Black Friday is the best time to get huge discounts, whether you’re buying new clothes, upgrading your technology, or buying Christmas presents. As editors for NBC Select, we go through thousands of internet offers to identify the best ones that are affordable. We added a few items to our own carts while searching for the greatest deals on items in every category, several of which were at their lowest prices of the year. I’ve listed the top Black Friday bargains that our NBC Select editors are grabbing below.

What our NBC Select editors are buying on Black Friday 2024
Apple MacBook Air 13 (M3)
Apple MacBook Air 13 (M3)
301 reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars on Amazon
The lowest cost ever
I would definitely take advantage of this offer if I were in the market for a new laptop. The MacBook Air from Apple is a great laptop, especially for students and travelers who want a small, light device that fits in their backpack. Thanks to Apple’s M3 CPU and 16GB of memory (up from 8GB), this model offers better performance than its predecessors and can run on a single charge for up to 18 hours.Reporter Harry Rabinowitz
Hulken Bag Large
Hulken Bag
1,256 reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars on Amazon
We have to test a lot of things as part of our job. Being that person on the metro is uncomfortable and annoying, and I’m always dragging things home in several tote bags. The Hulken is a popular product among NBC Select employees, so I’ve had my eye on it for a while. I knew I had to take advantage of their Black Friday bargain before they sold out because it doesn’t go on sale very frequently. I have occasionally borrowed one from NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin, and it has changed my life. The handles are long enough to be thrown over your shoulder when descending steps, and it is so roomy that we even placed an entire air conditioner inside. I don’t have to strain myself carrying a load of totes thanks to the wheels, which also move smoothly on uneven pathways.Rebecca Rodriguez, manager of editorial initiatives
Ouai Melrose Place Dedtergent
Ouai Melrose Place Dedtergent
Since I adore the hair care brand Ouai, I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my laundry routine when I learned that they had partnered with the fragrance company Dedcool on a detergent. I bought North Bondi (bergamot, lemon, rose, and violet), the brand’s newest limited-edition scent, and Melrose Place (a rich rose) on Black Friday. I believe that the detergent’s 60-wash lifespan helps to justify its higher price point.Editor of updates, Mili Godio
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
17,275 reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars on Amazon
It can be as difficult to choose the ideal sunscreen for your skin type, texture, and color as it is to choose the ideal foundation. Before I discovered Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen, I struggled to find a mineral sunscreen that didn’t leave an unpleasant white cast. I can wear it under makeup because it’s totally transparent and feels really light on my face. Additionally, unlike the majority of mineral sunscreens on the market, it doesn’t make my face feel or appear greasy.Aksha Mittapalli, an intern in editing
Bissell Little Green Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner
Bissell Little Green Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
90,705 reviews with an average rating of 4.5 stars on Amazon
There’s a reason why people are constantly discussing about Bissell device, which is small yet mighty. It is quite affordable and makes cleaning up pet stains, drink spills, and dirt smudges a breeze. The Little Green machine, which is smaller than a typical duffel bag, lifts and removes ingrained stains from carpet and upholstered surfaces, such as couches and chairs, using water, suction, and a cleaning solution. Editor Mili Godio of NBC Select reports that she has one and finds it quite helpful in cleaning up after her dog, Bella.Editor of commerce, Cory Fernandez.
Embark Breed & Health Kit
Embark Breed
17,963 reviews with an average rating of 4.7 stars on Amazon
The lowest cost ever
My obsession lately has been identifying the breed of my puppy, Obi. Although his coat has subtle brown undertones and he looks like a Border Collie, his breed is still completely unknown. To at least gain some insight into his past, I choose to purchase this dog DNA kit from Embark. It will be an entertaining story to tell if he is part Beagle or some other strange breed.Jordan Bowman, editor of commerce
Reformation Bethany Ballet Flat
Reformation Bethany Ballet Flat
I thought I would finally buy these apartments as I’ve had my eye on them for a while and Reformation only conducts a few sales a year. I adore the rich chestnut hue, and the buckle design keeps my feet safe while looking stylish (one of my most annoyances is when my feet slide out of my flats as I walk). Additionally, it is composed of a stylish, premium leather that will complement my winter attire.Editor of updates, Mili Godio.
JBL Charge 5 Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
JBL Charge 5 – Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
29,826 reviews with an average rating of 4.7 stars on Amazon
The JBL Charge 5 is the best Bluetooth speaker I have ever bought, and I just got my hands on it. This speaker is the ideal size to fit in my bag while I’m on the move, has exceptionally clear sound quality, and is simple to pair with my computer or phone via Bluetooth. Additionally, it has a 20-hour battery life, so I never have to be concerned about it running out of power too soon. This speaker has been the ideal addition to my music setup, whether I’m on a hike, at the beach with friends, getting ready for a night out, or just lounging in the backyard with family.Morrissey, Ella, page.
Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones
Bose QuietComfort Wireless Headphones
6,204 reviews with an average rating of 4.5 stars on Amazon
The lowest cost ever
These Bose headphones’ noise-canceling technology is unmatched by the cacophony of cars, trains, and airplanes. Because they are comfy, lightweight, and have a wired cord for seat-back entertainment during flights, these are some of our favorite over-ear headphones for travel. The headphones have a carrying case that makes it simple to fit them into your weekend bag or vacation backpack. They also fold at the hinges to make them smaller.Reporter Harry Rabinowitz
Artifact Uprising Wedding Layflat Photo Album
Artifact Uprising Wedding Layflat Photo Album
I want to compile all of my favorite wedding-related photographs into a photo album as my one-year anniversary draws near. I was searching for a high-end, luxurious-looking record, and Artifact Uprising’s choice is perfect. Because the book is flat-lay, the seams are flat, giving the images a panoramic appearance. It also features a simple cover with foil lettering that provides a stylish touch, and it comes in more than a dozen colors.Editor of updates, Mili Godio
Vitamix Ascent X3 Blender
Vitamix Ascent X3 Blender
My mother made me swear that I would purchase this item on Black Friday. I’ll be using the Vitamix for miles as soon as it arrives because so many Indian recipes call for one. Compared to other blenders I’ve used, it can more quickly process frozen and hard fruits and other solid foods into a fine mixture. Additionally, it features a speed dial and a pulse function, allowing me to modify the settings according to the ingredients I’m adding to the blender.Aksha Mittapalli, an intern in editing
Shark HD430 FlexStyle
Shark HD430 FlexStyle
An average rating of 4.3 stars based on 5,902 Amazon reviews
Everything you need to style your hair is included in one product. After trying it a few times, I decided I needed to acquire my own Shark after a friend of mine bought one last year. It works for any hair type or style, and as someone with thinner hair, it doesn t cause any heat damage and leaves my hair looking fresh everytime I use it. In my view, it is well worth the cost and includes comprehensive styling advice for all hair types.Page of Ella Morrissey.
