: Myer, Adore Beauty, The Iconic, Dyson and Sephora).

You can check out our running tally of all the best Black Friday deals here.

With massive discounts on beauty products, clothing and accessories, tech products and home decor, it makes sense why people wait for these sales to come around every year.

Watch: Speaking of shopping, why not take some fashion inspo from Mamamia On The Streets! Here we ask: do you plan your outfit the night before? Post continues below.

Of course, you already know that Mamamia's lifestyle team takes the sales seriously (shopping is a part of our job okay!?), so I asked them what they're planning on buying this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Here's what they said…

Hommey Robe - Sherbet Stripes.

Hommey Robe - Sherbet Stripes

$149 25% off
$111.75

"I got one of these robes as a birthday present last month and I've been obsessed with them ever since, so I'm planning to stock up as gifts (spoiler alert to my family, we're all going to match). They're unisex and have that perfect oversized fit. They're made from soft cotton, so you can chuck them on when you get out of the pool or at the beach, too. I love the pink and orange colourway but there are so many gorgeous options." - Stacey Hicks, Deputy Editor.

SAINT VALENTINE Franca Hoops - Gold

SAINT VALENTINE Franca Hoops - Gold

$105 20% off
$84

"Part of my New Year's resolution is to start wearing earrings again and playing with accessories more (I'm notoriously boring when it comes to jewellery!). I've had my eye on these gorgeous gold hoops from Saint Valentine — they look like they would compliment any outfit, and there's never been a better time to snap them up!" - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Lifestyle Editor.

Mermade Blow Dry Brush.

Mermade Blow Dry Brush

$109 30% off
$76.30

"I've had my old hair straightener for about 15 years and it's time for her to retire. I've heard amazing things about this Mermade blow dry brush (including from our beauty expert Leigh Campbell, so you know it's good) and this is an affordable price to get rich girl hair, so I've added it to my cart." - Stacey Hicks, Deputy Editor.

Arms of Eve Elkie Gold Bracelet

Arms of Eve Elkie Gold Bracelet

$159 25% off
$119.25

"There's this American woman called Caroline Baudino who I am obsessed with — she always has the coolest jewellery stack, and she has inspired me to up mine. I saw this colourful bracelet in amongst some classic gold bangles and fell in love." - Charlie Begg, Audience Editor.

July Classic Expandable Family Set.

July Classic Expandable Family Set

$1225 16% off
$1025

"After too much wheeling around Europe last year (first world problems) my current set of luggage is looking worse for wear. Particularly the wheels which are all but falling off. So I've been eyeing a sturdy set of luggage like July's Classic Expandable Family Set. I like that you can unzip the expansion zip to give you extra space (important when you come home with more than you anticipated) and they can fit into each other for easy storage." - Valentina Todoroska, Editor-In-Chief.

Koala queen mattress.

Koala Mattress – Queen

$1250 22% off
$985

"This is rogue but I'm after a mattress — it's one of those things everyone knows is so expensive so it's something you never want to pay full price for. The Koala one is Australia's top-rated mattress and comes with the choice of flippable firmness or partner preference so you can customise each side of the bed. Genius. Koala now also sell a range of living room and bedroom furniture, so they're worth checking out for a deal." - Charlie Begg, Audience Editor.

Atmos & Here white linen blend wrap dress.

Atmos & Here Lou Linen Blend Maxi Wrap Dress

$119 29% off
$83.99

"We recommended this same linen blend wrap dress last month in the olive green colourway and it went gangbusters, but I absolutely love the white option too. It's dressy enough for pre-Christmas drinks with the girls and comfy enough to wear all day for Christmas lunch with the fam." - Stacey Hicks, Deputy Editor.

Dyson Gen5detect Absolute 443066-01

Dyson Gen5detect Absolute 443066-01

$1549 37% off
$969

"This is not a want — this is a NEED, you guys. My husband and I bought a barrel vaccum years ago, and I've yearned for the portable, easy-to-whip-out Dyson stick version ever since. The Gen5 is supposed to be the most powerful cordless vaccum (I curse having carpet!) and it's currently on sale at Myer with $580 off — so I think it's a no-brainer?" - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Lifestyle Editor.

Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask 4pk.

Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask 4pk

$37.50 20% off
$30

"Do you know those viral #skinTok videos of people ripping off layers in the morning to reveal GLOWING skin underneath? This Biodance is the mask behind it all — and after personally using it countless times, I promise you those videos are filter-free. Simply apply your evening skincare products as normal, pop on the mask before heading to sleep and wake up to juicy, plump and flawless skin — no exaggeration here. The masks are pretty spendy for K-Beauty standards so when they're on sale, they're honestly an absolute steal." - Juna Xu, Mamamia's Lifestyle Contributor.

Alias Mae Patsy Sandals.

Alias Mae Patsy Sandals

$249.95 30% off
$174.96

"I was on holiday in New York recently and came across a pair of near-identical designer sandals to these that were three times the price. So cool, on sale, going in my cart." - Charlie Begg, Audience Editor.

Le Specs Fire Starter sunglasses

Le Specs Fire Starter sunglasses

$69 30% off
$48.30

"When I find a pair of sunnies I love, I buy them over and over again. So when I saw these were on sale, I snapped up a spare pair for when I eventually leave my current ones on my desk at the office (or lose them altogether). They're a great all-rounder and go with everything." - Stacey Hicks, Deputy Editor.

Bose SoundLink Revolve Plus II Bluetooth Speaker in Luxe Silver

Bose SoundLink Revolve Plus II Bluetooth Speaker in Luxe Silver

$499.95 15% off
$424.96

"I have one of these Bose speakers and they're the absolute best — they have a long battery life, easy to connect and the sound is super crisp. I've wanted to get my parents one for ages, but they're sooo spendy. But they're currently $75 off at Myer, so I'm thinking of taking the leap and getting them one for Christmas!" - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Lifestyle Editor.

CurrentBody LED Face & Neck Kit

CurrentBody LED Face & Neck Kit

$1199 10% off
$1079

"High-quality LED masks don't come cheap, but you will very quickly make your money's worth after using it consistently and realising you don't actually have to spend on regular in-clinic facials. I swear by a daily 10-minute session with my CurrentBody Series 1 mask to help improve and maintain my overall skin texture and appearance. Now, the brand has just launched the Series 2, which features 236 LED bulbs that emit three clinically recognised wavelengths plus a more flexible silicone shape (after owning several LED masks over the years, I can confirm CurrentBody's is the most comfortable to use). Currently, the kit that includes the Face and Neck LED light is on sale this Black Friday so now is the time to JUMP on this incredible deal." - Juna Xu, Mamamia's Lifestyle Contributor.
