Helzberg Diamonds Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: If you’re thinking about upgrading your jewelry box or shopping for a holiday gift, Helzberg Diamonds’ Black Friday sale is worth watching. Based on what they’ve done in the past, here’s what you can expect this year, when the sale is likely to start, and what types of deals might show up.


Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Helzberg Diamonds tends to stick to a pretty predictable Black Friday schedule. If this year follows the same pattern as last year, the main Black Friday 2025 event will likely begin on Tuesday, November 25th. That’s two days before Thanksgiving  itself.

It’s also worth noting that Helzberg usually releases early or pre-Black Friday deals leading up to the main event. These early deals might not be as extensive, but they can still be worth checking out. The main sale should run through Black Friday and likely into the weekend or even through Cyber Monday, depending on their final announcement.

You’ll probably be able to shop both in stores and at helzberg.com, although exact product availability may vary depending on how you choose to shop. And as always, there will likely be some exclusions or limited-stock items, so it’s good to shop early once it goes live.


How Much Can You Save?

During last year’s Black Friday event, Helzberg offered discounts up to 65% off. The higher discounts are typically applied to select items, especially lab-grown diamonds and fashion jewelry. Traditional mined diamond pieces and engagement rings tend to be discounted more modestly, but they still may come with solid price drops depending on the item.

Keep in mind that “up to 65% off” means not everything is going to be marked down that much, but you can still expect a good selection of pieces at 30%, 40%, or 50% off.


Examples of Past Black Friday Deals

To get a better idea of what might be offered this year, here are some specific examples from Helzberg’s 2024 Black Friday sale:

  • Multi-row 1/2 ct. tw. Lab-Grown Diamond Band — $279.99 (reg. $799.99, ~65% off)
  • 2 ct. tw. Round Lab-Grown Diamond Halo Earrings — $879.99 (reg. $2,499, ~65% off)
  • 1/4 ct. tw. Lab-Grown Diamond J-Hoop Earrings — $179.99 (reg. $499.99, ~64% off)
  • 2 ct. tw. Lab-Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet — $979.99 (reg. $2,499, ~61% off)

One thing to keep in mind is that some styles may only be available online or only in select stores, so it’s worth checking both places if you’re looking for something specific. Product images online are often magnified to show detail, and actual items may differ slightly in appearance.

Harry & David Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: If you’re planning to stock up on Harry & David’s gourmet treats, holiday gift baskets, or those famous pears, then their upcoming Black Friday sale is worth keeping on your radar. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect this year,  from likely sale dates to specific deals based on last year’s event.


Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Harry & David tends to follow a pretty predictable schedule when it comes to their Black Friday promotions. If they stay on track with what they’ve done before, then the sale should start on Thursday, November 20, 2025. That’s exactly one week before Thanksgiving, which lines up with last year’s launch date.

Things usually start with a broader, site-wide promotion on harryanddavid.com, and then ramp up as Thanksgiving approaches. The main part of the sale — where the biggest discounts kick in — should fall between November 24 and November 30, 2025. That window covers Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and the weekend that follows.

The sale is expected to end on Sunday, November 30, 2025, giving shoppers over a full week to grab deals without having to rush.


Promo Code Info

Last year, Harry & David offered 20% off site-wide during the early part of the Black Friday week. The promo code they used was “20HOLI”. While there’s no guarantee they’ll use the exact same one this year, it’s pretty likely they’ll go with something similar — so be on the lookout for a new version of that code in your inbox or right on their site’s homepage once the sale starts.

To get the site-wide discount, you’ll need to enter the promo code at checkout, so it’s good to double-check that the discount has applied before you place your order.


What You’ll Likely on Sale

In the first few days (starting November 20), you can expect that 20% off site-wide offer to apply to nearly everything — from fruit baskets and baked goods to wine gifts and gourmet chocolates.

If you’re able to hold off a few days, things usually get more interesting. Starting around Sunday, November 24, Harry & David typically drops a second wave of Black Friday deals. These focus less on site-wide discounts and more on heavily marked-down items.

Here’s what was on sale last year during this phase:

  • Up to 50% off select holiday gift boxes.
  • Deep discounts on holiday drums, towers, and variety packs.
  • Special “Buy More, Save More” offers on multi-pack gifts.

These deeper markdowns don’t always require a promo code — they’re often applied automatically and are listed under a specific “Black Friday Specials” or “Hot Deals” section on the site.


Popular Items Likely to Go on Sale Again

Based on what we saw last year, certain products tend to show up with either a 20–50% discount or a bundle promotion. Here are some examples that are likely to return this year:

1. Holiday Gift Towers

  • Last year’s prices dropped from around $89.99 to $44.99 on some of the large towers.
  • These typically include cookies, candies, chocolate-covered pretzels, nuts, and mini cakes.
  • Look out for the Deluxe Holiday Tower of Treats, which is a customer favorite.

2. Signature Pear Gift Boxes

  • The iconic Royal Riviera Pears almost always get featured.
  • You could find them bundled with cheeses or chocolates at a lower price.
  • One notable deal last year: 50% off a 9-piece pear and cheese box.

3. Holiday Drums and Variety Packs

  • These festive tins are packed with snack mixes, chocolate truffles, and popcorn.
  • The Holiday Drum Gift Tin was 50% off in 2024, dropping from $59.99 to around $29.99.
  • These make easy office or teacher gifts, especially if you need to buy in multiples.

4. Bakery Samplers and Breakfast Boxes

  • Look for discounted bakery assortments with coffee cakes, cinnamon rolls, and scones.
  • The Holiday Breakfast Box (with pancake mix, syrup, and coffee) also saw big cuts last year — sometimes up to 40% off.

5. Wine Gift Baskets

  • Not everything in the wine category goes on sale, but some curated sets usually do.
  • Last year, select wine and cheese baskets were 20% off with the early promo code.
  • Larger bundles with both savory and sweet items saw markdowns closer to Black Friday itself.

Harman-Kardon Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Updated on Tuesday, November 11, 2025: If you’re looking to upgrade your sound system or gift someone a quality speaker or soundbar, Harmon Kardon’s annaul Black Friday sale is usually one to keep on your radar. The event typically includes solid markdowns across a range of products—from portable Bluetooth speakers to high-end home theater equipment. And if last year is anything to go by, there’s reason to expect the same kind of price drops and timing this year.

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect from Harmon Kardon’s Black Friday 2025 sale, when it might start, what types of products usually go on sale, how much you can save, and examples of past deals that can give you a general idea of what might return.


Likely Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

If Harmon Kardon follows the same timeline as last year, the Black Friday 2025 sale should kick off on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 on harmankardon.com. That’s two days before Thanksgiving and three days before Black Friday itself. The company tends to begin discounting their products early in the week and keeps the sale going through Cyber Monday.

It’s possible that early access could start even before that for email subscribers or through a teaser event. But generally speaking, the main public sale has started on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving for at least the last two years. Expect a similar timeline unless they change things up last-minute.


Expected Discount Levels

Based on past sales, Harmon Kardon typically offers up to 58% off select products during Black Friday. Not every product will hit that max discount, but a wide range of speakers, headphones, soundbars, and other audio gear should see notable price drops.

Here’s what you can probably expect:

  • 35% to 55% off most portable speakers
  • 25% to 45% off home theater soundbars
  • 20% to 40% off Bluetooth headphones and earbuds
  • Up to 50% off select bundles and refurbished items

Prices vary depending on whether you’re shopping directly from Harmon Kardon’s website or a retailer like Best Buy, Amazon, or Target. The biggest markdowns tend to appear on Harmon Kardon’s own online store.


Examples of Last Year’s Deals

To give you a better idea of what to expect, here are some actual examples from Harmon Kardon’s 2024 Black Friday sale:

  • Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio 7 – was $479.95, dropped to $199.95 (58% off)
  • Harmon Kardon Aura Studio 3 – was $299.95, dropped to $143.98 (55% off)
  • Citation MultiBeam 1100 soundbar – was $999.95, dropped to $699.95 (30% off)
  • Go + Play 3 Bluetooth speaker – was $349.95, dropped to $249.95 (29% off)
  • Fly ANC Wireless Headphones – was $249.95, dropped to $149.95 (40% off)
  • Refurbished Onyx Studio 6 – was $199.95, dropped to $89.99 (55% off)

These numbers may not be exactly the same in 2025, but they should give you a solid benchmark. Most of the deep discounts focused on last-generation speakers and mid-range soundbars. The newer the product, the smaller the discount tends to be.
