There’s nothing better than sitting down for a movie night with freshly popped popcorn. However, bagged popcorn can be high in fat and sodium, so I plan on purchasing the Micro-Pop Popcorn Popper to make my popcorn a little healthier since no butter or oil is required to make the snack. (You can, of course, add butter or oil if you want to.) Plus, the glass vessel fits right in the microwave, finishes popping in three minutes or less, and is currently on sale for 20% off.

After the release of this year’s special edition KitchenAid stand mixer, I’m obsessed with all things hunter green for my kitchen. This Moccamaster coffeemaker in Juniper is the most gorgeous shade of green — plus, it brews an impressive cup of joe. At 30% off, I can’t wait to snag this machine for Cyber Week.

Any time I’m placing a large online order like during Cyber Week when I tackle most of my holiday shopping, I also like to stock up on household items and groceries like protein powder while they’re also on sale. I use this unflavored and unsweetened organic vegan protein powder to make smoothies on a weekly basis.

I love to bake cookies for the holidays, and packing them in these boxes makes it super easy to gift them to friends and family throughout the season. I like to tie each box with velvet ribbon, so they look extra special.

I have heard about how much the Food Network Kitchen team and our editors LOVE the Rubbermaid Brilliance containers, so I’m finally going to update my piecemeal storage container situation at home! I’m so looking forward to opening my fridge to see the uniform, stackable and clear containers after meal prep or before dinner parties.

I’ve been a longtime fan of Caraway cookware and bakeware and gifted pieces over the years to family members. The cookware set or individual pieces are a great gift for home cooks who are looking for non-toxic cookware options. The ceramic-coated surface is extremely nonstick making cleanup a breeze. The beautiful design and color options allow you to personalize your gift to what matches their kitchen. Caraway’s is running a sitewide sales up to 20% off for Black Friday which runs through 12/31.

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on this particular strainer for awhile because it’s super convenient and efficient! Whenever I’m washing fruit, I like to keep it in the strainer for an extra amount of time to dry. And this over the sink one does the job without taking over the whole area, so I can still wash dishes and other cooking necessities that require sink time because of the perfect fitted grips that keep the colander in the air!

Every week, I make a loaf of sourdough bread. (Yes, I did fall victim to the breadmaking craze of 2020.) Although my family and I eat bread daily, the loaf gets stale (read: rock-hard) after about 4 days. Enter the Keeki Bag. It's a plastic-free storage bag made of 100% linen and beeswax. The natural antibacterial property of beeswax deters mold while the drawstring closure extends the life of the sourdough by about 4 days in my experience. Needless to say, I'll be snagging one or two of these for the bakers on my gift list.

I’m getting everyone on my shopping list one of these fun and functional Cold Beer Coats koozies. My husband and I recently saw these being used on a TV show and he said he wanted one. Fortunately, I had no problem finding them, and being they’re so inexpensive, my husband is not the only one getting a puffer jacket for his beer.

I've wanted a juicer for years, but I've always heard they are super difficult to clean, and I know myself. I'd use it once, enjoy a $100+ glass of juice, and then leave it on the shelf after experiencing the cleaning difficulties firsthand. This juicer, however, has glowing reviews not only on the ease of use but also the ease of cleaning! And on top of that, it's a masticating juicer, which means you're getting more nutrients than a (usually cheaper) centrifugal juicer can yield. Consider me sold.

I've been a fan of Ouai products for a while now, and I absolutely love this leave-in conditioner that doubles as a heat protectant! When paired with their Ouai curl crème, it creates my favorite hair care routine for my wavy hair!

The perfect host gift for holiday brunch? A gorgeous pie dish. This deep dish one from Emile Henry does double duty. Bring it with a delicious baked quiche and leave it with you host as a gift for later. They’ll appreciate the addition to their table and cabinets.

This on-the-spot stain spray is marketed towards parents of young kids, but I can attest that it works just as well for messy adults. It removes all kinds of food stains and doesn’t leave a ring when it dries. I always carry a bottle in my purse.

I’m stocking up on Fishwife x Fly By Jing’s Smoked Salmon with Sichuan Chili Crisp tins! Fishwife’s tinned fish is not the most affordable option on the grocery store shelf, but once in a while, I’m down to splurge on fish that’s high-quality and sustainably sourced. I love this collab because flavor is built right in thanks to the chili crisp, making quick meals seamless and delicious. I like mixing Kewpie mayo and a pinch of salt right into the can, and eating it over sushi rice, along with sliced avocado, smashed cucumbers and nori to balance out the meal.

In an effort to drink more matcha (and less full caffeine coffee) at home, I plan to add this on-sale matcha set to my cart this Black Friday. It comes with everything you need: the bowl with spout, bamboo teaspoon, whisk and whisk holder. It’d make a great holiday gift for any matcha lover on your list!
-Laura James, Commerce Editor

I love a good casserole recipe, so I’m on the hunt for a new casserole dish this Black Friday. I’ve had my eye on the Great Jones Hot Dish and plan to buy it during Cyber Week since it’s currently $40 off. The retro design paired with their four fun color options make this dish anything but boring. Plus, it’s oven-safe up to 500 degrees, dishwasher-safe, freezer-safe and broiler-safe.
-Morgan Faulkner, Editorial Assistant, Commerce

I’ve been meaning to invest in a portable charging station for months and with this one finally on sale for Black Friday, it feels like the right time to take the plunge. With snowy weather on the way, power outages can become a reality and this station can fuel a small space heater, phone and laptop for up to 10 hours.

Ever since this went viral on the Internet, I've been dying to get my hands on it! I can finally throw away the oversized rice bags I try to squeeze into my pantry and instead have this sleek setup hold my favorite grains. And it dispenses with just a push of a button! How easy is that?!

Every year, I play host for most major holidays. And while I do love to plan and prep a nice warm meal, I hate the scheduling game that comes with making sure everything is cooked perfectly and stays warm until it's time to eat. And I believe this warming mat might be the hosting hack I've been needing for years. Not only does this mat offer uniform heating at 9 different levels, but it also has a 4-hour auto shut-off feature which makes it the perfect fix-it-and-forget-it entertaining essential. Christmas Eve dinner is about to be amazing!

I’m going to buy a (second!) Bissell Little Green. I bought one earlier this year and am so impressed with its cleaning power – I use it for spills and stains on upholstery and even carpets. My mom was visiting recently and my 3-year-old son showed her how to use it after one of his art projects got a little messy – she loved it too and asked for one for Christmas.

I’m a baker so there are two things I’m always looking for in a kitchen apron: durability (when you’re covered in as much confectioners’ sugar and melted chocolate as I am, you need to launder your apron constantly) and pockets (for stashing small tools and gadgets you want to keep handy). Hedley & Bennett’s aprons out-perform others that I’ve tried in both of those areas. Plus, they come in a ton of colors and patterns. Needless to say, I’ll be stocking up during their Black Friday sale!

I'm buying the Smart Sweets Advent Calendar this weekend so that I can indulge in some sweet treats…guilt free! There's enough to indulge in during the holiday season but Smart Sweets gummies are a better alternative than my normal sweet treat. I also think it will be fun to have a sweet surprise throughout the usually stressful month of December!

Ever since I switched from a single-serve coffee maker to a French press, I’ve cared more about brewing quality coffee at home. I’ve had a lot of fun trying out different brands and roasts to figure out my preferences, so I love the idea of a coffee subscription. There are lots to choose from, but Atlas Coffee Club's Black Friday deal is a no-brainer: The first bag is totally free!
