It's a new week and I'm still thinking about Black Friday. This year, we've seen big discounts on a wide range of home appliances, from small to large, at all major home improvement stores.
That was not the case with Anthropologie. Instead of discounted dishwashers, discounted kitchen appliances, or the usual Black Friday items, they featured premium bedding, tableware, and decor items at discounted prices.
Over the past few days, I've spent hours checking out all of the most popular products and doubling their prices. That's how we found out that many of the best Black Friday home sales have already ended. I don't think Anthropologie will have a big sale until the new year.
If you missed out on Black Friday shopping and are worried you missed out on a great gift, all is not lost. All your favorite Anthropologie pieces are available for purchase. You may just have to pay a little extra.
my favorite anthropology work
This silky soft quilt is lined with fiberfill, hypoallergenic for sensitive sleepers, and vegan for eco-conscious shoppers. It is covered with delicate spirals, adding depth and three-dimensionality to the piece. The stitching looks nice and helps keep the fiberfill in place and evenly distributed. That means no lumps, bumps, or thin spots, and you'll be comfortable all night long.
Organic percale print sheet set
This sheet set comes in a variety of patterns, from cute plant patterns to bold animal patterns. You'll find something to suit every style of bedroom. My favorite is Mila Green, which is refreshing and bright. The green background of the grass perfectly complements the pink and blue flowers. If you like the pattern but don't want as many, you can also buy just the pillowcase. Each piece is made from highly permeable and breathable cotton percale to keep you just the right amount of cool and dry.
organic satin print sheet set
The best bed sheets can be very expensive, especially if they are made from organic materials. At Anthropologie, you can get this responsibly made sheet set for less. Each fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcase is dotted with dainty white dogs dancing in a watercolor blue sky. A delicate design that matches the luxurious softness of satin. These sheets look and feel great in your guest bedroom.
I've never seen anything like this floral faux fur throw. It reminds me of impressionist paintings. If you look closely, you can spot the individual tufts. But from a distance, this cozy throw really looks like a spring meadow. The color palette includes plenty of blush pink, deep purple, and marigold accents. This throw can be hung over the sofa or at the end of the bed to create a real statement. If you like the pattern, you can always choose it as a floral faux fur pillow.
This faux fur pillow is available in black and white, bronze, moss, turquoise, dark purple, and pearl. We recommend getting a few in contrasting or complementary colors and dotting them around your sofa or reading corner. This pillow may be covered in faux fur, but it's stuffed with real down for luxurious comfort.
Jasper Portugal Dinner Plate Set of 4
These stoneware dishes come in six shades, so you can choose the style that best matches your kitchen's color palette. I chose gold. It has a festive feel that's perfect for this time of year, but delicate enough to be worn year-round. These plates feature a delicate, mottled design, but are built to last. Each dish is baked at extremely high temperatures for maximum strength and durability.
Pinova dessert plate set of 4
If you're planning to host your first Thanksgiving and want to stock up on your dinnerware collection, you're in luck. You can purchase this set of four dessert plates for just under $45. Each piece is crafted from durable stoneware and covered with a reactive glaze for a mottled finish.
edison portuguese linen napkins
You can purchase this set of 4 napkins at Anthropologie for just $33.60. Each napkin costs $12. This is a surprisingly good value considering each piece is made from durable and stain-resistant organic linen. These napkins come in festive shades of rich red and kelly green, as well as more neutral shades such as ivory and powder white that are suitable for year-round use.
jasper portuguese serving platter
If you're shopping for durable tableware this Black Friday, you can't go wrong with stoneware. This platter is fired at a high temperature to increase its heat resistance. Therefore, it is dishwasher and microwave safe, making it convenient for cleaning and heating. This piece is coated with a satin reactive glaze to give it a shine. Can be used to serve cheese and biscuits or canapés at Christmas parties.
Each piece of glass in this collection is hand carved by artisans in Turkey, so there may be subtle differences between each piece. At 6 ounces, this flute is the perfect size for serving champagne or elderflower spritz to the dinner table. Tip to the wise: Although technically top rack dishwasher safe, we recommend washing each flute by hand to preserve the etching.
Starry Night Wine Glass Set of 4
This Starry Night tableware collection was born from a dream by Catherine Martin, production designer for films such as Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby. Each piece in her collection has an Art Deco flair. My eye is drawn to the ultra-wide bowl, which has a dramatic cutout shape that tapers toward the top, concentrating the wine's aromas and flavors on the nose. These wine glasses feature elongated stems for easy holding and wide bases for added stability.
Starry night platter
If you're looking for a statement platter, you might love this piece from the Starry Night collection. Think of the black base as the night sky and the gold and silver stripes as shooting stars. It's a perfect dish for Christmas dinner or New Year's party.
This area rug plays with shape and color to create a three-dimensional desert landscape in a flat-woven rug. Although the design is delicate, the material is durable, making it suitable for use in high-traffic areas such as entryways and family rooms. Keep in mind that they require a little more maintenance. You will need to clean it using a soft brush on a vacuum cleaner or send it to a professional service.
If you're shopping for the best jewelry box this gifting season, we have news that you might be better off with a jewelry stand. Necklace chains are prone to tangling, especially when laid flat. I find it easier to access and less likely to get knots if I hang each piece on a jewelry stand. This jewelry organizer can be mounted on the wall, so you don't have to worry about your pendants rubbing against the tabletop.
Art deco style mirrors are irresistible. You can choose from black, white, or silver, but we think gold has the most classic appeal. Whether you want to purchase a 3-foot mirror that mounts to the wall or a 7-foot mirror that reaches the floor, you can choose in Primrose style.
Anthropology FAQ
Why is anthropology so expensive?
If you're buying a premium product, don't be surprised if it comes with a premium price tag. Anthropologie commissions expert artisans to create unique pieces from organic materials.
At the hardware store, Anthropologie is more expensive. That's why it's worth taking advantage of seasonal sales.
When will the next Anthropologie product be released?
It's hard to say. Outside of the Black Friday sales season, Anthropologie tends to have very irregular sales. That being said, I guess the big Anthropologie sale won't happen until 2024. If you want to get an Anthropologie gift this holiday season, you'll probably have to pay full price.
