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) and spending very little time shopping. 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 my 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 BLACKFRIDAY2023. 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.

This has been my #1 requested code this year and they’re SO HARD to come by. But today, the Yoto Player (not the Yoto Mini), cards and accessories are on sale for 20% off. I HIGHLY recommend you first buy a Yoto Club membership and then you’ll get another 10% off discount on top of the Black Friday deal for your whole order. I have a whole post about the Yoto Player here (and one about the Yoto Mini here) and why we love it!
We’ve tried many tablets over the years and this is our favorite at a reasonable price! We use it for audiobooks, digital art creation, games and shows on road trips, and plenty of other things – we have two of them! And right now they’re on a great Black Friday discount.

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 last 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 SHINE25! (Here’s a post with my favorite colors and do not skip the dry drops!).
Nordstrom - Women's - Miller 2 Water Resistant Boot in Black Pebbled at Nordstrom, Size 8.5CHELSEA BOOTS
These are my most worn shoes in the winter – I bought them with my birthday money over two years ago and they still look basically brand new even after two years of constant wear. They’re easy to dress up or down and really comfy after a couple of wears. They’re 30% off right now!
Zoom imageSHINE BB CREAM
I first started using this BB cream about four 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 BF23 for their Black Friday sale!
I love Kindle Unlimited for reading on my Kindle and right now you can grab three free months (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 $5.95/month for four 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! Right now they’re discounted PLUS you can stack my code JANSSEN on top of that.
GEOMETRY TOWELS
I have seen these kitchen towels alllllll over Instagram for the past couple of years and I finally ordered some. They live up to the hype! 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. You can use the code JANSSEN15 for 15% off on TOP of their 20% off Black Friday sale!
MIXHERS
I discovered MixHers last year and my current favorite is the HerGreens sticks. They taste delicious and it’s the easiest way for me to get my vitamins in – I usually just stir it into a glass of cold water between breakfast and lunch and it feels like a nice little refreshing treat. My discount code is JANSSENBRADSHAW which this weekend is good for 30% off.
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!
BOOKROO
We’ve been Bookroo subscribers for years and it just keeps getting better. They have four monthly book box options – the board book box comes with three books a month, while all the other options have two books per month: the picture book box, the junior chapter book box for readers about 7-10  and the middle grade chapter book box for readers about 9-12. And for all the subscriptions except the middle grade box, they do their own editions so they form a bookshelf rainbow with the spines, which I LOVE. Use the code BF2023 for 25% off your first 3-, 6-, or 12-month subscription to any new club!
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 50% this weekend with the code JANSSEN, plus you get three free month of service.
BELT BAG
I took this bag EVERYWHERE in Japan and Paris – 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 BlackFriday30.
Any questions you have about any of these? I’m happy to try to answer!

  1. 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!

  2. 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?

  3. 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.)
