Amazon, The Home Depot, and Best Buy are quietly dropping epic early Black Friday deals — here's what I'd buy

Get a jump start on your holiday shopping

The first Black Friday sales of 2026 are now live. Sure, it may feel like we just celebrated Halloween, but Thanksgiving is roughly 20 days out and the Black Friday creep is starting earlier than ever.

I've been tracking Black Friday deals for 19 years and November is hands-down the best time of year to buy just about anything. 4K TVs, kitchen appliances, running sneakers, and tablets are just a handful of the items you'll find discounted this month. The best part is that you don't have to wait till Black Friday proper to start saving.

Major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon have started their Black Friday tease with deals even I didn't expect to see this early. For example, Amazon devices are on sale from $23 right now. The sale includes lowest prices of the year on Blink, Fire TV Sticks, and even Amazon's new line of Ember 4K TVs.

Below I'm rounding up all of my favorite deals on devices we've tested, recommend, or personally own. For more discounts, check out our Black Friday deals guide.

Need a new bed? You don't have to wait for Black Friday — which is a great relief if you need a mattress in time to host guests for Thanksgiving. Several brands have already started their Black Friday sales, including Helix and Saatva. Check out all the best mattress deals available now in the article linked below.

32% off a MicroSD card for more Switch 2 game storage...

This Samsung MicroSDXC card gets you more storage — and since it's compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, it's handy if you want more space for your digital games. Right now you can get a 512GB card for $99. The lowest price ever for this one is $74, but since prices for storage devices are generally on the rise, this deal isn't bad. I'm a Switch 2 gamer myself, so I'm very tempted.

A smart light bulb and smart speaker in one?!

Here's a fun early Black Friday deal that makes for a great gift. This gadget from GE combines a smart light bulb with a smart speaker — meaning you can jam out to your favorite tunes while enjoying a colored light show, all without getting out of bed.

The best air fryer we've ever tested — the Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1 — is on sale for its lowest price ever. It's incredibly easy to use, cooks fast and delivered delicious results every time in our tests. It'll be especially handy on Thanksgiving if you want to make crispy roasted veg or serve snacks like wings and fries.

Looking for gear that's all-weather ready? My colleague Olivia Halevy has shared her favorite deals on Patagonia apparel, with up to 50% off beanies, jackets, parkas and more. Perfect to keep you cozy and dry no matter what the conditions. Or, if (like me) you're planning to hole up indoors for the rest of the winter, these make for good gifts for the outdoorsperson in your life.

53% off the Bose QuietComfort Headphones...

Travelling for the holidays? Whether you're flying or road tripping, your journey will be sweeter with your favorite music or podcast — and without annoying distractions. These Bose QuietComfort headphones offer some of the best active noise canceling of any model we've tested, and you can get them for a huge 53% discount right now. The newer Bose QuietComfort (2nd Gen) are out now, but the older headphones do basically the same thing for less.

The Ring Doorbell 2K is 60% off...
