True story: I haven’t gotten started on my holiday shopping yet. I have a few Black Friday deals bookmarked, sure, but compared to this time last year–when I somehow had every present wrapped up with a big red bow–this year’s gifting situation is way more chaotic. If you’re also riding the procrastination train at full speed, I’m here with a way to make holiday gifting easier and way more rewarding. It starts with just one app.
ShopBack is changing the game for smart holiday shopping. It’s the only major cashback program in the U.S. that gives you real cash back at both Amazon and Zara—two retailers no other cashback platform offers together. And the savings don’t stop there! ShopBack consistently delivers 3-10x higher cashback rates than other platforms. Think 10% at Walmart (compared to 1% on competing apps), plus better rates at Best Buy, Target, Sephora, Kohl’s, and more than 5,000 other retailers you’re already shopping for gifts. All the actual cash goes straight to your PayPal, not into points or store-specific credit you’ll forget about.
ShopBack also just gets how we shop now. With most users on mobile—and 74% of Gen Z preferring to shop on their phones—the app makes cashback feel seamless, automatic, and almost too easy. For example, the Dyson Airwrap is currently sitting at the very top of my wishlist, and knowing I can get real cash back on it through ShopBack might finally be the push I need to hit “checkout.”
So however you’re buying this season (and yes, self-gifting definitely counts), ShopBack is the smartest way to make every purchase go further. That’s why we’ve pulled together 15 of this season’s best gifts, all available at retailers where ShopBack offers some of its highest cashback rates.
Ready to check off your entire list and get money back while you do it? Let’s do it.
If there’s one gift I’m manifesting this year, it’s the Dyson Airwrap. I have long, curly hair, and I’ve tried every styling hack under the sun, including my old high school routine of straightening my curls just so I could curl them again (yes, it took forever). If you style your hair at all, you need the Airwrap.
Instead of frying your hair with extreme heat, it uses the Coanda effect—basically, airflow that pulls and wraps your hair around the barrel, giving you big, bouncy curls, or soft waves with far less damage. It dries and styles at the same time, cutting your getting-ready routine in half, and the re-engineered attachments self-wrap in both directions, meaning no more swapping barrels mid-style. Of course, the real win is getting 10% cashback at Best Buy through ShopBack on Black Friday!
If you’ve spent any time on BeautyTok, you’ve heard of Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. This cult-favorite is the type of gift you buy for somebody else and immediately wish you’d kept. The Jet Set trio includes travel-friendly versions of the Brazilian Bum Bum cream, the 4 Play Shower Cream-Gel, and the Brazilian Crush Body Mist, all infused with an addictive pistachio-salted caramel scent. The cream itself is packed with guaraná for circulation support, Cupuaçu butter for deep moisture, and açaí oil to keep skin smooth, bouncy, and vacation-ready.
Personally, I’m obsessed. My husband and I are heading on our honeymoon this winter, and I’m absolutely tossing a mini Bum Bum Cream in my carry-on. I know it’ll keep my skin soft and glowy on our cold-weather trip, and smell incredible the whole time. And if you’re gifting (or stockpiling minis for yourself), ShopBack gives you 10% cashback at Kohl’s on Cyber Monday, making this already-iconic set an even sweeter deal.
Winter air is brutal on your skin. The cold, dry air literally pulls moisture right out, leaving you reaching for every balm and lotion in sight. (My younger self used to slather on Vaseline like it was a lifesaver.) But you can get ahead of wintertime dryness with Kiehl’s “Double Down on Hydration” 2-piece set, which includes both the 1.69 oz and 4.23 oz sizes of Kiehl’s iconic UItra Facial Cream. Each is formulated with squalane and glycerin for lightweight, non-greasy moisture that penetrates 15 layers deep. Clinically proven to deliver 72 hours of hydration, it strengthens your skin’s moisture barrier while leaving it softer, smoother, and visibly healthier.
Shop this set at Macy’s through ShopBack on Black Friday and get 15% cashback … talk about hydration for your skin and a win for your wallet!
If the Dyson Airwrap is a bit out of your budget, Revlon’s One-Step Volumizer PLUS 2.0 punches way above its price tag. This all-in-one hair dryer and hot air brush delivers salon-quality results in just one step!
Its ceramic titanium tourmaline technology helps reduce heat damage while leaving hair silky-smooth, and the charcoal-infused nylon pins style close to the roots for maximum volume. The oval brush design works for all hair types, creating soft waves, flips, or sleek styles with ease. With low, medium, high, and cool settings, plus a slim, detachable handle for easy control and storage, it’s a one-step styling solution that really works.
From Black Friday through Cyber Monday, ShopBack gives you 5% cashback on Amazon—and if you’re really looking to score, there’s also a 1-hour Amazon Flash Sale from 4–5 PM PT on Black Friday offering a massive 50% cashback. A salon-worthy blowout and a seriously sweet deal? That’s a win-win.
Are you shopping for the teen girl in your life? Even if you said no, UGG’s Classic Ultra Mini Booties are for anyone who loves a cozy throwback. These fleece-lined favorites were all the rage in the early aughts, and I personally think they’re one of the better trends to make a comeback. What’s not to love about plush sheepskin, a flexible sole, and that just-right mini silhouette?
The top of the booties hit just above the ankle, so they pair great with jeans, leggings, or skirts. Meanwhile, the UGGplush insole and asymmetrical topline will keep feet snug and cozy all day. Score them at Macy’s through ShopBack on Black Friday and get 15% cashback. Hooray for that!
Hello, I just found the perfect gift for my husband. He loves cozy, practical outerwear, and Nike does that better than most. The Tech Fleece Hoodie takes their iconic smooth-on-both-sides fleece and elevates it with a heavyweight version that’s warmer, softer, and luxuriously comfortable. I love how the slightly oversized fit gives extra room throughout the body, so it’s perfect for layering. Meanwhile, the subtle Nike Tech details and signature embroidered Swoosh make it feel anything but slouchy.
Reward yourself for being on top of your holiday shopping when you grab it through ShopBack on Black Friday weekend (Nov 29–30) and get 10% cashback.
I’m that girl who’s always cold, and even summertime A/Cs make me chilly. So warm, oversized accessories will always beat flimsy wraps for me. Enter the Zara oversized scarf: an accessory that doubles as a style upgrade and a survival hack.
I’ve been a loyal Zara shopper since my year abroad in France, where I first fell for their elevated, effortlessly chic pieces. This scarf is everything I loved then, and everything I want now. It looks polished, but feels like a blanket when the wind really picks up. Think wrap-around warmth, tons of fabric to cocoon yourself in, and that cozy, plush texture that just makes winter feel better. It’s a must-buy, whether you’re gifting it to your best friend (who steals your scarves anyway), or saving it for yourself (no shame in self-wrapping).
Winter is basically my Super Bowl for cozy outfits, and nothing beats a classic boyfriend sweater. The CashSoft Shaker-Stitch Boyfriend Sweater from GAP nails that “I borrowed this from my boyfriend” vibe, except it’s softer, cuter, and has way better taste LOL.
It’s made with a supersoft cotton-blend in a timeless shaker-stitch knit, with a relaxed fit that’s perfect for layering and curling up on the couch. The crewneck and tacked cuffs help give it an oversized look without feeling sloppy. And the piece also comes from a factory that invests in gender equity and women’s empowerment through GAP’s RISE program, so it’s a feel-good gift in more ways than one.
As a working mom, anything that solves a problem without adding a new one instantly becomes my favorite thing. I already have a robot vacuum, and it has genuinely changed my life. I literally shut the bedroom door, let it do its thing, and come back to a spotless room. The only way it could be more life-changing is if it vacuumed and mopped… like the Roborock Q7 M5+.
This powerful little machine has 10,000Pa HyperForce suction to lift dust, pet hair, and debris from carpets and hard floors, plus a dual anti-tangle brush system that keeps long hair from wrapping (anyone with shedding pets or shedding humans knows this pain). It also mops as it goes, with adjustable water flow settings so you can customize how deep a clean you want. My favorite part is that it’s basically hands-free for up to seven weeks thanks to the 2.7L sealed dust bag in the RockDock Plus.
Since we’ve already talked about how great ShopBack’s Amazon cashback is for Black Friday weekend (including that wild 1-hour 50% cashback window), consider this your friendly reminder to take advantage of it before you check out.
Holiday cooking season is officially here, which means your oven is about to be overbooked. But get ready to welcome a holiday hero in the form of this Ninja 4 QT Air Fryer, which air fries with up to 75% less fat, reheats leftovers to perfectly crispy perfection, and even dehydrates snacks.
The 4-quart ceramic-coated basket fits up to 2 pounds of fries (or, in my house, an entire batch of “I forgot to make a side dish” veggies). It heats from 105°F to 400°F, making it incredibly versatile; plus, the parts are dishwasher-safe, which might be the greatest gift of all during a chaotic holiday season.
P.S. On Black Friday, Walmart shoppers get 10% cashback through ShopBack, making this already-affordable kitchen upgrade even sweeter.
After finally buying a Caraway cookware set of my own, I can confirm it is worth the splurge. Once you cook with their ceramic non-stick, there’s no going back. You won’t have to scrub furiously at burnt eggs mystery residue ever agan because food just slides off the non-stick coating!
Their 10.5” Ceramic-Coated Fry Pan is the one I reach for most days. I use it for everything from scrambling eggs, to sautéing veggies or just doing a quick stovetop-to-oven recipe. It’s made without PTFE, PFOA, PFAS, lead, or cadmium, and it works on gas, electric, and induction cooktops. It’s even oven-safe up to 550°F, so it’s super versatile for weeknight cooking.
If you’ve been eyeing Caraway, Black Friday is the moment: Home Depot shoppers get 10% cashback through ShopBack, making this premium pan feel like a much easier “add to cart.”
I love when it’s freezing outside and my whole personality becomes “cozy homebody.” For me, scent is an essential part of creating the perfect cozy environment, and one of my absolute go-tos is NEST New York’s Pumpkin Chai Classic Candle. It fills your space with the most comforting blend of wild pumpkin, spicy masala chai, cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon. The premium proprietary wax blend burns cleanly and evenly, giving you a gorgeous glow and rich, lingering scent from the very first light to the last.
ULTA Beauty shoppers will also get 15% cashback through ShopBack on Black Friday weekend (Nov 29-30), so go ahead and get your cozy on.
I recently traveled to California with my 3-year-old, and I am here to say that airplane headphones do not fit toddler ears. I’ve never been more grateful for packing her over-the-head, noise-canceling headphones—they let her watch the entire movie “Aladdin” in peace, which meant I got to enjoy a rare, blissful moment of quiet at 35,000 feet.
Happily, you can manifest that level of calm with Sony’s WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones. Their advanced processors and adaptive microphone system optimize noise cancellation in real time, so you can fully tune out background noise. Co-created with mastering audio engineers, they deliver studio-quality clarity and come packed with smart upgrades, like the new HD Noise Canceling Processor QN3, which is 7x faster than the previous model. And because you’re shopping at exactly the right time, don’t forget to take advantage of the 10% ShopBack cashback through Best Buy on Black Friday!
Fitbit is basically a love language in my family. So when I say the Inspire 3 is a crowd-pleaser, I mean it’s a tracker that’ll quietly become part of your everyday life in the best way.
All you have to do is wear it, and it handles the rest: daily readiness, Active Zone Minutes, 24/7 heart rate, all-day activity tracking, 20+ exercise modes, and even automatic exercise detection (for those of us who forget to tap “start workout”). It also supports stress management with daily scores, mindfulness exercises, breathing sessions, SpO₂ tracking, and irregular heart rhythm notifications. At night, it slips right into sleep mode, ttracking your sleep stages, creating personalized Sleep Profiles, delivering daily sleep scores, and even waking you with a gentle smart vibration alarm.
Don’t forget about the 1-hour 50% cashback flash window when you purchase this through Amazon from 4-5PM PT on Black Friday.
Another fan-favorite dupe for the Dyson is the Shark FlexStyle, which is so good it’ll make you wonder where it’s been your whole life. With a quick twist, it transforms from a powerful, fast hair dryer into a fully loaded multi styler, so you can curl, smooth, volumize, and dry with one device.
Of course, the best part is there’s no heat damage. The FlexStyle constantly measures and regulates temperatures 1,000 times per second to keep heat consistent and safe, so your hair gets the styling power without the scorching. It also comes with everything you need to create endless styles: 1.25" Auto-Wrap Curlers that use Coanda Technology to wrap and set curls automatically, a smoothing paddle brush, a volumizing oval brush, and a styling concentrator for precise airflow.
Plus, since ULTA Beauty is offering 15% cashback on Black Friday weekend, now is when you’ll want to upgrade your styling game.
And that’s a wrap on my holiday shopping picks! Remember, this is the time of year when the deals get good… and with ShopBack, they get even better. Cashback stacks on top of Black Friday sales, which means you keep both the discount and the cashback.
