GAP Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

November 15, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: If you’re waiting for a big Cyber Monday surprise from GAP this year, don’t hold your breath. Based on past patterns, GAP doesn’t launch a separate Cyber Monday event. Instead, its Black Friday sale simply rolls through the weekend and wraps up right after Cyber Monday. That means you’ll see the same great deals available from Thanksgiving Day straight through to the beginning of December.

So if you missed out on the early part of the Black Friday sale, Cyber Monday is basically your last call to grab the same discounts before they disappear.

When Will GAP’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Take Place?

GAP is expected to begin its main holiday promotions on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, 2025. The sale typically continues through the weekend and ends the following Tuesday (this year that would be on December 2, 2025, the day after Cyber Monday).

Although there will likely be no separate “Cyber Monday-only” event, occasionally, GAP will add a small online perk like free shipping.

What the Sale Usually Looks Like

Expect GAP to bring back its familiar layered structure of deals, which has become standard for their major holiday promotions:

Up to 60% off select “Really Big Deals”
Around 50% off sitewide or storewide
Occasionally, an extra 10% off with a promo code

While the site tends to shout “Ends Tonight!” or “Final Hours!”, the truth is that the prices often remain stable through Cyber Monday. The only thing that tends to shift is which specific items fall under the biggest discounts.

Where to Find the Deals

All of GAP’s major brands typically participate in the same online sale, including:

Gap.com
GapBody
GapKids
babyGap

These offers are usually limited to U.S. shoppers and do not include GAP Factory. Likewise, third-party sellers and gift cards are excluded.

In 2024, the best discounts were online-only, so it’s worth checking if that pattern continues this year. Be sure to read the fine print before you check out.

What Items Are Usually Included

If the 2024 sale is any indication, shoppers can expect the same kinds of wardrobe staples to be featured again in 2025. The “Really Big Deals” section tends to include:

Jeans from about $25
Sweaters from around $22
Sweatshirts starting near $19
Basic tees from $12
Pajamas around $15

These items usually make up the 60% off portion of the sale, while most other categories fall under the 50% off sitewide offer. Exclusions generally include items already discounted, third-party products, gift cards, and anything labeled “Excluded from Promotion.”

Free People Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

November 15, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: Free People’s Cyber Monday sale follows their Black Friday event closely. Based on what they’ve done in the past, here’s what to know before it starts.

Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates

Expected App Early Access – Sunday, November 30, 2025
If Free People follows its usual schedule, the sale will begin a day early for anyone using the Free People app. You’ll likely see the extra discounts go live on Sunday evening or late afternoon.

Predicted Main Event – Monday, December 1, 2025 (Cyber Monday)
The main Cyber Monday sale will kick off on freepeople.com at midnight and run for just one day.

Sale Details and Discounts

This year’s deal is expected to be an extra 40% off select sale items, with discounts shown at checkout. The offer should be available both in the app and on the website, but the app usually gets first pick.

You can also expect free express shipping on U.S. orders over $150 made through the app, along with free returns within the U.S. during the promotion. As usual, the sale won’t combine with other promotions or apply to past purchases, and some brands will be excluded.

Because this discount stacks on top of existing markdowns, final prices can be 60–75% off the original tag. That’s how Free People’s Cyber Monday sale typically stands out compared to other events.

Featured Deals from Last Year

Here are a few examples from Free People’s 2024 Cyber Monday event to give you an idea of how much prices can drop:

Item	Original Price	Sale Price	Total Savings
Genevieve Minidress	$200	$75	63% off
FP Movement Packable Puffer	$228	$60	74% off
Kadiju Pleated Dress	$250	$60	76% off
Intimately Square-Neck Tank	$40	$12	70% off
FP Movement Flat Out Beanie	$38	$12	68% off
Schutz Arissa Studded Flats	$128	$42	67% off

These prices show how deep the savings can get when the extra 40% is added to already marked-down pieces.

Forever 21 Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – What’s Coming and When

November 15, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 15, 2025: Forever 21 is not expected to host a Cyber Monday event in 2025 following its recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

The retailer announced that it is undergoing an extensive restructuring process, aiming either to sell off assets or secure a buyer for parts or all of its business. As part of this transition, several U.S. store locations have already been closed, and the company has stopped issuing new gift cards and credit accounts. Additionally, all purchases, both online and in-store, are now final, with returns or exchanges no longer accepted. These operational limitations indicate that traditional promotional events, such as Cyber Monday, are unlikely due to the need for stable inventory, marketing campaigns, and flexible return policies.

Forever 21 emphasized that while stores will remain open for now and online orders will continue to be processed, the primary focus is on managing bankruptcy procedures and ongoing store closures. With the company unable to support large-scale sales initiatives and gift cards being valid only until mid-April 2025, a conventional Cyber Monday promotion seems improbable. Remaining stock is expected to be sold at current markdowns without the introduction of any structured sale. Considering the uncertainty surrounding closures and potential asset sales, Forever 21 appears to be prioritizing the winding down of operations rather than engaging in seasonal promotional activities.
