![WHS’s Connect Program ran its annual holiday gift drive to fulfill the wishlist of children enrolled in the Dorchester based non-profit daycare organization, the Yawkey Center. This drive brought the town together and impacted both the students in Connect, as well as the greater Wayland community. “You could see how helpful the town was and how our community came together and wanted to help out a community that wasn't our own [and] kids who were less fortunate than we were,” senior and Connect Program member Jordynn Lee said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/screenshot_2024-12-20_at_12.21.24___pm_720-e1734734228474.png)

“This event is one of the things that [the Boy Scouts] get to have a direct impact on the community,” freshman Alex Macleod said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-11-at-8.38.38 AM.png)
Black Friday, which occurs every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving, can be an opportunity to get a head start in purchasing upcoming holiday gifts or necessities at your favorite store. Whether its a discounted trending item or a decoration for your home, many stores can be full of great sales. Here are some stores and their sales to keep an eye on this Friday.
Amazon
Instead of going to overcrowded malls, online stores can be a great alternative. Amazon is the world’s biggest online retail store, containing furniture, clothes, makeup, toys and food. It has Black Friday deals that range from 20% to 80% off the original price. With the holiday season coming up, Amazon can be a resourceful and convenient place to shop for the perfect gifts for your family and friends. Not only does Amazon participate in Black Friday, it also has Cyber Monday, which occurs three days after Black Friday.

EvryJewels
If you’re looking for a place that sells high-quality jewelry and has good deals during Black Friday, hen EvryJewels is the place. Jewelry is a classic gift for friends and family during the holiday season and buying it at 80% off its original price is a steal. We were able to buy some of our family members a couple pieces of jewelry as well as treat ourselves with a piece. The package arrived less than a week later with the jewelry in perfect condition.
Edikted
The clothing store Edikted gained popularity through many influencers endorsing the brand on TikTok. Edikted is seen by some as the picture-perfect store for any teen who wants to elevate their style with unique pieces. There’s no better time to splurge on Edikted than now since the pre-Black Friday sale is already at 50% off sitewide.
Macy’s
Macy’s has everything from clothes to home decor and furniture, but home appliances and furniture can be pricey. Home appliances and furniture can be a possible gift for new homeowners or people hoping to re-decorate, renovate or remodel their house. Additionally, if you’re starting to decorate your home for the upcoming holiday season, Macy’s is a great place to start shopping, especially with its Black Friday deals.
Garage
Garage has been a popular store, but with the big sales happening on Black Friday, it may grab more attention. There is a section online to shop for clothing that is on sale. The other advantage to shopping on Garage’s online store is its online shopping cart, so you can prepare for when the sales become official. Even though Garage’s clothing can be relatively cheaper prices, it will become even more affordable with the sales.
