While the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale events are arguably the best times of the year to pick up most gadgets, they’re also a great time to save on subscriptions and services you may already have or that you’ve been wanting to try.

Nordstrom’s Black Friday sale is concentrated on a few brands, but there’s still plenty to choose from, including a cheap, plush throw blanket and an artichoke-shaped Dutch oven from our favorite brand (Staub, not Le Creuset — scandal!).

Another key advantage of shopping on Amazon during Black Friday is their price guarantee: If you purchase an item and its price drops before December 2nd, Amazon will refund you the difference. This assurance means that you can buy with confidence and know that you’re getting the best possible deal without having to wait for prices to drop further.
