Black Friday 2022: Prioritize Your Health & Wellness With This Guide (Plus Perfect Holiday Gifts!)
It’s that time of year again… Black Friday. It comes around every year, and it can be a great chance to snag the things you’ve been needing, but don’t want to pay full price for, especially if you’re getting ready for a new baby or your little one is quickly growing out of their clothes!
Alongside some great deals, we want to highlight smaller businesses and products we love — even if they might not be on sale! It’s always important to buy things we love and not be swayed by those big discounts, so here’s a round-up of products you’ll love on Black Friday 2022 & beyond.
Top tips for finding the best Black Friday 2022 deals & staying mindful of your finances
1. Be prepared and make a ‘must-have’ wishlist before the Black Friday 2022 deals land
Make a wish list of the things you ideally want to snag in the Black Friday sales so that you know what to search for! If you want a stroller, for example, it’s worth doing some research ahead of time and deciding which features are important to you and what brands you want, then when it comes to Black Friday you won’t get sidetracked by other deals.

2. Know your budget before the Black Friday 2022 sales start
When you’re shopping in the Black Friday 2022 sales, it’s really easy to think you’ve snagged a good deal because of a big price drop. And yes, we all love a good bargain, but you should try to know your budget beforehand and stick to it!
3. Sign up for email alerts and reminders to get the best Black Friday 2022 deals
Most companies will offer email alerts for their Black Friday sales and if you’ve had your eye on a certain brand for a while now, it’s worth getting the deals straight to your inbox so you don’t miss out! You can unsubscribe right after the sales are over…
4. Shop early to get the best Black Friday deals
Remember, whilst Black Friday 2022 officially happens on Friday 25th of November, lots of deals start - and even end - early, so keep your eye out throughout this week to make sure you don’t miss anything!
5. Only buy products you would have bought anyway!
Now, this is the biggest tip we could give you — this Black Friday, only buy items and products that you would have bought anyway, otherwise you’re not saving anything, you’re spending more than you ever would have! On top of that, we like to stay mindful at a time when we’re encourage to spend & consume — if you stick to what you need then you’ll take yourself away from this cycle!
Black Friday deal #1: Focus on self-care with these deals
During these especially busy months, it’s easy for new mamas or mamas-to-be to forget to check in with yourself.
We always encourage you to practice self-love, and that can mean different things to everyone. If there’s a product you’ve been wanting but haven’t wanted to splurge then now might be a good time to start researching – and luckily we’ve done most of the hard work for you. Here are some ideas:
Skincare
Sometimes facing your skincare routine at night can be overwhelming when you just want to jump into bed, but we really love to think of it as a form of self-care. Bloom & Blossom is a brand we love with tons of skincare gift sets and other natural, sustainable wellness products — from skincare for mama and baby to sleep-aid — that are worth checking out! If you’re not looking for a set yourself, this one is a fantastic gift for someone you love.
Reading
Wanting to get into more reading next year? Best Buy (US) and Amazon (UK) have good deals on the Kindle this Black Friday (and year-round if you’re not ready to purchase just yet).
Another great form of self-care: heading into your local bookshop, taking your time to look around, and picking out something that draws your eye!
Black Friday deal #2: Focus on fitness with these deals
