A Shopping Director’s Wayfair Black Friday Deal Picks

I’m the Senior Editorial Director of our shopping team — which is fancy for “I get to shop for a living.” In my time on our team, I’ve been a writer, an editor, and for the last four years, I’ve had the privilege of leading the team. In each of these roles, I’ve covered Wayfair deals extensively.

Just like our readers, my team’s shopping experts and I actually enjoy shopping at Wayfair. We get excited when Kelly Clarkson and Joanna Gaines’ collections go on sale, swoon over Martha Stewart’s modern farmhouse pieces, and love when our favorite accent chair is a standout deal.

This deep historical knowledge of Wayfair’s products and deals means that when November sales roll around, no one is more prepared to flag the best of the best than we are — and we know that some of the steepest Black Friday deals are actually happening right now.

Bedsure Ribbed Flannel Electric Blanket

Wayfair has literally thousands of throw blankets, but this one is heated for extra coziness — and it’s 88 percent off right now. Even when it’s not turned on, the blanket’s flannel material makes it warm enough to drape over your legs on a cold day, plus, its rich color options add a pop of color as a throw in any room. One shopper described it as “super plush and toasty warm,” and another added that after they bought one as a gift, they felt how soft it is and decided to order one for themselves.

Sand & Stable Hertford Mid-Century Solid Wood Accent Chair

I wasn’t kidding when I said our team has a favorite accent chair. All 10 of us love the classic yet sophisticated design of this one from Sand & Stable, and the millennials of the group can’t get enough of the beige colorway. The chair slightly slopes backwards, creating an inviting shape that shoppers say makes you sink comfortably into it, and the included pillow adds to both the look and functionality. In the years that we’ve been admiring it, the chair’s current 66 percent off sale price is one of the lowest we’ve seen.

Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines x Loloi Sinclair Machine Washable Rug

Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia collection rugs are some of Wayfair’s (and our) best sellers. Her years of home expertise are clear both in the design and quality of her rugs, which is especially clear with this style and the 2,400+ 5-star reviews it has. It’s stain-resistant and pet-friendly, but if you ever feel like it needs a deep clean, you can toss it in your washing machine, too. Shoppers say it’s “the softest area rug (they) own,” that it’s “excellent quality,” and they “couldn’t be happier” with their purchase.

Kelly Clarkson Home Kat Farmhouse Upholstered Storage Ottoman

Kelly Clarkson Home is another favorite with our team, and this storage ottoman has us particularly excited. Clarkson’s furniture tends to be high quality and designed for family living, and this piece is no exception. The ottoman is made from both solid and manufactured wood, making it an investment piece that doesn’t break the bank, and it’s also water- and stain-resistant. It’s an absolute steal at up to 56 percent off right now, not only for those reasons but because it’s a multifunctional triple threat, too: It’s a table, seat, and storage piece in one.

Martha Stewart Cotton Percale Sheet Set

Rounding out the top celebrity collections at Wayfair is none other than the queen of homemaking herself, Martha Stewart. It should come as no surprise that her 100 percent cotton percale sheets have a near-perfect rating from shoppers who say they’re “very soft,” that they “couldn’t be more pleased,” and who noted they “would buy them again.” We’re betting the current sale price might help with that repeat purchase.

Don’t wait until Black Friday weekend to save big at Wayfair. Shop my top picks while they’re deeply discounted and still in stock now.
