Claire’s Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Updated on Monday, November 10, 2025: If you’re planning to shop at Claire’s this upcoming Black Friday, here’s what you can expect based on how their sale has worked in the past few years. They tend to keep things consistent, so 2025 should follow a similar structure.

Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Claire’s Black Friday 2025 sale is likely to start at claires.com on Saturday, November 22, 2025, based on the timing of their 2024 event. It typically begins the weekend before Thanksgiving and continues through Cyber Monday, which falls on December 1, 2025 this year.

The Main Deal: Buy 3, Get 3 Free

Claire’s Black Friday sale is known for their Buy 3, Get 3 Free deal across almost everything. This isn’t just limited to a single category—it usually applies sitewide, with some exclusions.

Here’s what was included in the promotion last year and is likely to be included again:

  • Earrings (studs, hoops, multi-packs)
  • Makeup sets
  • Face masks (including fun and themed ones)
  • Plush toys
  • Bags and backpacks
  • Stationery and school supplies
  • Hair accessories (scrunchies, headbands, clips)
  • Jewelry (bracelets, necklaces, rings)

The deal applies to the six least expensive items in your cart, with the three lowest-priced items being free. This means if you mix items with different prices, the cheapest three will automatically be free at checkout. No promo code is usually needed—the discount is applied automatically.

What’s Usually Excluded

While the Buy 3, Get 3 Free deal covers a lot, it doesn’t apply to absolutely everything. Exclusions typically include:

  • Gift cards
  • Ear piercing services and kits
  • Licensed merchandise (depending on the brand)
  • Sale or clearance items (sometimes excluded, sometimes included—depends on the year)
  • Certain limited-edition holiday collections

It’s a good idea to read the fine print once the sale goes live, especially if you’re buying something seasonal or exclusive.

Online vs. In-Store

Claire’s usually runs the same promotions both online and in-store. If you’re planning to visit a physical location, you should be able to get the same Buy 3, Get 3 Free deal as what’s available on their website. That said, inventory can vary a lot by location, so if you’re shopping for something specific, online may offer a broader selection.

If you’re shopping online, keep an eye on shipping cutoffs and delivery times, especially if you need the items by a certain date. Standard shipping policies tend to apply, and shipping is usually free with a minimum order amount, often around $30 to $50.

Shipping & Returns

Claire’s offers standard shipping policies year-round, including during Black Friday:

  • Free shipping may apply for orders over a certain dollar amount (typically $30 or more).
  • Returns are accepted on most items within 60 days, as long as they’re unused and in original packaging.
  • Piercing kits and earrings may be final sale due to hygiene reasons, so double-check the return policy before purchasing.

Inventory and Timing

Claire’s tends to bring out special collections or limited-edition items ahead of Black Friday, especially holiday-themed sets. Items like advent calendars, seasonal jewelry packs, or exclusive gift bundles can sell out quickly. If you’re interested in those kinds of items, it’s a good idea to shop early in the sale window.

Because of the Buy 3, Get 3 structure, items under $10 often move fast, especially smaller gifts like:

  • Mini plush keychains
  • Lip gloss sets
  • Stud earring packs
  • Notebooks or pens with characters/themes

These make popular stocking stuffers or small gifts, and once they’re out of stock, they may not be restocked during the sale.

Past Examples of Sale Items

Based on last year’s sale, here are some examples of items that were part of the Buy 3, Get 3 deal:

  • 3-Pack Holiday Stud Earrings: Regularly priced around $9.99
  • Tie-Dye Scrunchie Set (5-pack): Around $7.99
  • Mini Glitter Backpack Purse: Priced around $19.99
  • Frozen II Lip Gloss Compact: $10.99
  • Cat Plush Keychain: $6.99
  • Holiday Pen and Notepad Set: $5.99

Leave a comment

Updated on Monday, November 10, 2025: Foreo’s 2025 Black Friday sale is now officially live! Below is everything you need to know about the confirmed deals, promo code, sale dates, and important details for this year’s event.

When Did the Sale Start?

Foreo launched its 2025 Black Friday sale on November 10, 2025, following a week or so of “pre” Black Friday deals.

You can shop the deals at foreo.com, likely through Cyber Monday on December 1, 2025, or while supplies last. Popular devices may sell out before the final day, so shopping early is recommended.

Confirmed 2025 Deal: 35% Off Sitewide With Promo Code

Foreo is offering a sitewide discount for 2025 instead of limiting the savings to select items; save 35% on your entire purchase with promo code BFNOW2025.

This discount applies to most products across the site and is one of the strongest Black Friday offers the brand has released in recent years.

Additional Savings Details

  • Free Shipping Threshold: Foreo is offering free shipping on all orders over $99, which helps reduce total costs even if you are only buying a single device.
  • Product Inclusions and Exclusions: Although the sitewide discount is broad, keep in mind that some new releases, accessories, bundles, or limited edition items may not be eligible. Prices and availability may also vary by region, so international shoppers should check their country’s version of the site.

Shipping and Returns

Free shipping applies to orders over $99. Return windows usually fall between 14 and 30 days, although holiday purchases may come with extended timelines. It is a good idea to review the return policy details during checkout.

Chinese Laundry Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Updated on Monday, November 10, 2025: If you’re thinking about picking up a new pair of boots or heels for the winter season—or you’re just waiting to refresh your closet without paying full price—Chinese Laundry’s upcoming Black Friday sale is worth keeping an eye on. We’ve been following their sale patterns pretty closely, and based on what they did last year, here’s what to expect from the 2025 event.

When Will the Sale Start?

Based on past years, including 2024, Chinese Laundry is expected to kick off VIP early access to their Black Friday sale around November 17, 2025. That usually means Club Chinese Laundry members get first dibs on the deals before they go live for everyone else.

The main Black Friday sale should start around Monday, November 25, and will likely run through the long weekend, wrapping up with a bigger push for Cyber Monday on December 1.

Last year’s schedule followed this same pattern—VIPs got a week’s head start, the general sale opened the Monday before Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday brought in deeper discounts. There’s no official confirmation yet, but based on that structure, 2025 should be similar.

Where You Can Shop

Everything will be available online at chineselaundry.com.  Occasionally, you might find their shoes marked down on third-party retail sites (like Nordstrom Rack, DSW, or Zappos), but the official sale runs through their website and includes perks like:

  • Free shipping on orders over $49
  • Free returns on those same orders
  • No promo code needed (prices usually marked on-site)

The free shipping threshold and no-code setup make things a bit easier, especially if you’re just grabbing one or two pairs.

How Much Can You Save?

Here’s the breakdown of what discounts typically look like based on last year’s sale:

  • Up to 50% off select styles during the Black Friday period
  • Up to 75% off for Cyber Monday (but only on a limited number of items)

So, while 50% off is solid and covers a decent range of styles, waiting until Cyber Monday might be smart if you’re looking for deeper markdowns. That said, some of the more popular or newer styles tend to sell out before Cyber Monday even arrives, so there’s a bit of risk in waiting too long.

One thing to keep in mind: The “up to” part is key. Not everything is going to be half off, and only select styles hit the 75% mark. A lot of the deeper discounts usually apply to older inventory or seasonal designs.

Styles Usually Included in the Sale

Chinese Laundry typically marks down a pretty wide range of footwear during Black Friday, and it spans both in-season and end-of-season items. Here are the main categories where you can usually expect to see deals:

1. Boots and Booties

This is probably the biggest section during Black Friday. Last year, several pairs of over-the-knee boots, block-heeled booties, and lug sole styles were marked down between 30% and 50%.

Examples from 2024 included:

  • “Theresa” Knee-High Boot – Originally $129, marked down to $89
  • “Rumor” Platform Bootie – $99 down to $59
  • “Reggie” Chelsea Boot – 40% off during the early access period

If you’re shopping for boots, Black Friday is a pretty good time. By Cyber Monday, some sizes were gone, especially in standard colors like black, taupe, and beige.

2. Heels and Dress Shoes

Chinese Laundry always leans into heels—think platform sandals, strappy heels, and block styles. During last year’s sale, a lot of these were discounted in the 30–50% range. On Cyber Monday, a few select pairs dropped to 60–75% off.

Items that stood out last year:

  • “Teaser” Platform Sandal – $79 marked down to $49
  • “Yita” Strappy Heel – hit 50% off during Cyber Monday
  • “Theron” Metallic Block Heel – part of the 75% off group (limited sizes)

You’ll also sometimes see holiday-friendly glitter or satin styles show up with decent discounts, especially as we get closer to December.

3. Casual Flats and Sneakers

This category usually sees lighter markdowns than boots or heels. Discounts are often closer to 20–30%, but there are exceptions. If a sneaker or flat didn’t sell well during the year, it might land in the deeper Cyber Monday bin.

Last year’s casual picks:

  • “Jody” Platform Sneaker – 25% off during Black Friday, 40% off on Cyber Monday
  • “Farren” Flat – 30% off for most of the sale
  • “Lana” Loafer – hovered around 40% off late in the event

If you’re not shopping for something seasonal or trendy, this category’s worth checking toward the end of the sale.

4. Sale Section / Clearance

There’s always a dedicated sale section on Chinese Laundry’s website, and it gets updated during Black Friday. This is where you’ll find some of the best deals—but also the most inconsistent sizing. Many styles here hit 60–75% off during Cyber Monday in 2024.

Shoes in this section last year included:

  • Summer styles like espadrille wedges and raffia mules
  • Off-season heels from spring and summer lines
  • Clearance winter boots from earlier years

The biggest challenge with the clearance section is sizing. If you’re a common size like 7.5–9, popular styles sell out early. Less common sizes might hang around longer, and you’ll sometimes find a great deal if you’re willing to scroll.

Should You Wait for Cyber Monday?

That depends on what you’re shopping for. If there’s a style you really want and it’s part of the early Black Friday deals, grabbing it at 30–50% off isn’t a bad move. Once it’s gone, it probably won’t come back in stock. But if you’re just browsing or looking for a deep markdown, waiting until Cyber Monday could pay off. That’s when some styles get bumped up to 60–75% off.

Just keep in mind that the Cyber Monday selection is usually more limited. So if you’re looking for specific sizes, colors, or current-season styles, they might be gone by then.

Return Policy and Shipping

During the sale period, Chinese Laundry typically offers:

  • Free shipping on orders over $49
  • Free returns (also on orders over $49)

Returns have to be initiated within 30 days, and shoes should be unworn. If you’re not sure about sizing, this makes it a little easier to buy without worrying too much.
