Black Friday is fast approaching, and chances are you’ve already been hit with a wave of emails, ads, and “too-good-to-miss” offers. All the urgency and countdown timers can start to feel a little overwhelming.
We love a great deal as much as much as the next person, but it’s easy to get swept up in the rush and the FOMO…. and before you know it, you’re overspending on things you don’t actually need.
So, this Black Friday, let’s take a more mindful approach. Here’s how to pause, reflect, and shop with intention.
Before you add any Black Friday offers to cart, take a moment to ask yourself:
- Do I truly need this, or is it a want?
Is it something that supports my wellbeing, skincare goals, or daily life… or am I being pulled along with the hype?
- How often will I realistically use it or do I already have something similar?
If it isn’t something you’ll reach for often, take a moment and consider if you should purchase. Does it fill a gap or is it a duplicate of something you already own?
- Is the offer actually good?
Compare the price, check reviews, and make sure it’s a real saving… not just sneaky marketing. There’s definitely some brands out there that up the pricing in the lead up only to ‘drop’ it for Black Friday… so keep an eye out.
- How will I feel about this purchase in a week?
Imagine future you… will you feel grateful that you bought it, or wish that you saved the money?
- Can I afford it comfortably?
Mindful spending should feel empowering, not stressful.
If you’re looking at Black Friday deals for Christmas presents, ask yourself this:
- Am I buying this because it’s thoughtful and something they’d like, or because it’s on offer?
A meaningful gift doesn’t need to be discounted. Is this actually something they’ll love, or are you being swayed by the discount? Think about the person – their lifestyle, their interests… is this something they’ll actually appreciate?
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite Black Friday deals that caught our eye… take a look and see what might be worth adding to your list.
