Your one-stop-shop for the best early Black Friday deals at Amazon, Walmart, Wayfair, Nordstrom and more
This just in: Loads of early Black Friday deals just dropped, which means now's the perfect time to buy those gifts for the hard-to-shop-for men and hard-to-please women in your life. Now through Cyber Monday you'll see major discounts from retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Nordstrom and Wayfair, among many others that might tempt you to do some early shopping. After all, if you can knock out most of your holiday gift list before your turkey hits the oven, why not give it a go?
Retailers began dropping their Black Friday sales extremely early this season. In fact, we consider Amazon's October Prime Day sales event to be the de facto kick-off to the holiday shopping season. Black Friday is now Black November, in our book.
Walmart and Nordstrom dropped their Black Friday sales several days ago, while Amazon, Target and Wayfair are just now getting in on the action. We've even spotted some truly excellent deals at places like QVC, Kate Spade, Old Navy and many (many!) more dropping as the days pass. If you plan to buy a gift for literally anyone at all this season, it would be silly not to browse the deals to see if anything catches your eye.
And now that we're a few weeks into Black November, we're already starting to see some deals trend and others low on inventory. We saw hot items like Apple AirTags (was $100, now $74) and the 10th Gen Apple iPad (was $350, now $279) sell out quickly during other major shopping events this year. We also expect that the 2nd Gen Apple AirPods will likely sell quickly this Christmas, as they are currently only $89.

We anticipate that these deals will run through the official Black Friday, when we expect some deals to drop further. That said, don't dillydally if you spot a good deal you like right now, as these prices and their inventory levels definitely won't last.

Does your bedroom need a little spruce? This Calvin Klein comforter set is made from smooth cotton percale for a supersoft and relaxed set. It's made entirely of cotton with a synthetic fill and is machine washable. Get it in five shades for Queen and King sizes.
These pillows are Amazon's No. 1 bestselling bed pillows, with more than 240,000 reviews.And right now you can get both King and Queen sizes for 20% off, making this two-pack a better deal than you'll find on most single standard-sized pillows.
What makes these Beckham Hotel Collection pillows unique is that they're made of a luxurious, ultra-soft, breathable down alternative fill that won't shift or deform overtime like many other types of pillows. The down alternative fill is a great option for those with allergies, too, who might have sensitivities to other pillow fills like feather, down and foam.
Don't fret if you're a side sleeper — these pillows are designed for stomach, back and side sleepers so anyone can find their perfect snoozing position.
The chilliest winter nights call for extra warm bedding, which is where one of these down alternative blankets comes into play. They're packed with a warm microfiber down-alternative that's perfect for allergy sufferers. The fill is enveloped into a box-quilted design that keeps it locked in place for evenly distributed warmth year after year — no shifting down fill after a season's use. Plus, it's been treated with a 3M Scotchgard treatment that helps release stains easily and wicks away moisture.
Nearly 2,000 reviewers give it top marks, too. "Love these blankets and I've purchased these before," said a recent reviewer. "My Grandkids absolutely love them for their beds. Warmth without unnecessary weight."
Get them in 12 colorways in sizes Twin ,Full/Queen and King.
Whether you're a hot sleeper or a cold sleeper, you'll find that this all-season duvet insert is comfortable for all-year use. Because it's made with natural materials — goose and feather down — it's naturally breathable and helps regulate your body temperature as you sleep.
Reviewers give it top marks too, with a 4.4-star rating among over 1,000 comments. "I feel like I'm sleeping at a Hilton Hotel!" wrote one recent shopper. "Very light, yet keeps me cozy warm on cold nights and cozy cool on warm nights. Much better than having multiple layers of quilts."
A few years ago I wrote about how weighted blankets give me my best sleep, even at my most anxious. And it's still true today. While most weighted blankets are weighed down with glass or plastic beads to provide the Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) therapy they're known for, these are designed with a weighted, open-knit that keeps you cool and comfortable while you sleep.
Choose from cream or gray in 10- or 15-pound weights.
These unassuming 1,800 thread count sheets are perfect for spare beds when you just want to have an extra couple of sheets on hand for overnight guests. Choose from over 15 colors, from creamy Coconut Milk to moody Eggplant in sizes Twin to California King sizing.

An old-school drip coffee maker is great — sometimes. But when you have a house full of people who like their coffee in very, very different ways, a Keurig is the easy choice. This K-Express Essentials brews up single-serve pods of coffee in three sizes — 6, 8 and 10 ounces — in whatever pod flavor you like. Perhaps grandpa prefers a strong black coffee while your granddaughter loves a pumpkin spice blend. Now, everyone can have their coffee just the way they like it.
Editor's note: The sage color pictured is out of stock, but you can still grab this deal in black, navy, red and sky blue.
This jack-of-all-trades performs four crucial kitchen functions: air-frying, roasting, reheating and dehydrating. The basket is deep enough to fit a slew of chicken chunks, and easy to clean. If you're feeding a large brood, yes, you may be better served by a larger model, but this 4-quart option is perfect for singletons, couples or a pair of hungry, hungry housemates.
For the coffee lover who really hates when their cuppa goes cold, the Ember temperature-control mug is a no brainer. I'm a long-time owner of the original Ember mug (this is the model No. 2) and I love it because it prevents me from having to heat up my drink over and over when I'm having a leisurely morning.
In fact, we ranked this as one of our best heated coffee mugs of the year because it's "the self-heating mug that made me fall in love with self-heating mugs," according to our tester Rick Broida.
The charging base keeps your drink warm to your preferred temperature for up to 80 minutes. It comes with an app where you can set temperature preferences, make presets and more. The charging base also works without an app and remembers your last preference settings.

With this countertop ice maker, you'll get ahead of the problem as it can have ice cubes ready in as little as six minutes. Plus, it's portable, so you can move it around and place it right next to your cocktail station or drinks stand if you like.
Plus, it's well-reviewed, with over 7,500 reviewers giving it an overall 4.5-star rating at Walmart. "I never run out of ice and I don't have to mess around with the ice trays anymore," said one recent shopper.

There's a reason this Shark Navigator has been branded an XL — it features an extra large dust cup to help you get rid of messes all over your home without the need for constant emptying. But when it is time to dump the mess, the dust cup can be easily removed and emptied into the trash without any hassle. It's powerful and great for hard-to-reach spots — and always selling out, but right now it's in stock and you can also snatch it up at Walmart for more than half off.

Pet owners understand that a good carpet cleaner is essential to make sure your home looks (and smells) its best at all times. This Hoover does the work of a much bigger machine — like the ones you can rent, for example — but it's small enough to fit in your own cleaning closet!
One very enthusiastic reviewer agrees: "I am in love with this carpet cleaner. I always had a Bissell but it never had the suction I needed for my low pile carpet. This Hoover is amazing — easy to fill and empty and the suction is so strong."

This moisture-boosting serum has been a favorite among skincare obsessives for years. It's made of 96% snail mucus filtrate that gently exfoliates the skin while smoothing and resurfacing skin's texture. It's great for those with redness, irritation, dryness and blemishes.
"I discovered this skin care through TikTok in January of last year and have been using it since," wrote one recent reviewer. "Out of all the skin care products I’ve used over the years, this was by far the best resulting ones ever! I use it everyday before bed and my skin is so clear, it feels so lightweight and makes my skin so soft."
The Solawave Radiant Renewal Wand is a red light therapy device that's been recommended to us by dermatologists over the years. It is best used daily when paired with your preferred serums to stimulate collagen, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and decrease redness and inflammation of the skin. It's a more affordable alternative to pricey red light therapy masks that sit on your skin.
The Solawave is a 4-in-1 wand that provides red light therapy, therapeutic warmth to soothe skin and reduce dark circles, a facial massage to reduce puffiness and a stimulating galvanic current to aide in the absorption of serums.

We were thrilled to spot our best overall orthopedic shoes for those with foot pain on sale at Nordstrom for a limited time. The Hoka Bondi 8 is a walking and everyday running shoe that provides the highest level of cushioning the brand offers and has been upgraded with a more stable, extended heel.
