Buy Me Once Chosen By You 2026

You choose the sale.

Tick the things you'd like to see discounted this November. The most-voted products are the ones I take to the brands.

Voting is open until midnight on Sunday 15 November. It takes about two minutes.

Hi, Tara here 👋

Have you noticed that most Black Friday sales decide for you? A wall of red banners, a countdown clock, and a pile of things nobody asked for. I've never liked it much.

So at Buy Me Once we do the opposite, and we call it Chosen By You. You vote for the things you actually want, category by category, and the products with the most votes are the ones I take to the brands to ask for a proper discount. You choose the sale. I just go and negotiate it.

Below are five short lists, plus a sixth one I'm rather pleased with: the long-lasting things we don't sell ourselves. Tick what you've been putting off, and I'll email you when the price drops somewhere good.

Last year the thing you asked for most was a pair of socks, which I think tells you everything lovely about this list.

Love, Tara x
