19 Black Friday gift deals we’re shopping now

Mejuri Celestial Dome ring

$798.40

I’m mostly made of water and butter (and apparently stardust?). But if I were made of money, I would get this golden Mejuri ring for my sister, to remind her every day that she’s the enduring light in my life. Wait, it’s 20 per cent off, so maybe I’ll just go for it? $798.40 (was $998)

– Holly Bodeker-Smith, newsletter editor

Buy at Mejuri

Thieves six-month coffee subscription

$134.40

I’m all about fun (but failsafe!) gifts. My partner’s dad is big into coffee and loves trying new things – and Thieves’ coffee subscription feels like a great alternative to one-off presents. Each month, he’ll receive a bag of locally roasted beans and get to stray from “the usual.” $134.40 (was $168)

– Simone Richardson, shopping editor

Dyson V9 Submarine wet and dry vacuum

$795

My parents rarely treat themselves to things that they can get for a cheaper price. But I don’t think they know how good a Dyson can be – which is why this is what I’d gift them this Christmas. My dad is also an absolute neat freak, so this vacuum would save him tons of time with chores, especially now I don’t live at home with them anymore. $795 (was $999)

– Pauline De Leon, branded content editor

Moveactive grip sock set

$49.95

There are plenty of reformer Pilates girlies in my life (I’m one of them, to be fair), so this set of three pairs of grippy socks is going in plenty of stockings this year. There are six sets to choose from and they’re all cute – I might even get the floral ones for myself. $49.95 (was $68.85)

– Chynna Santos, branded content editor

Adidas R71 sneakers

$109.99

I’m going to gift my partner a pair of these textural green Adidas shoes because of her green obsession. One day, she hopes to be completely dressed in all-green like a crazy New Yorker. I feel like these shoes will get her on her way. $109.99 (was $139.99)

– Dan Cunningham, food and drink features editor

Buy at Platypus

Sophie Lou Jacobsen Green Le Voyage vase

$1130

One of my besties is turning 30, and the group chat is set on finding a gift she’ll cherish forever. She loved Jacobsen’s cult spiral coasters, so this artsy vase feels very up her street. It’s almost 80 per cent off – rare for the NYC artist’s pieces – and promises to house a lifetime of beautiful blooms. Bellissima! $1130 (was $4915)

– Simone Richardson, shopping editor

Buy at Ssense

Samsonite 73H carry-on

$239.40

After 15 years, the wheel on my mum’s trusty Samsonite fell victim to Europe’s cobblestone streets. She could get it repaired, but I know she’ll appreciate a fresh one. $239.40 (was $399)

– Steph Vigilante, head of social

Buy at Samsonite

Kitchenaid Artisan Tilt-Head stand mixer

$599

I’m big on getting people to pool money together for a big gift. My boyfriend’s sister has gotten very into baking recently, and this is something she’d never buy for herself. I’ll also get to reap some benefits. $599 (was $799)

– Audrey Payne, Melbourne food and drink editor

Buy at Kitchenaid

The Club Tern No. 7 Print

$55.20

My friend has just moved into a new place and I think this mismatched print by Copenhagen artist Molly Kyhl would hang pretty on her walls. $55.20 (was $69)

– Gitika Garg, assistant editor, art, design, style

Buy at RJ Living

Dyson Airwrap ID multi styler

$699

A little luxury that someone maybe wouldn’t justify buying for themselves, the Dyson Airwrap has a reputation for a reason. Perfect for drying, curling and styling in general, it’s a gift you know they won’t want to return. $699 (was $849)

– Meg Nolan, social media performance executive

Buy at Dyson

Boody Goodnight sleep shorts

$25.77

I love the look of these butter-soft bamboo cotton PJs. I think people who wear matching pyjama sets are the height of glamour. You must feel so fancy, and I think you’d have a better night’s sleep, too. I’m getting these as a gift for me – it would make me feel like a proper grown-up. $25.77 (was $42.95)

– Lucy Bell Bird, national assistant editor

Buy at Boody

Maison Balzac Pomponette vase

$151.20

I’m getting this Maison Balzac vase in amber for my sister, who is a florist. She goes to the flower market all the time, so it’ll be put to good use. $151.20 (was $189)

– Grace MacKenzie, Sydney food and drink editor

Buy at Aura Home

Zorali Mens Venture pants

$120

My brother and I share a love of bouldering, so I think he’ll get a lot of use out of these relaxed cargo pants. Whether he wears them in the climbing gym or outdoors on actual rocks, I’m sure the lightweight, flexible pants will help him reach new heights (yes, pun intended). $120 (was $150)

– Chynna Santos, branded content editor

Buy at Zorali

Middle of Nowhere Aura mirror

$188

This icy blue mirror is as fun as it is functional. I think this one’s a gift for Mum. It’ll be a conversation starter, I’m sure, and it’s 20 per cent off. $188 (was $235)

– Gitika Garg, assistant editor, art, design, style

Buy at RJ Living

Vintage linen fringe cushion

$63

I’m getting my partner this linen fringe cushion in olive from Aura Home, selfishly, because we live together, so it’ll be on my couch as well. $63 ($79)

– Grace MacKenzie, Sydney food and drink editor

Buy at Aura Home

Spencer Projects camo cap

$21

The best present is always the one someone wouldn’t buy for themselves and I’ve found for most people, even though hats are a wardrobe essential, they’re typically an afterthought. So I’ve been buying hats for people and it’s so nice to see them getting heavy usage. You have to tailor your choice to the person, but a camo cap goes a surprisingly long way – and RM Williams is a classic. $21 (was $39.95)

– James Williams, creative solutions manager

Bon Charge red light toothbrush

$224.25

Red light therapy is a hot topic among my friends, so when this new use for it surfaced, it naturally shot to the top of everyone’s wishlists. It’s now 25 per cent off, so I’m stocking up on Christmas gifts ahead of time. Happy gums, happy chums – or so the saying goes. $224.25 (was $299)

Baina baby towel set

$93

My friend is almost at her due date and about to pop. I don’t know much about babies, but I do know things are about to get real messy. This sweet set includes a towel and two washcloths, wrapped in a sunnier palette of the Antipodean label’s signature print. And it’s currently half off – baby gift: check. $93 (was $185)

– Simone Richardson, shopping editor

Kreafunk Ago mini bluetooth speaker

$47.96

Sisters share everything, but I’ve decided that it’s time to cut the cord on speakers. The Danish label makes them so portable you can toss them in your bag for the beach or picnics. They’re also surprisingly chic – something I didn’t think was possible with tech. This design will match her minimalist decor perfectly. $47.96 (was $59.95)
