Our Favorite Cyber Monday Home Deals

Smeg Retro Style Drip Coffee Machine

“Sadly, my pour over coffee maker bit the dust a few weeks ago. Really, I shouldn’t own anything glass. So I’ve decided it’s time to get a grown up coffee maker that can be programmed ahead and keeps itself warm (the cooling time on a pour over pot has always been a thorn in my side). The Smeg looks great on any counter and has over 1,400 5-star reviews.” —Rachel Fletcher, commerce director

Majken Hendriks Extra Large Handled Jade Petal Vase

“Although the discounts vary by the seller, Etsy is a wonderful place to seek out Cyber Monday sales on one-of-a-kind gifts. These smiley ceramic bookends double as vases for twice the opportunity to brighten up a bookshelf.” —Lauren Arzbaecher, commerce producer

Hedley & Bennett Chef’s Knife Set

“I was first intrigued by this set because I needed a bread knife that actually worked to cut bread and not just squish it, all while maintaining its sharpness. With two roommates, wear happens fast on our utensils. I’ve found the answer, finally, with H&B. This set also comes with a chef’s knife and a 5.5” utility knife, all of which are the leading choices in my apartment when it’s time to cook.” —Julia Harrison, commerce writer

Our Place Titanium Always Pan Pro

“I’ve had my fair share of pans with nonstick coating that peels over time. So when I heard that Our Place (one of my favorite cookware brands!) came out with a no-coating nonstick skillet, I knew I needed to have it. This pan combines stainless steel and aluminum, along with a patented Titanium NoCo surface for quick, even heating and easy food release. Plus, it’s made without PFAS (aka: ‘forever chemicals’) so I don’t have to worry about toxins getting in my food. This premium pan is hardly ever on sale, so now’s the perfect time to buy if your cookware could use an upgrade.” —Nashia Baker, senior commerce editor

Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Cordless Smart Vacuum

“Speaking to the specific kind of nerd I am, when I saw this Tineco hit the market, I was pumped. I have and love my cordless Tineco, but the fact that you have to clean most lightweight vacuums after every use is a drag. This powerful cordless model cleans itself and has reinvented the (literal) wheel to make the brushroll tangle-proof. I’m so in.” —Rachel Fletcher, commerce director

Pablo Designs Cortina 72 Floor Lamp

“My humble starter apartment has been rocking a cheapo globe lamp for the past couple years, but I’ve been eyeing the acrylic Pablo Cortina as a replacement for ages.” —Lori Keong, associate commerce director

Baggu Puffy Recycled Laptop Sleeve

“There’s a lot of loose stuff in my bag, always, including sometimes leaking fluids, so it became evident pretty quickly I needed something to protect my laptop on its journey to and from work. Not only is this Baggu case very cute, but its plushness and nylon material keep it safe and sound in the hellscape of my tote bag.” —Julia Harrison, commerce writer

“I’d go so far as to consider myself a Baggu obsessive. From the namesake bags to their accessories, I’m always on the lookout for new additions to their colorful library of patterns. This puffy laptop sleeve comes in an array of colors and sizes, and the Velcro flap keeps my computer protected inside.” —Lauren Arzbaecher, commerce producer

Dusen Dusen Everybody S&P Grinders

“Ideal for the maximalist, these salt and pepper grinders add a punch of personality to any kitchen counter or dining table. Don’t be fooled by their cutesy exterior. Made from beechwood, these are built to last.” —Lauren Arzbaecher, commerce producer

Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker

“Ice cream is hands-down one of my go-to desserts, and now I can have it at my fingertips with the help of Ninja Creami. This popular appliance has been on my radar for a while since you can custom-make seven different treats with the touch of a button: Ice Cream, Sorbet, Gelato, Milkshake, Smoothie Bowl, Lite Ice Cream, and Mix-in.” —Nashia Baker, senior commerce editor

Copper Frying Pan

“I cannot say enough good things about Made In. I’ve spent years struggling to find non-stick, non-toxic pans that actually deliver on their advertisement, and finally found Made In. Their French-made Copper Frying Pan not only looks gorgeous but delivers on its many brags—non-toxic, 90% copper and 10% stainless steel, expertly designed for conductivity that allows steam and moisture to evaporate immediately ensuring a perfect sear.” —Julia Harrison, commerce writer

Fellow Black Stagg EKG Electric Kettle

“Every morning for me starts with a cup of tea. With love to those who boil their water in the microwave (I used to be one of you!), electric kettles are the superior way to go. The Fellow kettle not only spruces up a countertop, but has a quick heat time and temperature control to reach the perfect level of heat without scorching the tea leaves. The gooseneck design is also ideal for pour-over coffee, for those of you who aren’t tea-inclined.” —Lauren Arzbaecher, commerce producer

Zojirushi 3-Cup Rice Cooker

“Zojirushi makes all sorts of elite rice cookers that have a zillion different functions, but this model is its most streamlined with just one lever. Pour your water over the rice, drop the lever to get it going, and wait to hear a satisfying click when your rice is ready. It’s been my favorite set-it-and-forget-it device for making perfectly cooked rice every time, until I somehow lost track of the lid recently. It’s not terribly expensive as is, but hoping to snag a deal on it to save me from the trouble of buying yet another one at full price.” —Lori Keong, associate commerce director

HexClad Essential Knife Set

“Professional-grade knives that also looks great? Sign me up. Say goodbye to those dull kitchen blades and say hello to this Japanese steel knife set with very handsome green pakkawood handles.” —Audrey Lee, commerce editor

Our Favorite Cyber Monday Fashion Deals

Quince Baby Alpaca-Wool Waffle Stitch Polo Sweater

“I could live in Quince’s sweaters all through winter. While their wonderful selection of cashmere is an open secret (peep just about any of our holiday guides), their alpaca blend knits are a sleeper hit. This polo is an easy way to look put-together and there are also turtleneck and three-quarter zip designs that make the coziest layers to throw on when you don’t know what to wear.” —Audrey Lee, commerce editor

Babaa No. 75 Alga Jumper

“Babaa is the kind of brand where shepherds are directly involved. The Barcelona-based sweater company is a champion of sustainably sourced and produced sweaters, and the result is thoughtfully crafted 100% wool pieces. If you’re looking for authenticity in craft, my jumper literally came with pieces of hay still in it.” —Julia Harrison, commerce writer

Nia Thomas Oshun Dress

“Nia Thomas’ Oshun Dress is inspiring my next trip to the tropics. The talented designer is known for using several design techniques, but one that’s caught my eye is her crocheting. This dress will serve as a gorgeous cover-up for my bathing suit or evening-wear with a slip underneath it.” — Nashia Baker, senior commerce editor

Alohas Sway Leather Ballet Flats

“Ever since I got these gorgeous Alohas flats, I have wanted them in every color (or at least one more!)—despite the fact that I never thought I’d be a ballerina flat girl. I get compliments every time I wear them and they’re super comfortable, but also chic enough that they elevate even a boring outfit. Definitely worth the investment.” —Rachel Fletcher, commerce director

“I’m an all-day jewelry wearer, which is exactly why Ana Luisa stays in rotation for me. I have rings, necklaces, and earrings from the brand, all of which have timeless and durable designs and sustainable materials. I’m excited to add even more jewelry to my collection (especially statement rings!).” —Nashia Baker, senior commerce editor

Our Favorite Cyber Monday Mattress and Textile Deals

Avocado Luxury Organic Mattress

“If there was ever a time to buy a mattress, Cyber Monday is it. I already have a mattress topper from Avocado Mattress, but my next investment piece is definitely the brand’s luxury organic mattress. I love a balance between springy support and plush comfort as I sleep, and this hybrid mattress blends both beautifully with 17 layers of encased coils and plush materials like natural latex, wool, silk, and cotton.” —Nashia Baker, senior commerce editor

Parachute Organic Resort Stripe Towels

“To me, a towel isn’t suitable for the bathroom or the beach unless it’s striped. The camel with soft black is an unexpected color story, and I know Parachute makes nothing but the best towels.” — Julia Harrison, commerce writer

Brooklinen Down Alternative Comforter

“I recently switched from a down duvet to a down alternative option (too many loose feathers!), and this one from Brooklinen is the perfect layer. I’ll use it alone when the weather’s a little warmer or sandwich it in between a weighted blanket on top and a fleece-y blanket below to achieve peak coziness during winter.” —Audrey Lee, commerce editor

“This coverlet upgraded my sleep situation more than any mattress or sheet set or down duvet ever could. It traps just the right amount of heat for a cold sleeper like me, its material is incredibly soft and cozy, and otherwise it makes your sleep sanctuary look very intentionally designed.” —Julia Harrison, commerce writer

Our Favorite Cyber Monday Beauty and Fragrance Deals

Flamingo Estate Roma Heirloom Tomato Candle

“The hype around Flamingo Estate’s beloved tomato candle is real. Or, at least I think it is. I own the brand’s tomato cleaning spray, which has just the right amount of herbaceous zest to it to make my countertops sing. Now, I want the scent to radiate throughout my apartment—that is, so long as I don’t have to pay 60 bucks for the candle.” —Lori Keong, associate commerce director

Nette Suede Fringe Candle

“I’m picky about scents and I really like this one—it’s leathery without being thick and dusty, which similar scent profiles can be guilty of. The violet leaf and cardamom give the candle a levity that makes it a perfect all-season scent.” —Julia Harrison, commerce writer

Elorea JOY Hand Lotion

“Any type of hand cream in the winter is a must. This citrusy one from Elorea has hyaluronic acid, aloe, and smells like mandarins and grapefruit. It’s 60% off right now as part of the brand’s Cyber Monday promotions so definitely a great deal and a smart buy with drier months ahead.” —Audrey Lee, commerce editor

“Glossier’s original You fragrance has been a steady favorite in my fragrance rotation for quite some time now. I like it so much I have it in both the full size and a travel rollerball that I keep in my purse. This is a product that rarely goes on sale so I’d definitely grab a bottle while you’re replenishing your Boybrow and Balm Dot Com.” Audrey Lee, commerce editor
