November was very much the peak of shopping madness. Between
Black Friday sales and the ever-growing pressure to check gifts off our lists before December hits full swing, this month was all about strategic cart-loading (our
Well-Received gift guides showcase the best tokens of appreciation for everyone in your life, from
your mom to your
pet-owner friends ) and showing our readers all the best deals to snag before they sell out. According to anonymous data gleaned from our November Most Wanted stories, you all showed up and showed out when it came to making the most of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Last month’s top performers ranged from cold-weather staples from
Nordstrom’s excellent fashion sales to
unique advent calendars that make this season feel just a little more special.
Ahead, we’re spotlighting the standout products our readers couldn’t get enough of — for their giftees and for themselves. The best part? Many of them are still deeply discounted, even after
Cyber Monday .

Madewell Suiting Bomber Jacket
This brown plaid jacket is winter prep perfection, possessing that special ability to tie together an otherwise casual look, like a pullover hoodie and denim skirt , as seen on this model. What makes this even sweeter is the fact that it’s 20% off.

OLEHENRIKSEN Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment
Ole Henriksen’s lip treatment became a TikTok-viral hit (and immediately sold out) when Suni Lee used it during the Olympics . We can’t say enough good things about the thick-but-never-greasy formula, enriched with hydration-boosting peptides and kokum butter. Slather this on your lips before bed, and it will make any dry patches disappear overnight.

Nordstrom Cashmere Gloves
When it comes to practical gifts , you can’t beat a pair of cashmere gloves. Our readers have been bagging these touchscreen-compatible ones left and right, presumably for their loved ones and their own commute.

Flamingo Estate Roma Heirloom Tomato Candle
The fresh, herbaceous scent of tomatoes is everywhere right now, thanks to the growing popularity of tomato home fragrances. This candle from Flamingo Estate smells just like a ripe tomato plant, made extra inviting by notes of tarragon and black pepper.

In Good Taste 2024 Wine Advent Calendar

Le Creuset The Heritage Set Baking Dishes
ICYMI: Everyone wants Le Creuset cookware this holiday season. A recent warehouse sale in Hampshire, UK caused major traffic gridlock, with people waiting in line for up to four hours. Thanks to Nordstrom’s year-end sale , you can now get your hands on the much-coveted baking dishes at 30% off.

Patrick Ta Major Dimension Eye Illusion Eyeshadow Duo
Anyone who’s on top of Beautytok knows that Patrick Ta’s eyeshadow duos were, by far, the most talked-about product launch last month. While the $42 price tag has raised a few eyebrows, beauty editors have been more than impressed by its high pigmentation, which imparts a pretty shine onto the eyelids.
