The Best Black Friday Sales!

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and enjoyed some family time. This year, we decided to head to a really nice buffet at a local hotel and they did not disappoint! I was grateful not to have to cook this year and could just relax. I'm so thankful for my sweet family, my health and all of you too lovelies! Thank you to each and every one of you who reads The Classy Woman blog, I appreciate your support, kindness, thoughtful comments and readership! :)

In past years, when I first moved to the U.S., I thought it would be so much fun to partake in Black Friday by getting up at the crack of dawn and heading from store to store braving the crowds in search of spectacular deals, ones that would help me stay on budget and allow me cross items of my holiday giving list. I can honestly say in the 2 years that I tested that out, I never really came away with anything all that spectacular, but instead came home exhausted, crawling in bed for a nap and wondering what I was thinking. I'm glad I got to experience this annual tradition for many, however this year (as with the past many), you'll find me at home in cozy holiday PJ's, with a cup of hot cocoa in hand and Hallmark Christmas movies on in the background while I peruse all the great deals online in the comfort of my own home-that's more my style.

For those of you like myself, I'm taking the guesswork out of where to start looking this year for the best Black Friday deals! I've rounded up a huge list of the greatest sales, sharing my favorite pieces from them also. I like to use this opportunity to shop for others, but I always seem to find a few special things for myself in the process. ;)

I Love You Infinity Times Infinity

Every year around this time (and sometimes a few months earlier if I'm really organized) I begin making a list and thinking about what I want to either make or purchase for each person on my Christmas gift list. I'm a big believer in sticking to a budget so I write out the names of each recipient and break down the value of their total gifts based on what I have to work with that particular year. Then, I decide if I'm going to get one larger gift or a few smaller gifts and write some ideas that come to mind for each person based on their needs, wants and what they like. My favorite gifts to give are those that are meaningful and will be used or enjoyed over and over again.

Certain people are harder to shop for than others but when it comes to the important ladies in your life, such as your mom, sister, best friend or daughter, I don't know of a single woman who doesn't appreciate a quality piece of jewelry in a timeless design. :) Jewelry is something that I personally get excited to receive. Most people will buy themselves clothes, fashion jewelry, perfume and other accessories but hesitate when it comes to buying fine jewelry as they typically can't justify spending on themselves in this manner, so a gift like this is always a winner!

Helzberg Diamonds recently contacted me to share their newest INFINITY X INFINITY jewelry collection with me since they know I enjoy curating classy holiday gift guides, and I'm so glad they did! I've long been a fan of the infinity symbol on jewelry and it has become increasingly more popular over the last couple years making for a beautiful and meaningful gift for a variety of occasions. What's neat is that this exclusive collection was inspired by ABCs hit tv series "Revenge" and lead character Emily Thorne and her father's mantra, "I love you infinity times infinity." Do any of you watch the show? These pieces are the perfect way to celebrate your infinite love and make someone special sparkle this holiday season and for years to come!

Created by award-winning jewelry designer Udi Behr, the collection emphasizes the double infinity insignia, symbolizing infinite love, and, with an elegant collection starting from just $49.99, it offers the perfect gift on any budget this holiday season. There are 44 infinity jewelry designs in all, including bracelets as well as rings. How gorgeous are these diamond-encrusted sparklers below? This necklace and earring set are my favorites of their entire collection-they are stunning and so versatile.

Here are their Top 3 Best Sellers of the INFINITY X INFINITY collection which are each under $100.
