Williams-Sonoma Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

November 3, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Cyber Monday 2025 is approaching quickly, and Williams-Sonoma shoppers will likely see familiar savings continue rather than a brand-new round of markdowns. Although the promotional messaging typically shifts from Black Friday to Cyber Monday once Thanksgiving weekend ends, the underlying discounts historically remain in place for more than a week. Here is a breakdown of how the retailer usually handles the post-Black Friday period, what types of products tend to be included, and the price ranges often seen during this extended sale.

Will There Be Separate Cyber Monday Deals?

Based on Williams-Sonoma’s past holiday playbook, Cyber Monday does not usually introduce a fresh set of markdowns, except for maybe a handful of new deals. Instead, the store keeps Black Friday pricing active while rebranding the event as a Cyber Monday continuation. For 2025, it is reasonable to expect the same strategy. That means the biggest bargains from Thanksgiving weekend should still be available through Monday and often for several days afterward.

Expected Timeline for 2025

Williams-Sonoma has reliably rolled out an Early Black Friday preview in mid-November, and 2025 should follow that pattern with promotional pricing anticipated around Friday, November 14, 2025. The primary Black Friday release online at williams-sonoma.com is expected to begin on Thanksgiving Day, which falls on November 27, 2025, with stores participating the following morning.

After the weekend rush, the Cyber Monday label usually appears, but the discounts themselves rarely change. You should anticipate the full promotion to run until roughly Sunday, December 7, 2025 or while inventory lasts.

Typical Discount Ranges

Across recent years, the store has offered consistent pricing tiers during its holiday event:

Early deals often include up to 50% off select merchandise, with clearance items sometimes topping out near 75% off.
The main Black Friday and Cyber Monday period regularly features up to 60% off a wide mix of products. Clearance items often qualify for an additional percentage off the lowest marked price, leading to total savings that can reach approximately 80% off.
Free shipping routinely appears on categories like cookware, cutlery, and electrics. Williams-Sonoma also tends to honor price match guarantees during high-traffic shopping holidays.

What Last Year’s Deals Suggest for 2025

Looking at the 2024 event gives strong clues about what Williams-Sonoma may repeat. Popular items saw significant reductions, including:

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer on sale for $279.95 (was $349.95) plus free shipping.
Up to 20% off select Breville Espresso Machines plus free shipping.
Up to 50% OFF Zwilling Cutlery, plus free shipping.
Up to $120 off select KitchenAid Stand Mixers and up to $70 off attachments, plus free shipping.
Up to 25% off Shun Knife Sets, plus free shipping.
Up to $100 off Vitamix Blenders, plus free shipping.
Wüsthof Stainless-Steel Steak Knives, Set of 8 on sale for $98 (was $130), plus free shipping.
Nespresso Vertuo POP+ Limited Edition by Breville on sale for $129.95 (was $209.95), plus free shipping.
20% off select Ooni Pizza Ovens & Accessories plus free shipping.
Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature French Oven, 22-Qt. on sale for $159.95 (was $284) plus free shipping.
Crafthouse by Fortessa Cocktail Smoking Box on sale for $199.95 (was $299.95)
Up to 35% off Select Café and GE Profile Electrics, plus free shipping.
Up to $300 off All-Clad D5 Stainless-Steel Cookware Sets, plus free shipping.

Deals like these tend to reappear year after year, often with minor pricing adjustments rather than dramatic changes.
