Now that we’re in mid-November, it’s time to start thinking about holiday shopping. Amazon’s early Black Friday deals are coming in hot this year, and since everything feels expensive lately, it’s a great time to shop sales.
Shop for home improvement updates for winter projects, treat yourself to an Advent calendar or two, or get a 75-inch TV for watching this season’s best football games. Amazon is also loaded with sales on gift-worthy items, so you can take care of your Christmas gift list before Thanksgiving arrives.
Amazon’s official Black Friday sale is set to begin on Thursday, Nov. 19, but we’re already seeing early Black Friday offerings, which include big savings on Amazon devices.
Check back as the Mashable team of shopping experts will keep this page updated as we get closer to Black Friday.
Best MacBook deal
Read Mashable’s full review of the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air (M5).
Why we like it
Sitting at the sale prices we saw during October Prime Day, both the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Airs with the M5 chip are $200 off. The Air is a great choice if you’re looking for a combination of powerful processor and lightweight design. We’re also impressed with the MacBook Air’s speakers, not to mention the sharp display.
Best Lego deal
Why we like it
You can never go wrong with snagging a Lego set for yourself or any other brick fan in your friend circle. While it’s still in stock, get the Lego Pokémon Eevee for $47.99 at Amazon. The set will look fantastic amid the holiday display on your bookshelf. Eevee stands about 7.5 inches tall and has movable limbs and head-tilt capabilities.
Best Amazon device deal
Why we like it
Now that the leaves are crunchy and we’re staying indoors more, it’s the perfect time to get an e-reader. As a surprise early Black Friday deal, Amazon has the standard Kindle on sale as a bundle with the new Amazon Click page-turning remote for the Kindle and a knit case. The basic Kindle is Mashable’s top choice for a budget e-reader, noting it has quick performance and plenty of storage space.
Best kitchen deal
Why we like it
Mashable awarded the Ninja Crispi as the best kitchen gift of 2026. Air fryers have proven they deserve space on the kitchen counters but Ninja went ahead and added glass containers, and now we’re cooking everything in the Crispi. The 4-in-1 model comes with two glass containers that nest inside of each other for easier storage when not using the air fryer.
Best headphones deal
Why we like it
Read our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones.
On the list of tech we use all day, every day, we have phones, laptops, and headphones. If your current headphones don’t sound all that great, it’s time for something better. Before you head off on holiday travel, upgrade to the flagship Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones.
Mashable’s lineup of the best headphones ranks the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones as the best pair for premium sound. Yes, they’re still an investment at the sale price (already down to the lowest we’ve ever seen at Amazon), but considering how often we use headphones, they could be well worth the price for many people.
Best TV deal
Why we like it
Black Friday is a great time to upgrade your TV, but you might not have to wait until the end of November. Now’s your chance to get a 75-inch TCL QLED TV for half off. It comes with built-in Google TV, up to 6,000 nits of brightness, and a super-thin design for a modern look. Plus, Amazon is tossing in free delivery and unpacking in the room of your choice.
Best outdoor deal
Why we like it
Sure, you’ve packed away the camping gear for the year, but Black Friday sales are a great time to make upgrades to outdoor gear. The Yeti Roadie 48 wheeled cooler is on sale for $340 at Amazon, down from the normal price of $425.
The quality of the retractable periscope handle, durable puncture-resistant wheels, and locking mechanism all make it well worth the investment. Plus, it might come in handy for transporting dishes to Thanksgiving and holiday gatherings, so you can start using it right away.
Best Dyson deal
Why we like it
Have a home with hard floors? The Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones is designed specifically to get your floors cleaner than they’ve ever been. With LED lights on the front and back, you’ll be able to clearly see which areas need a vacuum, and it can lie flat for getting under any piece of furniture.
We all know Dyson products can be spendy, so shopping Dyson deals during Black Friday is a smart move. The $440 sale price at Amazon matches the record low, so now’s an ideal time to make the upgrade.
Best beauty tech deal
Why we like it
Beauty tech is one of the categories we tend to see the biggest price drops during holiday shopping season. If you could use a better hair dryer and styler or someone on your shopping list would love one, check out the early sale on the Shark FlexStyle.
With no heat damage and fast drying, the Shark FlexStyle is a fantastic dryer and styler. This model only weighs 1.5 pounds, making it travel friendly for the holidays.
