15 Black Friday deals that are worth the splurge: Le Creuset, Apple, Brooklinen and more

Designed with an A14 Bionic chip, a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display, 64GB of storage and both a front and back camera, this powerful iPad will earn a place in your electronics arsenal.

When we spoke to dermatologists about building an anti-aging skin care routine, they recommended NuFACE skin care devices. They're especially designed to firm the face and neck, improve cheek contour, lift brows and smooth lines using microcurrents to stimulate cell turnover. It's a splurgy skin-care tool that'll more than earn its place in your beauty bag.

If you shop one Black Friday purse deal, let it be this one. This iconic Kate Spade tote is a whopping 50% off right now — only $124! It's 13.75" wide, so it will fit your laptop, while it's 11" handle is padded enough to keep your shoulder protected during your commute. Get it in six different colors.

Made of a sustainable eucalyptus tree fiber upper, natural rubber outsole, shoe laces crafted from recycled plastic bottles, and a Merino wool heel cushion, these sneakers don't just look good, they're made of materials you can feel good about, too.

Le Creuset — the ultimate hostess brand. This French brand is synonymous with longevity and quality, making it an excellent gift for anyone who loves to cook and host a feast for their friends and family. This three-piece set comes with everything one needs for holiday cooking: 12.5-inch dish holds that holds 4 quarts; a 10-inch dish that holds 2.5 quarts; and a 7.5-inch dish that holds 1.1 quart.

The Cocoon by Sealy is an excellent cooling mattress ideal for sleepers who run hot or live in warmer climates. The Cocoon Chill usually costs over $1,000, but during Black Friday, it's down to just $700. 

The Chill is wildly popular among shoppers, earning a near-perfect five-star rating after more than 8k reviews. During Black Friday, you can score the mattress for 35% off, plus two free pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protector for free. It does not, however, come with set-up service, so if you order this mattress, it will arrive rolled up in a box. You will be responsible for removing your old mattress and setting up your new one. 

A few years ago I wrote about how weighted blankets give me my best sleep, even at my most anxious. And it's still true today. While most weighted blankets are weighed down with glass or plastic beads to provide the Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) therapy they're known for, these are designed with a weighted, open-knit that keeps you cool and comfortable while you sleep. 

Choose from cream or gray in 10- or 15-pound weights. 

For the coffee lover who really hates when their cuppa goes cold, the Ember temperature-control mug is a no brainer. I'm a long-time owner of the original Ember mug (this is the model No. 2) and I love it because it prevents me from having to heat up my drink over and over when I'm having a leisurely morning. 

In fact, we ranked this as one of our best heated coffee mugs of the year because it's "the self-heating mug that made me fall in love with self-heating mugs," according to our tester Rick Broida. 

The charging base keeps your drink warm to your preferred temperature for up to 80 minutes. It comes with an app where you can set temperature preferences, make presets and more. The charging base also works without an app and remembers your last preference settings.

If you prefer a little texture on your handbag, you'll enjoy this crocodile leather tote from Coach. It features a large interior supported by four metallic feet at its base, providing support if you want to carry heavy objects (like your laptop). It's 50% off during Black Friday, down to just shy of $200. Get it in five colors in this crocodile-embossed leather.

This enameled-cast-iron pot delivers exceptional heat distribution and retention so you can use it for everything from slow cooking to braising or roasting. The smooth interior easily releases food, while the enamel coating allows use in the dishwasher to make cleanup a breeze.

The Solawave Radiant Renewal Wand is a red light therapy device that's been recommended to us by dermatologists over the years. It is best used daily when paired with your preferred serums to stimulate collagen, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and decrease redness and inflammation of the skin. It's a more affordable alternative to pricey red light therapy masks that sit on your skin. 

The Solawave is a 4-in-1 wand that provides red light therapy, therapeutic warmth to soothe skin and reduce dark circles, a facial massage to reduce puffiness and a stimulating galvanic current to aide in the absorption of serums.

We're a big fan of these Nordstrom PJs, which are consistently a bestsellers during Nordstrom's big sales events. They're made of breathable Tencel modal, which is an ideal material for maintaining a comfortable sleeping temperature, and a kiss of spandex for stretch and comfort. Available in sizes XXS to XL, but note that there are only three colorways on sale: pink, black and navy.

A well-made robe is something he'll use for years. I highly recommend these “super plush” robes from Brooklinen that are made with 100% Turkish cotton and feature deep pockets, cuffed edges and a piped collar. I've owned one for years and it's still still the robe I reach for every morning. I love that it's thick enough to keep you warm on a cold morning, and plush enough to use like a bath towel after a shower, if that's your jam. Best of all, it keeps its fluffy feel even after dozens of washes. 

Ages: 3+

If you're unfamiliar, the Toniebox is an imagination-building, screen-free digital audio toy that plays stories, sings songs and more. It is designed to foster imagination and independent active play for children of all ages, but especially those three and up.

For little ones who already own a Toniebox starter set, there are lots of Tonies character bundles on sale right now that would make great stocking stuffers, like Marvel's Spidey & His Amazing Friends and a Disney bundle that includes Elsa, Moana and Mirabel, both on sale for $99.
