Black Friday has always been a fun day for me ever since I was old enough to go with my mom and my aunt. I remember waiting every year and asking to go, and ever since I’ve been allowed to go I’ve loved it. It is one of my favorite days of the year, we get to get up early and go shopping and I get to spend the day with my mom, my aunt, and my cousin. Every year we go to Erie and shop around there. Here are the top 10 places we go on Black Friday in no particular order.

10. Target

Target is one of my favorite places even not on Black Friday. They have so many different types of things. I can easily buy presents for everyone if I wanted to. They have toys, clothes, food, home decor, and so much more. Because of the different things they have I can find something that everyone likes for Christmas. I like getting things for me as well, like clothes, makeup, skincare, and more. Their stuff isn’t as expensive as other places, especially their clothes. Target is also a staple place for so many people, so we always have to go here on Black Friday. 

9. Ulta Beauty

Ulta is one place that always has at least some good deals, so I know I can always count on the store to have something I’ll want. It is also a perfect place to get gifts for my friends, for my cousins or my mom. So it is a good place for me to go to get Christmas gifts. They also have both high-end and “cheaper” makeup products there too, and I can always get a good gift for people. This is another place where I like to get stuff for myself too. Which is why I make sure we go to Ulta every year. 

8. American Eagle/Aerie

I have loved American Eagle and Aerie since I was in middle school. Their clothes are super comfy and cute. Every year they give away a new blanket if you spend over a certain amount, and ever since I’ve been going Black Friday shopping I’ve gotten it. So now, I have to make sure I get that blanket. 

7. Bath & Body Works

This store has so many good scents for lotion, perfume, soap, and so much more. I love coming here and getting to try all the different products, as well as buying different things for people. Bath & Body Works always has the best Christmas scents and the cutest products too. 

6. Forever 21

I love Forever 21’s clothes and everything in it. They always have super cute things, and I like the style of a lot of their things. They also have super cute accessories that I love to look at. And it is overall a really fun store to look through, especially on Black Friday. 

5. H&M

H&M always has some good deals in the store, and again I love the clothes that they have. It is also nice because they have men, women, and kids clothing. So it is easy to shop for everyone there. They also have so many different styles of clothing in the store. I enjoy choosing things to get for Christmas, because they have a lot of cute pieces. 

4. Hollister

Last year Hollister had so many clothes that I loved, and that I ended up asking for Christmas presents. They also weren’t super pricey and they had some pretty good deals. We also got free pajama pants with our purchase that were actually super cute and good quality. Which is why Hollister was one of my favorite stores to go to last year on Black Friday. 

3. Starbucks

Starbucks may not be the first place that comes to mind but it is a staple for Black Friday. Especially because getting up so early to go to Starbucks is perfect. It makes the day so perfect, it completes the winter vibe of the day. I get my favorite coffee and a cake pop every year and it is the perfect way to end off the day. 

2. Tilly’s

I love the style of Tilly’s and so I love to look at the clothes they have in there. However they don’t have many deals, at least last year there was not. But, to me I still enjoy going there because I like the clothing options they have. They also have good accessories that are fun to look at as well. 

1. Sephora

While I know that Sephora doesn’t have their own store, it is still fun to look at the part of Sephora that is in Kohls. They always have cute holiday bundles and deals. I also like a lot of the products that they have there, and the brands that they have. I overall enjoy looking at makeup which is why I really enjoy looking at Sephora.
