Top Amazon Black Friday Deals
I went through the entire list of deals and put together one-stop shopping lists of some of our favorite things in particular categories! If you click on the lists below, they’ll take you a shopping list for our favorites
Games – board games, party games, outdoor games, kids board games, and so on!
Home & Kitchen Essentials – serving trays, cake stands, charcuterie boards, outdoor speakers, also great hostess gifts! Plus tons of our favorite kitchen tools!
Everything else – anything that isn’t a game or something for your house goes right here!
There are also some Amazon items in each of the lists below but if you want all of the Amazon sales, the lists above are going to be your best bet!
Top Game/Activity Deals
Since you know I love my games, I thought I’d start with my highest recommend game deals! There’s everything from backyard games to kids games and a little bit of everything in between! Games make great gifts too!
Ponies Game
This isn’t actually called ponies, pretty sure it’s called Derby Dash, but my family calls it ponies. It’s a horse racing dice rolling game and absolutely hilarious. Easily my family’s favorite new game of the year. I played it once and bought it the next day! I haven’t seen it on sale yet so this Black Friday sale is a great deal! Also, it’s not really betting – the betting is chosen for you – so it’s great for all ages from kids to adults!
These are a huge hit with kids of all ages. My 9 year old plays with them and so does my 3 old. And when I say play, I mean they play for hours. This set is 70% off for Black Friday and includes enough to make all sorts of creations!
I’m always raving about Osmo because my boys love it so much. This is the starter kit and an AMAZING deal. There are also tons of other games on sale that go with this starter kit, but this is a great place to start. I love that while it uses an iPad (or other Tablet), the tablet is really just the screen and kids are doing all of the action with actual pieces like tiles, pizza ingredients, and more.
We have a couple of editions of this book – the family, couple, and one other one. The basic idea is that there are 50 different activities outlined in the book but you don’t know what they are until you scratch them off! There are free options, options at home, options out, and so on. It’s been a blast going through them with my family! And this family edition is $20 off right now!
I love reading books and being able to have a bunch of books at my fingertips has been a game-changer for my reading habits! If you know a reader who doesn’t have to have an actual paper book, a Kindle makes a great gift! (Or just buy one for yourself). It’s 40% off right now, one of the best deals I’ve seen all year!
Get 50% off a 6 or 12 month subscription to Little Passports, which is a kids activity and education subscription box. They have options for all sorts of ages, themes, and more. We’ve had one for my boys for years, and they love getting a new box full of surprises every month!
I didn’t want this post to be only Amazon deals but I did put together a full list of the best Amazon games on sale for Black Friday on my Amazon Favorites page. You can see the full list for shopping here!
Top Home and Kitchen Deals
If you’re looking to stock up on things for your home or kitchen, these are some of my personal favorites!
Charcuterie Boards
Everyone always asks me where I get my charcuterie boards, and I just stock up on different shapes and sizes when they go on sale! Right now Amazon has TONS of different versions on sale for Black Friday, it’s a great time to grab one or a few!
I’ve raved about this before, but we absolutely LOVE our Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven combination. We use it more than pretty much anything else in our kitchen and it’s currently on sale for 20% off – perfect time to buy!
I can’t tell you how many different sets of Corelle dishes I have and everything on their site is currently 40% off with the code JINGLE40. They have tons of just pretty designs but the ones that have sold me are the character designs like Disney, Star Wars (Baby Yoda plates are SO cute), and even Harry Potter! Both Corelle and Pyrex (food storage) dishes are all 40% off!
If you’re in need of a stand mixer, KitchenAid is definitely my favorite! And they have tons of items on sale right now including stand mixers plus all sorts of different attachments! Sales go as high as $200 off!
If you’ve had your eye on a Cricut machine (or you own one and want more accessories or materials), Michaels is having a huge sale on most Cricut machines PLUS 50% off all Cricut materials and accessories. That’s huge and a great reason to stock up! I have a Cricut Joy, Explore Air 2, and Maker and love them all!
Before I had a very curious and active kiddo, we had one of these, and I loved using it for things like fruit, potatoes, and more! It’s sturdy and each bin holds a lot! And it’s on sale for almost 70% off!
I love my big food processor when I need to process a lot, but it’s a hassle to get out and put together. This little guy is the perfect size for doing quick jobs. It’d make a great gift for someone, a great gift exchange gift, or just something for you! And it’s on sale for Black Friday cheaper than I’ve ever seen it!
This is one of my favorite purchases of the past few years and should be on your list to buy if you blow up balloons ever. It’s 50% off for Black Friday, and a no-brainer!
I’m obsessed with this three tiered party tray! It’s gorgeous and can be packed high with appetizers, snacks, and desserts! Plus, the trays all come out for easy loading!
While this can be used to keep garnishes chilled, I love the idea of using it for other things as well like dessert dips or cream cheese or other things that you want chilled for a party! Plus, it’s actually really stylish to look at!
And this list wouldn’t be complete without a chip and dip tray of some sort but this one’s cool because the design is unique AND it comes with a lazy Susan underneath for spinning! Perfect for serving your favorite fruit dip or savory one!
World Market has tons of great items on sale for Black Friday including 20% off holiday plates and holiday baking items, and I’m obsessed with this plate. Plus, you can get an additional 10% if you choose store-pick up!
So I’ll be the very first one to say I rarely open cookbooks anymore (hello food blogs), but I love getting themed ones like this to add to my collection! If you’re shopping for someone who is a fan of something like Harry Potter, Books A Million has a bunch of these kind of cookbooks on sale for Black Friday! Harry Potter, Princesses, etc.
I have a page a day calendar on my desk that makes me laugh every morning when I sit down to work! Calendars.com has TONS of different options that make great gift exchange gifts, stocking stuffers, and actual gifts for people. There’s everything from dogs to Jeopardy and my favorite a daily sarcasm one. All of the calendars are on sale for Black Friday plus if you spend $50, you can get additional 20% off!
I didn’t want this post to be only Amazon deals but I did put together a full list of the best Amazon games on sale for Black Friday on my Amazon Favorites page. You can see the full list for shopping here!
Deals on My Favorite Things
Okay so now this list is just a bunch of random things that I just personally love. They make great gifts, great self-care gifts, and just good purchases all around. They just don’t fit into any of the other categories above!
Cozy Earth Pajamas and Sheets
If you use my code PLAYPARTYPLAN40 and the link below, you can get 40% off everything on the site, which is actually better than any of the Black Friday deals they’re running. They have the most comfortable bamboo pajama sets, pajama separates, and sheets. The sheets are ridiculous.
Okay so I know a lot of people swear by Erin Condren planners, but I’m an Erin Condren notebook addict. They have tons of different designs, colors, and options (coiled, non-coiled, bullet, etc.). Plus, you can personalize them with your name, your favorite quotes, etc. I stock up every year on Black Friday and they honestly just make me happy to use!
My grandma got a subscription to highlights magazine for both of my boys a couple of years ago and it’s been the gift that just keeps giving! Every month there’s a magazine for my older son and one for my younger son (they have them for different ages). They’re full of activities like hidden pictures, stories, and even things you can do as a family! My boys love them, and it’s been one of the best gifts! Subscriptions and everything else on Highlight’s site is 30% off!
I used to say that Sanuk yoga slings were my favorite travel shoes but now I’ve expanded and am obsessed with all Sanuk shoes. Most of their shoes are made with a yoga mat bottom and are ridiculously comfortable. I have probably twenty pairs in different varieties so you could say they’re my favorites! They’re having a sale of up to 50% off as well as additional 25% off sale prices!
Huge sales on my favorite graphic tees and sweatshirts from Cents of Style. They are soft and somehow just fit perfect! I just ordered myself a bunch of holiday ones but they also have a ton of ones for year round too!
It wouldn’t be a list of my favorites without including Disney on the list somewhere. ShopDisney is one of my favorite places to get Disney toys, shirts, games, and decorations! And they have a sale going on for 30% off sitewide that can be used on all sorts of gifts!
I’m all about experience gifts rather than things, so I’ve put together a list of my favorite experience gifts for any age. I’ve done all of these things and can recommend them all! If you need more experience gift ideas, I’ve got an entire post of experience gifts for kids!
The Escape Game Gift Cards
The Escape Game is the gold standard in escape rooms and with locations around the country, it’s a great experience gift for anyone! Gift cards are 20% off and can be used by individuals or you can get an entire game gift card!
Each of the parks is having their own Black Friday sale (like B1G1 50% off passes and 35% off tickets) but I can tell you from personal experience, we love all of the parks. We’ve done both SeaWorld in Texas and in Florida plus Busch Gardens in Florida and Virginia! Animals, attractions, and so much fun! Now is the best time to buy tickets or passes!SeaWorld Texas deals hereSeaWorld Orlando deals hereBusch Gardens OrlandoBusch Gardens Virginia
Disneyland isn’t called the happiest place on earth for no reason. If you’re planning a Disneyland trip any time in the next few years (or ever considering it), Get Away Today is currently having a Black Friday sale where you can get adult tickets at kid prices with the promo code BLACKFRIDAY or using my link. Tickets are good through 2024! They also have deals on Walt Disney World trips if you want to do Florida instead of California!
Give someone a gift card for Pack Up and Go, a surprise vacation company that plans out a vacation for the recipient! We did one a few years ago as a babymoon and love the idea for a gift for someone who doesn’t want to plan a trip but would love to travel! If you use the promo code ExploreMore, you can get $100 off a trip!
Oh and on top of that, make sure to head over to my Instagram page where I’m giving TWO of my readers a $500 Amazon gift card . That could buy you a whole lot of Amazon goodies (or one really big one).
But hurry and go enter because the giveaway closes on Monday, November 28th at 11:59PM CST!

I downloaded your Thanksgiving Outburst game and we played it yesterday. It was a huge hit with lots of laughter. Would you believe the final score was 112 to 114! (We did award extra points!) Thankx for the fun.
