November was very much the peak of shopping madness. Between Black Friday sales and the ever-growing pressure to check gifts off our lists before December hits full swing, this month was all about strategic cart-loading (our Well-Received gift guides showcase the best tokens of appreciation for everyone in your life, from your mom to your pet-owner friends) and showing our readers all the best deals to snag before they sell out. According to anonymous data gleaned from our November Most Wanted stories, you all showed up and showed out when it came to making the most of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Last month’s top performers ranged from cold-weather staples from Nordstrom’s excellent fashion sales to unique advent calendars that make this season feel just a little more special.
