I was at the biggest house I’ve ever seen in my life in the Hamptons a couple of years ago when I smelled something lovely: a Capri Blue candle in Volcano. I thought, “Well, there’s something I can afford.” It’s $30, long-burning and beautifully packaged — great host gift. No word on if Anthropologie will do a Black Friday sale.

 I love my $50 Swatch watch. It’s not quite millennial pink, but it’s dainty, feminine and petite enough that it blends in with any outfit. The silicone band is also quite comfortable. I like that it’s sweat- and water-resistant, which means I have no qualms about wearing it when I work out. If pink is not your thing, Swatch also has a maroon and aqua version. Swatch’s Black Friday deal lets you buy a second watch from $30 to $60.

 I have this Rebecca Minkoff Nylon Tote ($195) and the site is offering 25% off $100+ purchases with the code BLACK25. I put my gym clothes and sneakers, books, lunch bag, planner, etc. in it and I love that it adds negligible weight to my load. That said, if I could go back in time, I would buy this $98 army green tote — I think it’s more fun.

If you’re a Hanky Panky fan, you know that they have an insanely high price per square inch of fabric and that they almost never go on sale. Right now, on their site, there are plenty of options for $13.50, down from $20.

I got a Natori Shangri-Larobe as a gift years ago and after finally ripping it, I ordered three: one for me and two for gifts. It’s the perfect weight for a robe — light, but not thin — and its length keeps my legs warm enough. The cotton is very smooth and soft. You can’t beat Nordstrom Rack’s price of $39.97, but it’s possible other department stores will have it for cheaper this weekend.

I got my first zit today in two months. I have consistently had at least one zit at a time since I was in puberty. The only difference is that I’ve been using Drunk Elephant’s C-Firma Day Serum. I don’t know exactly what it does, but I’m sure it’s a miracle worker — it better be for $80. My skin has been very clear and moisturized since I started using it two and a half months ago. I’m a Sephora loyalist, but Derm Store is offering 25 percent off through Thanksgiving with the code GIVE, 30 percent off Friday with FRIDAY, WEEKEND on Saturday and Sunday and MONDAY on Monday.

Last year, I gave this Winky Lux Flower Balm to three friends and forgot about it, until they all told me they used it almost every day and loved how it looked on them. It looks clear in the tube, save for a pretty little flower inside, but turns pink after it reacts to your skin’s pH levels. It’s only $14 and the flower inside makes it a little more exciting than normal lip balm or lipstick. Winky Lux is giving customers who spend more than $20 gifts on Black Friday.

I guess it’s weird to give someone pimple patches for Christmas, but I think it’s all about how you frame it. “I personally love these pimple patches, and I know you were complaining about your pimples, so … ” But these COSRX pimple patches really work; you wear them at night and they remove bacteria and gunk for your zit. I was skeptical, but I tried it on a very deep cystic zit (back when I got zits) and it went away after 2 nights — and I thought that one was a 3-weeker, at least. They’re only $5 but Soko Glam is offering a 30 percent discount this weekend with SOKO17. I also love the British M hair oil, which I think has prevented lots of split ends for me, but it’s quite expensive, even with the discount. Looks like the discount begins on Thanksgiving.

I gave my friend this Loeffler Randall purse for her birthday and now it’s her go-to bag. It fits a phone, small wallet and keys and the horsehair tassel adds a chic touch. It’s on sale for Black Friday for $137. I have the large tote version, which is on sale right now for $317 — I get lots of compliments when I wear it.

My boyfriend is in the middle of Ron Chernow’s

“Grant“ and he loves it. Yes, lots of men love reading about the Civil War, but my boyfriend is actually really enjoying the parts about Grant’s romance with his wife, Julia. Barnes and Noble is offering a 25 percent off coupon in-store this weekend, or you can get 20 percent off your whole purchase online.

Speaking of gendered book picks, if you haven’t read Elena Ferrante’s Neopolitan novels, they’re great, and anyway, I have male friends who love them, too. I think the set of four is a great gift for a girlfriend (just don’t give them to someone you have a kind of competitive or tense friendship with).

The Leuchtturm1917 ($19.95 at B&N) is a good size for a planner. It’s not as big as most day planners but it’s not so small that you’ll have to write in tiny letters to write your tasks. It’s also very sturdy and comes in pretty colors. These are blank lined notebooks, so you’ll have to format it yourself, which I prefer.

If you don’t own a S’well water bottle, you probably think people just buy them because they look cool. Well, you’re wrong! They are worth the hype. They keep your drink cold or hot for way longer than it will take you to finish your drink, they keep your hands dry and they’re very durable. They don’t go on sale too often, but Nordstrom has a few for 25 percent off ($26.26 to $33.75) right now.

Flywheel is participating in Cyber Weekend by offering up to 20 percent off. Still expensive, but it’s something.
