Here’s how we test products and why you should trust us.AmazonIn the good old days, Black Friday was one simple (albeit chaotic) day a year; now it’s a whole month of debating whether or not we should take the plunge on a deal or wait for it to get better. Who has the time? We do, because it’s our day job. We spent hours browsing Amazon’s pre-Black Friday deals so you don’t have to.Shop Amazon’s Early Black Friday SaleHere’s the deal: For now, select Apple tech, the best art TVs (including the Samsung Frame), several respectable designer watches, and our all-time favorite T-shirt are already on decent sale, so you don’t have to wait on those. But sit tight on things like Kindles, Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and big-ticket furniture—for now.Jump to:Best Apple DealsBest Tech DealsBest Menswear DealsBest Watch DealsBest LEGO DealsBest Home DealsBest Travel DealsBest Grooming DealsBest Gaming DealsBest Deals on GiftsBest Apple DealsExpect Amazon to ramp up Apple deals throughout the month (we’re holding out hope for the already-cheap MacBook Neo to go on sale for the first time and are almost positive the AirPods 5 will drop below $100), but for now, these are the only Apple deals remotely deserving of your attention. FYI: Apple AirTags are currently the cheapest they’ve ever been.Best Tech DealsArt TVs are reigning supreme when it comes to Amazon tech deals right now—perfect for watching Thanksgiving football or displaying a fireplace screensaver over the holidays. Several of our favorite art TVs are already marked down, including Hisense, Samsung Frame, and TCL. (Though the Frame deal stands to steepen.) Kindles haven't been discounted yet, but we expect them to be on Black Friday.Best Menswear DealsEsquire editor staples like Lacoste polos and Levi’s jeans are already heavily discounted on Amazon. Shop early to secure a Thanksgiving outfit that’ll impress those random family members you rarely see. You’ll have better luck shopping for running shoes and workout gear if you wait.Best Watch DealsAmazon sales are our secret source for great watches. Right now, you can save up to 40 percent on timepieces from Citizen, Bulova, Casio, Tissot, Timex and other respectable makers. Additional models will be discounted around Cyber Monday, so don’t give up hope if the one you’re eyeing is still full price.Best LEGO DealsLEGO sets make for crowd-pleasing gifts for that niece or nephew of yours (or, you know, older brother), but we’re just as likely to keep these discounted sets for ourselves. (Hey, anything to take a screen break.) We’ve seen LEGO deals sell out fast in years past, so shop early while stock is plentiful.Best Home DealsAmazon’s pre-Black Friday sale can also help you prepare your home for holiday hosting duties. You can bet on finding cleaning gadgets, cookware sets, leaf blowers, mattresses, coffee makers—you name it—for less than full price in November. Deals on large furniture items like sofas and dressers are so-so as of now, but that should change in the coming weeks.Best Travel DealsAirline travel is expensive enough, so don’t waste money on full-priced luggage. Samsonite, Troubadour, and other popular brands are already offering discounts on checked suitcases, carry-ons, duffels, and backpacks—but Away and Monos are still full price, so stand by if you have your heart set on those.Best Grooming DealsSkip a trip to the store (and save a few bucks in the process) by picking up personal care products during your next Amazon haul. Now is a great time to invest in a new electric razor or restock your cologne, but we’d wait to buy beauty gifts for the women in your life until closer to Black Friday.Best Gaming DealsFYI, Madden NFL 27 and NBA 2K27 games for the latest Xbox and PlayStation models are currently discounted on Amazon (though sadly, the gaming systems themselves are not—yet). Supportive swivel chairs, curved computer monitors, over-ear headphones, and other gaming essentials are also on sale. Upgrade your setup now so you can enjoy it over the holiday break.Best Deals on GiftsIn this economy, who can afford to spend full price on holiday gifts? Shop wisely before Amazon’s Black Friday-Cyber Monday sale, and you can check loved ones off your list early for up to 40 percent less. If the gifts you’ve already been eyeing yourself are still full price, hold off; there’s a strong chance they’ll be marked down in the coming weeks.
