Just like that, Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2021 have come and gone (although there are still a few amazing deals you can shop!). This year, according to an Adobe Analytics report, people spent some $8.9 billion on Black Friday alone—and that's only including online sales. Add in-store shopping and Cyber Monday sales—and Cyber Weekend sales—and it's obvious why the last few days make up the year's biggest shopping holiday.

But of all the billions of dollars spent, which products were the most popular and the most in-demand? We analyzed all of our data to determine the top-selling items of Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2021. Below are the 10 products our readers bought over and over again, from the must-have Apple AirPods Pro to the Revlon hair styling tool everyone can't seem to get enough of.
