Black Friday Deals: Office Essentials, Tools + Wellness
*I love being fully transparent, so if you use the links below to purchase anything, I make a small commission (at no additional cost to you) — it just simply gives me credit + helps support my small business.
It’s hard to pass up the deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday this time of the year.
And thankfully, most places give you more than 48 hours to shop their deals — because you want to make a smart decision instead of an impulse buy (been there).
Since we have more than a week to decide, I want to share my favorite office essentials and tools I use daily for my small business. I’m also sharing a few of my wellness tools that I am obsessed with!
And these are some deals you don’t want to miss out on!
Let’s start with the office essentials first.
Black Friday Office Essentials Deals
When we moved, I desperately needed a new desk and office chair because my husband needed his back after a two-year hiatus in school.
He was so kind to lend me them for now, but it was time to get my own. I contemplated between a traditional desk and a standing desk because I wanted the flexibility to stand (and possibly get a walking pad).
After a two-week thinking period and polling my Instagram community, I decided — I was getting the standing desk.
Now, I wanted something comfortable for my office chair to make me sit with better posture and not like Gollum.
And I found the perfect ergonomic one on Amazon!
Don’t worry; I’ve linked them below, along with other office essentials and staples.
Standing Desk in Bamboo Texture/ White - 40% off (comes in multiple colorways)
Ergonomic Desk Chair in White - 16% off + $20 coupon (comes in three colorways)
Dell 32 inch 4K Monitor - 32% off
Logitech Wireless Mouse - 29% off
Maxone 500GB Ultra Slim Portable External Hard Drive - 20% off
iPhone/ Camera Tripod Stand - 47% off
Favorite Small Business Tools
I sound like a broken record, but these business tools are my absolute favorites, and I have been using them for over four years.
And if that’s not enough to sell you on them, you can check them out and report back.
These are tools I use in my business every. single. day, and have been an absolute game changer in keeping things organized and efficient.
And one is a product of yours truly that I’ve created just for my designer and service-based businesses.
Okay — sharing those deals below!
Flodesk is my favorite and best email marketing platform. You can easily incorporate your brand colors and fonts and create email templates within minutes. It also provides checkout capabilities, forms, workflows, and audience segments to create the best experience for your audience.
From Inquiry to Offboarding Framework - After years of trial and error, I’ve perfected my onboarding, offboarding, and project management. I created it for my fellow designers and service-based businesses in a 26-page interactive PDF. You can adapt my client experience with video tutorials and templates and make it your own.
Bonsai - Small business management software simplified! I love Bonsai for many reasons, like sending contracts vetted by lawyers, invoices that take seconds to create, and keeping track of your finances, to name a few. There are also client and project management portals, fillable forms, and time tracking. I’ve used Bonsai for years and will always recommend it!
Squarespace - I love Squarespace and use this for the website you’re currently reading this blog post on. :) I use Squarespace for a lot of my clients who are service-based because I love its interface and dashboard view for my clients. If you work with me, I can get you 20% off your first year’s hosting! Inquire here for more information. Or if you’d rather DIY it — click here.
Wellness Tools on Sale
Since I’m a wellness girlie and will always advocate for a healthier lifestyle, there are a few wellness tools that I cannot live without.
I’ve compiled my top wellness tools without overwhelming you.
And if you’re following me on Instagram, you’ve seen me talk about these regularly.
HigherDose Red Light Face Mask - Since using this mask, I’ve seen my redness disappear, fine lines diminish, and my skin brighten overall! I love that it helps combat blue light because I’m on my laptop and phone for my job. It’s also a mood-boosting and relaxing 10-20-minute session.
Seed - My daily synbiotic (probiotic + prebiotic combined) that keeps me regular and feeling good. I’ve been a Seed girlie for two years and never go a day without taking it.
Equilibria CBD - Whether you own a business or are just an anxious girlie, this is my favorite CBD on the market! It’s a women-owned company that uses high-quality ingredients and science-based knowledge to create the perfect CBD products. I personally love the Daily Softgels and Daily Drops!
Recreation Sweat Mat - If you’ve been looking for the perfect workout mat, this is IT! I’ve tried multiple mats over the years, and this one has stood the test of time. It’s been a year since I owned this mat, and it still looks brand new.
