I Worked an Anthropologie for Years—Here’s What I’m Buying on Black Friday

This year’s Anthropologie Black Friday deals have finally started to arrive. And as a former Anthro employee—I was a sales associate for a few years, helping countless people pick the right gifts—and now as a Glamour shopping editor, I can tell you with authority that this year’s discounts are good. Right now, shoppers can take an extra 40% off all sale items, which is just about as steep as the brand’s sales get. (It’s on par with the employee discount, which I miss dearly, by the way.)

Now, as someone who lives and breathes e-commerce, it’s clear to me that this isn’t just a little extra dopamine hit; it’s one of the very best Black Friday deals you’ll find this year. To help you make the most of your money and get a head start on gifts for everyone on your list, I’ve pulled together the can’t-miss deals you need to know about now. From the candles that make everyone happy—cough, Secret Santa gifts, cough—to trendy clothes you’ll love for seasons to come, these are the best early Anthropologie Black Friday deals to shop before they disappear for good. (And don’t worry: I won’t tell if you end up keeping everything for yourself.)
