Gurls, have you seen Amazon’s Black Friday sale this year? Mercy. I clicked into that thing and felt like I’d fallen into a digital tornado. Page after page of deals swirling past me, half of them things I’d never buy in a million years.

But, being the good friend that I am, I grabbed a cup of coffee, rolled up my sleeves, and dug through all the chaos so you don’t have to. Nobody has time to sift through six thousand “must-have” gadgets. And honestly, most of them aren’t must-haves at all. We want the things that solve actual problems, make life easier, and don’t require calling your grandson to set up.

So I did the hunting, the sorting, and the sanity checking, and picked out the Amazon Black Friday deals actually worth your time this year. These are the upgrades that either make everyday life smoother, help you stay safer, or would make a thoughtful gift for someone who’s hard to buy for.

Let’s get into the good stuff, starting with the categories I think are most helpful for real-life women like us. If you quit reading halfway through, don’t worry, I put the heavy hitters at the top.
