Avoid Black Friday unless you really do your research on the category of products beforehand. If you want to find great deals on stuff, buying used items is usually a good idea.

The answer might be vastly different depending on where you live, what things interest you, and so on. If you have a hobby already, get something related to your hobby.

Do you like tinkering with tech? Maybe buy a raspberry pi (or clone) to mess with, which can be awesome both for learning and for doing useful things for so many purposes.

Do you want to get in better shape? Maybe a resistance band, running shoes, or some weights.

Do you have an interest in art? Maybe a watercolor kit might be a good idea...

Basically it needs to be related to your goals and interests.
