Us Aussies are always inspired by our big sister, America, which is why when they decided to hold a ginormous sale event called Black Friday, we wanted to take part too.

In the US, Black Friday is held on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Do we celebrate Thanksgiving? Nope. But that’s not going to stop us from shopping, especially when so many lucrative items are over 50 per cent off.

To top it off, November 27 is Cyber Monday, so the savings just keep on coming.

Watch: Justifying an online shopping spree. Post continues below.

With massive discounts on beauty products, clothing and accessories, tech products and home decor, it makes sense why people wait for these sales to come around every year.

Of course, you already know thatMamamia’slifestyle team treats these sales as if they are an Olympic sport (shopping is a part of our job okay!?), so I asked them what they’re planning on buying this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Here’s what they said.

Basmah Qazi, Senior Lifestyle Writer.

Bespoke Letterpress 2024 Petite Linen Bound Planner, $35.21.

"Around this time every year, I search for my 2024 planner and this one by Bespoke Letterpress is so beautiful, I knew I had to have it. The detail that has gone into this planner is unlike anything I've ever seen, and thanks to Black Friday, it costs less than $40!"

SAINT VALENTINE Luna Wave Hoops Gold https://www.saintvalentinejewellery.com/collections/30-off/products/luna-wave-hoops-gold, $94.50.

"I've been searching for a pair of subtle gold hoops that go with everything, and these ones by SAINT VALENTINE fit the bill. They're delicate enough to be worn on a daily basis, and the diamantes make them more interesting than standard gold earrings."

AERE Camp Collar Shirt, $72.

"Ever since I laid eyes on this shirt, I just knew I had to have it. I love the print and the colours because it screams summer without being too over the top. And as someone whose entire wardrobe is made up of black, brown and white clothing, this will be a welcome addition."

Veja V-10, $185.50.

"I have been desperately trying to find a new pair of sneakers that aren't the Adidas Sambas, and these Veja ones caught my eye immediately. I love the colourway, it reminds me of the '90s, and even though it's not white, I think it'll still be quite versatile."

Under Armour Unstoppable Jacket, $90.

"Under Armour makes the comfiest activewear ever, and this jacket is not a want, but a need. The lilac colour makes it stand out, and it's really cute for summer. I'm going to be the best-dressed person at the gym, that's for sure."

Alix Nicholson, Weekend Editor.

Crocs Platform Slider Sandals in Bone, $73.50.

"Crocs Platform Slides in bone are going to be my summer shoe, and no one can tell me otherwise. I'm obsessed with these — they're simple, cute, comfy... there is no downside."

Lupita Blue and Purple Floral Picnic Rug, $129.

"I love a summer picnic and this indoor-outdoor one from Miss Amara is my pick for the season! It's perfect for the beach or the park, and it's so pretty, I'm definitely adding this to my cart."

Charlie Begg, Morning Editor.

Nine West Niah Shoes, $111.96.

"Fashion expert andMamamiacontributor FiFi Milne recently said that white shoes are your secret weapon, and I don't own any! I've got a few pairs I'm eyeing off but these are the first I'm after."

TJ SWIM Margot Top, $69.99, and Bottoms, $55.99.

"I've also been looking at this bikini since it came out - TJ Swim make some of the best quality bikinis that last season after season and this colour is too fab not to grab on sale."
