The Black Friday Sales I’m Excited About
I’m not a huge shopper and Black Friday is not my Super Bowl.
My idea of a good Black Friday is never leaving the house (it’s basically my dream come true that most Black Friday shopping is now online). It’s super easy to feel overwhelmed by all the deals or feel a false urgency to spend money as quickly as you can.
On the other hand, I love a good deal, so if there are things you’ve been eyeing already, this is a great time to purchase those items at the lowest price of the year and then get back to a fun jigsaw puzzles.
These are the products I get asked about the most and that I love and use myself.
Have a wonderful day, whether you do any shopping or not!
The Black Friday Sales I’m Excited About
SAVVY READING & SAVVY MATH
You’ve probably heard me talk about Savvy a million times but truly there is nothing I’m more passionate about. This real-time reading or math coaching for readers 4-14 has been incredibly amazing both for my own girls and thousands of other readers who have joined since we launched. All the details about Savvy here, and through Monday night, you can get $25 off every month of any subscription with the code JANSSEN25. I promise, nothing you’ll buy this weekend will pay off for your kids more than helping than become confident and capable readers or feel like math rock stars. You can ALSO do a trial class for $5 to test it out (and then you’ll have a week after the trial class to still use the Black Friday discount!)
This has been my #1 requested deal this year and they’re SO HARD to come by. But today, the Yoto Player and Yoto Mini, cards and accessories are on sale for 20% off. Even better, you can use the code AFF-JANSSEN10 for 10% off a Yoto Player or Yoto Mini for first time customers! I have a whole post about the Yoto (I call it my Yoto 101 post) and why we love it!
I did NOT think these would go on sale this year because they are brand new releases and last time that happened they didn’t go on sale at all that holiday season. Good news for all of us – they’re on sale! If you’re trying to decide which version to get, this video can help you figure out what is right for you!
BABE LASH
I started using this eyelash serum a couple of years ago and I’m totally impressed by it. My eyelashes look better than they EVER have – thicker, longer, and stronger. I use the eyelash serum in the morning after I wash my face but before I put on my makeup. Right now, the whole site is on sale AND you can stack it with my code JANSSEN for an additional 20% so it’s the BEST price you’ll basically ever see on this.
I started using this nail polish and their mani system three years ago in September (happy birthday to me!) and I’ve LOVED it. Their colors are so fun and their system makes it so much easier to get a professional level manicure at home! Usually my code is only for 20% of the mani system, but right now, you can get 25% off ANYTHING on their site with the code 25OFF! (Here’s a post with my favorite colors and do not skip the dry drops!).
CHELSEA BOOTS
These are my most worn shoes in the winter – I bought them with my birthday money over three years ago and they still look basically brand new even after three years of constant wear. They’re easy to dress up or down and really comfy after a couple of wears. They’re 50% off right now!
Raycon Earbuds
I LOVE these earbuds and use them virtually every day. My husband and my 14 year old both have a pair and I just ordered a pair for my 12 year old for Christmas. They’re super comfortable and on sale right now!
SHINE BB CREAM
I first started using this BB cream about six years ago and I’ve never gone back to anything else – I love that you all love it as much as I do. It goes on so smoothly and hits that perfect combination of making your skin look amazing without looking or feeling like you’re wearing a bunch of foundation. I use the color Awaken and I always have a second tube in my drawer so that I don’t ever run out. Use the code BF24 for their Black Friday sale!
I love Kindle Unlimited for reading on my Kindle and right now you can grab three months for 99 cents (even if you don’t have a Kindle, you can read on the free Kindle app on your phone or tablet). Take two seconds to grab it and then turn off auto-renew immediately if you’d like!
I love Audible’s audiobook membership and we use it daily at our house. Right now, it’s $0.99/month for three months PLUS a $20 credit, which includes both access to the Audible Plus library plus an audiobook of your choice each month which you can keep forever (even if you cancel).
I’ve been using Dime Skin Care since January of 2021 and I cannot rave enough about it. I use THE WORKS package morning and evening and I’m also obsessed with their Blue Facial Oil and the Super Firm Serum (which I told my mom was like Botox in a Bottle). My full review of it is here. Right now, it’s 30% off, which is the biggest discount they ever offer, with the code JANSSEN30.
We started using these at Christmas when my mom bought a set several years ago and my kids loved them so much we bought out own set. The best part is that they come with color coded music (digital or DVD) you can play on your TV (kind of like Guitar Hero) and our whole family loves it! Use my code JANSSEN.
GEOMETRY TOWELS
I have seen these kitchen towels alllllll over Instagram for the past couple of years and I finally ordered some about two years. They live up to the hype (I’ve taken them to a neighborhood favorite things party the last two years and both times they got stolen the maximum amount of time! They’re the only towels I want to use now in the kitchen and they have such fun patterns that they make me happy every time I see them.
Amazon Music is FREE for 3 months right now (perfect for all the holiday music!) AND they just made it even better by including a free Audible audiobook listen every month. Literally almost every audiobook Audible has in their catalog is available to choose from which means you can listen to brand-new releases or buzzy bestsellers with no wait. Do NOT miss this deal!
This is one of my favorite deals every year – Hulu for 99 cents a month for the whole year! If you’ve had it before, have a spouse or family member sign up with their email instead. And it will give you the option to add Disney+ for another $2 if you want!
I mean, you know I LOVE our Beddys zipper bedding on the girls’ bedroom. They are a lifesaver for my girls and their bunkbed (making a bunkbed is my idea of torture and I’m a competent adult. No way could my 7 year old do it). Everything is 25% off and if you get 3 or more items, it’s 30% off! No code needed and you can get bonus gift cards!
We love our Gabb Watches – we have one for each of the three little girls, plus a Gabb phone that Ella uses and it’s so convenient when they go to a friend’s house or soccer practice or somewhere without us. I wrote a whole review of it here, and they’re offering a FREE watch or Gabb Phone 4 or $150 off the Gabb Phone 4 Pro with a FREE accessories for their Black Friday Deal!
BELT BAG
I took this bag EVERYWHERE in Japan and Paris and Croatia – I used it every single day – and it really is a perfect summer bag. Hands-free, just big enough for the essentials (wallet, Kindle, phone, lip gloss, a small snack), and looks good with everything. The whole site is on sale with the code BlackFriday.

For the watercolor class, I’m a little confused. Is it a live class that you join w/other kids or is it an online video that you watch. Also, can you watch the classes more than once? I’m so interested in this and I’ve looked at the site a few times but am not sure if I’m overlooking that info. Any help is appreciated! Thank you for posting about this!
It’s an online class that you can watch at your own pace, whenever you want. And you have lifetime access so you can watch them as many times as you want.
Where is your cute wrapping paper from?
The black and white number paper is actually sheets from my wall calendar! https://amzn.to/3ocbZdo
The yoto player code is not working with the Black Friday code so it won’t let me get a discount on the player using your code and accessories with the Black Friday code. Does your 10% off work of everything every other day?
It worked for me when I copied and pasted the code into a new browser
Do you know if kid kindles will be on sale?
They aren’t, unfortunately. If it were me, I’d buy the Kids Paperwhite for the best bang for my buck.
Do you still have a code for the drawing class?

Thank you for the Yoto code. Finally took the plunge!
I can’t get the Shine code to work. Does it only work on the BB cream?
Thanks for the round up!
The code isn’t live until 9 am this morning!
Are others not able to use the 10% yoto code? It is telling me that a discount is already applied so I can’t put another one. (I assume it means the 20% Black Friday discount.)
