India, Nov. 28 -- STRAP: Latest tech gadgets, make-up must-haves, fashion finds or kitchen upgrades -- what's in the shopping cart There's no better time of year to stock up than Black Friday. And while social media influencers are usually the ones dishing out recommendations to millions, this time they're the ones refreshing carts and hunting for the next big steal. From viral beauty buys to smart home essentials, to the fanciest electronics, here's what some of Delhi-NCR's most popular creators can't wait to get their hands on this sale season. Kritika Khurana, Fashion and beauty influencer "Black Friday is here and I'm honestly so excited. Every year I tell myself I won't shop and every year, I fail. But this time I'm only looking for things that actually help me with my content and there are a few things that just make content SO much easier. Like first, I really want a good mini light, that I can just carry around? Then a small mic. You know those soft aesthetic videos I make? A good mic would make them sound so much nicer. And maybe some pretty decor pieces for my new place. You guys know I love warm, cozy corners.A nice mirror, a candle holder, something that looks cute on camera, that always inspires me to create more." Yashvi Bagga- Vlogger- 1.4M followers "Don't expect some financially intelligent investment from me I'm a lip-balm girlie at heart. While people wait for iPhones and gadgets, I'm out here refreshing Nykaa like it's the stock market because Victoria's Secret, Laneige and half the perfumes and lipglosses in the universe magically become 50% off. Black Friday is the only time I can buy a Rs.1000 lip balm without my mom launching a full emotional TED Talk on 'Value of Money'. So yes, I am absolutely waiting. Because: glossy lips >>> financial maturity." Praveen- 594k followers "I'm buying peace of mind. If Amazon lists it at even 10% off, I'm adding to cart immediately. I don't need more gadgets - I need inner peace delivered in 2 days with free returns and zero adulting required. Neatly bubble wrapped, with the delivery guy saying, 'Sir, please leave a 5-star rating for mental stability.' And if there's a 'buy one, get one free', I'm gifting the extra one to all my overthinking friends who haven't known peace since 2019 (which was seven years ago) Also, if Amazon starts selling serotonin packets, I will buy the entire stock and gift it to my mother! Jokes apart, I'm waiting to buy a treadmill I'll use twice-once to test it and once to post an Instagram story saying 'new beginnings'." Shivesh Bhatia- Food Blogger- 4M followers Honestly, one of the best Black Friday steals for any baking creator is a solid stack of cookbooks. I'm always picking up titles that go deep into easy at home baking because they push me to experiment more in my own kitchen and experiment things for people to easily replicate. Cookbooks are great because they don't just give you recipes, they train your eye for styling, flavour pairings, and how to structure a bake from start to finish. I love sitting with a cup of coffee, bookmarking pages and thinking, "Okay, how can I give this my own twist for content?"Some books are amazing just for the visuals - they inspire new shot ideas, new angles, new ways to plate a simple cake. Black Friday is the perfect time to finally pick up those slightly expensive, chef-y books you've been eyeing all year.So if you're a baking creator, invest in cookbooks that challenge you - they quietly make your recipes better and your content so much more interesting."...
