2023 Black Friday Shopping & Gift Guide: Part 2

Atoya Home shopping bags happy

We are back with Part 2 y’all! Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the biggest days of the year for shopping deals!  Thank goodness we don’t have to leave our house to take advantage of these sales. A lot of stores start their Black Friday deals early, but some reserve the best deals on the best items for Black Friday or even Cyber Monday, which is the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Last week I released Part I of my shopping guide. And as promised, here is Part II of my shopping guide today. Read on for a sneak peak at my pics for:

  • Gifts for the Gentlemen
  • Gifts for the Luxe Lover
  • Gifts for the Trend Setter
  • Gifts for the Tech Enthusiast

So take a break from whatever you are cooking and do some scrolling and shopping- did I mention that some of these sales have already started?!

For the Gentlemen

This is probably the largest section of recommendations because I have a few guys in my life to shop for! Whether you’re shopping for your hubby, your Dad, or another special guy- these are my great picks for this year’s Black Friday Sales.

    Love these joggers. You may recognize them from Sunday’s post for the Ladies- thats because they are the same jogger. They are super cute, super comfortable, and perfect for a lazy Sunday or heading to the park for a run.
