Amazon

Herschel

Novel Duffle Bag

This brand always holds back some of its best deals for big shopping events, but early shoppers can find some discounts on Herschel backpacks and duffels at Amazon.

Samsung

The Frame 4K Art TV

It wouldnl’t be Black Friday without a sale on our favorite TV. The newest version of The Frame has a truly unique glare-free display, an AI processor, and expanded art library. So, if you haven’t already upgraded your living room with this award-winning TV, it’s time.

Delsey Paris

Cruise 3.0 Hardside Expandable Luggage

New to Amazon, this Delsey Paris bag will give your Samsonite spinner a real self-esteem crisis. This attractive bag has a sleek, durable exterior and two compartments for packing. Incredibly, it has a patented overweight indicator, which warns you if your bag exceeds airline weight limits.

Amazon

50″ 4-Series 4K Fire TV

Budget TVs get even moreso during the Black Friday season, and that goes double for Amazon Fire TVs. Expect prices to drop even further on this smart TV.

Casper

Original Hybrid Mattress

Sure, memory foam is great, but a mattress should have a little bounce. Casper’s hybrid still provides the comfort of memory foam, but with added support for sleep—and everything else you do in the bedroom.

LG

LG C4 Evo OLED 4K TV

The C4 OLED is probably the best TV in the world right now (unless you’re trying to spend $20,000 on a Mini QLED 98-incher, and we know that you’re not). A GQ Tech Award 2024 winner, this stunner is already on sale.

Sonos

Beam Gen 2 Soundbar

As of this writing, the Sonos soundbar isn’t on sale, but we expect that to change soon. Keep an eye on this soundbar if it’s on your holiday wishlist.

Amazon

Fire TV Soundbar

If you already have a lot of Amazon devices, then add a smart soundbar to the mix. This speaker will sync easily with other Amazon gadgets and Fire TVs. And few devices get bigger discounts during Black Friday than Amazon’s own.

Vitamix

5200 Professional-Grade Blender

This industrious blender can whip up smoothies, sauces, and frozen cocktails as efficiently as any appliance in a professional kitchen. Expect more fancy blenders from Vitamix and Wolf Gourmet to go on sale as Turkey Day draws near.

Levi’s

501 Original Fit Jeans

Black Friday is a good time to stock up on classics, and they don’t get more classic than this.

Calvin Klein

CK One Unisex Cologne

One of the all-time greats is on sale at Amazon again.

Hermes

Hermes Terre D’ Hermes

GQ recently named this the best woody cologne, which is exactly the right fragrance profile for fall.

Amazon

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32 GB)

Lately, Prime Day discounts on Kindles have been… disappointing. But now that Amazon just released an entirely new generation of Kindles, and they just got their first-ever price drop as of November 21.

Oral-B

iO Series 3 Limited electric toothbrush

Electric toothbrushes are another category you can depend on for Black Friday discounts. Look for steep discounts on popular models, like this deep cleaning, plaque-busting brusher from Oral-B.

Samsung

Galaxy Watch 6 40mm

For Android shoppers, Samsung’s excellent smart watch gets an early Black Friday discount. It’s the perfect companion for the ultra-hip new Z Flip 6 smartphone.

Like to ask Alexa about the weather before you start your day? Then invest in the most compact Echo speaker to date, the adorable Echo Pop. When it goes on sale, you can snag this speaker for just $18.

Anker

633 Magnetic Battery Pack for iPhones

Anker makes some of our favorite charging accessories, and we’re not arguing with 50% off this MagSafe wireless charger.

Nectar

Memory Foam Mattress

For a more affordable bed, check out Nectar’s memory foam bed, with layers of cooling foam to help you sleep better.

Bose

QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones

These are easily the most comfortable headphones in the world right now, which would be enough of a reason to buy them. However, they’ve also got elite ANC and spatial audio, not to mention a $100 Black Friday price drop. We don’t expect these cans to get any cheaper, so there’s no reason to wait any longer.

Kiehl’s

Ultra Facial Cream with 4.5% Squalane

Is it time to re-up on your face moisturizer? Kiehl’s famous facial cream is now sold on Amazon. Filled with squalane and natural moisturizers, you can pick it up with a 34% discount and Prime shipping.

Jaxon Lane

Super Serum

Not quite ready for a retinol? Jaxon Lane’s excellent men’s anti-aging serum picked up a GQ Grooming Award when it was first released, and we’re still fans. It’s got vitamin C and niacinamide, but also the popular plant-based retinol alternative bakuchiol.

AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds

They’re AirPods Pros, so you know what you’re getting: six hours of battery life, great noise cancellation, and hearing aid capabilities.

Walmart

The big-box store has exclusive deals on tech gifts, budget TVs, and home appliances, including from brands like Dyson.

Ninja

4-Quart Air Fryer

The 4-quart Ninja air fryer on Amazon costs as much as $130, which makes this a pretty sweet deal. Sorry, Walmart, but you can’t make us say rollback.

Hisense

65″ Class S7N CanvasTV Series 4K Smart TV

The Frame, Samsung’s famed art TV, finally has some real competition. The ultra-thin Hisense CanvasTV is a compelling alternative. It’s still got a bright, anti-glare QLED display, but the 65″ version costs $500 less.

Hisense

55-Inch Class U8 Series Mini-LED Pro+ ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV

This typically $1,000 TV is now just a little over $700, offering excellent picture quality and built-in Google compatability.

Dyson

V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

You won’t find this vacuum for sale at Amazon or Target—let alone with a $250 discount. As one of Walmart’s biggest and earliest Black Friday doorbusters, there’s no reason to wait to shop this deal. In fact, wait too long, and you may miss your chance to get the laser-guided vacuum of your dreams.

KitchenAid

Deluxe 4.5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

Few kitchen appliances are as iconic as this KitchenAid mixer. When you see that cherry red color on the counter, you know something good is about to come out of the oven.

Apple

M1 MacBook Air

Yes, you can still buy the legendary M1 MacBook Air. Walmart is one of the only retailers still selling new models of this award-winning MacBook, which debuted Apple’s M-series chips. The most affordable MacBook available today, it’s surprisingly powerful.

AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

During the October Prime Day sale, the newest AirPods got their first big discount. We expect to see that price drop again soon, but you can already save a little on the retail price at Amazon.

Apple

Apple AirPods Max Headphones

Look, we’d love to recommend Sony’s XM5 headphones, which sound incredible. But we can’t get over the fact that they’re made from plastic. Apple’s over-ears are more expensive, but they’ll get more affordable as Black Friday gets closer.

Apple

M4 MacBook Pro

Just as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors started catching up to Apple’s latest silicon, the M4 MacBook Pro dropped. If you’re a professional who needs as much processing power as possible, you can score this brand-new laptop with a slight discount for Black Friday. And if you don’t know the difference between Snapdragon and M-series chips anyway, the MacBook Air is on sale, too.

Apple

M3 MacBook Air

This is the Apple laptop we’d recommend for most people. It’s got an impressive processor and all the quintessential Apple touches.

Apple

Apple Watch Series 10 [GPS 46mm]

The new Apple Watch is so smart it can even tell you if you have sleep apnea. While most people use this to queue up music and texts while they’re on the go, as a fitness and sleep tracker, the Series 10 is unmatched (unless you’re splurging on the Apple Watch Ultra 2, that is).

Apple

Apple Watch Ultra 2 [GPS + Cellular 49mm]

Apple’s flagship smartwatch has a bigger display, longer battery, and more durability than they Series 10. If you’ve got the budget, it’s the most advanced smart watch in the world right now.

Black Friday FAQ

When Is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday is unusually late this year, and the holiday officially begins on Friday, November 29. Traditionally, Black Friday starts promptly at midnight the night of Thanksgiving, though retailers like Amazon usually wait until midnight on the West Coast (so, Pacific time).

When Is Cyber Monday 2024?

This year, Cyber Monday takes place on Monday, December 2, 2024. Originally conceived by retailers to promote online shopping, it’s somewhat redundant today. While some brands will save deals specifically for Cyber Monday, the distinction between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is collapsing. For most brands and retailers, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are more of a season, which can begin as early as October and last until mid-December.

Where Are the Best Places To Shop on Black Friday?

In recent years, Amazon has offered the best Black Friday deals, both in terms of total items on sale and in terms of lowest pricing. Other retailers just can’t match the breadth of Amazon’s selection, nor beat them on pricing. However, if you’re only shopping at Amazon, you’re missing out. Target Circle and My Best Buy members can find exclusive deals you won’t find at Amazon, for instance. Likewise, you’ll sometimes find lower pricing on select items at Walmart. In addition, Amazon’s selection of clothing and furniture is limited, so you’ll want to look at other shops.

Finally, don’t miss out on savings from DTC brands that you can’t find at the big-box stores. DTC darlings like Brooklinen, Floyd, Prose, Warby Parker, and Casper host their own Black Friday sales.

To put it plainly, by the time Black Friday officially starts on Friday, Nov. 29, everything will be on sale.

What Deals Can I Expect from Black Friday- Cyber Monday 2024?

Our shopping journalists have sharpened their teeth on many a Prime Days and Black Fridays gone by. We also get advance notice from retailers and brands about upcoming holiday sales. And so we have a bit more than a hunch about what you’ll find on sale this year. Here’s a snapshot of the deals you can get now; keep an eye out because we’ll be adding to this weekly.
