St. John Knits Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Updated on Wednesday, November 12, 2025: St. John Knits has followed a fairly consistent Black Friday pattern in recent years, and 2025 will likely be no different. From when the sale will start to what kinds of discounts you can expect, here is a look at what is likely coming this Thanksgiving weekend.


Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

St. John Knits is expected to begin their 2025 Black Friday sale on Thanksgiving Day itself, Thursday, November 27, 2025. The event should then run for five days, ending on Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. This timing matches their schedule from past years, so there’s little reason to think it will be any different this time around. The sale is typically valid only online at stjohnknits.com.


Typical Discounts

In past events, St. John Knits has offered an additional 10% off all sale styles. This means that already-marked-down items receive an extra reduction at checkout. Based on last year’s terms, merchandise that was discounted by 40% or more was marked as final sale. You should expect the same policy in 2025.

While 10% may sound small compared to other fashion sales that slash prices by half or more, keep in mind that St. John Knits’ pieces are high-end, often with retail prices starting at several hundred dollars. Even modest discounts can make a noticeable difference. The extra 10% also applies across all sale items rather than being limited to certain categories, which gives you some flexibility in what you choose.


Common Terms and Conditions

Looking at last year’s official offer gives a good idea of what to expect this time. The sale was valid only. Outlets, specialty retailers, and department stores were excluded, so you should plan to shop directly through their website.

Other important terms included:

  • Items marked 40% off or higher were final sale.
  • No returns or exchanges were allowed on final sale merchandise.
  • The offer could not be combined with other promotions or coupons.
  • Past purchases were excluded, meaning you couldn’t request a price adjustment.
  • The discount was applied at checkout and shown on eligible items.

It’s reasonable to assume the same restrictions will apply in 2025. That means it’s best to be sure about sizing and style before placing an order, especially on pieces listed as final sale.


Discount Levels by Category

Last year’s discounts varied depending on the item. Many pieces started at 30% off and then received the extra 10% on top. Items marked down by 40% or more fell into the final sale category, which meant no returns.

To give you a clearer picture, here are a few examples of actual sale items from last year:

  • Metallic Knit Dress: Originally $1,295, marked down by 40% to $777, and final sale.
  • Classic Knit Blazer: Priced at $1,595, reduced by 30% to $1,116, then received the extra 10% for a final cost just over $1,000.
  • Wide-Leg Knit Pants: Retailing for $895, dropped by 30% and then another 10%, ending around $565.
  • Silk-Blend Top: Listed at $695, reduced to around $435 after all discounts.
  • Leather Belt: Originally $395, marked down by 30% and then another 10%, which brought it close to $250.

These examples highlight both the price range you can expect and how the layered discounts are applied.

Stella & Dot Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Updated on Wednesday, November 12, 2025: If you are planning to shop Stella & Dot’s Black Friday sale this year, it helps to know the timing, the kind of discounts they usually run, and how last year’s promotions looked. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect at their upcoming 2025 event.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Based on last year, Stella & Dot’s Black Friday sale in 2025 is likely to open early for newsletter subscribers on Saturday, November 22, 2025. Last year, early access came with a promo code that was emailed out (VIPACCESS25), so it is worth signing up for their emails in advance if you want a head start.

The main sale is expected to go live for everyone on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2025. Once live, you will have the whole weekend to shop the discounts, but the sale is scheduled to end on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at 11:59 PM PT, or until supplies sell out.

Cyber Monday will follow right after on Monday, December 1, 2025, and if last year is any guide, you may see better deals then than on Black Friday itself.

Expected Discounts and Offers

The main offer to expect during Stella & Dot’s Black Friday event is 25% off sitewide at stelladot.com. On top of that, you can usually find deeper markdowns of up to 70% off in their sale section. In addition, Stella & Dot tends to include a gift-with-purchase deal. Last year, if you spent $75 or more, you got a free stretch bracelet valued at $49.

The important thing to keep in mind is that exclusions can apply. Certain new arrivals, limited edition pieces, or items marked as final sale may not be eligible for the 25% sitewide discount.

On Cyber Monday, Stella & Dot changed things up. Instead of 25% off, the discount increased to 30% sitewide. The gift-with-purchase also expanded, letting you choose between the same stretch bracelet or one of two pairs of earrings. That meant the Monday offer was slightly better than Black Friday, especially if you were interested in multiple gifts or preferred a different free item.

Playstation VR2 Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect

Updated on Wednesday, November 12, 2025: Over the past few years, we haven’t seen any meaningful Black Friday deals on PlayStation VR2 from major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, or Target. Because of that, we’ve decided to stop actively tracking PlayStation VR Black Friday sales.

That said, if you’re looking to buy a PlayStation VR headset today, your best bet is Amazon. They consistently offer the most competitive prices and often have stock when other stores don’t. You might also come across occasional bundles or lightning deals that add extra value, such as including a game or accessory at no additional cost. While deep holiday markdowns on the original PSVR are unlikely at this point, checking Amazon regularly gives you the best chance of finding a worthwhile deal.


Questions & Comments

Are you planning on picking up a Playstation VR this holiday season or is the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive on your wish list? Maybe you are also on the hunt for a new PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, or Xbox One X Series X console? Find any deals on any virtual reality gaming console deals that are worth mentioning?
