Noise-canceling headphones

Bose QuietComfort 45 noise canceling headphones

$329 $199 at Amazon

$330 $200 at Target

Bang Olufsen Do-It-All headphones

$499 at Bang Olufsen

$499 at Neiman Marcus

I’ve lost too many tiny earbuds to count now, and I think it’s time to accept that delicate in-ear headphones simply aren’t for me. Instead, I’ll be using the Cyber Monday discounts to invest in a great pair of over-ear headphones that will be almost impossible to lose track of (hopefully). I’ve always been a fan of Bang & Olufsen, so the comfortable Beoplay HX style is top of my list. Noise cancelation is non-negotiable for busy flights and trains, and I hear great things about the Bose QuietComfort style. Either way, it’ll be a peaceful, quiet Cyber Weekend and beyond for me. —Abigail Malbon, acting global director for audience development, analytics, and social

Bang Olufsen Next-Gen wireless earbuds

Recently, one of my beloved earbuds fell out of my ear and rolled straight into a drain, meaning I’ve been resigned to a vastly inferior pair ever since. Sale season is the time to repurchase, but I’m determined to avoid further heartbreak, so it’s the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX wireless earbuds on my wishlist this year. These waterproof, noise-canceling headphones come in a few pretty colors and—importantly—sport a stick-shaped silhouette that helps keep them firmly in place. Lesson learned! —Charley Ward, commerce writer, Condé Nast Traveller UK

$399 $358 at Amazon

$399 at Bang Olufsen

A compact toiletry bag

Calpak Medium Clear cosmetic case

I have Calpak’s Large Clear cosmetic case, and it’s great for long trips—I can get absolutely all of my toiletries, makeup, and skincare products in there, including a full-size bottle of contact solution, plus my hairbrush. With that said, it’s way too big to bring in a carry-on, which is why I have my eyes on the medium clear case; I’m confident it will be the just-right size for long weekend trips. Like the large version, I love that you can see what’s inside without opening it up, so I’m not second-guessing what I’ve packed. —Madison Flager, senior commerce editor

$85 at Calpak

A tablet

Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet

$140 $80 at Amazon

Apple iPad 10th Generation

$518 $403 at Amazon

Lugging a heavy laptop while I'm traveling isn't ideal—it takes up a lot of space and weighs me down. I’m eyeing the Amazon Fire Tablet 10: It’s great for downloading books to read on the airplane thanks to its Kindle capabilities, but can also function as a platform to watch my favorite Netflix shows, catch up on emails, and create digital art. I'm also considering the Apple iPad 10, which is quite a bit more sophisticated and able to do more advanced things without crashing, run a lot of programs at once, and is better equipped to be used for catching up on work while on the go, especially when partnered with a detachable keyboard. —Jamie Spain, travel bookings editor

Wedding guest dresses

Lovers and Friends Noah Wrap dress

$218 $142 at Revolve

Reformation Nadira dress

$278 $209 at Reformation

I have a few weddings coming up, and am behind on finding dresses to wear. Thankfully, Revolve and Reformation are having some major sales—here are a few options I’m considering adding to my cart. —M.F.

Sleek cookware

Our Place Always Pan 2.0

$150 $99 at Our Place

Our Place Home Cook Duo

$315 $199 at Our Place

I’ve been eyeing the Our Place pots and pans for months. They do the job of several pieces in one, are nonstick and easy to clean, and yes—look much more aesthetically pleasing on a stovetop than traditional cookware. And since many of its bestsellers and bundles are on sale, I might finally go ahead and splurge. —Meaghan Kenny, associate commerce editor

Staub 4 Quart Cast-Iron Cocette

When I think of cold-weather comfort, I think of endless rounds of chili, stews, and soups. Having a Staub cocotte would really help that cause, as it is truly designed for long and slow simmering and cooking. Plus, it comes in beautiful colors, which means this would look just as great on my stove as it would on the table. —Arati Menon, global digital director

$330 $264 at Crate and Barrel

$297 at Amazon

Kitchen appliances

Breville Juice Fountain Compact Juicer

$100 at Amazon

$100 at Crate and Barrel

Nespresso Vertuo Next coffee maker and milk frother

$240 $156 at Amazon

$230 $167 at Nespresso

I have always been a big fan of juices and even worked at a juice bar as a teenager. I’ve begun adding them more regularly to my shopping list and have been thinking about cutting out the middleman and juicing at home. I’ve had my eye on a few juicers, but living in Manhattan means I’m only afforded so much counter space. I’ve landed on one from Breville that’s compact, fast, and easy to clean. While on this DIY kick, a coffee maker is next on my list. I do enjoy a nice cup of regular coffee, but I also want the option to make everything from espresso shots to frothy lattes, so I've got my eye on the Nespresso coffee maker. —Paris Wilson, commerce producer

Chic flats

Rothy's The Point II

$155 $125 at Rothy's

Rothy's The Ballet Flat

$135 $115 at Rothy's

Flats are back, but let’s be honest, it’s tough to find a pair that’s actually comfortable enough to wear for more than a few hours. Rothy’s recently redesigned one of its core products, The Point II, to be a bit more supportive—now I just have to decide which color to get. —M.F.

A winter coat

Girlfriend Collective Midi Recycled Puffer

$258 $167 at Girlfriend Collective

Girlfriend Collective Packable Puffer

$148 $59 at Girlfriend Collective

I recently got my hands on a new winter jacket from Girlfriend Collective and I haven't stopped raving about it since to anyone who will listen—friends, coworkers, even my mom! After seeing it on me, my mom admitted she wanted one of these new warm puffers for herself. Luckily, this cozy jacket—and several other styles—are heavily discounted as part of the brand's Cyber Monday sale. I'm snagging one for my mom as a Christmas gift and I can't wait for her to love it as much as I do. It stands up to temps as low as 18 degrees and is wind-resistant, water-repellent, and features compressive cuffs that prevent cold air from sneaking up the sleeves. P.S. It's available in a long and cropped version, too. —M.K.

A reliable portable charger

Iniu portable charger

$26 $18 at Amazon

Anker Nano Power Bank

$30 $20 at Amazon

Whether you’re traveling across the world or just going out to lunch, you will likely find yourself with a phone that’s almost dead at a time that is extremely inconvenient. I’m looking to stock up on a new portable charger, or buy a few for gifts for friends who always seem to have their phones on one percent. Right now I’m looking at the Iniu portable charger; it has a super slim design that will easily fit in a purse or backpack. I'm also eyeing this mini charger from Anker—it's small enough to fit in my pocket. —J.S.

Comfortable socks

Bombas cushioned no-show socks

$13 $10 at Bombas

Bombas lightweight calf socks (eight-pack)

$128 $115 at Bombas

I can’t get enough of Bombas’s no-show socks, so I’m hoping to stock up on some more of those, as well as some calf-height socks to wear this winter. —M.F.

An air purifier

Shark Air Purifier

It’s definitely a sign that you’ve reached adulthood once you get excited about seeing appliances on sale, but I am unashamedly psyched about scoring this compact air purifier from Shark. Its air filter lasts up to a year before it needs replacement, and it broadcasts the quality of your air in real time. This feels like a must-have when you live in a city. —Alexandra Sanidad, research director

$180 $130 at Target

Skincare favorites

Cyber Monday sales are also a great time to take stock of my skincare routine and repurchase my favorites, like the Clinique Moisture Surge and the Peace Out Skincare acne dots. I swear by these two products to keep my skin hydrated and blemish-free. —M.K.

Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator moisturizer

$46 at Nordstrom

Peace Out Skincare acne dots

$19 at Sephora

$19 at Peace Out Skincare

Linen sheets

Cultiver linen sheets

I’m always singing the praises of linen bedding, which is so much more breathable and cozier (hello, winter!) than other fabrics. After years of trying out various brands, I have come to love Cultiver, which is crafted from pure flax linen and is pre-washed for that soft, lived-in feel right from the start. Plus, the colorways are lovely—especially the earth tones—and you can mix and match. It is however, one of the pricier brands, so any deals are always handy! —A.M.

$410 $308 at Cultiver

Cashmere sweaters

J.Crew cashmere turtleneck sweater

I have a big six-week trip coming up this winter (for both family and work) and I want to pack smartly by bringing versatile pieces that can work in different environments, weather-wise and scene-wise. I was looking through my drawer of sweaters and realized: I don’t have a simple black or white cashmere sweater. Not in a crewneck, not in a turtleneck; not in charcoal or cream. Outrageous! A weird commitment to the colors cognac and navy in my twenties (my unfortunate Ravenclaw Head Boy era) has finally shot me in the foot. So now I’m on the lookout—and because Loro Piana doesn’t do Cyber Monday sales, I’m refreshing the J.Crew and Banana Republic sites this week every time I answer an email. —Matt Ortile, associate editor

$180 $140 at J.Crew

Beautiful food gifts

I’m trying to be really intentional with my purchases at the moment—let’s be honest, there’s a lot I want, but not a ton I need—so my Cyber Monday purchasing will be focused on gifts this year. I’m all about giving things that are practical and will actually be used, but still feel decadent and special. That usually ends up being slightly fancy foodstuffs, like Italian maraschino cherries in hand-painted jars, splurgy olive oils, maybe some tinned Maine lobster, or gift cards to cheese shops. Usually there’s a sense of some place, based on where I want to transport the recipient to. Cyber Monday is my moment to get even more bang for my buck. —Megan Spurrell, senior editor
