Cosmetics and makeup set with a lipstick, palette, and creams on a wooden surface. Wrapped gifts and a lit candle create a festive mood.

Black Friday is basically the Olympics of online shopping. And if you’re anything like me, your “add to cart” fingers are already warming up.

Amazon’s early deals are rolling out in waves — skincare, haircare, makeup, and those GIFTS you keep trying to buy for people who respond “I don’t know" or "I don’t need anything” every year.

So here are my curated picks across skincare, cosmetics, self-care, home gifts, and fun stocking stuffers. Each listed item below includes a link to the specific product I personally recommend - because no one has time to dig through Amazon’s chaos.

🎀 BLACK FRIDAY DEALS FOR THE “IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOP FOR” PEOPLE

Let’s be honest: everyone has that person:

The “I don’t need anything.”

The “I’ll think about it.”

The “Just get me socks.”

So here are no-fail categories that work every time:

Frosted ambient light essential oil diffuser with a wooden base and subtle golden accents. Soft warm glow emits from within, creating a calm and cozy atmosphere.

1. Cozy Home & Self-Care
