If you’re anything like me, you’ve already been buying gifts well in advance of the holidays. I like to start stockpiling things as I see them — especially if an item automatically makes me think of someone on my list. But when Black Friday rolls around, that’s when the deals (and my own shopping) really start to ramp up. Amazon, in particular, is offering some incredible discounts across the home category and beyond. So now’s the time to scoop up what’s on your family and friends’ (and your own!) wish lists.

Not totally sure what to focus on in a sea of products, though? Me neither. That’s where interior designers come in. The pros are sharing their top Amazon home picks — things they either have their eyes on or have already purchased and swear by (and if something isn’t still on sale by the time you’re reading this, it’s likely to be under $70 in the first place!). Add them to your cart before they’re gone — because some of these things will sell out and might not be restocked in time for the holidays.
